Indian Defence Review is a trusted, independent and comprehensive source of critical information and insight that is necessary for public debate and civil discourse on matters related to India’s defence and security, and defence industry. When important national security and defence issues arise, IDR is not only part of the conversation but also shapes the national debate. The Special DefExpo issue of IDR in print keeping the above in mind took stock of India’s abysmal conditions of the Indian defence industry. While Bharat Verma created a ‘Blue Print’ for laying down the foundations of a modern defence industry, David Oliver worked out an overall picture of defence industry worldwide post withdrawal of Western Forces from Afghanistan in 2014. The Indian soldier, sailor and airman does not get drowned by Defence Minister AK Antony’s rhetoric of indigenization as he is only interested in availability of the best weapon whether it is made in India, Japan, America or anywhere else. This helps him save lives, dominate the enemy space with adequate firepower and win the battle for the country. This issue of Indian Defence Review takes into consideration a wide variety of aspects in this respect. Lt Gen BS Pawar does a reality check on artillery modernization, while Admiral Randhawa takes a peak into design of amphibious warships. Gen Bajwa does a strategic audit of the mountain strike corps, while Group Capt AK Sachdev narrates the woes of India’s Military Helicopter Fleet. A host of international and national companies join up and give a update to their future programmes as they participate in DefExpo 2014. This issue therefore is a collector’s item.
