To increase the firepower of Indian Navy’s submarines, the Defense Ministry has signed an agreement to purchase 48 torpedoes from an Italian company. The total value of this deal is Rs 1896 crore. The special thing is that this company was once a part of the Italian company linked to the VVIP helicopter (Agusta Westland) scam.

According to the Defense Ministry, a deal was signed with WASS Submarine Systems SRL of Italy at a cost of approximately Rs 1896 crore for the procurement and integration of 48 heavy weight torpedoes and related equipment for the Kalvari-class submarines (P-75) of the Indian Navy. This agreement was signed in the presence of Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in the capital Delhi on Tuesday.

When will the torpedoes be delivered?

The delivery of these torpedoes will begin from April 2028 and will be completed by the early 2030s. This acquisition will increase the combat capability of six Kalvari class submarines.

It is noteworthy that on Sunday, President Draupadi Murmu visited Kalvari class submarine, INS Waghshir and reviewed the war fleet of the Indian Navy.

Torpedo manufacturing company was once a part of Finmanica

WASS Company was once part of Finmanica (now Leonardo), the company that built AgustaWestland. During the UPA government (2004-2014), Finmanica and its associated companies were blacklisted by the Defense Ministry due to the VVIP helicopter purchase scam. However, in the year 2021, the company was removed from the blacklist. WASS company is now a part of Italy’s Finsantieri Group and is among the few companies in the world that can make torpedoes.

The Defense Ministry issued a statement after the agreement saying that these torpedoes have important operational capabilities and advanced technical features. This acquisition underlines the Government’s commitment to meet the operational requirements of the Indian Navy by inducting weapons with specialized technologies and advanced capabilities.

Defense Ministry signed a deal worth Rs 4666 crore

The special thing is that on Tuesday, the Defense Ministry signed a total of 4666 crore agreements including 48 torpedoes (worth 1896 crores). These also include 4.25 lakh Close Battle Carbines (CQB) for the Army and Navy, the total cost of which is Rs 2770 crore. This agreement has been signed with Bharat Forge of Pune and PLR Systems of Adani Group. In the financial year 2025-26, the Defense Ministry has signed capital contracts worth Rs 1,82,492 crore for the modernization of the armed forces.

A report has come from America’s Defense Department Pentagon regarding China. It has been claimed that China is trying to put obstacles in the way of expanding the strategic partnership between Washington and New Delhi. In this report released on Tuesday (December 23, 2025), emphasis has also been laid on China’s military cooperation with Pakistan and the rapid increase in nuclear weapons.

How is China wooing India?

The Pentagon report also reiterated China’s territorial claims on Arunachal Pradesh, describing the Indian state as part of Beijing’s declared ‘core interests’. According to the report, China’s inclination towards India is driven by broader strategic concerns, especially Washington’s growing engagement with New Delhi. It says that Beijing is trying to prevent deeper relations between India and America by taking advantage of the reduced tension on LAC.

For the past several years, America has been looking at India as a balance to China’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The Pentagon document shows that Beijing hopes that diplomatic relations with India may prevent the alliance from strengthening.

Relations deteriorated after Galwan clash

In the year 2020, relations between India and China deteriorated rapidly after the violent clash in Galwan Valley of Ladakh, in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred. Beijing had claimed martyrdom of four of its soldiers. After this deadlock, both sides held several rounds of talks at military, diplomatic and political levels. Despite this, areas like Demchok and Depsang remained unresolved.

The report said that in October last year, India and China had announced patrolling arrangements on the LAC, which resulted in the withdrawal of troops in eastern Ladakh. The development paved the way for a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia. This was the first formal conversation between PM Modi and Xi Jinping after the clashes of 2020. The same meeting included peace on the LAC between the two countries, resumption of direct flights and visa services.

However, it has also been made clear in the report that India is completely alert about Beijing’s intentions. He is skeptical about China’s actions and intentions. It further says that due to mutual distrust and many problems between the two countries, their relations are limited.

What is there in the report regarding Arunachal Pradesh?

The report also draws attention to China’s broader territorial claims, especially its stance on Arunachal Pradesh. According to the US Defense Department, Beijing has further expanded the scope of its ‘core interests’ to include sovereignty claims over Taiwan, Arunachal Pradesh, almost the entire South China Sea and the Senkaku Islands amid territorial disputes.

China calls Arunachal Pradesh ‘Zangnan, the southern part of Tibet’, a claim India strongly rejects and believes the state is an integral part of the country.

