Indigenous? Is India still a tribal country? Ingeniously designed is the right word.

#WATCH | Johor Bahru, Malaysia | Former DRDO Scientist Dr Ravi Gupta says, "The Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher system is significant in many ways. It was the first defence system to be manufactured by private industries in the country. In 2008, under the leadership of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, for the first time in the history of independent India, the participation of private industries in the defence sector was approved. This proved to be a game-changer, and leveraging this, DRDO collaborated with the private sector to have it produced by private industries... Even during the Kargil War, when the Pinaka was not yet fully developed, it demonstrated its capabilities. Since then, it has made a very significant contribution to the army. Moreover, the advantage of a multi-barrel rocket launcher is that it is less expensive. Compared to our guided missiles, their cost is significantly lower, although their accuracy is not as high as that of guided missiles. Now, the recently developed 120-kilometre range multi-barrelled long-range rocket system has an accuracy comparable to a guided missile, but at a much lower cost. A large area of โ€‹โ€‹enemy territory can be destroyed in just a few minutes. A 120-kilometre range can prove very decisive for a tactical weapon on the battlefield, and this will give our armed forces great strength and power. Even though it is a tactical weapon, when it is used in large quantities by our armed forces in battle, it can prove very decisive in the war. Another important aspect is that since it was developed in collaboration with the private sector, it will give a significant boost to our industries. It will help in expanding our defence industries..."

Come and hear about the war crimes committed by Hamas. This is an important post, read it all. I mean, beyond the "usual" things they do, like killing Israeli civilians, LGBTQ+ individuals, and opposition figures in Gaza. This war crime is the relentless rocket fire on Israeli civilians. In 2001, Hamas, the Gaza basee terrorist organization, began independently producing and launching rockets into civilian population centers. Since then, especially after Israel fully withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Hamas' rocket fire intensified, and their launch capabilities expanded significantly. Instead of investing in Gaza's infrastructure, Hamas diverted aid funds, equipment provided by the UN and world governments to build rockets with the sole purpose of indiscriminately killing Israeli civilians. They placed launchers and bomb-making facilities within civilian populations and schools. The attached video shows Hamas using sewage pipes and hoses to construct long-range rockets, and an image displays missile depots and launchers inside a mosque and a Gaza youth movement building. Rocket attacks in the early years killed dozens of civilians, with thousands injured despite citizens seeking shelter during rocket alerts. At this point, Israel decided to invest billions in the Iron Dome defense system to protect its citizens. Israel's commitment to protecting all citizens, both Jewish and Arab, contrasts sharply with Hamas. After years of effort, Israel successfully deployed the Iron Dome, boasting a 96% success rate in intercepting rockets aimed at civilian centers. The system identifies and intercepts only those rockets posing a threat to population centers, sparing open areas. Launching such rockets into civilian areas is a war crime, turning launch sites and missile depots into legitimate military targets, even within civilian populations. Imagine the Israeli casualties if Israel hadn't neutralized missile depots or activated the Iron Dome. Now, consider the following data: The cost of producing a Hamas rocket ranges from $100 to several thousand dollars for a more sophisticated one. They use simple materials like cement supplied by the UN, irrigation system pipes, and other basic tools. Israel, on the other hand, invests a significant amount in Iron Dome missiles, with each interceptor costing between $50,000 and $200,000. Israel's annual investment in defense, protecting both its Jewish and Arab citizens, amounts to billions, while Hamas invests billions in developing rockets aimed at killing civilians and in the development of terrorist infrastructure. Since the current conflict began, Hamas has fired over 9,000 rockets at Israel, with over 10% landing within Gaza itself. The Iron Dome intercepted over two thousand rockets, costing nearly $200 million for the entire interceptor supply. Imagine the potential damage if all these rockets hit Israel โ€“ thousands of rockets could cause an estimated over a thousand casualties, thousands of injuries, and extensive damage. Hamas' continued rocket fire on Israeli civilians is a war crime. It always has been and always will be. We can no longer turn a blind eye to this. After Hamas carried out a brutal massacre in addition to rocket attacks, we had no other choice. Israel stands on the side of morality and justice. While Hamas fires missiles at civilian populations and commits atrocities against innocent civilians, Israel targets only legitimate military objectives according to international law. Israel uses precision missiles, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, while Hamas fires indiscriminate rockets. Hamas poses a threat to Israeli citizens, committing war crimes without restraint, and it can not continue. In the pictures: the summary of the data written in the post about the Hamas rocket fire and a video of a rocket falling on the road. Imagine how many people could be killed by her.

