India achieves another milestone in its defense capabilities as it successfully test fires its indigenous 1500 HP engine designed for military tanks. This remarkable feat underscores India's commitment to bolstering its indigenous defense manufacturing capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign imports. The development of this powerful engine represents a significant step forward in India's quest for self-reliance in defense production, aligning with the government's "Make in India" initiative. With this indigenous engine, Indian military tanks are poised to become more potent and efficient, enhancing the country's defense preparedness. This achievement not only strengthens India's military prowess but also boosts its engineering and manufacturing prowess on the global stage. The successful test firing of the 1500 HP engine serves as a testament to the expertise and dedication of India's scientists, engineers, and defense personnel. It highlights India's technological advancements in the defense sector and sets the stage for further innovations and developments in indigenous defense manufacturing. #India #Defense #Military #Indigenous #Engineering #MakeInIndia #Technology #Innovation #SelfReliance.......Selfreliance Association,MakeinIndia.2023,IndianDefenceIndustry.com

There is a feeling that in defence, the private sector will break boundaries, evenly competing with government entities & DPSUs if they have true vision for doing great things and invest in R&D in tech. Overall, in 2-3 years, India has to find ways to crack some elusive and advanced tech, raise production capacity and design & build platforms and systems and indigenous equipment faster. Exactly the way IAF chief points out that while Hindustan Aeronautics Limited doing their bit, there will be no aerospace revolution without the equally capable private sector competing and building jets, helicopters and engines. Land forces are spreading(look at ATAGS) and the navy is already building strategic assets with the pvt sector. Truly exciting that the new Defence Secretary of India with his deeper understanding of industrial systems and key tech will drive policies that will help India break barriers and lead into advanced military technologies. And I will continue raising issues of national importance, of technology of capabilities towards national security. #defencesecretary #defence #aerospace #technology #army #iaf #navy #secretary #leadership #industry #makeinindia

There is a lot of analysis written on the Kursk incursion, but I haven’t seen much written about leadership lessons. So I wrote about it. From the intro: “The Ukrainian incursion into the Russian Kursk region in August marked a daring military moment, showcasing the importance of adaptability and leadership under pressure. For leaders in the U.S. Army, there are lessons to extract from this action. You don’t have to be deployed to Europe or be on the ground next to the Ukrainian armed forces to glean lessons, however. The following lessons and takeaways don’t focus on just tactics or logistics, but extend to leadership qualities, mental resilience and strategic thinking, which are crucial for any officer stepping into today’s complex operational environment.” I appreciate the continued support from the Association of the United States Army - AUSA, Army University Press, Harding Project and the Army University Press. https://lnkd.in/ejBBt6dp

STRATEGIC READINESS: INCUBATING MILITARY EFFECTIVENESS Author: Lt Gen NB Singh (Retd) (Narendra Singh) The article discusses the concept of #Strategic #Readiness (SR) and #Military #Effectiveness (ME), using current conflicts like the Gaza war and Ukraine war as examples. SR refers to a military’s ability to provide forces to meet strategic demands, assessing factors like #manning, #equipment, #training, and logistics. ME measures a military’s competitive advantage in combat, requiring agility, technological superiority, and resilience. The text highlights how readiness degrades over time and the importance of #technological dominance, soldier readiness, and #operational capability. It stresses the need for #innovation and resilience to counter surprises in #modern #warfare. https://lnkd.in/gEhqdxyN
