Navy chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi NEW DELHI: Stressing the need for stronger industrial preparedness for modern warfare, Navy chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi on Friday said recent global conflicts have challenged the long-held assumption that wars would be short and decisive, highlighting the urgent need for nations to build resilient defence industrial capacities.Speaking during a session at the ongoing Raisina Dialogue 2026 in Delhi, the Admiral said developments over the past few years have underlined the importance of sustained military readiness, technological adaptability and large-scale defence production. “There is obviously a thought process that the post-Cold War peace dividend has certainly ended. Therefore, countries must be ready for their own national security, and that requires building their own defence industrial complexes,” Admiral Tripathi said.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: ‘Indian navy’s guest struck without warning’: Iran slams US after torpedo sinks warship IRIS Dena50 Israeli jets strike, destroy Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker; IDF shares videoRussia helping Iran?
