AMCA- India's first indigenous stealth fighter

Russia always loves big. They have everything in big size. Except one thing 🙁

If there is anything to fear after God, it is Russia’s heavy intercontinental ballistic missile — the RS-28 Sarmat.

Russia has never been known for building small systems, and the Sarmat is no exception. This next-generation ICBM has an estimated range of up to 18,000 km, allowing it to strike targets across the globe. It is capable of carrying either 3 Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) or 10–16 MIRVs, with a total payload capacity of around 10 tonnes.

In practical terms, if the missile carries 16 warheads, each could theoretically have a yield of around 750 kilotons. If configured with a single warhead, the yield could reach up to 20 megatons.
For those who are new to this subject, it is important to understand the scale involved. The nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of approximately 15 kilotons.

To put things into perspective: 1 megaton equals 1,000 kilotons.

Following the operational success of the BrahMos missile during Operation Sindoor, international attention towards this system has grown sharply. During the operation, BrahMos reportedly demonstrated its precision-strike capability by engaging high-value targets, including enemy air bases and command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, underscoring its role as a rapid-response and mission-critical strike asset.

India has already exported BrahMos to the Philippines, which has formally announced plans to acquire additional batteries. Indonesia, closely observing the missile’s real-world performance, has also taken steps towards a significant procurement decision. The combat-proven nature of the system has clearly strengthened its global credibility.
Interest is not limited to Southeast Asia alone.

Several other countries have expressed intent, including Armenia, where such a capability could have a notable impact on regional military equations. With its very high speed, low-altitude sea-skimming profile, and the ability to conduct accurate strikes using INS guidance even in GPS-denied or jammed environments, BrahMos stands out as a technologically mature and reliable missile system. These attributes are increasingly attracting India’s friendly nations seeking robust defensive deterrence options.

Indian Navy to seek Govt approval for five next generation missile destroyers

With China augmenting its naval fleet, the Indian Navy is set to seek the government’s approval to construct at least five next generation guided missile destroyers that will not only pack more firepower but will also carry a host of emerging technologies making them “smart warships”, a top official said here on Thursday.

“We have worked out a good design and hope to receive the AON (acceptance of necessity) approval from the government in this financial year and award the contracts within the next two years,” Vice Chief of the Naval Staff Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan said.

These warships will be significantly more advanced from Visakhapatnam-class destroyers that the Indian Navy operates at the moment.

With a displacement of around 11,000 tonnes, sources said, the new platforms would be larger than Kolkata class and Visakhapatnam class warships. Many emerging technologies that the maritime force is developing will be integrated in these surface combatants.

Vice Admiral Vatsayan said the navy tested some of these smart technologies in a trial platform and further consolidated them for smart ships of the future.

The disclosure from the Navy Vice Chief comes days after China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy gets its third and most advanced aircraft carrier Fujian – the world’s largest non-nuclear military ship – that will be a force multiplier for the world’s largest navy.

According to a new report presented before the US Congress, the PLA Navy’s overall battle force in 2024 included over 370 ships and is projected to increase to 395 ships by 2025 and 435 ships by 2030. In July 2025, the PLAN unveiled a new amphibious assault ship that will be a drone carrier.

China - Pakistan’s biggest arms supplier – is also supplying eight new submarines to the Pakistan Navy and the first one is likely to be commissioned in the first half of 2026.

Asked about the upcoming induction of PNS Hangor, Vice Admiral Vatsayan said, “We are aware that China is supplying ships and submarines to Pakistan. We are monitoring everything closely and working on strengthening the defence. We know what kind of anti-submarine warfare capabilities we need to counter such threats.”

Vice Chief was speaking at a curtain raiser event for Swavlamban 2025 – Indian Navy’s annual conference focussing on innovation and indigenisation efforts. The force has given procurement orders worth Rs 1,400 crores on a few emerging technologies and more such orders are in the works. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will participate in the two day conference next week.

🇮🇳 MDL Expects Major New Projects From the Indian Navy — Big Expansion Ahead

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) has revealed several important updates regarding upcoming surface combatant and submarine programs during its Q2 FY2026 investor call. These projects will form the backbone of the Indian Navy’s next decade of expansion.

♦ Destroyers

MDL confirmed that the Navy is preparing to launch a new destroyer program — either:

• Project-15C (P-15C) or

• Next Generation Destroyer (NGD) / Project-18

• Estimated cost: ₹70,000–80,000 crore ($8–9 billion).

🔹 Project-15C Mentioned for the First Time:
While P-18 NGD has been in development for years, P-15C is a new revelation and could act as an interim class with major tech upgrades over the current P-15B Visakhapatnam-class.

🔹 Why P-15C?
NGD is a clean-sheet, complex design. A follow-on P-15C would help de-risk timelines and induct new technologies faster.

🔹 On India–Japan Joint Destroyer Rumours:
MDL clarified discussions are very early and no MoU has been signed. Cooperation could be related to the UNICORN integrated mast system, but a joint destroyer design is unlikely right now.

♦ Submarines

• Three Additional Scorpenes (P-75 AS)

Commercial negotiations completed months ago. Awaiting final government sanction. MDL expects contract signing soon.

• Project-75I

Commercial negotiations ongoing. Expected completion by December and contract signing by March.

Indian content in the TKMS design will be 60%+, significantly higher than previous P-75 levels.
Once MDL gains full know-how of the P-75I design, it expects:

• Maintenance work for global navies

• Export opportunities (especially in Asia & South America) through TKMS

♦ Landing Platform Docks (LPDs)

MDL has signed an exclusive MoU with Swan Shipyard (SDHI) for the Navy’s four-ship LPD program. SDHI’s Pipavav yard has India’s largest drydock, suitable for 200+ metre vessels.

Project value: ₹40,000 crore ($4.5 billion).

Indigenous design likely; foreign design partner requirements may be dropped. Contract award expected after 1+ year of evaluation.

♦ Frigates

The third P-17A (Nilgiri-class) frigate from MDL will be delivered this year.

Fourth ship is expected in the next financial year. MDL built 4 of the 7 ships, with GRSE building the remaining 3.

• Project-17B Coming Soon

• RFP expected in the coming months.

• Will be the Navy’s next-generation guided-missile frigate class.

♦ Mine Countermeasure Vessels (MCMVs)

RFP expected in 3–4 months, after P-17B RFP. Navy requires 12 MCMVs costing around ₹40,000 crore ($4.5 billion). To be built by two Indian shipyards.

♦ Other Ongoing Projects

The Navy already has underway:

• Next Generation Missile Vessels (NGMV)

• Next Generation Corvettes (NGC)

These, combined with the new destroyers, submarines, LPDs, frigates and MCMVs, form the core of the Indian Navy’s major fleet expansion plan for the 2030s.
