Observing that India has shown its strength in the design, development and operation of helicopters in the five tonne category, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said in order to become a global leader there is a need to progress in the design of 10 tonne Indian multi-role helicopter.
Further, aggression of any type has never been there in the history of India and in the last few years, the relation among peace, security and military power have deepened, he said.
“When I am talking about making oneself strong, I don’t mean establishing our dominance in the world. India has been such a country, if it has carried arms, then it is for protecting the ‘shastras’.
