Indian Army Showcases ‘Prachand Shakti’ in Meerut

Ram Division of the Indian Army held a powerful military demonstration called ‘Prachand Shakti’ at the Kharga Corps Field Training Area in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. The event showcased how modern technology like drones, AI systems, and loitering weapons can improve the strength and speed of the Army’s frontline units.

Modern Warfare on Display

The ‘Prachand Shakti’ demonstration was part of the Army’s effort to adopt disruptive technologies for real battlefield use. It focused on how infantry troops in Strike Corps operations can benefit from tools like,

• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
• AI-enabled combat systems
• Autonomous platforms
• Loitering munitions

These tools are designed to make soldiers more agile, accurate, and safer during deep attacks behind enemy lines.

A Step Towards Technological Self-Reliance

This event is a key part of the Army’s ongoing campaign called the ‘Year of Tech Absorption’. Under this plan, the Army is working to include home-grown and advanced technologies from Indian innovators and companies into its military operations.

An official from the Ministry of Defence said the aim is to reduce dependence on foreign equipment and improve the Army’s future readiness using Indian talent and innovation.

Strengthening Strike Corps Capabilities

The Ram Division, known for its elite role in Strike Corps operations, used this event to test how new technologies can change the way offensive missions are carried out. The idea is to make infantry formations stronger and faster, and able to survive better in high-risk environments.

The demonstration proved that the Indian Army is serious about becoming more tech-driven in the face of new global threats.
