The Indian Army's ‘Prachand Shakti’ military drill was held in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, by the Ram Division under the Kharga Corps. This high-tech demonstration focused on integrating advanced technologies like drones, AI-enabled systems, and loitering munitions into battlefield operations. The exercise aimed to showcase how these innovations can enhance infantry performance in strike operations, making soldiers more agile and resilient. As part of the Army’s ‘Year of Tech Absorption’ initiative, this event also emphasised the importance of indigenous defence technologies and reducing dependency on foreign equipment to strengthen national security and operational readiness.
