A major war is also not ruled out in the future, according to him. There is a need to deploy capable forces equipped with modern technology on the northern border in such a scenario.
Underscoring the importance of proxy war
China’s and Pakistan’s disputed borders and the sponsored proxy war on them underscored the need for security mechanisms and resources, he said, without naming either country. The trailers of the information age appear as networks, in cyberspace. In these networks, conspiracy is hatched on unstable and active borders.
We need to imagine the battlefields of tomorrow
If we look around us, we will get a sense of reality, General Naravane said. In light of this reality, we should prepare for tomorrow’s war. These trailers should be used to design the battlefield of the future.