#WATCH | Nagpur, Maharashtra: Solar Defence and Aerospace Ltd. (SDAL) demonstrated "Bhargavastra", an indigenous, vehicle-mounted, multi-layered Counter-Swarm Drone System designed to provide affordable and highly effective protection against the rapidly growing threat of weaponised drones, loitering munitions and autonomous drone swarms. Developed entirely in India, Bhargavastra represents a major technological breakthrough in counter-drone warfare and reflects SDAL's vision of anticipating the future character of conflict well before drones emerged as one of the most decisive battlefield weapons. The system employs indigenously designed and developed unguided rockets and precision micro-missiles arranged in a multi-layer engagement architecture, providing a highly effective yet economical means of neutralising hostile UAVs. It has also been designed for seamless integration with the existing Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C4I) networks of the Indian Armed Forces, enabling its employment in future network-centric operations. Engineered specifically for Indian operational conditions, Bhargavastra is capable of deployment across deserts, plains and mountainous terrain up to 5,000 metres above mean sea level, providing reliable protection against aerial threats along the country's entire land borders. The Command-and-Control Centre incorporates an advanced C4I architecture integrating a radar capable of detecting UAVs up to 10 km, an Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) surveillance system and passive RF sensors. These sensors provide multi-layer target detection, tracking and classification, generating a comprehensive air situation picture and enabling operators to engage either individual drones or coordinated drone swarms. Unlike conventional soft-kill systems based on jamming or spoofing, Bhargavastra provides an effective hard-kill solution against autonomous drones that are immune to electronic countermeasures. A team of Indian Army visited SDAL, Nagpur on 24th July 2026 as part of Status review against a PSO under make-II The Bhargavastra weapon system, in its full configuration comprising a Command & Control Vehicle (CCV) equipped with Radar, EO/IR and RF detectors integrated with the C4I system, along with a launcher vehicle carrying all the launch tubes, was demonstrated. The SDAL team flew a swarm of drones, which was successfully detected by the Radar, EO/IR and RF detectors. The C4I system displayed the complete situational awareness picture and generated a drone attack alert. The launcher was then assigned the targets by the C4I system, and the complete firing sequence was successfully demonstrated to the visiting team. Actual rocket firing was not carried out within the plant premises due to safety considerations.

Japan plans to reclaim its status as a great power over the next decade The country buildup goes far beyond next-generation submarines. By 2028, HVGP Block 1 and Block 2 will be fully operational with ranges up to 2,000 km. Ir means maneuverable hypersonic weapons in service within 2โ€“3 years. Not only this, but a submarine-launched variant reaching 3,000 km is planned for the early 2030s, along with a new stealth modular hypersonic anti-ship missile (2,000+ km). Type 12 missiles are being upgraded to 1,000โ€“1,500 km, deployable from ships, aircraft, and ground batteries. This is complemented by mass production of indigenous long-range cruise missiles, delivery of ~400โ€“500 Tomahawks, and full JASSM-ER/LRASM/JSM integration on the F-35 fleet. Submarines: 24โ€“25 modern SSKs Surface fleet: 12 Mogami-class frigates, 2โ€“3 ASEV super-destroyers (128โ€“160 VLS each), plus 8โ€“12 new multi-role destroyers by 2035, all equipped with the co-developed Glide Phase Interceptor for anti-hypersonic defense. total 58โ€“64 modern combat ships. Air force: 140โ€“150 F-35s + GCAP 6th-gen fighter entering service in 2035. Japan is simultaneously equipping the Philippines with radars, patrol vessels, and command systems, setting the stage for much deeper military cooperation. Looking the space to become a major player in the region. Within ten years Japan will field hypersonic strike weapons with 1,000โ€“3,000+ km range, ahead of any western county, with operational glide-phase interception capability against hypersonic threats. Japan is back.

