Hey Guys, Long time no see. I am Back now and will be posting regularly on matters of our community and interests.

So, many people were thinking that this struggle between Iran and US may finally come to an end when the peace talks began, but as I stated in my previous posts, that this war will continue despite such news, because peace is not in the favour of US in this matter. Lets dig deep.

So, US has now finally conducted fresh strikes on Iran, that too mid peace talks which Trump was saying were going on pretty well previously. Iran too retaliated by attacking US bases. The thing is, this is going to continue most likely. The US is only acting as if it wants peace. It will make it look that way and will most likely keep developing his ground forces to launch a full strike. It will keep showing it wants peace cuz, who dosen't like moral high ground. It will at the same time keep developing its forces so much so that it will be too much for Iran to ignore and once it launches strikes, it will give US a viable reason to launch a full strike. US is currently striking to provoke Iran to do some movements so it can frame Iran most likely.

This is a very crucial time for Iran because the threat for IRGC is existential. US will not leave Iran like this, because since US has provoked Iran to this extent, it has given Iran both Political will and Public support to develop Nuclear Weapons, and it will, if US and Iran get on a peace deal (As we discussed earlier).

Lets see, what happens next. What do you think? Can this de-escalate according to you? Let me Know. To all Indians who enjoy our content, please join "BharatDefense" and "BharatReforms" to support us and to contribute.

As I had mentioned in one of my previous posts regarding Israeli PM Netanyahu's declaration that Israel will not participate in any ground invasion in Iran. Why? Because Iran is the distraction, the real target which people are still not realising is Lebanon.

Israel has its target clear, it will attack Lebanon as soon as US declares ground Invasion of Iran and it will destroy Hezbollah and may capture a chunk of Lebanese Land.

We are leading towards a the 3rd World war guys. The chances exist, but they are not that much as much people are exaggerating.why? Well because a world war will not happen unless major powers (US, Russia, China and India) will come face to face in any conflict.

Most likely what can happen, US may do a ground invasion in Iran, toppling the current government and establishing its puppet government, Russia will then annex Ukraine and establish its own puppet government there because they will now have a good excuse for it (Only if Russia makes the choice of trading Iran for Ukraine), China will annex Taiwan and India will take back POK from Pakistan and Aksai Chin from China. Though the last one has some chances of direct confrontations between major powers (India and China), but China is smart, it will never fight a two front war, it must abandon Aksai Chin to take Taiwan, because that is its utmost priority.

US will most likely either stayout if China invades Taiwan or will show minimal support because it will be engaged in Iran.

DRDO has recently unveiled its new future- ready indigenous armoured veichles. Vikram VT21 platform has been designed and developed by DRDO's Vehicle Research Development Laboratory and manufactured in collaboration with Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) attended the inauguration ceremony.

These systems are highly capable as they have ballistic level protection that too in just 15 tons of weight which is a very big achievement.

This system throws American Stryker totally even out of consideration let alone procurement. These indigenous system are amphibians which means they can operate in both land and water which the Stryker cannot even think about.

designed for deployment in diverse terrain like Ladakh, desert regions and etc. They can carry up to 8 to 10 fully equipped soldiers. Both platforms have been integrated with indigenously designed and developed 30-mm crewless turret, with advanced features to meet mobility, firepower and protection requirement.

So, we have finally came to a point where the things are again spicing up. Many people are currently making fun of US for blockading a strait that is already blocked, it is funny yes, but it is also effective.

So we all know, there is currently a ceasefire between them, and US during this time has blockaded strait of hormuz, not allowing Iranian vessels to pass to Iranian ports, which forced Iran to reverse its decision to open strait of Hormuz.

Why is it clever? If Iran retaliates before or after the end of ceasefire in April 22nd, then US will shout to the world "Look, they attacked first" and then would have a viable reason to attack. If Iran does not attack, then it will be as if getting choked in your own home by an external power, eventually getting overpowered in your own area.

What I am saying, is that in any of the cases, if US has decided for a ground invasion, then yes, it it s inevitable, however things will be completely different if US lifts the blockade, which does not seem to happening.

