The Army is constantly evolving to extend and strengthen its capabilities. Battlefield superiority is maintained through the use of cutting-edge rifles, machine guns, anti-tank weapons and missile systems, supported by heavy artillery, tanks, helicopters, unmanned aircraft and armoured vehicles.
Superiority in the air
The Navy and Army utilise state-of-the-art multi-purpose helicopters in roles ranging from troop transport to search and rescue and combat support. For world-class strike capability, mobility and surveillance, the Air Force operates a fleet of highly sophisticated fixed-wing aircraft.