Operators of the 413th ยซRaidยป Regiment of the USF destroyed a Russian ยซTor-M2ยป SAM system The target was detected and destroyed at a distance of over 100 km from the line of active combat in the temporarily occupied territory near the village of Berdianske, Zaporizhzhia region. The estimated cost of the system is at least $25 million. The strike was delivered by a domestic (Ukrainian-made) asset equipped with a powerful warhead, specifically designed for deep strikes against enemy targets. Key features of the ยซTor-M2ยป: โ€ข Ammunition: 16 missiles per launcher (previous ยซTorยป modifications carried 8); โ€ข Engagement range: Up to 12 km against aerial targets, with an altitude of up to 10 km; โ€ข Capabilities: The enemy claims the ยซTor-M2ยป is capable of firing while on the move and intercepting UAVs, guided aerial bombs, and rockets; โ€ข Crew: Three personnel (on the 9A331M2 combat vehicle). The ยซRaidยป Regiment of the USF systematically weakens the occupiers' air defenses. This creates opportunities to strike enemy targets at any possible depth.

Marc Andreessen says Elon almost lit his entire $180 million fortune on fire with one decision. His friend tried to stop him. The friend (Andreessen thinks it was Adeo Ressi) sat Elon down before he started SpaceX. He showed him a compilation, pre-YouTube, of rockets blowing up over and over again. "You're literally going to light your fortune on fire." This was 2002. Elon had just sold PayPal. The $180 million he walked out with was everything he had left after taxes. He spent it on SpaceX anyway. The first three rockets exploded. The famous photo from this era shows Elon in shorts and a polo. He's crouched in front of the wreckage of the third rocket. Eric Berger documented the entire period in his book *Liftoff*. Andreessen's take: "Nothing good in the book. It's just reading one failure after another, and one catastrophe after another." Eventually the rockets started landing on their butt. Today, SpaceX builds its own city in Texas. Starlink came later, which is a side project at the rocket company. The friend who tried to save Elon's fortune was wrong about the rockets. But he was right about the fire.

In 2002, Elon Musk tried to buy a rocket. The Russians quoted him $8 million per unit. American aerospace companies wanted over $65 million. He walked away from both. On the flight home, he opened a spreadsheet and broke down the raw materials. Aerospace-grade aluminum. Titanium. Copper. Carbon fiber. He priced each on the commodity market. The total came to roughly 2% of what the industry was charging. That gap is what first principles thinking actually looks like. Not "how do we negotiate a better deal." Not "who else sells rockets." Just: what is this thing actually made of, and why does it cost what it costs? The answer was overhead. Legacy processes. Layers of contractors and subcontractors. Margins stacked on margins. Nobody had questioned the price because nobody had questioned the structure. Musk decided to build it himself. The first Falcon 1 exploded 33 seconds after launch. The second made it further but failed to reach orbit. The third exploded too. Three rockets. Three failures. SpaceX was almost out of money. Musk put his last $35 million into the company. If the fourth launch failed, that was it. September 28, 2008. Falcon 1 Flight 4 reached orbit. First privately developed liquid fuel rocket to ever do it. Seven years later, they landed a booster back on Earth for the first time. Now they do it routinely. The cost per launch dropped from $65 million to under $3 million for a reused Falcon 9 booster. Everyone else was reasoning by analogy: rockets are expensive because rockets have always been expensive. Musk reasoned from atoms: rockets are expensive because nobody rebuilt the system from the ground up.

