Geopolitics - June 2019

I dette nummeret

Geopolitics’ June 2019 issue focuses on smart and modern weapons for the 21st century battlefield. The edition analyses the urgent need for India to develop Electromagnetic Pulse-based nuclear weapons taking into consideration the evolving security situation in South Asia. The issue also highlights IAF’s and Indian Navy’s immediate requirement for more numbers of AWACS systems. The edition also carries comprehensive articles on India’s night fighting capabilities and the country’s ambitious goal of colonising space by sending manned missions. The Tech Scan writeups on the induction of INS Vela into the Indian Navy and handing over of the first batch of Apache attack helicopters to the Indian Air Force also make interesting reads. Additionally, the issue also carries exclusive interviews of Praveen Pathak, Chief General Manager (Marketing Promotion & Export), BrahMos Aerospace Limited and Sunil Raina, Managing Director, Avionics and Mission Systems, Collins Aerospace. The special photo feature on ISRO’s RISAT-2B launch, and the two detailed articles on Indo-Iranian relations and the possible repercussions of the terror bombings in Sri Lanka on South Asia’s security apparatus takes the issue to a logical conclusion. Plus, two book reviews: Martyrdom to Freedom and Rakshanda Jalil’s ‘Jallianwala Bagh - Literary Responses in Prose and Poetry’ make the edition a must pick-up.
