Geopolitics Magazine - January 2020

In this issue

Geopolitics’ January, 2020 edition focusses on modernisation of the Indian Army. The Cover Story is on the union government’s half-hearted efforts towards hiring a credible Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) for the Indian armed forces. The issue carries detailed articles on India’s military satellites, future weapons wishlist of the Indian Army, and India’s artillery modernisation programme. The edition also carries detailed writeups on network-centric warfare for joint operations. The ‘Diplomacy’ section contains articles on the future prospects of India-China relations. The ‘Periscope’ section carries a report on guided Pinaka-Mark-2 rocket launcher’s successful test. The ‘Global Watch’ section contains a feature on NASAMS-2 air-defence system’s role in securing Australian airspace. The ‘Tech Scan’ section carries a report on the third successful test-flight of BrahMos air-launched supersonic cruise missile from an Indian Airforce Sukhoi-30MKI fighter aircraft, which rendered the new-generation weapon system fully operational. A Photo Feature on RISAT-2BR1 satellite’s successful launch by ISRO and exclusive interviews of three prominent industry leaders in the DefBiz section make the issue a very interesting read for all. Plus, a book review- Apratim Mukarji’s ‘Annihilating the Demons of Sri Lanka: An Unfinished Story’, takes the edition to a wonderful conclusion. The ‘new-year’ special issue is a must-have for everyone.
