Defence Ministry trying to speed up defence equipment modernisation: Antony


Defence Minister, A.K. Antony said that his ministry was undertaking attempts to speed up the process of upgradation of defence equipment of the country, though it required time.

"These things, you have to follow a procedure also. Even then, we are trying to speed up things," said Antony, while addressing the mediapersons here, where he was present along with Army Chief General V.K Singh to inaugurate a knowledge centre of excellence for soldiers.

He emphasised that there was no need for anyone to be worried about military and modernisation programmes of other countries.

Antony had earlier on Tuesday said that the armed forces would have to tackle an array of challenges, ranging from internal disturbances to militant attacks.

He emphasised on the need for a united stand on such issues, in order to deal with them in an effective manner.
