En este asunto

Geopolitics’ October, 2022 Special Issue primarily focusses on the Defence Expo event in Ahmedabad. The edition analyses the evolving tank fleet of the Indian Army. The issue also carries comprehensive articles on the Indian military’s helicopter fleet, investing in artificial intelligence for the Indian Navy, the role of CDS, the opportunities for the private sector in India’s aerospace and defence industry, the journey of HAL to global prominence, and the rise of China as a global superpower. Detailed reports on the ongoing race between F/A-18 and Rafale for the Indian Navy’s deck-based fighter competition, and the recently held Police Expo in Delhi makes the edition a very interesting read. Features on the strategic significance of indigenisation of aircraft engines, MSME participation in defence manufacturing, and transformative challenges for the Indian Air Force, plus- interviews of a number of industry leaders bring the issue to a logical conclusion. The October, 2022 edition of the magazine is a must-read for everyone.
