It is important that we are able to source sustenance equipment like ammunition indigenously. Even technology, if we import we will always remain one cycle behind. It is important to develop our own capabilities and adequate emphasis is being done. Our import dependencies need to be near zero,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cExercise Bharat Shakti in Pokhran was to demonstrate the ongoing efforts towards capability development through <a href=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/indian-army-focusing-on-leveraging-msmes-and-start-up-ecosystem-gen-pande\/\">Atmanirbharta<\/a>. We were able to demonstrate the robustness of our indigenous systems,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nGeneral Pande also highlighted the ongoing advancements in use of technology in wars.<br \/>\n\u201cConventional combat will no longer determine victory in future \u2013 niche critical tech, unmanned weapons are out of the conventional domain. It is important how efficient we are in leveraging from the technology within our country and those available commercially.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Army Chief said the lesson learnt from the various conflicts around the world showed that countries would not hesitate to go to war over national interests.<br \/>\nResponding to a question on how prepared the Army is to meet challenges on the Northern border given the Chinese presence along the border, Gen Pande said the Army was focused and had a robust system in place.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are very prepared, robust and balanced in terms of components that military has. We have made sure that we have adequate reserves. We have our response mechanism firmly in place. As far as talks go, there have been 21 rounds of talks at the Military Corp Commander level and 14 rounds of WMCC diplomatic talks. It is my belief that only through talks can the matter at hand be resolved,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cWhile we are focusing on talks we are also focusing on developmental work.<br \/>\nPreparedness levels are very high, (there is) close watch on developments across borders,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13781\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13781\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13781\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-27-at-5.19.36-PM-300x172.png\" alt=\"\u201cOur Import Dependencies Need To Be Near Zero\u201d: Army Chief Lays Thrust On Self-Reliance In Military Production\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cOur Import Dependencies Need To Be Near Zero\u201d: Army Chief Lays Thrust On Self-Reliance In Military Production<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, Mar 27: Army Chief General Manoj Pande on Wednesday emphasised self-reliance in military production, stating that it is important that the country is able to source sustenance equipment like ammunition indigenously and develops its own capabilities and adequate thrust is being laid in this direction.