For years, NordSpace has been building towards one goal: launching Canadian payloads on Canadian rockets from Canadian soil in a way thatโ€™s technologically scalable and commercially sustainable through painstaking vertical integration. Today, that vision is rapidly taking shape and we are pleased to share this inspiring video preview of what Canadaโ€™s historic first sovereign orbital space launch will look like. Enjoy! Tundra is NordSpaceโ€™s domestically designed, built, and operated light-lift responsive orbital rocket. It can carry up to 1,100 kg fully optimized to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) powered by our proprietary Hadfield rocket engines that are 3D-printed, regeneratively cooled, and pump fed representing the most powerful orbital-class propulsion system in Canada. The modular architecture means the same engine powers both the multi-engine first stage and the vacuum-optimized second stage, reducing complexity while creating a direct scaling path toward our future reusable Titan medium-lift vehicle, capable of 5,000+ kg to LEO. The Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX), under construction in Newfoundland and Labrador, is positioned at 46 degrees latitude providing launch access to polar, sun-synchronous, and mid-inclination orbits with the widest range of nominal launch inclinations of any Canadian spaceport. Itโ€™s the only fully Canadian-owned and purpose-built commercial orbital launch facility in the country with the highest approved launch cadence and safety distances allowing us to maximize the efficiency, reliability, scalability, and unit economics of our entire launch program. What distinguishes NordSpace is our commitment to vertical integration and first principles approach to business and technology. Rockets, spaceport, and spacecraft are all designed, manufactured, and operated in Canada by one streamlined team. We have already demonstrated flight-ready propulsion, completed integrated rocket tests, and have our first pathfinder satellite, Terra Nova, manifested for launch in 2026 with our edge-AI imaging payload (Chronos) for space domain awareness nd our electric propulsion system (Zephyr-EP). With recently announced $8.3 million in Phase 1 federal funding through the Department of National Defenceโ€™s Launch the North initiative, NordSpace is targeting Initial Operational Capability by 2028. Canada is about to become a true spacefaring nation, and our future on Earth and in space will never be the same.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russiaโ€™s Starlink killers showcase new era of electronic battlefield warfare Russia has ramped-up EW use to detect and jam Elon Muskโ€™s Starlink terminals and satellites, Ukrainian media reports. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Meet Russiaโ€™s key counter-Starlink systems: ๐Ÿ”ธ Volna Kupol Garant Russiaโ€™s latest electronic warfare system reportedly uses a directed high-frequency radio beam to disrupt Starlink operations. Rather than damaging satellites orbiting roughly 500 kilometers above Earth, the system blinds them โ€“ cutting their ability to connect with ground terminals while they remain under attack. According to reports, Volna is a mobile system built around six trailers. Each carries a pair of steerable satellite dishes mounted on rotating platforms. A single battery is reportedly capable of denying Starlink coverage across an area of up to 20 sq km. Some analysts say the system was previously referenced under the designation Peresvet-M, although this has not been independently confirmed. Ukrainian sources claim Volna was first deployed during Russia's offensive in the Kharkov region in 2024. They also say its use has increased significantly in recent months. ๐Ÿ”ธ Tobol The secretive Russian EW complex is reportedly used to disrupt signals from NATO-linked satellite networks, including GPS, Galileo, and Starlink. Reports claim that Tobol attacks satellite communications on both ends of the link โ€“ jamming downlinks from satellites to ground receivers and uplinks from Earth to orbit. Its power and range also allegedly allow it to create an electromagnetic "umbrella." ๐Ÿ”ธ Kalinka The system is designed to hunt down satellite communications signals, including those transmitted by Starlink terminals at distances of up to 15 km. It can reportedly track and lock onto even Starshield โ€“ SpaceXโ€™s hardened military variant of Starlink. Western media warns that while Tobol disrupts GPS signals on a broad scale, the Kalinkaโ€™s precision-targeting capabilities could pose a more direct threat to specific military operations. ๐Ÿ”ธ Krasukha The Krasukha-S4 is designed to neutralize reconnaissance satellites, ground-based radar installations, and airborne surveillance systems. It does so by emitting powerful electronic jamming signals that disrupt key radar bands and other radio-frequency emissions. A standard Krasukha-S4 battery consists of two vehicles and has an operational range exceeding 300 kilometers. ๐Ÿ”ธ Borshchevik The light mobile system is designed to detect and geolocate Starlink terminals within a 180-degree sector at ranges of up to 10 km, with a reported accuracy of five meters. Using direction-finding and biangulation algorithms, it can locate a target in less than three minutes at a single scanning position. The Borshchevik-2 airborne system hunts Starlink signals from the sky, with reported accuracy down to 0.4 m.

