Scary final moments of the IAF MiG-29 that crashed today — seen here in a wild flat-spin hurtling to the ground. Pilot thankfully managed to punch out.

Clip from 2024 trials of an Indian loitering munition that saw action hitting PoK terror launchpads this month in Op Sindoor.

VIDEO BREAK ⚡️ India’s Own Long-Range Swarming Killer Drone Flies We get under the hood of ‘Sheshnaag 150’, a startup-led capability that Indian forces are waiting for:

Why MiG-21s in the post-Balakot air battle? Not a lot of folks are going to like the tough-talking ex-Air Chief Dhanoa. Explosively detailed, honest podcast on the MiG-21 with Vishnu Som &amp; Shiv Aroor. Full episode:

India finally gets GE F404 engines for Tejas Mk1A—nearly 2 years late. A relief, yes. But also a wake-up call: we still can’t power our jets without foreign help. Until we build an engine of our own, we’re flying on borrowed time—and borrowed tech, says Shiv Aroor:

An @IndianNavy P-8I with 2 IAF Su-30MKIs at the #RepublicDay flypast today:

BREAKING 🚨 Boeing awarded U.S. contract to develop sixth generation fighter F-47, announces Trump, says an experimental version of the fighter has been secretly flying for the last 5 years.

We have not looked at it [F-35], there is no offer as such, it doesn’t just happen like this: IAF chief ACM AP Singh at IndiaToday Conclave

BREAKING ⚠️ “Let the process be complete, (then) you’ll know whether HAL is in or out,” says Defence Secretary RK Singh on race to develop &amp; build India’s AMCA stealth fighter. #NDTVProfitConclave

“Drone is gamechanger in war.. China has beaten us, China is this, China is that, see this beautiful China drone.. India is nowhere..” Indian drone startup:

US Navy F-35 fighter from NAS Lemoore crashes in Fresno, California. Pilot reported to have ejected safely.

A great view into how Indian startups are developing architecture for manned-unmanned teaming. First of its kind demo by Newspace &amp; Delhi startup Threye of a fighter-UCAV paired mission — based on NewSpace’s ACID (Air Combat Intelligence Dev) thrust.

Well it only took 12 years 🫠 India’s apex Cabinet Committee on Security clears purchase of 307 Advanced Towed Artillery Guns (ATAGS) worth ₹7,000 crore to be built by Bharat Forge Ltd &amp; Tata Advanced Systems Limited. The gun secured export orders before the Indian Army.

The Indian Army finally orders 307 homegrown ATAGS artillery guns for ₹6,900 cr—a BIG win for private defence &amp; modernisation. But why did it take decades? And why did it get an export order before the Army bought it? Shiv Aroor explains why this deal fires on ALL fronts:

BIG DAY! Cabinet clears massive order for 156 homegrown HAL Prachand light combat helicopters. Shiv Aroor explains why this is huge for the high altitude battlefield, self-reliance, industry and most crucially — the fight in the Himalayas:

INS Surat: terrific official @IndianNavy film on the fourth homegrown Visakhapatnam-class destroyer ahead of her commissioning today in Mumbai by PM @NarendraModi.

That’s one super-clean design! Dynauton Systems’s loitering kamikaze drone. Need more purpose-built kit like this along with software rather than the quadcopter clones being churned out by India’s drone ecosystem.
