As part of Session 1 of #RanSamwad2026 themed as 'Evolution of MDO & Global Trends'', Air Marshal Tejinder Singh, AOC-in-C, SWAC highlighted that #MDO isn’t just new jargon but it’s the new normal. He opined that today’s battlefield spans land, sea, air, space, cyber and the cognitive domains. He also emphasised that victory depends on integrating kinetic and non-kinetic effects with speed. Lessons from recent conflicts point towards the fact that information superiority added with decision dominance matter as much as firepower. #RanSamwad2026 #MDO #GlobalTrend @DefenceMinIndia @SethSanjayMP @SpokespersonMoD @tracomiaf
