The modern battlefield is evolving rapidly, with new technologies and precision strike capabilities emerging to counter threats from airborne sources such as drones and loitering ammunition. The Indian armed forces have been quick to adapt to these changes, recognizing the need for enhanced capacities and capabilities to deter China's aggressive behavior along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

As a result, regiments are being equipped with advanced systems, including swarming drones, loitering ammunition, beyond-line-of-sight guided missiles, and systems to detect and neutralize enemy drones. Additionally, the Army is fielding swifter and more powerful tanks, specialized high-altitude tanks, new generation armoured vehicles, missile launchers, and better anti-tank guided munitions (ATGM).

The stand-off with China has forced a major transformation of the Armoured Corps and Mechanised Infantry, with fresh inductions being made to address the evolving threats on the northern borders. For years, regiments of BMPs and tanks have been positioned on the plateau of eastern Ladakh and northern Sikkim, with hundreds of tanks and infantry combat vehicles - colloquially known as 'BMP' - being moved from the plains to the LAC.

In response to these changes, the 1 Strike Corps of the Indian Army has been tasked with defending the LAC. Headquartered at Mathura and tasked westwards, this corps is well-equipped to counter any airborne threats that may emerge during a conflict. The infusion of greater technology and precision strike capability will keep the armoured and mechanised forces relevant as new threats arise.

Former Director General Military Operations (DGMO), Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia (retd), emphasizes the importance of these developments, stating, 'The Indian armed forces have built requisite capabilities and enhanced capacities to deter China's aggressive behaviour along the LAC.' These efforts will ensure that the Army remains a formidable force on the modern battlefield.
