    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    These are conventionally-armed weapons. The political will required to use them is at the same level as was needed to use Mirage-2000s in Balakot. The whole point is to give ourselves more conventional options without needing to escalate to the nuclear level. 500km is pretty good. Pralay is...

    Israel Eros-C3 Israeli third generation observation satellite launched into space

    Something doesn't add up. India's CARTOSAT-3 launched back in 2019 had a panchromatic resolution of 0.25m (lower is better). I'm of the opinion that Israeli optics & electro-optic processing tech is ahead of India's. There's something they're not telling us here...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    More like the counterpart to ATACMS or the upcoming PrSM. Prahaar would be more akin to Nasr - but IA is not interested in a BM for that kind of application. For such short ranges, they prefer Rocket Artillery.

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    With the acquisition of Deep-Penetration Strike Aircraft (DPSAs) like Rafale in the originally required numbers (126-189) being difficult, the advent of Rocket Forces equipped with missiles like these was an inevitability. The plan here is to retain a more or less similar over-the-horizon...

    Japan Japanese MoD Releases Further Details About Its Future BMD Destroyers

    80 VLS is very tame for a 20,000 ton ship. There's something they're not telling us.

    No, the Leander influence ended with the Brahmaputra-class. Shivalik onwards are an all-new design. Fincantieri was a consultant for design validation.

    The missile launchers on INS Anvesh...these are huge. Even ballistic missiles like Pralay SRBM can be launched from these.

    Simply put, no. To be an ally, at some level you have to become subservient to the US strategically. This will not be acceptable to India, and not doing it won't be acceptable to the US. However, this doesn't mean that there can't or won't be a strategic convergence of interests, which is what...

    Washington, Dec 9 (PTI) India, which has a unique strategic character, will not be an ally of the US, but another great power, a top White House official has said, asserting there is no other bilateral relationship that is being “deepened and strengthened” more rapidly than between the two...
