Geopolitics’ June, 2022 issue mainly focusses on the evolution of BrahMos as a world-class supersonic cruise missile. The edition analyses the significance of acquiring cutting-edge mobility solutions for the Indian Army.

Detailed news features on smart and lethal weapons, the recently held HeliRussia exhibition in Moscow, and the strategic significance of Quad make the edition an interesting read. The Periscope section carries a writeup on the recent launch of Surat and Udaygiri battleships. The Panorama section carries two detailed presentations on China’s predatory policies in Pacific islands, and the Indian Navy’s efforts towards choosing a modern combat aircraft, which take the issue to a logical conclusion. The June, 2022 edition of the magazine is a must-read for everyone.
