Despite Economic Turmoil, Pak Military Remains A Threat: Chief Of Defence Staff

"I think if you look at the armed forces, the biggest challenge would be mostly external (ones). And they are of immediate concern. But then external challenge also unite a nation. We have seen it in Kargil, we have seen it in Galwan," Gen Chauhan said.

Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan today said Pakistan may be in a kind of economic turmoil but militarily there has been "no denting" in its capabilities and its armed forces "remain a threat for us".

During an interaction at a conclave in New Delhi, he also said that India has resources to "take care of our borders", especially disputed borders in the north, very well.

He said this in response to a question on some of the biggest security challenges for India in the 21st century.
