One of the key lessons from the Russia-Ukraine conflict is that land will continue to be a key domain of warfare, especially when there are contested borders like in the case of India, Army chief General Manoj Pande said on Thursday.
On the situation along the border, General Pande said it was “stable”.
“I believe the victory markers have to be defined in the land domain, and hence the salience of the land domain. That is not to suggest when we look at enhancing our outcomes, through the jointness and integration that we wish to or must achieve with the other services and other stakeholders... it is as important. But, in my view, in terms of salience of land, the land domain is going to be extremely important especially in our case,” General Pande said in a fireside chat with Lieutenant-General Raj Shukla (retd). He was speaking at the curtain-raiser to the inaugural ‘Chanakya Dialogue’ being hosted by the Army, along with the Centre for Land Warfare Studies, next week.
