Geopolitics - September 2022

I denne utgaven

Geopolitics’ September, 2022 edition mainly focusses on the Indian Army’s artillery modernisation programme. The issue analyses the significance of boosting India-Israel strategic ties. The edition also carries comprehensive articles on encouraging the private sector to produce small arms in India, the strategic importance of the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), and the SPRINT initiative. Two reports on the successful operationalisation of INS Vikrant, and the upcoming launch of Artemis-1 mission by NASA makes the issue a very interesting read. The Diplomacy section carries a feature on engaging with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and its international recognition. The Periscope section carries a writeup on the recent launch of ISRO’s SSLV (Small Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket which can easily be converted to a superheavy Indian thermonuclear ICBM (Intercontinental-range Ballistic Missile) with global strike capabilities in the near future. Two focus features on India-Russia nuclear cooperation, and Nexter’s new age artillery systems brings the edition to a logical conclusion. The September, 2022 issue of the magazine is a must-read for everybody.
