India together with Israel and Turkey in..., CDS Anil Chauhan exposes Pakistan, Islamabad on high alert due to...
India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan recently spoke about the brief four-day clash between India and Pakistan that took place in May. He revealed that during this time, Pakistan sent several drones into Indian territory, but many of those drones didn't even work properly. In fact, some were found in nearly perfect condition.
CDS Chauhan was speaking at an event in Delhi, where he emphasized that modern wars can't be won with outdated systems. He praised the quality of weapons made in India and highlighted the country's growing strength in using tactical drones while putting India in the same position as countries like Israel and Turkey.
Talking about the attack, he said that Pakistan had used drones without weapons and also launched 'loitering munitions.' These are special types of drones that hover in the air and strike when they spot a target. However, none of these caused any harm to Indian soldiers or civilians. Most of the drones were shot down, and some were recovered without damage.
This action was part of Operation Sindoor, which was launched on April 22, right after a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Made-in-India anti-drone systems are very important
CDS Chauhan has said that Indian-made weapons played a key role in Operation Sindoor. He stressed how important it is for India to build its own counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) technology systems that can detect and shoot down enemy drones.
He explained that this operation proved how crucial such systems are for our safety. He said India must rely on its own strength and build what it needs, rather than depending on other countries. He added that recent wars around the world have shown that drones can completely change the course of a battle and therefore India must be ready with the right technology. CDS on buying defence technology from other countries
General Chauhan also said that buying defence technology from other countries is not a good long-term strategy. It makes India dependent and weakens our ability to respond quickly in times of crisis. If we build everything in India i.e. from design to final product, we not only protect our secrets but also lower costs, increase production, and stay better prepared.
He added, 'When we build our own defence systems, it becomes harder for the enemy to know our real strength. That gives us an advantage — we can surprise them when needed.'

Trump threatens to hold up stadium deal if Washington Commanders don't switch back to Redskins
President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans. read more President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans. Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a 'big clamoring for this' as well. The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since the 2022 seasons and both have said they have no plans to change them back. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump said the Washington football team would be 'much more valuable' if it restored its old name. 'I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,' Trump said on his social media site. Also Read | Trump's Approval Ratings Plunge Amid Epstein Fiasco National debate ensues His latest interest in changing the name reflects his broader effort to roll back changes that followed a national debate on cultural sensitivity and racial justice. The team announced it would drop the Redskins name and the Indian head logo in 2020 during a broader reckoning with systemic racism and police brutality. The Commanders and the District of Columbia government announced a deal earlier this year to build a new home for the football team at the site the old RFK Stadium, the place the franchise called home for more than three decades. Trump's ability to hold up the deal remains to be seen. President Joe Biden signed a bill in January that transferred the land from the federal government to the District of Columbia. The provision was part of a short-term spending bill passed by Congress in December. While D.C. residents elect a mayor, a city council and commissioners to run day-to-day operations, Congress maintains control of the city's budget. Josh Harris, whose group bought the Commanders from former owner Dan Snyder in 2023, said earlier this year the name was here to stay. Not long after taking over, Harris quieted speculation about going back to Redskins, saying that would not happen. The team did not immediately respond to a request for comment following Trump's statement. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Washington team started in Boston as the Redskins in 1933 before moving to the nation's capital four years later. The Cleveland Guardians' president of baseball operations, Chris Antonetti, indicated before Sunday's game against the Athletics that there weren't any plans to revisit the name change. 'We understand there are different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but obviously it's a decision we made. We've got the opportunity to build a brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future that's in front of us,' he said. Cleveland announced in December 2020 it would drop Indians. It announced the switch to Guardians in July 2021. In 2018, the team phased out 'Chief Wahoo' as its primary logo. The name changes had their share of supporters and critics as part of the national discussions about logos and names considered racist. Trump posted Sunday afternoon that 'The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change. What he doesn't understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly. MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)!' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Matt Dolan, the son of the late Larry Dolan, no longer has a role with the Guardians. He ran the team's charity endeavors until 2016. Matt Dolan was a candidate in the Ohio U.S. Senate elections in 2022 and '24, but lost. Washington and Cleveland share another thing in common. David Blitzer is a member of Harris' ownership group with the Commanders and holds a minority stake in the Guardians.
