"Biggest lesson is we have to be ready to fight future wars with indigenous weapons. Steps towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat in defence have to be taken more urgently. Wars of future should be fought with own weapon systems," the Army Chief said.
"There are many lessons that can be learnt from the ongoing Ukraine-Russian war. The crisis shows that wars can happen any time and we have to remain prepared for them. The wars wouldn't just be non-kinetic and would be fought in physical domain also," he said.