The document states that China considers three ‘core interests’ essential for national revitalization and there can be no compromise on them. 1- Maintaining control of the Chinese Communist Party, 2- Advancing economic development and 3- Protecting and expanding territorial claims.

China’s stance regarding Taiwan in the report

The Pentagon report also assesses China’s attitude towards Taiwan, saying that Beijing considers force, if necessary, necessary for unification for national revitalization. However, it also says that Chinese leaders are ‘uncertain about the readiness of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to successfully occupy Taiwan in the face of US intervention.’

China is making Pakistan a strategic weapon against India

China has a compulsion to maintain good relations with India. If he spoils relations with India, he will have to suffer the consequences. This is the reason why it is using Pakistan as a strategic weapon against India. The report says that this is why China is providing Pakistan with advanced military equipment, including frigates, fighter aircraft and armed drones.

By May 2025, China had delivered 20 of the 36 J-10C multirole fighter jets to Pakistan. Strike-capable Kaihong and Wing Loong unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were also given.

US defense assessments suggest that China and Pakistan are working together to put pressure on India through ‘grey zone operations’, using pressure tactics to avoid open conflict. American intelligence sources have described Islamabad as China’s ‘pressure valve’ against India.

Nuclear weapons increased rapidly in China

The Pentagon report also focuses on China’s rapidly increasing nuclear weapons. The Pentagon estimates that Beijing is adding about 100 nuclear weapons every year and by the end of 2024 its stockpile will exceed 600.

It is estimated that by 2030, China will have about 1,000 nuclear weapons, which can be deployed in missiles, submarines and bombers. The report concludes that China’s historic military buildup has increased America’s tension and reshaped the regional security balance.

India is now going to take a big decision regarding the safety of its satellites in space. The Indian Space Research Center (ISRO) plans to deploy ‘bodyguards satellites’ to protect Indian satellites in space. Just as the Indian Air Defense System S-400 protected from the missiles fired by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, similarly these satellites will destroy Indian satellites every nefarious plan of enemy countries.

Bloomberg quoted sources as saying that the idea on it started when in 2024, the neighboring satellite came to a close to a satellite of ISRO. The distance between the two satellites was just one kilometer. In space, this satellite was in orbit of 500 to 600 km and was doing work related to military activities such as mapping and ground monitoring. However, somehow collision was averted.
How much budget did India keep?

This initiative of India regarding space is part of the government’s comprehensive security scheme. According to sources, under this, a fleet of 50 monitoring satellites will be prepared at a cost of about 2.7 lakh crore rupees. India’s preparation can be gauged from the fact that the first of these satellites can be launched only by next year. Apart from this, the Government of India is also planning to work on new technologies with other startups.

China and Pakistan will fail

Experts believe that as satellites are becoming important on both military and citizens, this step of India will take not only national security but also strategic strength to new heights. In the last 70 years, there have been four wars between India and Pakistan. In the battlefield, Pakistan has had to face again and again, in such a situation, Pakistan can harm Indian satellites in space with its friend China.

China helped Pakistan

According to data from the website N2y0.com, who monitors spacecraft, Pakistan has only eight satellites, while India have more than 100 satellites. At the same time, the number of China’s satellites is more than 900. A research group had said in May that China had helped Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.

India is among the world’s largest arms purchasing countries. The Indian Air Force is retiring its Mig-21 fleet. In such a situation, there is a discussion that India will include other fighter jets in their fleet. Therefore, from America, Russia to France, India is offering offers to buy their fighter jets. Meanwhile, the Defense Secretary of India has given a big statement.

Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said on Friday (September 12, 2025) that India needs to showcase its ‘soft power’ as well as its ‘hard power’ amidst growing competitive populism and economic protectionism worldwide. The Defense Secretary was addressing the Southern Command Defense Tech 2025 Seminar (Strid 2025) in Pune.

Rising wave of nationalism in the world: Rajesh Kumar Singh

Rajesh Kumar Singh said that geopolitical factors associated with the ongoing struggles in West Asia and Europe and the rise of populist leadership around the world have stopped the trend of increasing globalization and free trade. He said, ‘These trends are promoting competitive populistism and economic protectionism around the world, along with economic fragmentation, collapse of multilateral institutions and the rising wave of nationalism is also being seen.’

What did the defense secretary say about the deal?

The Defense Secretary said, “As a result, at a time when strategic bargains you need to be able to demonstrate rigorous power too, the need to show rigorous power in support of soft power is becoming even more important.”

