PM Modi to Join Pokhran’s ‘Bharat Shakti’ War Game

Defense News ,India :-  Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to participate in a military exercise called 'Bharat Shakti' in Pokhran, Rajasthan on March 12. The unique aspect of this event is that it will exclusively feature weapons and systems designed within the country. High-ranking officers, including Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan, from all three branches of the military will also take part in the exercise.

The primary focus of the 'Bharat Shakti' exercise is to demonstrate the concept of a 'self-reliant India.' According to a report by Hindustan Times, PM Modi might urge military leaders to develop a strategy centered around India, considering its geography and formulating a plan to address security threats. The exercise will serve as a testing ground for indigenous defense platforms and network-based systems, providing insights into the strength of locally-produced weapons.

The Pokhran exercise will also assess the effectiveness of indigenous communication and networks in the face of potential cyber threats from enemy countries during wartime. A noteworthy aspect of 'Bharat Shakti' is the collaboration of the three branches of the military, offering a rare opportunity for them to work together, despite their usual distinct operational methods.
