S-400, Made-In-India Missiles & Global Alliances l How India Added Muscle To Its Military In 2021

2021 threw up several new security challenges for India. While China and Pakistan kept the border boiling through the year, the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan also made India rework its security strategy. The government gave a boost to the Indian Armed Forces’ firepower with several key acquisitions including the Russian S-400 air defence system. The Indian government also have special emphasis on producing weapons and defence equipment in the country itself under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The Indian government also stepped up engagement with other democracies to counter other adversaries in the neighbourhood. Here’s a wrap of all the major steps India took in 2021 to bolster its defence sector.

Honest opinion here; for India to be a world power, The army will need more modern equipment especially support vehicles to support the modern infantry, More foreign reserve to be used in special situations since Global warming speeding up. Much larger economy around double the current size around 6Tr USD, maybe we'll see India be a World power by 2030 earliest to 2035 who knows. Opening the economy giving a stim to the local economy. Providing better working conditions that promote people to work in the cities and those who does will stay, (minimum wage kind of stuff) Well Modi have made great progress but many is still need to be done, maybe both of us can figure something out from being formerly scavenged by empirical powers, good luck to us, wish you all a decent time ahead.
