Anil Chauhan spoke on defense innovation for future challenge

Addressing the Shangri-La Dialogue 2025 in Singapore, Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said, “India has drawn a new redline against terrorism. In such a situation, Pakistan will learn from this conflict and change the policy on terrorism. The subject of this discussion was ‘Defense Innovation for Future’.

Speaking in a discussion with the top commanders of the armies of several countries, including the US Indo-Pacific Command Commander in the Shangri dialogue, General Chauhan said, “During Operation Sindoor, India went 300 kilometers away in Pakistan by going 300 kilometers away from indigenous weapons and its friendly weapons. It shows India’s capabilities.”

India will prepare its theater command- CDS

The CDS said, “During Operation Sindoor, the three army organs, the Army, Air Force and the Navy used shared intelligence, planning and logistic. Taking lessons from the shortcomings of this operation, India will prepare its theater command. But by how long these theater commands will be ready, it is difficult to give time to time.”

Long -running war affects the development of the country, CDS

He said, “Self-reliance does not mean making all kinds of weapons in India itself. For self-sufficiency in the defense, we will need partnership with friends and country.”

On Thursday (May 29, 2025), in the Shangri-La dialogue, CDS said, “India became rapidly disabled after completing the operation. Because without fighting, the mobilization of the army for a long time is not financially friendly. Long-running war affects the development of the country.”

Speaking at the damage done during Operation Sindoor, the CDS said that “no war comes without loss. But it is more important that we are answering to him. CDS said that in just three days we gave a suitable reply to Pakistan and did not increase the war.”

Cds anil chauhan on operation sindoor: The Indian Army was completely rational during Operation Sindoor, so the question of nuclear war does not arise. Because there is no argument of nuclear war in undeclared war. This is to say of the CDS General of the country Anil Chauhan.

General Chauhan’s statement came at a time when US President Donald Trump has linked the end of the military conflict between India and Pakistan to the nuclear war. Addressing selected military commanders and global think-tank members from all over the world during the ‘Shangri-La Dialogue’ in Singapore, Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Chauhan said that without cared for military confrontation with Pakistan, the Indian Army (Thal Army and Navy) was completely clear and independent. The theme of this address was ‘Future Wars and Warfare’.

Know what General Anil Chauhan said

The CDS stated that Operation Sindoor “was a non-contact, multi-domain military confrontation that included kinetic and non-science elements.” General Chauhan said that Operation Sindoor reflects the wars of the near future.

General Chauhan said that modern warfare has a ‘complex convergence’ of domains like land, air, maritime, cyber and space as well as tectical strategies. The CDS said that it is very important in this scenario that Battalfield should be ‘demonified’ ie the battlefield and the force should be used separately. Also, it is necessary to move from large stable military platforms to flexible, misleading strategies. The CDS emphasized real time ‘networking’ for all these domains and strategies.

It took 15 percent time to counter fake news

The CDS said that during Operation Sindoor, 15 percent of the operations took place to counter fake-news. In such a situation, a separate unit is needed for information warfare. But General Chauhan
That “our strategy emphasized fact-based communication, even if it means a slow response.”

General Chauhan said that at the beginning of the operation, two female officers (Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh) worked as a spokesperson while senior leadership was engaged in operations. Only after May 10, DGMO briefed the media.

Pakistan’s Pakistan did not find evidence to help

General Chauhan clearly stated that even though Pakistan has taken the help of China’s commercial satellite, it has not been provided that China has helped in the real-time (drone and missile) attack.

At the same time, the CDS said that India was completely dependent on indigenous weapons like Akash which was integrated from the radar system taken from abroad.

CDS said that cyber operations had a very limited role during Operation Sindoor. The CDS said that there were cyber attacks from Pakistan during the confrontation, which affected public platforms, but the military system was not affected.

Economic stand-point not required

The CDS said that India had become increasingly disassembled after the operations. Because without fighting, the mobilization of the army for a long time is not financially suitable. Long -running war affects the development of the country.

Speaking at the damage done during Operation Sindoor, the CDS said that no war comes without loss. But it is more important how we are answering him. The CDS said that in just three days we gave a suitable reply to Pakistan and did not increase the war.

Regarding terrorists in Pakistan, the CDS said that it is a matter of intelligence (agencies). But if these foreign jihadis try to enter the border of India, then the army will deal with them.

India has long-term strategy regarding relations with Pakistan

The CDS completely dismissed the fact that there is no strategic-defense about India-Pakistan relations. General Chauhan said that at the time of partition (1947), Pakistan was ahead of India in many ways. But today GDP, social harmony and development, India has gone far ahead. This is part of India’s visionary strategic strategy. Strategic-dispensing is also part of this retaliation.
