The Indian Army is in the middle of a massive transformation taking advantage of world’s most sophisticated computer science expertise and growing Aerospace superiority of India. Soon Chinese military will be in a panic mode looking at the sophistication and technical advance of the Indian Army.

General Deepak Kapoor took over as the 23rd Chief of the Army Staff in India promising fast transformation into a technically advanced force that the world will respect.

India will dominate the air. India will use the space to fight the next war. The adversaries will be brought to their knees in hours instead of months.

India will compete with its technological advances with militaries from Western Europe, Russia and America.

"My top priority would be to step up the pace of modernization," Kapoor said in his first order of the day to officers and all ranks of the army.

Asserting that cutting age technology would be given to soldiers, for both policing the borders and countering internal unrest, Kapoor said soon after taking over from Gen J J Singh.

"I feel immense pride and humility," Kapoor said to be tasked to lead the world's most professional and second biggest army.

His comments assume significance as the Indian army is upgrading its weaponry giving more advanced weapons to all its three wings -- Infantry, Armour and Artillery.

In recent years, the army has seen induction of sophisticated and long-range nuclear capable surface-to-surface missiles, supersonic cruise missiles, longer-range multi barrel rocket system; new frontline tanks and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

"On taking over, I vow," the new army chief said to uphold the unparalleled professional standards of valor and unstinted loyalty of the army to the national tri-color.

Though as per traditions, Kapoor took over today, the new army chief will go through the formalities of paying homage at martyr's memorial at India gate and inspect a guard of honor at South Block tomorrow.
