The focus for the September issue of Geopolitics is on Artillery Power. Today, India has made commendable progress in every aspect of indigenous development, manufacture and testing of various ingredients needed for the total self reliance in the field of Artillery. The Indian Army is in the process of acquiring sophisticated but deadly Dhanush that will provide the punch that matters in the fire power. The issue also covers many important issues such as the need for India having a Chief of Defence Staff, the restructuring of the manpower in the Army, the importance of giving missile defence cover to leading Indian cities, and the the Navy having adequate numbers of submarines for ensuring stability in the Indian Ocean. Geopolitics also looks at the course of India-Pakistan relations now that Pakistan has a new Prime Minister in Cricket-legend Imran Khan.

The Punch That Matters

September 28 is a significant day for the Regiment of Artillery: it was on this day in 1827 that the first Indian artillery unit, 5 (Bombay) Mountain Battery, equipped with 2.5-inch RML gun – was raised. Today, India has made commendable progress in every aspect of indigenous development, manufacture and testing of various ingredients needed for total self-reliance in the field of Artillery – not just guns and howitzers but rockets and rocket launchers, surface-to-surface missiles, weapon locating radars for fire correction as well as detecting locations of enemy’s firing positions, command and control systems enabling network-centric capabilities, secure communication and so on.
