In this issue

Geopolitics’ February, 2023 Special Issue primarily focusses on the Aero India event in Bengaluru. The edition analyses the evolving India-USA strategic partnership which will reduce India’s dependence on Russia. The issue also carries comprehensive articles on the strategic significance of having road-runways in India, usage of business jets as spy jets for military operations, Atmanirbharta in combat aircraft technologies, the importance of possessing hypersonic weapons, and the urgent need of operationalising the much-awaited Agni-6 (Intercontinental-range Ballistic Missile) with a 3-tonne payload capability at the earliest. Detailed reports on the Indian Air Force’s increasing offensive capabilities against China, IAF’s indigenous endeavours, induction of LCH into the IAF fleet, boosting defence R&D, stimulating the drone fleet of the Indian armed forces, make the edition a very interesting read. Features on the difficult lessons which can be learned by India from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Indian Air Force’s theaterisation quagmire, plus- interviews of a number of industry leaders bring the issue to a logical conclusion. Two Panorama presentations, on ISRO’s new SSLV rocket and the upcoming mission to the sun (Aditya-L1), is also featured in the magazine. The February, 2023 edition of the publication is a must-read for everyone.

BEYOND COMBAT AIRCRAFTS

Much of the attention that is focused on the Indian Air Force scrutinises the IAF's fighter aircraft fleet and its decline from a peak of 39.5 combat squadrons. Insufficient attention is paid to the other important, indeed, vital, elements of the IAF which include the air defence network of radars and missiles, the transport and helicopter fleets and the aircraft used therein. These are all worth examining on their own merit,