The situation in northern Israel is getting surprisingly little attention in the West. Hereโ€™s some background and an explanation of just how dire it is. World War Three gets closer by the day, and Iโ€™m not exaggerating. UNSC resolution 1701 (2006) is that Hezbollah agree to stay north of the river Litani in Lebanon. This puts Israeli settlements out of anti-tank rocket range. However, Hezbollah have broken this and since 7th October have fired thousands of rockets into Israel, displacing some 60,000 Israelis from their homes. To be clear, Hezbollah is a direct Iranian proxy, who live like a virus inside the almost-dead body of the Lebanese state. Their fighters are far superior to Hamas, having gained serious experience in the Syrian civil war. They have no real ground manoeuvre or air power, but their tunnels in the chalk rock of southern Lebanon are better than Hamasโ€™ and they have an estimated 150,000 rockets. There are UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon, but (shockingly for the UN, I know) theyโ€™re as much use as a bacon sandwich at a Bar Mitzvah. One very senior Israeli source described them to me as โ€œan umbrella that folds when it rainsโ€. So Israel has a real, very serious problem. They do not have the manpower to assault into Lebanon for any kind of sustained campaign, especially whilst Gaza is ongoing. So, in polite terms, they are kicking the shit out of it from the air (over which they have total superiority) and relying on missile defences. Thousands of targets have been struck in the last 9 months but Hezbollah retain very significant missile capability. This is why Israel are beholden to the USA to offer obscenely generous ceasefire terms to Hamas (that Hamas appear to be declining). They cannot afford to lose American military aid with this threat on their northern border. In the videos below, in the first vid you see the war zone northern Israel has become. The second one is the settlement of Katzrin in the Golan Heights. Surrounded on all sides by fires. In a statement to Qatari-funded Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece Al Jazeera, yesterday Hezbollah said, โ€œWe simultaneously attacked 15 bases in the Golan and the Galilee using 150 rockets and 30 drones. This is the most extensive attack carried out by the organization since October 8, this attack came in response to the assassination in Joya and in order to deter Israel from carrying out further assassinations of this type.โ€ On top of that, Iranian proxies in Iraq took responsibility last night for the joint operation they carried out together with the Houthis (Iranian proxies in Yemen), which launched these ballistic missiles and UAVs towards the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Haifa (third video). Iran is besieging Israel on all sides, and Israel is bending, not breaking. This situation is genuinely dire. It explains why Hamas will not sign a ceasefire deal, and why other non-Iran aligned Gulf states are meeting with IDF commanders. The entire region is teetering on the edge of a much more widespread conflict with Iran, and Israel is taking the brunt of it. If this situation deteriorates, our allies in the Gulf may call for aid. As a second front in the war against the Iran-Russia-China-Qatar axis of malign global actors, this could not be more serious or worrying. And all the while we see subversive Iranian proxy organisations organising protests about Gaza on Western streets. Hopefully the West is not defeated domestically before the war even starts in earnest.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ For years, Hezbollah's threat to Israel came with a simple mental image: a warehouse full of rockets and a finger hovering over the โ€œlaunch everythingโ€ button. Crude, overwhelming, and terrifying in a very blunt-force way. That version of the problem hasnโ€™t disappeared, it's been upgraded. Hezbollah is estimated to still have thousands of rockets and missiles, even after a war that chewed through stockpiles and an Israeli campaign that made a sport out of blowing them up. Short-range rockets for saturation, medium-range systems that can reach deep into Israel, anti-tank missiles waiting for any ground incursion, and anti-ship weapons. That alone is enough to keep northern Israel on edge, but rockets are yesterdayโ€™s nightmare. Todayโ€™s headache comes with wings, a camera, and just enough intelligence to make Israel's multi-billion-dollar defense system sweat. Enter Iranโ€™s favorite export: drones. The kind that loiter, watch, wait, and then slam into something expensive. Hezbollah isnโ€™t just receiving these systems anymore. Itโ€™s learning how to build them, tweak them, and mass-produce them locally. Which means this isnโ€™t a supply problem Israel can bomb away. Itโ€™s a manufacturing problem that regenerates. Hereโ€™s how the future fight looks: Rockets go up first; loud, messy, designed to overwhelm and distract. Air defenses light up, radars turn on, and interceptors launch. Then the drones come in. Some scout, some jam, some just wait patiently for something valuable to reveal itself, and then they dive. Itโ€™s not brute force anymore, itโ€™s layered harassment with a brain. Israel still holds the technological edge. Its air defenses are among the best on the planet, its intelligence is deep, and its ability to strike back is unmatched in the region. But even the best systems have limits, especially when theyโ€™re forced to play whack-a-mole against something cheap, persistent, and increasingly local. Thatโ€™s the shift. Hezbollah is no longer just a rocket army. Itโ€™s becoming a hybrid force that blends old-school saturation with modern, Iranian-designed precision nuisance. Not powerful enough to win a war outright, but clever enough to make every day of one painfully expensive and unpredictably dangerous.

