Unconventional tools of warfare pose a major challenge today: Rajnath Singh
Hindustan TimesUnconventional tools of warfare, including information warfare, artificial intelligence -based warfare, proxy warfare, electromagnetic warfare, space warfare and cyberattacks, pose a big challenge in today’s times, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday while addressing officers at the Mhow-based Army War College in Madhya Pradesh. “Mastering frontier technologies in today’s constantly evolving times is the need of the hour, and the military training centres are playing a crucial role in equipping and readying our soldiers to deal with future challenges,” he said. In October too, he had flagged concerns over attempts in “certain pockets” to monopolise and weaponise critical resources, including rare minerals, internet and data, for strategic reasons, at a time when China controls a bulk of the world’s rare earth mineral production. By 2047, we will not only become a developed nation, but our armed forces will also be one of the most modern and strongest in the world,” the defence minister said.