The best thing Iran can do, they can lift the blockade from their side and give an ultimatum to US to do the reciprocal by any due date, failing to which it would re-block the strait. This way, atleast Iran will have the moral higher ground and will not be termed as the "escalator" in this conflict. Though conflict will still be inevitable. Thats my view. What do you think? Let me know.

As we all are seeing, Indian SSBN and SSN Programmes are moving pretty smoothly, but while this, we are significantly struggling with delays with general Disel Electric submarines. This is mainly because in the case of SSN and SSBN, it approach is quiet centralised as it is a matter of utmost priority, but it is not the same with Disel Electric Submarines.

We need some key reforms which centralise the approach or atleast make a body which looks on these projects on the behalf of the centre to help projects meet timelines, because as many DRDO scientists and even many bureaucrats have said, "We struggle not due to lack of technology but due to inefficient Bureaucracy".

India struggles significantly with less complex conventional diesel-electric submarines (SSKs), as exemplified by Project 75 (P-75), initiated in 2007 to build six Scorpene-class SSKs with air-independent propulsion (AIP) and land-attack capabilities at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in collaboration with France's Naval Group. Despite being conceptually simpler than nuclear submarines, P-75 faced protracted delays, with the lead boat INS Kalvari commissioned only in 2017—well beyond the original 2017 completion target—and the program stretching into 2025, leaving the Navy with critically low submarine numbers as ageing Sindhughosh-class vessels approach 40-45 years of service.

I suggest that there should be body which checks developmental targets of all the projects. The goverenment should be able to appoint a specific development of a programme or its acquisition as "Project of Importance". This body would keep and eye on the project growth, wheather it is achieving timelines or not and it will submit a bi-annual report to the goverenment. If slacking, this body will have the power to investigate and suggest possible solutions.

Recently, Donald Trump has been saying that they are going to stop attacks on Iran very soon saying that Tehran has the "Will" for ceasefire. But does USA really plan to leave Iran? Iran on the other hand has been saying that USA is negotiating with itself.

Do you really think USA will leave Iran? Not at all, because if they do it now, mark my words, 'Iran will make Nuclear Weapons within a year'. This invasion has given them them not just the political will but also the resources required to do so, as we are seeing a new alliance nexus in building i.e North Korea, Iran, China and Russia. Iran now has a justifiable reason to make Nuclear bombs and legitimise them.

And this is exactly why USA cannot leave now. They cannot afford a nuclear powered Iran and hence this ceasefire tactics seems no more than a method to buy some time for ground invasion.

The toughest part for USA will be 'Iranian Terrain and its blessed Geography'. This is exactly why US's Operation Eagle Claw failed. I may hate US for its lack of morality at times, but what I absolutely admire about it is its ability to learn from its mistakes. Its hard to believe that after that failed operation USA would have sat idly. They must have learned about Iranian Geography and what systems will be most suitable against them, and if that is so, this will be a major problem for Iran if USA plans ground invasion. USA's all time friend Israel too has declared that they will not deploy troops in Iran in case of any ground invasion, which I had anticipated because Israel's priorities are set. They want Lebanon, and once USA is engaged in Iran, Israel will let its army loose on Lebanon, hence taking a big chunk of Lebanon and destroying Hezbollah.

If USA really goes foots on the ground in Iran, no matter how harsh it sounds, but in current world order, no country stands near USA in raw power, USA will eventually emerge victorious and if that happens, Russia can simply annex Ukraine as it will then have a legitimate reason. Can be called a silent deal between two. If the war is too prolonged, China can eventually seize the opportunity and invade Taiwan, which might not get US support as it would be engaged in Iran and at the same time. That would be the perfect time for India as well to take all of Kashmir from Pakistan and China, India can easily overpower Pakistan and China will never engage on a two front war, it will obviously choose Taiwan over Aksai Chin as Taiwan is the means for CPC to legitimise itself. We can say, it will be like a silent deal between major powers, ofcourse only if USA does a ground invasion.

Recently, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has said that they have opened the strait of Hormuz for some friendly nations namely, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and Iraq. Only these five nation's vessels have access through and from, of Strait of Hormuz.

