    Defence Q&A Is the US or China the world’s economic superpower?

    I partially agree and disagree. China is a very different case in many respects. The transition is not inevitable or guaranteed...and it will not take on the same hue and form as it has done in other parts of the world (these countries are far younger nation states than China, which is...

    Serco Canada’s Atlas 120 Frigate Receives Approval in Principle

    I think this is just the early design phase so far, looking into Serco's activities. They have probably assembled a team of consultants and naval designers etc. If they prove their mettle in subsequent phases, i.e get an order somewhere (and work out all the production side etc with the...

    India Coffee House
