| Summary/Abstract |
Since its conceptualisation defence diplomacy is yet to evolve a universal model applicable to all countries as the problems and resources of nations are not uniform But it is a potential tool for reducing armed conflict specifically in the Indian context . India has preferred diplomacy to war in resolving some of the burning issues that impair its security. Involving the defence sector has been within the democratic framework of civilian control. Moreover, Indian ancient literature is replete with the art of kingship and conduct of relationship with other countries. Of specific importance is the Arthashastra which underscores diplomacy in building alliances to prevent the enemy from achieving its goal.

| Summary/Abstract |
Defence diplomacy has flourished in the post-World War II global system, but it must be complemented and strengthened with skills in order to achieve complete national power. Joint military exercises are critical for Indian military reform, and the US became interested in jointness after studying the 1990s. Allies are interested in engaging in military diplomacy because of India’s expansion, and India and Japan are partnering to improve cooperation in maritime security and EDR peacekeeping missions. Malabar Exercise 2020, the 24th iteration, was a success, displaying India’s capabilities in testing and bringing together military troops from diverse countries. Military diplomacy is a kind of foreign policy that involves the apparent use of force to achieve a state’s foreign policy objectives, such as naval diplomacy and military visits to other nations. Military diplomacy is an oxymoron since it employs force to further national objectives, while diplomacy is meant to use the tool of dialogue. India is a military force on its way to become a global organisation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Armed forces need to understand the evolution of warfare in the 21st century to keep themselves in readiness. Mentally military and political leaders should be ready to understand and absorb the dynamics of warfare. In this respect, future operations are likely to be carried out in battlefields exposed to the influence of directed energy. Autonomous and automated weapons will become the key elements of military operations. Modern weapons will become increasingly network centric, asymmetric hybrid systems.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian defence sector has experienced considerable growth in recent years due to an increase in indigenous production and export promotions. Recently, India held a “Defense Expo” to showcase its Atmanirbharta in the defence sector. Indigenization in the defence sector would capitalise on India’s strategic autonomy principles in a world order in transition. This article seeks to analyse India’s defence production model in light of current changes such as private sector investments and innovations. In addition, the article will examine the challenges surrounding India’s self-reliance paradigm. The article will conclude by highlighting the indigenization priority areas applicable to India’s defence model.

| Summary/Abstract |
This year, India’s defense diplomacy has ramped up. In 2015 alone there have been 18 military exercises- naval, army and air force- with 13 countries, among the largest engagements the country has had. Most significant is Japan joining the Malabar exercises in the Bay of Bengal and the first-ever maritime exercise with Australia. This is increasing India’s presence from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. As these exercises intensify India will be better positioned to handle regional security challenges.

| Summary/Abstract |
Narendra Modi governments ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives are on test by experts. His main objective is to make India self-reliant in defence production, decrease imports and increase export. India has a troubled neighbourhood posing numerous security challenges. The world is also going through a serious transition at present. India is trying to readjust its strategic equations in this globalised world to protect its national and international interests. With steady economic growth and a large military, empowered with nuclear, India wishes to become a world power. Today India is successfully producing a large quantity of arms for domestic use and international demand. It is now one of the fast-emerging global players in the defence market. But does that mean India has become self-reliant in defence? The article assesses it from three parameters—indigenous arms production, military or non-military threats and military modernisation & arms export.

India-Israel bilateral relations are on a strong footing, with strengthened cooperation in the defence sector, apart from robust people-to-people links. The changing global order, regional, domestic and geo-strategic environment compelled New Delhi to establish diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv since January 1992. For Israel, this global situation was exacerbated by its geographical location, constant isolation, and ongoing conflict over its very existence. Based on a broad convergence of security, geopolitical and economic interests, this evolving partnership represents Delhi’s Israel policy as a more pragmatic and realistic. This article analyses the close and intensifying Indian-Israeli relationship is guided by both its interests in the Arab world and ideological considerations and this close relationship shows a good measure of pragmatism with mutually-beneficial cooperation superseding ideological considerations.

| Summary/Abstract |
Post 1970, India’s commitment towards self-reliant navy is accelerating with a certain pace. Indian Commitment towards 100 per cent indigenisation by 2047 is a welcome step towards national power projection. According to IN reports, out of forty-one ships on order, thirty-nine are being built in India, and include advanced and complex platforms such as an aircraft carrier, and submarines and destroyers. While considerable progress has been made in indigenous shipbuilding, in certain specific areas, where domestic industry has not developed adequate capacity for meeting naval requirements within the timelines required, the IN continues to seek foreign acquisition of ships. Nevertheless, over the years, the IN has steadily evolved from a Buyers’ Navy to a Builders’ Navy focussed on evolving a force structure corresponding to the geopolitical and economic aspirations of the nation, within the scope of funding and indigenous shipbuilding capacity.

The introduction of drones adds a new dimension to how the war is being fought nowadays. Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) commonly referred to as drones have become the weapon of choice in modern warfare with state and non-state entities employing them to gain an upper hand over their immediate adversaries. The widespread of drones in modern warfare has gained a new dynamic and volatility as result of increased use and improved accessibility.Drones have evolved into an indispensable component of today’s military. This is because unmanned aircraft are a less expensive and safer alternative to human aircraft, and they may be used to gather intelligence and carry out targeted assaults. The recent conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war have seen extensive use of combat drones and drone swarms.

Russian-Indian ties have been re-balanced. That was to be expected, given both nations’ drastically altered circumstances and geopolitical goals. Russia, long the leading supplier of armaments to India’s military, is already experiencing competition in this market, owing to India’s resolve to diversifying its sources of supply and other exporters’ desire for lucrative arms agreements. Russian arms makers will face competition from technologically superior suppliers such as France, Israel, and the United States, as well as India’s own defence sector, all while remaining subject to harsh western sanctions.This article aims to analyse the future of India-Russia defence ties and identify potential barriers.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to the economic impact of the pandemic to increase domestic production and reduce dependence on imports. It aims to build a technology-driven economy, build state-of-the-art infrastructure, and harness the power of the country’s demographic structure to drive economic growth. The defense industry is an important sector with significant growth potential, creating job opportunities and reducing the burden of imports. The Ministry of Defense (MoD) has taken steps to advance the “Make in India” agenda in the field of defense production, such as increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic capital acquisition. The Defense Procurement Procedure (DPP) 2016 has been updated as the Defense Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020, and India’s involvement in the Indo-Pacific region has expanded significantly.

| Summary/Abstract |
This does not mean that Indo-Russian defense ties were free of blemishes. First, there were nagging delivery delays all through and in all defense deals from the Nehru years till today. Second, Russian weapons in general, and military hardware in particular, are heavy and metal consuming thereby implying a higher life cycle cost for the buyer7 If you take upfront cost, Russian weapons are cheaper. However, if you take the life cycle cost of its maintenance, they become costlier compared to similar weapons produced by western countries.
