Magazine Description
In this issue
Geopolitics’ February, 2021 edition mainly focusses on the recently held and globally acclaimed ‘Aero India-2021’ exhibition in Bengaluru. The special issue analyses the importance of having a robust and indigenous domestic defence industrial base for manufacturing superior quality weapon systems and aerospace products in order to make India an export hub of the world over the coming years. The edition also carries detailed articles on affordable airpower in the 21st century, augmenting the airlift capability of the Indian Air Force through acquisitions of newer platforms, DAP-2020, IAF’s combat capabilities and gaps, critical roles of MSMEs in defence production, the pivotal role played by unmanned aerial vehicles in modern warfare, and the importance of game changing loitering munitions in the battlefield. The issue also carries extensive features on India’s evolving cutting-edge anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic missile shield, the viability of leasing advanced weapon systems from abroad, and the evergreen Russian factor in modernisation of the Indian Air Force which can’t be ignored. Comprehensive writeups on nano-drone technology, rotary-winged unmanned air systems (RUAS), and a post-Rafale future of the IAF make the edition a highly enlightening read and take it to a logical conclusion. The February, 2021 edition of the magazine is a must-read for all.