He also said that there is a need to bring together research institutes, private and public sectors like the education world, Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to meet the needs of the country’s armed forces.

India, France and Russia are offering

Let us know that America has the most modern and most dangerous fifth generation fighter jet F-35, but it is quite expensive. Russia’s SU-57 is also a fifth generation stealth fighter jet, it is considered to be a collision of F-35, but it is much cheaper than it. Apart from this, France also wants to sell its Rafael to India. India already have two Squadron of Rafael.

After India’s retaliation after the Pahalgam terror attack, there has been a huge tension between India and Pakistan. Meanwhile, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif will appear on the same day on the United Nations stage. This will be the first time after Operation Sindoor, when PM Narendra Modi and Shahbaz Sharif will be on one platform.

According to the report of Pakistan’s newspaper Dawn, the Prime Minister of both countries will be present in the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) next month. According to the temporary program given by the United Nations, leaders of India and Pakistan will give speeches on the same day. Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi will speak first and Pakistani PM Shahbaz Sharif will speak later. However, Pakistan can also get strategic benefits to Pakistan as Shahbaz Sharif will also get a chance to respond to the issues raised by PM Modi.

When will UNGA meet?

According to Pak media, Shahbaz Sharif will go to attend UNGA meeting with a high level delegation. He will also be accompanied by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, PM’s Foreign Affairs advisor Tariq Fatimi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi can represent India in this session on behalf of India. If this happens, the Prime Minister of both countries will speak on the same day.

The official start of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly will begin on 9 September. In this, high-level general debate will run from 23 to 29 September. The theme of UNGA this year is ‘Better together: 80 years for peace, development and human rights’. According to the program, Brazil will first speak in UNGA. US President Trump will then address the United Nations General Assembly for the first time in his second term.

PM Modi in the morning, Shahbaz Sharif will speak in the evening

According to the UN program, Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi will speak in the morning in this session, while the Prime Minister of Pakistan will give a speech in the evening this day. During this time, Pakistan can once again raise the issue of Kashmir from the international stage. At the same time, India can target Pakistan on terrorism.

When was the operation vermilion?

After the Pahalgam terror attack, India carried out Operation Sindoor. Indian forces entered Pakistan and destroyed terrorist bases. In this operation, more than 100 terrorists of terrorist organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba were killed. Pakistan’s action was shocked by such action of India and then started retaliation. In which India brought Pakistan to his knees. Later, Pakistan contacted the Indian DGMO for ceasefire and then peace was established between the two countries.

Operation Sindoor: During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force used both BrahMos and Scalp missiles to destroy the headquarters of Pakistan terrorist organization Jaish -e -Mohammed and Lashkar -e -Taiba. This is so that Pakistan’s Terror Infrastructure can be maximum damaged.

The Indian Air Force also used the BrahMos missile to ruin Part-2 (morning of May 10) of Operation Sindoor (on the morning of 10 May) i.e. Pakistani Military Infrastructure, which were fired with Sukhoi fighter jets. BrahMos of Sukhoi attacked the Pakistani Air Force Noor Khan, Rahim Yar Khan Base, Bholari Airbase, Jokokabad Base and Kirana Hills (close to which Pakistan’s nuclear stock is hidden) with the BrahMos missile. The scalp missile was used through France’s Rafael (Rafale) fighter jet.

India gives a befitting reply to Bunyan-al-Marsus

India launched Operation Sindoor Part-2, the Pakistani Air Force in protest against the Bunyan-al-Marsus operation as the Pakistani Air Force tried to target India’s airbase and important institutions to respond to the attacks on terrorist bases. For this, the Pakistani Air Force attacked with drones and missiles. These attacks included Adampur Airbase and Haryana’s Sirsa base in Punjab, but in time used the Indian Air Force S-400 missile and MRSAM (Medium Range Surface to Air Missile).

According to the information, during the retaliation of Bunayan Al-Merusus, the Indian Air Force also destroyed a Pakistan reconnaissance aircraft AWACS (AWACS) i.e. Air-Barn Early Warning and Control System. It is believed that the Indian Air Force used the S-400 missile for this. This reconnaissance aircraft named Ary was taken by Pakistan from Sweden and was spying of Indian aircraft during the attack on India. This reconnaissance aircraft was killed by S-400 near Noor Khan Airbase.

