India has a very strong defense. Our armed forces Army, Navy and Air Force have together contributed to make India a prosperous nation.

Indian Navy is safeguarding our national borders and operating not just above but on and below the water surfaces of India. It owns the cruise missile, named as Brahmos, considered to be one of the fastest missile on earth.
