New Delhi: The Indian Army on Friday (July 2, 2021) inducted 12 indigenous bridges to enhance the capabilities of tanks and armoured fighting vehicles on the western front with Pakistan.
The 12 Short Span Bridging System (SSBS) have been designed and developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). They were inducted into the Indian Army by Chief of the Army Staff General MM Naravane during a ceremony held at Cariappa Parade Ground at Delhi Cantt. The bridges induction will increase the capability of the Indian army. We had a five-metre and 15-meter span bridge but 10 meters was always needed. This will fulfil the gap. This will enhance the mechanised formation in western front capability and operation speed will also increase, said General MM Naravane.

NEW DELHI: There has been “little or no” infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) after India and Pakistan agreed to observe a fresh border ceasefire in February, which has led to a significant decline in violence in J&K, General M M Naravane said Thursday.
“But there will always be some inimical elements who will try to sabotage peace and development. We will have to cater for that,” the Army chief said at a virtual seminar.
The statement comes in the backdrop of lack of clarity over whether the drones used in the recent Jammu terror attack were flown from across the international border or from the vicinity of the air force station itself by Pakistan-supported terror outfits like LeT or JeM.
