When the threat is real and conflict seems possible, the advantage always accrues to those who can stand firm and fight. For our armed forces to be truly effective, it is essential that they remain strong, capable, and self-reliant.

The PM said that just a few months ago, we saw that Vikrant, with its name alone, had put the entire country of Pakistan to sleep. INS Vikrant, whose name alone can shatter the enemy's courage, is the INS. Today, INS Vikrant is a powerful symbol of self-reliance and Made in India. The indigenous INS Vikrant, tearing through the oceans, is a reflection of India's military capabilities.
Summary
PM Modi said that now, on average, a new indigenous warship or submarine is being inducted into the Navy every 40 days. Our missiles like BrahMos and Akash have also proven their capabilities in Operation Sindoor. Our defense exports have increased more than 30-fold in the last decade, and defense startups and indigenous defense units have played a major role in this success.
