This goes way beyond India. Australia, Canada, and nearly the entire West are struggling to look beyond conventional warfare. Countries that are spending fortunes on large warships today may be investing heavily in something increasingly risky. I believe smaller vessels with hybrid propulsion and three times the range will gain significant ground, while affordable solid-state battery-powered submarines and UUVs are poised to dominate naval warfare. We are already heading toward a future where autonomous drones will operate in the skies, going far beyond reconnaissance. They will engage in high-altitude air combat, striking fighter jets from above with missiles that have significantly longer ranges than those available today. We are witnessing the emergence of a entirely new kind of warfare, but most countries have not yet realized it. They are still trapped in old, conventional thinking.
