00:00Many indigenous technologies have been used in this war, and the war has been an Atmanirbhar-based warfare.
00:09The anti-drone system, which has been developed both by DRDO and industry, have also been very successfully used.
00:18Particularly, the BrahMos missile, which is a supersonic cruise missile, has been used as a very effective weapon, as what we see today.
00:31BrahMos is a very accurate weapon, a very reliable weapon.
00:36All these systems have been developed indigenously.
00:39The role of BrahMos is very important.
00:42And that's why I think today, Honorable Raksha Mantri Rajana Singhji has inaugurated a facility in Lucknow to produce 100 to 150 missiles of BrahMos every year.
00:59The scientists of DRDO are very proud that many systems developed by them have been very effectively used.
01:08This particular conflict is different that it's technology-based and more like air warfare.
01:22Missiles, UAVs, drones, and air defense systems, and aircrafts.
01:31This is the area in which the war took place.
01:38For us, many indigenous technologies have been used in this war, and the war has been an Atmanirbhar-based warfare.
01:55Akash missile has been used as per the media reports, and has been very successful.
02:01Akash missile, a missile, a missile, a missile which has been developed for the air defense applications.
02:08Also, heard, medium-range surface-to-air missile has been used again against the incoming aerial targets.
02:17The anti-drone system, which has been developed, both by DRDO and industry, have also been very successfully used, as there were a huge number of drones that were coming in.
02:34That's what we see in the media, and the videos.
02:38And they all have been neutralized with the technologies that have been developed.
02:45Particularly, the BrahMos missile, which is a supersonic cruise missile, has been used as a very effective weapon, as what we see today.
02:57In fact, parts of the BrahMos also, which have come up in the media today.
03:04BrahMos is a very accurate weapon, a very reliable weapon.
03:09All these systems have been developed indigenously, and so the armed forces are well trained on this, during the development phase,
03:19and then later, during the trials, and also in their exercises.
03:25They could use it very effectively.
03:29And this is the first time that so many indigenous weapons,
03:35along with the radars,
03:38and drones, along with the payloads developed by many start-ups,
03:41have been used extensively.
03:44The role of BrahMos is very important.
03:52And that's why,
03:54I think today,
03:55Honorable Raksha Mantri Sri Rajana Singh Ji,
03:59has inaugurated a facility in Lucknow,
04:02to produce 100 to 150 missiles of BrahMos,
04:06every year.
04:08So,
04:10the country,
04:12is,
04:13day by day improving its
04:16position in advanced technologies of defense,
04:20and producing them large number through industry.
04:24I like to congratulate
04:25the start-ups,
04:28and industries,
04:29who have come up with many technologies,
04:32and who have been very ready,
04:33every day,
04:34looking for an opportunity to send it to the border.
04:38The scientists of DRDO are very proud,
04:41that many systems developed by them,
04:45have been very effectively used.
04:48As a whole,
04:49the nation is proud of all these achievements of India,
04:53standing tall,
04:54along with the advanced nations,
04:56using all these technologies,
04:59very effectively,
05:00neutralizing all the targets,
05:02from the enemy,
05:03very effectively.
05:04Yahin.
05:06Yahin.
05:06Okay.
