NEW DELHI: Unconventional tools including information warfare, artificial intelligence (AI)-based warfare, proxy warfare, electro-magnetic warfare, space warfare and cyber-attacks pose a big challenge in today's times, defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday while addressing officers at the Army War College in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh.

"Today, conflicts are on in many places in the world. Also, the possibility of conflict is being seen in many new places. There is an atmosphere of uncertainty all around. Big dynamic changes are taking place in international relations too. Radical changes are being seen in the methods of warfare as well," he said.

The defence minister highlighted the need for the armed forces to remain well-trained and equipped to deal with such challenges in the context of prevailing global uncertainty, while lauding the contribution of the training centres in Mhow in this direction.
