A COUNTRY’S economic prowess gets automatically reflected in the field of ammunition and India must focus on boosting research and development as well as manufacturing capability in this area, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday.
“We have come far ahead of those times when a bomb’s size and explosive capacity were the only things that mattered. Now, their smartness is as important,” Rajnath Singh said in his speech during an event of industry body Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
If advanced ammunition is the reality of new-age warfare, then the country should focus its attention on where it is standing today in terms of research and development, indigenous capacity and manufacturing capability in this area, he said.