Due to the delays in the delievery of oil vessels, Indian goverenment has reduced duties drastically, as to avoid sudden increase in prices of petrol and disel.

This is particularly a good news for India, as now we will be out of any kind of oil scarcity danger. This also shows friendly ties of India with Iran.

For the positive diplomatic efforts of the goverenment, I feel they deserve a raise, atleast for now. So, kudos guys, we are back on business.

So, we have came to point from where we can say US is ready to negotiate with Iran but the thing is that maybe Iran is not ready to negotiate with US. The US has pushed forward its 15 point plan to Iran for Ceasefire through Pakistan.

Yeah..... Pakistan. The same Pakistan that attacked Iran in 2022, saying it was funding terrorism. Pakistan is currently confused regarding who to side with, should it side with one of its biggest monetary ally, US (a.k.a Sugar Daddy) or its so called Islamic brother Iran.

Iran has replied to this with: US is 'negotiating with itself

I think it is perfect opportunity for India to step in. Unlike Pakistan, India has good relation with Israel and US and as well as Iran. India can professionally conduct peace talks, these will greatly favour us.

If the current regime falls and Reza Pehalvi ascends to power, he will be no more than a US puppet. Even historically they have opposed us, like during 1971 Indo-Pak war. Not to mention, the power imbalance caused due to this, with Russian influence reducing significantly will be only negative for us. US can also use Iran in such a situation to pressurise India along with Pakistan then, which we must avoid at all cost. Many people may fantasize about Israel-India friendship, but they forget that all international relations are interest based. Many Indians forget that this same Israel refused to term people who executed the 26/11 terror attack on India as terrorists until only lately.

In the dark of the night, Israel has struck Iranian facilities linked to South Pars, the largest natural gas field in the world, moving ahead towards a serious escalation.

Many Arabian countries like Oman have condemned the attack, calling it as a "Serious Escalation". Even the US President Donald Trump is against further strikes on Energy infrastructures in Iran (Yeah, how will USA loot them after regime change if that happens). But, we all know Israel, they rarely oblige to US desires.

Iran has already started to retaliate, launching strikes on significant energy facilities across the Persian Gulf.

India has showed its desire to acquire additional 5 Squadrons of S-400 Missile Defense system after its huge success during Operation Sindoor.

The S-400 provided excellent deterrence against Pakistani Missiles, Drones and even aircrafts. The system also achieved a legendary feat against Pakistan last year, where they also secured the longest ever air kill when a high-value Pakistani spy plane was hit by the S-400 missile.

The Defence Ministry will soon take up the case to clear the Indian Air Force proposal to buy the additional five squadrons of the Russian air defence missile systems, which will be deployed on both the eastern and western front.

As we all know, India is itself also working on its own missile defense system under "Project Kusha". The defense system will still be very relevant even after this procurement of additional units of S-400, because it is planned that India will fulfill its requirement of Long Range defense system by acquiring in total 10 Squadrons of S-400 and 15 Squadrons of Indigenous Project Kusha defense system which will provide maximum range of 350 Km.

Today, Israel attacked Oil Depots in Tehran, which caused a humongous fire and smoke cloud. The locals described the attack as "Apocalyptic". It was literally to them like the earth was going to end.

US upon being notified of the attack, many sources claim US sent a WTF message to Israel. This can be marked as the first dispute between these two allies since the start of their attacks on Iran.

Iran has retaliated by attacking Oil Depots of Israel in Haifa. The damage has been reported significant. The question is, will this 'Oil Brawl' stop? Will USA be able to protect the destruction of the very thing it wants monopoly on? Will USA be able to stop or atleast make Israel less aggressive?

I don't think so, because Israel on such matters rarely listens to USA. But yes, it may reduce attacks on oil resources for sure, but stopping is not a question, not until the US contribution in war is at stake atleast.

Today on Saturday, Iran has expressed its gratitude by thanking India for offering safe harbour to IRIS Lavan, one of Iranian warships in Kochi.

This act of India potentially saved Iranian vessel from the same fate as of IRIS Dena which was destroyed by US Submarines in Indian Ocean Region. Iran has officially showed its gratitude by saying "It reflects friendly ties".

