Overview

  • Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan released the Joint Doctrine for Special Forces Operations and the Joint Doctrine for Airborne and Heliborne Operations to strengthen interoperability across services.
  • Chauhan outlined the first public contours of Mission Sudarshan Chakra, envisioned as a shield-and-sword air and missile defense network integrating multi‑domain ISR, AI, data analytics, missiles and directed‑energy options, with rollout targeted by 2035.
  • He said Operation Sindoor remains underway and that lessons from the May conflict are already being implemented across the armed forces.
  • Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warned that wars have become sudden and unpredictable, urging whole‑of‑nation preparedness, multi‑domain capability, and technology‑led modernization.
  • Concluding the practitioner‑led seminar, the CDS acknowledged differing views voiced on theatre commands and assured resolution in the national interest, with the next Ran Samvad slated for May 2026 at the Air Force Training Command in Agra.