5 fighter jets of PAK destroyed in Operation Sindoor-2

A few days ago, ABP News had said that during Operation vermilion part, the Indian Air Force had destroyed at least five aircraft of Pakistan. Among them was a reconnant aircraft of Pakistan and a C-130J Super Hercules Military Transport Aircraft. The C-130 aircraft was gutted in the BrahMos missile attack on Bholari Airbase. The loss of AWACS aircraft was confirmed by a former Air Marshal of the Pakistani Air Force.

During Operation Sindoor on the night of 6-7 May, the Indian Air Force dropped two (02) fighters of Pakistan during the dog-fight in the sky. Both these fighter aircraft were JF-17 or a JF-17 and a Mirage. Because these fighter jets fell in the border of Pakistan, so their debris is not found in India. This is the reason why the Indian Air Force is not very confident about the identity of both these fighter jets.

India also harmed Pakistan’s F-16

It is also reported that F-16 fighter jet has also suffered a loss on Jokokabad airbase of Pakistan. Due to the fear of America, Pakistan did not blow these F-16, but F-16 aircraft were damaged in the Indian attack in the hangar of Jokokabad Airbase. During India’s attack, Pakistan used more and more JF-17, J-10 and Mirage fighter jets. Pakistan has prepared JF-17 in its country with the help of China. J-10 is bought from China and Miraj was bought from France in the 80s.

India destroyed 9 terrorist bases

According to the Indian Air Force, a total of 09 terrorist bases in Pakistan were destroyed during Operation Sindoor. Also, 11 airbases of Pakistani Air Force were ruined during Operation Sindoor Part-2. Apart from this, the Indian Air Force targeted the Radar Station in Lahore and Karachi and the Air Defense System (HQ-9) in Lahore and Karachi via Harop and Haropi Loatering Munition (Drone). It was the result of India’s tremendous retaliation that Pakistan raised hands on the morning of May 10 and demanded a ceasefire. In the afternoon, Pakistani DGMO spoke to the Indian counterpart on the hotline and both countries agreed to postpone military conflict.

Us-pakistan crypto deal: A few days before the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir and India’s military response, operations vermilion, a high-profile crypto deal in Pakistan was signed. The deal is now under investigation between both India and America, as it has revealed the participation of US President Donald Trump’s family and Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir. The deal took place between the American crypto firm World Liberty Financial and Pakistan’s newly formed Pakistan Crypto Council. After the information of the deal came out, there is deep concern among political and security experts.

The World Liberty Financial is an American Crypto and Fintech company, with Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump, Donald Trump Junior and his son -in -law Jered Kushner jointly holds a 60 percent share. The firm agreed to a blockchain -based partnership with Pakistan in April 2025. The agreement was reached with Pakistan’s Crypto Council, which is a new institution. The council appointed Changpeng Jhao, the founder of Benance Exchange for credibility as consultant. The objective of this council is to make Pakistan the Crypto capital of South Asia.

A delegation from America reached Pakistan
A delegation from the US reached Pakistan to sign the agreement, including the founder of the firm Zachari Vitchoff. Jachari is the son of Steve Witchoff, who has been Trump’s old business allies and is now a special messenger of America for the Middle East. The most important thing is that Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir himself welcomed this team and held a meeting with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in a closed room. The meeting of this closed room and the participation of the army chief has given this agreement ahead of the general business agreement.

Doubt about the timing of the deal
Pakistan’s Crypto Council and World Liberty Financial issued a statement, calling it a technical support. It states that the purpose of this deal is to promote financial inclusion and digital change in Pakistan. Under this, it has been said to integrate blockchain technology in government institutions, develop stables and implement the crypto based pilot projects, but the timing of this deal and the background of the people involved have been seen as a strategic deal instead of general investment.

Concern about the deal
Many strategic experts and security analysts in India have expressed concern about this deal. He says that this agreement can be used for covering Pakistan’s terrorist financing structure and financial manipulation. Especially when India’s military reaction operations vermilion has caused tremendous loss to the terrorist structure in Pakistan. The time of this deal and the role of the people involved on it is being doubted.

Waiting for statement from White House
There is no statement from the Trump family and the White House in the US so far. World Liberty Financial has definitely said that there is no political intention behind this deal, but strategic analysts believe that deals beyond such transparency can cause a big geopolitical crisis in future.

Stress in Indo-America-Pakistan relations
The deal, which came immediately after military action like Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, adds a new and complex chapter to the Indo-US-Pakistan relations. It is becoming clear that future strategic battles will be fought not only with weapons but also through financial and technological alliance. Until the whole truth of this deal is revealed, the question would continue to arise whether this deal was for technological development or was there any hidden political and security agenda behind it?