Do you see the pattern. Iran declares Indian vessels can pass through starit of Hormuz, India on the same day condemns Khamenei's death. USA tries to order India around by giving its so called permission no one cares about to India for buying Russian oil, and now, India is supporting Iran against US navy by letting Iranian vessels dock at its dockyards.

The leadership of USA is currently worse than exernal enemies of USA, because they are eating it from the inside out like a termite. They think they can order people around and that is what is making majority of nations sick.

USA should stop and think about its foreign policy and expression for a bit.

It appears that India has successfully protected its interests in the Arabian sea. Iran has declared that the Strait of Hormuz, from where 20% of world's total oil flows will remain open for India and China.

It has declared that it is only closed for US allies and Israel.

Don't you see a pattern. The news was of around yesterday and today suddenly India has officially condemned the Death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayotollah Khamenei. It appears India negotiated about diplomatic support to Iran in exchange for the right to pass through strait of Hormuz and in return has also condemned the death of Khamenei.

I think now Indian ships have minimal danger as collateral damage is impossible to avoid, but US-Israel will not attack Indian cargo ships, same cannot be said about Chinese cargos, as they maybe safe from Iran's side but US-Israel remain a constant threat for them. India on the other hand, as it has appeared by recent development, seems to be safe from both the sides. We need to praise GOI and External Ministry of Affairs for this, yeah not too much, because things can still go wrong. We must not let our guard down.

A lot going on in the Middle East. And seems China has successfully safeguarded it's interest with ease. Seems like India realises again that only Russia is its long term and time tested ally who has shown willingness to export more crude to india. Even a Iran Naval ship which was in India for Naval exercise and now while returning back was destroyed by a US submarine in Indian ocean close to Srilanka. Will Iran allowing Chinese cargo through Strait of Hormuz Help keep Crude price in check a bit considering China is the biggest importer of crude? I think the major reason that Iran is allowing oil to china is because china buys 80% of iran's oil exports, iran needs money to fight war and keeping their trade running is the way to go. China always supports iran in such conflicts which is why it is considered more important "ally" than other countries. India has always taken a neutral stand in middle eastern matters so we dont get the pass. Plus, Iran's strategy is to impact oil trades between other middle east countries and rest of the world so panic sets in and US is forced to retreat. Strait of hormuz is their only negotiation tool. Kind of like india has indus water control to keep pak in check. Your thoughts regarding the matter????

So, the so called messenger of peace who was telling how many jets India and Pakistan lost in conflict has confirmed that 3 of its F-15 fighter jets have fell.

They claim this was due to friendly fire, as Kuwait failed to recognise they were US jets. Now we don't know if that is really true or US is just saying that to save its reputation. The thing is, Iran uses very old jets, the fact of Iran felling 3 jets is only possible if the Air defense system is not that ancient.

But Yes, US is having material losses, that is confirmed, eventhough by their own allies, if we accept their claim for a moment, which still to me sounds fishy.

Today on Monday, Afghan Airforce (Yeah, that's a thing) struck multiple Pak Airbases with Drones including the Nur Khan airbase, which got famous after India damaged highly during operation Sindoor and yet, it still preserves its famous spot, thanks to Taliban.

Not just Nur Khan, the taliban also struck 12th Corps headquarters in Quetta, the Khowizoo Camp in Mohmand Agency of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the Ghulni military bases, with the help of drone aircraft.

A video has also been shared on social media platforms by the Afghan Air Force showing a drone attack on the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi. The attack has been said to be in response of the Air Strikes conducted by PAF.

The thing is, do you note the targets and the thing most mysterious, how did Taliban breach the air defense with drones. This is not possible without info and why did they chose these specific targets, most of which got struck by India during Operation Sindoor.

The point I am making is that maybe, India is supporting Afghan Taliban against Pakistan by giving military info on how to breach chinese air defense and also suggesting targets like the Nur Khan to further humiliate Pakistan. Because this cannot be co-incidence, though the damage incurred has not been specified, but thats just Pakistan as you know, they never tell their losses early.

