Modi government at 11: Operation Sindoor a success, but defence budget needs to go up

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 11 June 2025 ()

The focus should be on self-reliance in military R&D, unmanned systems, and long-range weaponry. Bolstering conventional and nuclear deterrence is crucial to counter China's strategic threat and Pakistan's proxy role.
