00:00The next war which we are looking at it may happen soon as far as whole of nation approach will be there for the next war it is not the military alone which will be fighting this we have to fight this battle together this non-kinetic has to be fought together merchants today which are part of the battlefield whether starlink apple and so on so forth of course we have the citizen soldiers and I must tell you when Kargil happened the citizen soldiers were prominent
00:28where the shepherd who told us that where the intruders are and the last chief justice of Jammu and Kashmir Mr. Tashi he himself galvanized the locals and himself carried the ammunition for the troops during the Kargil war so what I am saying citizen soldiers are omnipresent and any kind of information which they have if they give us for example drones as you see where the drones are flying so that if it is put in the app it helps us knowing that whether it's our drone whose drone and this kind of a thing we have tried in the
00:57Amanat Yatra recently in JNK and if it becomes successful we will develop it more and with the kind of intelligence here which is sitting here definitely we will be able to make it more if I can say that fail safe proof
01:10of course the guardian force is concerned this is the invisible if I can say that the non-kinetic handlers and this is where you all come into play in a big way because today war has four quadrants
01:25I will not have time to explain the four quadrants but the non-kinetic quadrant is something which you can start today and the next war which we are looking at it may happen soon
01:37and we have to prepare accordingly as already brought out by director that in this we have to fight this battle together this non-kinetic has to be fought together
01:46so what are the deductions that as far as whole of nation approach will be there for the next war
01:53it is not the military alone which will be fighting let me assure you very clearly in this issue
01:57as for the gray zone is concerned it's ever present and this will remain
02:01as for the multi-domain cyber cognitive and space these are the new terms which are coming in
02:07and these are the new terms we need to learn more from you we can tell you what do we want
02:11and what do we need to counter but how when why is something you need to give us the answer
02:16aatmanir bharata aatmanir bharata it's a long-term thing presently whatever technology is being imported
02:23from outside and being called as aatmanir bharata definitely it has a hidden cost
02:27we are ready to pay more cost if it's purely made in india because then we know that we can change it
02:35we can modify it we can upgrade it that is the biggest advantage that is what we are looking at in-house
02:40technology and as far as collaborative and synergistic is concerned that means intra and inter
02:45because today for example we do not know what is happening on the park western front but this
02:54information in the when we have the in exchange of intelligence with our neighbors on the other
03:00side will definitely get to know which are the troops which are moving in what places so what I am
03:04saying that inter connections are also equally important which we call collaborative and these
03:09collaborative will also after some time will go to these satellites and so many other agencies
03:13which are there which are meant for a commercial purposes but can also be used for the defense
03:18purposes and if a synergistic synergistic approach is concerned within us that is the tri services
03:23NTRO and so many other agencies which are there so finally if I look at that India is facing a two and a half
03:30front and if it is facing the land borders then keeping in with the psyche of the people in India today
03:37currency of victory will remain as land
