"We are looking at the LCA Mk2 and have also invested in the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, which represents the future of indigenous combat platforms. However, these projects will take time to mature. In the immediate future, we need to bridge the capability gap." -Air Marshal Awadhesh Bharti

UPDATE: #IndianArmy to host #UN Troop Contributor Chiefs' Conclave in Oct 2025. Pakistan & China are not invited.

The 4-day event includes firepower demo at #Pokhran.
India is 3rd largest UN #peacekeeper contributor - 200k+ troops in 49 missions since 1950

#US & #France are preparing for a second joint military satellite exercise to counter China's increasing presence in space. This is the #Pentagon’s third allied mission after recent US-UK operations. The new space race focuses on protecting communications, intelligence, & #GPS.

India is driving significant military #integration. This includes
-joint training,
-standardized equipment,
-cross-postings
before the introduction of #TheatreCommands. Tri-service Education Corps and joint stations in Trivandrum, Vizag, and Gandhinagar have been announced.

UPDATE: Future #Zorawar light tanks to get indigenous 800HP engine. #DRDO-CVRDE & #AshokLeyland made engines will replace US Cummins engines, ending foreign dependency for critical tank components. 300-400 tanks planned by 2027.

DRDO is set to test “Dhvani,” an #HGV, by late 2025. HGVs can reach speeds over Mach 5 and perform sharp end-game manoeuvres. This ability enables them to evade air defences, providing India with a reliable next-generation strategic strike option alongside missiles and air power.

UPDATE: HAL successfully tested #Tejas Mk-1A with #Astra BVR & #ASRAAM missiles, proving it can handle short and long-range combat. It’s moving closer to deployment, paving the way for more advanced missiles.

If Pakistan dares to act in Sir Creek Sector, the reply will be so strong that it will change both history & geography. In 1965, the Indian Army showed courage by reaching Lahore & in 2025 Pakistan must remember that the road to Karachi passes through Creek.”- RM Rajnath Singh.

Taiwan eyes Rafale jets to replace Mirage 2000s, joining India to pose a "double Rafale threat" to China. Dassault's CEO confirms Taiwan's interest, as tensions rise with the J-20. A significant change in Indo-Pacific air power is on the horizon.

THREAD🧵: Pakistan tested the Fatah-4 cruise missile on September 30, 2025. They claimed it has a 750km range, flies close to the ground at 50m altitude, and can evade India's S-400 systems. But does it really pose a threat?
#Fatah4 #IndiaDefense #IAF #BrahMos #S400 #Barak8

Fatah-4 Specifications:
- Range: 750km
- Speed: Mach 0.7 (865 km/h) - SUBSONIC
- Weight: 1,530kg
- Warhead: 330kg (conventional)
- Accuracy: CEP 4-5 meters
- Flight profile: Terrain-hugging (50m altitude)
Key limitation: Its subsonic speed makes it vulnerable.

India’s layered defence includes:
- S-400 provides wide-area coverage, can intercept cruise missiles at 40km.
- Barak-8 class interceptors cover around 70-100 km and are designed for cruise threats.
- Akash variants add 45-70 km range, proven against subsonic threats.
