Akash, Bofors: Foods named after the weapons used in Operation Sindoor were served during Vijay Diwas.

At the Army Headquarters in Delhi, Vijay Diwas was observed to honor the success of Operation Sindoor. Sinduri Sandesh, Akash, Bofors, and the L-70 air defense gun were among the weapons used in the battle that inspired the preparation of a number of dishes. During Operation Sindoor, these weapons not only helped drive back the Pakistani forces, but they also made the Pakistani army extremely fearful. For this reason, a Pakistani Turkish drone was also on display at the location as a war trophy.

On the eve of "Vijay Diwas" on Monday, the Indian Army displayed a variety of domestically developed technologies in Delhi, ranging from different AI-based platforms to a drone analysis system that analyzes recovered drones to extract valuable information.

According to officials, Army Chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi hosted a "At Home" event at the Army House, which President Droupadi Murmu attended. The defense ministry described the event as a "impressive showcase of indigenously developed technologies and niche capabilities, reflecting Indian Army's steady transformation into a modern, innovative and self-reliant force."

On December 16, people celebrate "Vijay Diwas," which commemorates India's victory in the 1971 India-Pakistan War. According to a statement from the ministry, the display demonstrated how Indian soldiers, engineers, startups, and academic institutions are collaborating to create solutions that enhance national security while also providing significant advantages for infrastructure development, disaster response, and sustainability.

India's "expanding global defence engagement" and the "growing international confidence in the nation's homegrown military technologies" were highlighted by the large number of guests, which included 73 ambassadors and high commissioners along with athletes, achievers from a variety of fields, and senior Indian leadership.

The Army also showcased a small, portable AI system that can operate in places without network or internet connectivity.

This "AI-in-a-Box" enables users to independently plan tasks, analyze data, and get decision support. The system guarantees that technology "remains available even in remote locations" because it is designed to function in challenging circumstances, according to the statement.

The Indian Army's continuous evolution, "driven by Indian minds, Indian industry, and Indian values," is reflected in the "At Home" display. The Army is enhancing national security and making a significant contribution to disaster response, sustainability, and self-reliance by fusing operational experience with innovation, it continued.
