JAISALMER: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said global scenario is changing very fast and in unprecedented manner.
“In such a situation, the strength of our security and our self-reliance is not an achievement, but a necessity."
Singh lauded the joint efforts of DRDO, inspection agencies, public & private industry partners in developing, what he termed, one of the best state-of-the-art missile systems in the world. “With the handing over of MRSAM system to IAF, we have taken a giant leap towards achieving ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ as envisioned by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It will prove to be a game changer in the air-defence-system.”
He reiterated the government’s resolve to strengthen the security infrastructure of the country to deal with any challenges arising out of the rapidly changing global strategic scenario.
He stated that modernisation of the armed forces and building a self-reliant defence industry are being accorded top priority.
