The discussion focussed on the effectiveness of BrahMos missiles and the future of tanks in modern war and use of drones in wars.
The blurring of lines between peace and war and the emergence of non-state actors in a power game between state actors has forced nations to transform strategies, including India. Is the country ready to face emerging threats? Experts at NDTV's Defence Summit answered this question.
The Russia-Ukraine war, Israel's offensive against Hamas and drone and missile attacks by Houthis in the Red Sea that have affected the global sea trade have brought focus to the changing nature of warfare. The discussion focussed on the effectiveness of BrahMos missiles and the future of tanks in modern war and use of drones in wars.
Russia used the Onyx, anti-ship supersonic cruise missiles, against Ukraine, which Kyiv reportedly claimed was intercepted and can be shot down. The extensive use of air defence systems and drones in the war has led to the question of whether BrahMos is undefeatable in the new-age war.
