After the success of Operation Sindoor, many people questioned why India’s actions against Pakistan lasted only four days during the May conflict. Head of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi addressed the long-standing inquiry on Tuesday, pointing out that “most of us said, why is it already in a four-day test match?” While talking during the 52nd National Management Convention of Aima on Tuesday, the Army Chief Gen. Upendra Dwivededi said the armed forces were “not sure how many days it would remain, and most of us said: Why is it done in a four -day test match?” He further explained what it takes to maintain the war for a longer period. He said there are three aspects: power visualization, power protection and power application. “The power visualization, which was done in the Russia-Ukraine War, was a wrong calculation … We need to understand what technology is available on the other hand to maintain the war for a longer period,” the Army Head Gen Upendra Dwivedi said. “That means we have to make sure we have enough to expensive for a longer war,” he said. He further emphasizes the relevance of the ‘David and Goliat system’ in modern warfare, which means ‘low-cost, high-tech’. “If you have a low cost, high-tech, you will also be able to strike an excellent adversary,” he said. He explained that protection is a ‘new thing, because you have to take on the enemy barrage, and then you must be able to perform the actions to be done.’ “So these three, what I look at, are the most important thing to practice,” the army chief said. “Now, all this is just feasible because you will find that all these three can only be connected by communication and cyber. These two things are something that plays a constant role in the full thing,” Gen Upendra Dwivedi said. ‘Goal posts will continue to change’ He marks the rapid rate of technological advances in warfare. ‘… the goal posts will continue to change. If I want something to shoot at 100 kilometers, it should go up to 300 kilometers tomorrow. ‘ “Because it’s not just me, it’s also the adversary to improve his technology. As his technology improves, I have to make sure my technological level is ready to defeat his technological impact. Here atmanirbharta becomes important …” he said. Operation Sindoor India launched Operation Sindoor early on May 7, including the armed forces multiple terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied cashmir, in retaliation for the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22. days.
