Good details here. https://epaper.timesgroup.com/Olive/ODN/TheEconomicTimes/shared/ShowArticle.aspx?doc=ETD%2F2021%2F10%2F27&entity=Ar02006&sk=7463968E&mode=text# 1) Space 2) Cyber 3) Special Ops

Bitter truth IMO.

[I have not watched the video yet, but] I take any "Ekla chalo re" rhetoric as complete BS in reality, we need allies for sure to face any major military flareup: 1) Most of our military equipment is foreign origin and needs constant support, and this is not going to change for a very long time...

Remember seeing a "Wolfpack" alert a few days ago stating that Japan is going to increase it’s defence budget by 50%, with out any source of course. Now I see this (article is paywalled, I don't have access) - it looks mostly flat for the next decade. 🤷‍♀️

They ARE a colony of UK (and more recently US) by design. The British monarch is the head of the state (they have QE's image in their currency) and post world war 2 they have taken part of every major US mil intervention, become part of five eyes etc. IMO this event mainly signifies the...

Anyways, couple of predictions from my side on the next few years is: UK will permanently station one of its 2 carriers (which they are currently finding unaffordable to fully man and deploy) to Australia, possibly under AU command and jointly manned by AU, UK and USN/Marines. Australia will...

Good that people are finally realising that not only will will this affect China, but it will also result in erosion of our own relative military power. But there is still some cringe worthy reactions amongst interwebs defence chatterati: 1) US, UK and Australia have shown they are not...

3 out of the 4 programs mentioned were not initiated by baba ji but legacy of previous UPA (or you could even argue NDA 1.0), What he should really be judged by is follow on SSK program, indigenous SSN program, LHD ship, follow on aircraft carrier programme. Counting major naval programs IIRC...

Where are our resident French posters, I was looking forward to posting this meme 😁? First loosing the Swiss fighter contest to F-35 and now this!

Some insight into how quickly the decision was made, Australia approached UK just earlier this year. On the question about how much money they will spend on defence, Australia PM: “whatever it takes.”

There is nothing to leverage, we have not shown the capacity to spend money required. Our MoD will get a cardiac arrest if they are shown a 60 billion USD bill for a weapons deal. But I have to admit that seeing the French getting kicked in the nuts was very satisfying, they were pompously...

One hopes so, but he is once of the well informed journalists in the area. And it would be par for the course from our defence decision makers - our conventional sub fleet has already been effed up, with our sub fleet expected to dwindle down to the same/similar number as the Paxis. At the end...

As per reports they will likely get updated Astute class subs with some American systems + likely some amount of it being built in Australia. What Sandeep Unnithan is saying is that we have paused our own indigenous SSN program because of cost, but instead going to give $3B or so to the Russians...

Make all the fun you want to about them, but looks like the US/UK is going to give the Australians state of the art nuclear subs while we spend the little coin we have on the Russian refurbished junk.
