The list of systems is impressive - from BrahMos to the Kaveri Engine prototype. It's heartening to see our scientists' hard work. Hope they also explain the science behind it in simple terms for students.
Aatmanirbhar Bharat in action! Every missile and system developed indigenously saves us foreign exchange and builds our strategic autonomy. Proud of DRDO. Hope they have live demos or simulators.
As someone who follows defence tech, the Uttam AESA Radar and the Anti-Satellite missile display are the highlights. It's crucial for public to understand these capabilities which ensure our national security.
While exhibitions are good for awareness, I hope the focus remains on timely delivery and meeting armed forces' requirements. There have been delays in the past. The intent is great, but execution is key.
My brother is in the army. He says equipment like the new ballistic helmets and blast suits save lives. Glad DRDO is showcasing this. It builds public trust and shows where our taxes go. 🙏
The theme 'Shanti, Satya Aur Vigyan Ka Sangam' is profound. True security comes from peace, truth