Pakistan military continued with its provocations, carrying out aggressive actions employing multiple threat vectors all along the western border. Pakistan employed UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions, and fighter aircraft to target civilian areas and military infrastructure. Pakistan military also resorted to air intrusions using drones and firing of heavy-caliber weapons along the Line of Control. Along the international border and the Line of Control, air intrusions and several harassment attacks were also attempted from Srinagar to Naliya at more than 26 locations. Indian Armed Forces successfully neutralized these threats and the majority of the vectors. However, limited damage was sustained to equipment and personnel at Indian air stations at Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur, and Bhuj. There were also several high-speed missile attacks noticed subsequently after 01:40 hours in the night at several air bases in Punjab in a deplorable, cowardly act. Targeting of civilian infrastructure had also taken place, where Pakistan attacked the Medicare center and school premises at the airbases of Srinagar, Avantipur, and Udhampur, yet again displaying irresponsible targeting of our civil infrastructure. In a swift and calibrated response, the Indian Armed Forces carried out precision attacks only on identified military targets. These included technical infrastructure, command and control centres, radar sites, and weapon storage areas. Pakistan military targets at Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Chunian were engaged using air-launched precision weapons from our fighter aircraft. Radar sites at Pasrur and Sialkot aviation base were also targeted using precision measures. While carrying out these responses, India ensured minimum collateral damage. Pakistan has also attempted to execute a continued malicious misinformation campaign which claims the destruction of India's S-400 system at Adampur, destruction of airfields at Suratgarh and Sirsa, BrahMos space at Nagrota, artillery positions, and Chandigarh Forward Ammunition Depot, with heavy damages to other military stations being propagated on social media. India unequivocally rejects these false narratives being spread by Pakistan. Along the Line of Control also, Pakistan has attempted multiple air intrusions using drones and conducted shelling using heavy-caliber artillery guns, targeting civilian infrastructure and killing some civilians. Heavy exchange of artillery mortars and small arms fire in Poonch, Kupwara, Baramulla, Rajouri, and Akhnoor sectors continued. Indian Army has responded effectively and proportionately, causing extensive damage to the Pakistan Army. Pak military has been observed to be moving their troops into forward areas, indicating offensive intent to further escalate the situation. Indian Armed Forces remain in a high state of operational readiness. All hostile actions have been effectively countered and responded to appropriately. Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is reciprocated by the Pakistani military. : Wing Commander Vyomika Singh

Success! ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ At 3:45 PM EDT on Friday May 16th, 2025, we successfully tested both our new orbital Darkhorse engine test cell and our new third generation 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engine for the first time, marking a significant step towards Canadaโ€™s first commercial space launch. The test ran for 7 seconds at our propulsion test range, a company-owned secure site in Northeastern Ontario, successfully delivering nominal thrust, active cooling, and impulse results. This major test of the Darkhorse test cell and Hadfield Mk III engine lays the groundwork for NordSpace's Tundra orbital rocket, as the test cell is specifically designed to integrate with our turbo pump assembly in the next phase of propulsion development. Long duration tests are scheduled for the coming days, along with refinements to fuel mixture ratios and higher-pressure scenarios to test the limits of Darkhorse and our new engines. Minor upgrades and fixes to address a harmless leak in the cryogenic liquid oxygen line and design changes to our experimental control rods have already been made. Hot on the heels of our successful integrated test of our Taiga sub-orbital launch vehicle back in January, rapid developments and approvals at our spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador, announcement of the SHARP (Supersonics and Hypersonics Applications Research