India's Defence Minister today said that India is well prepared to defend itself in the face of a war with any enemy. Defence Minister A. K. Antony said this on Tuesday and dismissed all rumours & reports about shortage of ammunition for the armed forces.
The Defence Minister was asked about reports that a parliamentary panel was informed by senior IAF and Army officers that stocks of certain types of tank munitions were down to four days of reserves. This follows the leaked letter army chief Gen V. K. Singh wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, referring to serious gaps in India's defence preparedness.
The defence minister was quick to deny any gaps in the preparedness of the armed forces. He said, "I can assure that India is fully prepared. On the whole, the Indian armed forces are better prepared to face challenges.".
