In the shadows of escalating global tensions and shifting power balances in Asia, India has quietly but effectively continued enhancing its defense capabilities. After the successful deployment of the BrahMos missiles, India has now developed another powerful piece of artillery: the 155 mm artillery shell, a development that is reportedly causing unease across borders — especially in Pakistan and China.

The new artillery shell offers greater precision, range, and destructive capability, enhancing India’s firepower on the battlefield significantly. While military experts see this as a natural progression in India's defense preparedness, others raise concerns about escalating an already delicate regional balance.

On one hand, self-reliant advancements in defense are essential for a sovereign nation facing multiple security challenges. On the other, such developments may be perceived as provocations by neighboring nations and could lead to an arms race in the region.

But the bigger question is — how do citizens perceive this? Does increased firepower make a country safer, or just draw more attention and tension from adversaries?

Let’s open the floor.