Program), hosting the inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference in Ottawa, and more - NordSpace is strengthening its position every day to ensure sovereign space launch is not just possible, but probable for Canada. Our historic first experimental flight is scheduled for 2025 from our spaceport, Spaceport Canada. NordSpace's CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said โ€œThis successful test is not only a testament to NordSpaceโ€™s unmatched technical competency, but also to the success of our new project management framework, design philosophy, and engineering mindset used to deliver results for complex projects on time and within budget. Success on the first try with countless potential sources of failure is not common in the development of complex rocket systems, but our team succeeded by prioritizing first principles engineering. This test confirmed that we do have the right stuff, and that we will deliver this incredibly important sovereign launch capability for all Canadians. Like the land, air, and sea, space is no longer some final frontier for Canada. Space is an essential domain we must unlock, and launch a capability we must own. Without it, we are jeopardizing not only our security, sovereignty and economy, but are also relegating Canada to a participatory instead of a leadership role on the world stage. We must not let this happen.โ€

NordSpace's CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said โ€œThis successful test is not only a testament to NordSpaceโ€™s unmatched technical competency, but also to the success of our new project management framework, design philosophy, and engineering mindset used to deliver results for complex projects on time and within budget. Success on the first try with countless potential sources of failure is not common in the development of complex rocket systems, but our team succeeded by prioritizing first principles engineering. This test confirmed that we do have the right stuff, and that we will deliver this incredibly important sovereign launch capability for all Canadians. Like the land, air, and sea, space is no longer some final frontier for Canada. Space is an essential domain we must unlock, and launch a capability we must own. Without it, we are jeopardizing not only our security, sovereignty and economy, but are also relegating Canada to a participatory instead of a leadership role on the world stage. We must not let this happen.โ€

PRESS RELEASE | Honโ€™ble PM Unveils Loiter Munition Test Range and MALE UAV Runway Test Facility at Solar Nagpur. Big push to Self-reliance in Unmanned Aerial Systems Honโ€™able PM on his visit to Nagpur on 30 Mar 2025, made his last halt of the day at Solar Defence & Aerospace Ltd (SDAL) Nagpur. Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman and Mr Raghav Nuwal welcomed the Honโ€™able PM at SDAL Helipad. From there he was escorted to Technical Area where Honโ€™ble PM inaugurated Loiter Munition Test Range. Spread over 1080 acres this test range has a dedicated Command & Control Centre, UAV Take off Area, Endurance and Communication Range check facility, Parachute Recovery Area, Static & Moving Target Engagement, Target Hit and CEP Measurement, Warhead Lethality Test facility, and many more. After the inauguration the PM visited the product gallery wherein SDAL showcased its products like Pinaka Rocket System, Air-bombs, Mines, Grenade, Military Explosives, ATGM, Nagastra 1 & 2 Loiter Munitions, and many more. Thereafter, the PM was then escorted by the Chairman to the newly constructed Air strip where he was received by Mr. Manish Nuwal, MD & CEO, SDAL. He then proceeded to unveil the Plaque to mark the Inauguration of the new 1.27 km Runway Facility for Development & Testing of MALE/HALE Class Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Solar has taken a big initiative for developing a MALE UAV and a suo-moto proposal has already been submitted to IAF which is under consideration. The Prime Minister also witnessed the display of the state of art indigenously developed systems viz. Loiter Munition (Nagastra 3), Bhargavastra (Micro-Missile based Counter Drone System) and Bhaumastra (Mine Detection & Disposal System). Key highlights of displayed systems are as follows: - โ€ข Loitering Munitions: Many Indian industries and start-ups have entered drone related technologies and systems mostly focused on surveillance and logistics applications. Use of drones and UAVs for combat applications requires critical competency and infrastructure. Keeping in view the