Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the 'Bharat Shakti' war game in Pokhran, Rajasthan on March 12th. The exercise will showcase India's commitment to self-reliance in defense by exclusively featuring indigenously designed weapon systems and platforms. Top military officials, including Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan, will also participate.
Prime Minister Modi may call upon military leaders to develop a strategy-focused revolution in military affairs tailored to India's unique geography and security challenges. The 'Bharat Shakti' exercise will test the capabilities of Indian-made defense platforms and network-based systems to assess their combat readiness and resilience against cyberattacks.
A notable aspect of the exercise is the emphasis on joint operations between the three branches of India's armed forces, promoting greater coordination and interoperability.
