🇺🇸 Some personal news. I've had the privilege of serving as defence editor at The Economist for eight years, through the Afghan withdrawal, invasion of Ukraine & Mid East wars. This summer I'm moving to DC to take over as our Washington bureau chief. Should be a nice quiet beat.Replying to @shashj @ncbipindra Congratulations Shashank!

Comprehensive article by @dperi84 on India ‘s nuclear submarine capabilities. Agree with the author that we need to expedite our SSN program which is WIP .
