Good to see the focus on 'Red Teaming' and automation. But I hope the human element isn't lost in this rush to digitize everything. The soldier on ground is still the most important asset. Balance is needed.

President Murmu ji's visit to ARTRAC sends a strong message about the government's commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence. The concept of 'Viksit Bharat' starts with a strong military. Well done!

Interesting to see the Indian Army's focus on training partnerships with friendly foreign countries. In a globalized world, interoperability is key. The "Red Teaming" approach is a good way to test vulnerabilities.
