A new Federation of American Scientists report estimates India’s nuclear arsenal at 190 warheads. Over 160 are operational. New missiles like Agni-Prime and MIRV capable Agni-5 enhance reach. Nuclear submarines patrol with K-4 and K-15 systems. Rafale jets carry nuclear payloads. This video takes a close look at India's modernisation: land, sea, and air.  We explain New Delhi's nuclear strategy: minimal, credible & no first use. Watch to understand how India’s deterrent grows to ensure peace through strength.

Drones are rapidly becoming a cornerstone of India's military strategy. What began as a tool for surveillance and reconnaissance has evolved into a sophisticated ecosystem of strike drones, loitering munitions, AI-powered systems, and autonomous platforms. As modern warfare increasingly shifts from hardware to software, algorithms and data are becoming as critical as tanks and fighter jets. From monitoring borders to conducting precision strikes, drones are redefining how India prepares for future conflicts, making unmanned warfare a key pillar of national defence.


India’s drone revolution: How unmanned warfare is transforming defence

For decades, Japan's postwar identity was defined by pacifism. But growing security challenges in East Asia are driving a dramatic military transformation. Tokyo is investing heavily in drones, advanced missiles, artificial intelligence, and next-generation defense systems as it seeks to strengthen its deterrence capabilities. Supporters argue the shift is necessary in an increasingly volatile region, while critics warn it marks a significant departure from Japan's postwar principles.

Global superpowers are racing into an urgent arms revolution. The Pentagon faces severely depleted crucial weapon stockpiles after sustained conflicts across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. With US President Donald Trump demanding rapid weapons replenishment, American military chiefs have launched an emergency search for new advance weaponry. But again, money is an issue. With military budgets stretched and modern wars requiring massive ammunition, the new mantra is to build, acquire cheaper, precision weapons.

Modern warfare is as much about industrial capacity as battlefield strength. As India pushes for defence self-reliance under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, a critical question emerges: can domestic manufacturers sustain the massive ammunition requirements of a prolonged, high-intensity conflict? From 155mm artillery shells to missiles, drones and spare parts, wartime demand can rapidly outpace peacetime production. India's defence industry has expanded significantly in recent years, but experts say stockpiles, manufacturing capacity and supply chains will determine how long the country can sustain combat operations. This report examines India's readiness for a war of attrition.


Can India's defence industry sustain high-intensity warfare?

India's armed forces are rewiring the battlefield — moving from isolated units to a single connected network. From Akashteer's real-time air picture to tri-service data fusion, cyber warfare and electronic warfare are merging into one unified combat system. This video breaks down how India's Army, Navy, and Air Force are syncing sensors, radars, and AI-driven decisions to build a faster, smarter, and harder-to-beat digital war machine.


India's three services move towards network warfare

Taiwan's opposition-controlled parliament rejected on Thursday a T$210 billion ($6.6 billion) ‌government plan for a special budget to buy new military drones and passed their own plan instead, which sets annual spending at T$40 billion.
The government said its plan, to run until 2031, to buy about 210,000 drones, could not wait, as the wars in Ukraine and Iran ​showed the importance of uncrewed weapons in modern warfare amid a rising threat from China, which sees ​the island as its own territory.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how wars are fought. From autonomous drones and smart missiles to battlefield surveillance and target identification systems, AI is becoming a key part of military operations. The United Nations has warned about the growing use of autonomous weapons in active conflict zones, raising concerns about accountability, ethics and international law. Major powers including the United States, China, Ukraine and India are investing heavily in AI-driven defence technologies. As machines move closer to the kill chain, the world faces a critical question: how much decision-making should be left to algorithms on the battlefield?


AI weapons are changing how targets are found & attacked 

Ukraine is expanding its drone campaign deep inside Russian territory, highlighting how unmanned systems are transforming modern warfare. Long-range drones are increasingly being used to strike military infrastructure, logistics hubs, and strategic targets far from the frontlines, changing the nature of battlefield engagement. The conflict has become a testing ground for next-generation drone tactics, electronic warfare, and precision strikes. As both Kyiv and Moscow invest heavily in drone technology, military analysts say the war is offering a glimpse into the future of global conflict. What does Ukraine’s expanding drone strategy mean for Russia and for warfare worldwide?

India’s defense manufacturing sector is experiencing a historic surge, transforming the nation from one of the world's largest defense importers into a major global defense exporter. Driven by the "Make in India" initiative and self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) policies, advanced indigenous defense systems—ranging from the Tejas fighter jet and Akash missile systems to artillery guns, radar systems, and naval hardware—are rapidly gaining traction among international buyers.
