Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said India is now operating in the “fifth generation of warfare,” where technology, artificial intelligence, drones, cyber capabilities and information systems are increasingly shaping military operations. Speaking at the NDTV Defence Summit 2026, Singh highlighted the changing nature of conflict and the need for India to strengthen its technological and defence capabilities. The summit brought together senior military leaders, policymakers and defence-industry representatives to discuss military preparedness, strategic autonomy and emerging technologies. Discussions also focused on AI, space, fifth-generation technologies, defence manufacturing and strategic partnerships as India adapts to an increasingly technology-driven security environment.
