Conflicts Now Impose Sustained Demands on Industrial Production: Indian Army Chief
Recent conflicts, especially the Israel-American war on Iran, have showcased that defence industrial output is one of the critical factors to sustain a long-stretched battle against one's adversaries.
Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Upendra Dwivedi on Tuesday stressed that modern conflicts were now putting continuous and severe demands on industrial production, governance structures and research systems.
"The boundary between security and prosperity is no longer a boundary at all. Contemporary conflicts now impose sustained demands not only on armed forces but also on industrial production, research systems, and governance structures. Security is no longer a cause that prosperity must bear; it is the precondition for prosperity to commence its progressive journey," Dwivedi said at a seminar at the Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS) in Delhi.
He underscored that disruption in supply chains
was the handiwork of the very forces that were repeated efforts to make countries interdependent on conflicts.
"The 21st century opens with a confident thesis that forces of trade, supply chains and digital connectivity would make nations too interdependent to conflict," he stated.
"Semiconductors and their selective availability have become tools for hedging. The Strait of Hormuz has become a zone of active contestation. Global defence spending, which has crossed $2.7 trillion, exceeding the entire UN budget for Sustainable Development Goals," the Indian Army chief added.
