| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Another eventful year is coming to an end and this time there is a lot to be cheerful about. For the defence and the paramilitary forces, the year 2013 has been fruitful in terms of their force modernisation. Even the defence industry managed to find satisfaction in some of the advances made in the long and tedious defence procurement.
On the other hand, instances of infiltration, cross border firing and border incursion from neighbouring armies cast a pall of gloom in an otherwise successful year. In addition, there were tragic and extremely challenging situations which the government and the forces faced, such as the devastating floods in Uttarakhand, INS Sindhurakshak mishap and so on. But overall, it has been an eventful year. Let's look at the major events in Indian defence in 2013. |
