In these uncertain times, the urgency of reducing reliance on imported military hardware and diversifying the defence inventory of India is the need of the hour. [...] Despite the NATO and Western countries providing weapons to Ukraine, the scarcity of ammunition has been a cause of concern as the weapons and ammunition took considerable time to reach Ukraine due to delays in transportation. [...] Global trade has been impacted because of the sanctions on Russia, resulting in impacting and affecting the important transport links between Russia and Ukraine and the rest of the world. [...] A strong and well-planned defence system will also help to counter the opportunities of an adversary to settle political or other issues by the use of force because of the military weaknesses of the unstable country.
