India is hosting the 46th ATCM in Kochi, Kerala, from May 20 to 30. Delegates from 56 member countries of the Antarctic Treaty are attending this event, which is organized by the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
The move towards 'made in India' IGLA-S missiles signifies a proactive effort to reduce dependency on imports and enhance India's defence capabilities. By localising the production process, India aims to safeguard against potential supply shocks, a timely consideration given the disruptions in Russia's arms exports caused by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine
The enduring menace of biological weapons rests on their elusive nature, cost-effectiveness, and ease of production, rendering them an appealing choice for terrorists. Shockingly economical, the estimated cost of a biological weapon stands at a mere 0.05 percent of its conventional counterpart, while still capable of inflicting mass casualties per square kilometre.
The evolving threat landscape includes concerns about the potential for deranged individuals or terrorist organisations to manufacture or steal biological weapons. This emerging security challenge underscores the need for ongoing vigilance and cooperation to prevent the misuse of biological agents and mitigate the risks associated with their proliferation.
While space-based technology is invaluable for many purposes, it does have limitations when it comes to instantaneous detection of small-scale, fast-moving events, like rocket attacks launched by non-state actors.
These drones continue to evolve, both in terms of their applications and the energy sources that power them, making them indispensable tools in addressing various civil needs and improving emergency response and public safety efforts.
In this exploration, we delve into the military capabilities of Israel and Iran, examining the factors that contribute to their power, the technological advancements that define their armed forces and the strategic considerations that underpin their defence postures.
Israel's armed forces consist of 169,500 active-duty personnel across the army, navy, and paramilitary units. Notably, a robust reserve force of 465,000 individuals strengthens the nation's defense, with an additional 8,000 dedicated to the paramilitary
Unlike conventional missiles that rely on limited fuel, this nuclear propulsion system offers the missile an unprecedented range, theoretically allowing it to travel vast distances without refueling
Over the years, these missiles have evolved, and testing has indicated the continuous development of Israel's missile technologies. The Jericho missile systems have not only contributed to Israel's defence but also had regional and global implications, influencing geopolitical dynamics
