Quantum physics explains how matter and energy behave at the smallest level, including atoms, electrons, photons and subatomic particles. Its core ideas include superposition, where particles exist in multiple states at once and entanglement, where distant particles remain linked.

In a statement, the Ministry of Defence mentioned, “Loiter Munition will be used for precision strike of tactical targets, whereas low-level lightweight radars will detect and track small-sized, low-flying unmanned aerial systems

While the Typhoon offers world-class capability, it also demands major investment in supporting infrastructure, including simulators, new maintenance facilities, spares pipelines and extensive pilot training.

China has created a hypersonic missile, YKJ-1000, that uses a cement coating in its heat-resistant coating. This, coupled with some other changes, means it is available at a dirt-cheap price. The missile has a range of 1,300 kilometres, and smaller nations might be eager to get it.

Earlier in 2025, during a transit near a busy maritime route (near the Suez Canal), the Truman collided with a merchant vessel. The investigation found the collision was caused by navigational errors, excessive speed, and insufficient safety protocols.