futuristic requirements of this emerging technology, SIDAL has taken the initiative to develop Nagastra series of Loiter Munitions of ranges from 15 km to more than 100 km and explosive payload carrying capability from 1 kg to 10 kg. Nagastra 3 is a Vehicle Launched Loiter Munition System of endurance 3 hours, range 100 km and can carry 8.5 kg warhead. It is being developed under Make 2 project from Arty of Indian Army. โ€ข Bhargavastra is an indigenously designed and developed Counter Drone System meant for quick interception of drones for an assured hard kill using tiny, guided missiles with swarm engagement capability. This solution offers mobile protection against drone attacks with near simultaneous engagement of multiple drones. With a long range of detection (upto 6 km) and long range of neutralization (upto 2.5 km), it ensures safety of vulnerable assets/battlefield formations. โ€ข SDAL has taken an initiative to address the global menace of land mines detection and disposal. As per some estimates there are more than 11 million buried mines world over which remain uncleared and are causing casualties or maiming of both soldiers and civilians in peace time. Bhaumastra, a drone-based system under development by SDAL, would be the first of its kind in any developed nation to provide a drone-based solution to this global problem. It was a proud and inspirational moment for all the 10,000 employees of Solar Group, Nagpur to be witness to this important milestone in the History of their Company where the Prime Minister was among their midst. An emotional send off was given to the Honโ€™ble PM by the 3 generations of the SDAL Group management viz. Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman, Shri Manish Nuwal CEO and Managing Director and Mr Raghav Nuwal.

Japan's Defense and Technology Japan today has a modern and powerful navy. The Japanese fleet currently has about one-quarter the number of VLS cells compared to the Chinese navy, and this number will increase with the commissioning of additional ASEV destroyers and Mogami-class frigates. I believe that within 6โ€“8 years, the Japanese navy could become the fourth-largest in the world in terms of VLS cell count. However, there are areas where Japan, despite its cutting-edge technology, still needs to improve, specifically two: anti-ship missiles and drones, but also become more independent about naval air defense systems. The Japanese fleet still largely relies on the Type 90 SSM on many ships, which has a range of only 150 km, and on the Type 17 SSM, which is being introduced slowly and has a range of 300โ€“400 km. In the coming years, there is talk of a version with up to 900 km range and the introduction of a ship-launched Type 12. Air defense systems remain heavily dependent on the United States, primarily using the SM-2/SM-6 and SM-3 on the most modern ships. Japan is an island nation and has historically always developed its own naval designs and equipment. It needs partners, but it must also maintain its own indigenous models. Another point is that a country as modern and pioneering in so many fields cannot afford to lack its own drone industry. Today, Japan operates American HALE drones such as the RQ-4 Global Hawk (manufactured by Northrop Grumman) and the MQ-9B SeaGuardian as its primary MALE platform for maritime surveillance. It is also testing Turkish and Israeli drones. This means that in any conflict, Japan could run out of reconnaissance drones in a very short time. The situation is quite different in South Korea, where there is a robust domestic drone industry led by companies such as Korea Aerospace Industries, Korean Air Aerospace Division, Hanwha Aerospace, and the Agency for Defense Development. Although South Korea still relies on foreign suppliers for HALE drones, it already has indigenous MALE models like the KUS-FS, along with other systems under development. In the next 5โ€“10 years, long-range anti-ship missiles (1,000โ€“4,000 km) will become a reality on Japanese ships and submarines. However, I still do not see independent projects in the fields of air defense systems or drones. South Korea obviously has different priorities from Japan, as it faces a much more precarious security situation. But if Japan also wants to establish itself as an exporter, and it is already doing so, it needs to demonstrate greater independence and a truly cutting-edge portfolio. On the current trajectory, if the country resolves the drone issue (as I believe it will), Japan should reach a world-leading level within 10 years or less.
