The participants also talked about various system solutions for precision engagement while analysing the Indian capabilities in precision attack and targeting. According to Sudhir, “Collateral damage is not acceptable today specially at a time when all future battles are being fought under media glare. Precision systems also ensure that strategic targets are neutralised at early stages of the war with limited Air Superiority.”
