During the ANI National Security Summit 2.0 in New Delhi, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh emphasized the need for India to reassess its conventional missile strategy due to evolving global conflicts, especially in West Asia and Pakistan's military posture. He noted that the traditional paradigm of missile use has shifted, necessitating a strengthened conventional missile force. Singh highlighted the importance of advanced weaponry, strong air defence systems, and rapid procurement mechanisms to address emerging threats. He pointed out that lessons from ongoing conflicts, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war, are influencing India's defence planning and procurement decisions, with a focus on standoff weapons and mobile artillery systems. Singh also mentioned the proposed Sudarshan Chakra Mission, aimed at creating a multi-layered air defence and offensive system. He reiterated the government's commitment to expedite procurement processes and expand the industrial base for missile production, aiming to enhance national security and preparedness.
