Breaking News: Army, Navy, Air Force to Get Major Tech Boost in New Defense Roadmap | ABP NEWS

Following Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, the Indian government has launched a comprehensive 15-year defense modernization roadmap. This strategic plan aims to equip the Army, Navy, and Air Force with cutting-edge technology, bringing them on par with the world’s top military powers. The Indian Army will receive 500 scramjet engines for hypersonic missiles, 1,800 next-generation tanks, 400 light tanks, and 400 armed UAVs. The Air Force is set to get 20 stratospheric airships, 150 stealth UCAVs, 250 anti-drone systems, and 75 high-altitude shadow satellites. The Navy will be strengthened with an additional aircraft carrier, two electromagnetic aircraft launch systems, 10 next-gen destroyers and frigates, and 10 mine countermeasure vessels. In Mumbai, thousands gathered for the grand Ganesh Visarjan of Lalbaugcha Raja, marking the end of Ganeshotsav 2025. The vibrant procession ended at Girgaon Chowpatty with immersion in the Arabian Sea. Meanwhile, Uttarkashi’s Naugaon area witnessed chaos as a cloudburst brought heavy debris into homes and shops, prompting rescue operations. In Haryana’s Palwal, a marriage dispute surfaced resembling the Jyoti Maurya case, highlighting social tensions amid progress. India stands at the intersection of defense growth, tradition, and social evolution.
