Addressing the second edition of the Joint Commanders\u2019 Conference in Jaipur, the Defence Minister, according to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, \u201cOperation Sindoor showcased India\u2019s ability to compel its adversary to surrender and reflected the nation\u2019s new military ethos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrorism will be met with a strong and decisive response. Operation Sindoor reflected India\u2019s resolve and military capability to protect national interests,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He stressed the need to strengthen capabilities in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, data analytics and secure communication networks to effectively deal with emerging security challenges.<\/p>\n

He also underlined the importance of maintaining the \u201celement of surprise\u201d during military operations to retain strategic advantage over adversaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe armed forces must remain unpredictable to adversaries while also staying alert to any surprise moves from the enemy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
