Chief of defence staff General Anil Chauhan on Friday said that self-reliance in defence manufacturing was one of the biggest lessons for India from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the three services will have to be the driving force for the campaign to succeed.
He also said the Russia-Ukraine war was reminiscent of World War I era trench warfare, and the conflict had entered a stage where the front-lines were hardly moving and even a three-km advance was being claimed as a success by the Russians, a reference to the fighting in Bakhmut.
