Incident brings back memories of 1963 crash that claimed lives of five top Indian military commanders, and led to new protocols regarding top officers flying in the same chopper.
Addressing Combined Commanders Conference in Gujarat, PM Modi highlighted the need to develop the military into a ‘future force’ taking note of rapidly changing technological landscape.
The Defence Minister also said that India has nurtured close relations and partnerships with like-minded countries to further the common security interests.
Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rawat also said India's armed forces will increasingly need to achieve more with less, which requires a relook at current force structures, doctrines & tech.
Russia is eyeing the shipyard to buttress its pitch for building six new conventional submarines under Project 75 India, while Jindals see it as a captive client of its own.
Mamdani’s politics feels unusual compared to India’s current climate. He unapologetically foregrounds Muslim identity at a time when doing so in India invites scrutiny.
On 4 November 2025, NCLAT bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Arun Baroka, noted that WhatsApp and Meta are distinct legal entities.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Instead of focusing on multiple problems such as poverty, corruption, instability, inequality and violation of minority rights, barbarism over Muslims etc. India is bent upon increasing its defence budget. It exposes Indian hegemonic designs for the South Asian region. It is ultimately becoming the primary reason for instability and insecurity not only for Pakistan but also for other regional states. Furthermore, both India and Pakistan are considered arch-rivals in the South Asia region.
While drones are great and the final arrival is still a while away , just like in celluloid, control of drones can be taken away from anyone if adversaries have the sufficient technical know-how and advance knowledge which seems to be case with our eastern neighbors.
@Abhay R: What makes you think that you are smarter than the Indian/American govts. & the drone vendors??!!
In the early 90s the talk of improving telephone connectivity meant miles of telephone lines and multistory buildings housing telephone exchanges. but with the advent of the mobile the situation changed in an unimaginable way.
Similarly the concept of weaponization also seems to be moving away from the sophisticated ships and aircrafts manned by highly trained pilots, to missiles and armed UAVs both for attacks and defence.
That seems to be reason for Navy, Army and IAF finally agreeing to procure armed drones.The development, acquisition, production, upgradation and maintenance of the conventional Navy, Army and Force assets is humongous task, if that load can reduced why not.
In missile technology our capabilities are well known with the near perfect and cost effective performance of ISRO. Adoption for defense capabilities does not need reinventing the wheel.

It’s General Dynamics not General Atomics. General Atomics is an energy company.