President Trump yesterday on Sunday made a claim that they have sunk 9 Iranian Warships. This is most likely a reaction to attacks conducted on US Carrier USS Abraham Lincon. Though the attacks by Fattah 2 Hypersonic Glide Veichle (HGV) were neutralised, still it was regarded as a offense daring enough for USA to consider completely neutralising Iranian Navy.

The US claims it further aspires to hunt down more iranian vessels. Point to be noted is that Iran hasn't acknowledged that 9 of its warships have been sunk, so the claim still remains a mystery. US claims it sunk "Jamaran-class" corvette at a Chabahar pier in southern Iran during Operation Epic Fury.

But the way things have escalated, a naval combat cannot be called a hypothetical scenario.

India should focus on keeping its assets in Iran safe such as the Chabahar Port which India has leased, India should keep coordinating with both US-Israel and Iran simulataneously to ensure this.

I have a theory but I can't prove it. Remember, recently before the attack, PM Modi went to Israel and was honoured highly, I think he was informed regarding the joint attack to be conducted and was requested to stay neutral and India in return negotiated that its assets in Iran like Chabahar port must remain safe form any attacks. That is why there has been no loss of Indian assets, which is good.

The news just got confirmed that supreme leader of Iran Ali Khamenei is dead. The news has been confirmed by Iran state media.

This explains the Iranian reaction of why all the neighbouring countries having US bases were attacked, it was due to the fact that Khamenei was dead.

There were celebrations in many parts of Iran, many saw these strikes as their sign of liberation by greater powers like Israel and USA.

Iran's future still remains uncertain with one thing confirmed that Pro-US and Pro-Israel consensus to increase, but still to what extent.

Recently today on 28 Feb, 2026, US and Israel conducted joint missile strikes in Iran at multiple cities including its capital Tehran. In these missile strikes, 40 people have been killed in Iran. Trump has urged at regime change in Iran while Israel has called this operation 'Roaring Lion'.

Iran too has retaliated by conducting missile strikes at multiple US bases in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE etc and has also attacked Israel.

Chinese MSS has told that Khameni is currently safe by showing some satellite proofs claiming thathe had already left that facility early due to some security reasons.

India needs to closely monitor the situation as a regime change could completely shift the balance of power, Russian influence in middle east would drop down to near zero with US dominance becoming a greater problem to deal with. Not to mention, India has acquired the Chabhar port from Iran recently so the best interest for India would be to ensure that this stops.

India has formally requested Dassault to place its bid for 114 Rafael Jet.

The MRFA program, as per the Acceptance of Neccessity (AoN) the minimum value allocated for it is Rs 2.5 Lakh Crore, for acquiring F4 and potential F5 variants. It is cleared that a comprehensive plan is to be submitted regarding per jet cost, Make in India component percentage and with a gaurantee that atleast 96 jets will be produced inside India.

Negotiations will continue and will emphasise on increasing indigenous content that has been seen to be less than expected to that of 50-60% or more.

The deal structure is goverenment to goverenment. The final assembly line (FAL) is expected at Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL) as per their partnership.

TATA Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) is already constructing a dedicated faclity and Hyderabad to manufacture Rafael Fuelsage systems at a number of 24 annually.

Based on its performance, navy is also expecting to procure 24 additional naval versions of rafael.

Lets hope for the best guys, even if indigenous content is a bit less, we should make sure we get key technology and not delay the project further.

Recently in the presence of Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, successful full afterburner test of the Kaveri engine was done at the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) in Bangalore.

The event showcased a new design with significant changes in Partnership with BrahMos Aerospace, this finally shows some development in this decade old project.

The afterburner, however, has historically posed the greatest hurdle. Earlier iterations managed only around 73 kN of wet thrust, which, while promising, did not match the performance of contemporary low-bypass turbofans. For general, the GE F-404 engine for Tejas Mk1 produces and afterburner thrust of 84Kn, a 70 per cent augmentation. Modern designs typically achieve 60-80 per cent thrust increases, depending on operational conditions and engineering refinements. The new Kaveri engine with new KDE core gives a thrust in afterburner of 81-83Kn or 79-81Kn on the safer side.

I think it is a good news and not DRDO should focus on reducing weight of the engine to increase thrust to weight ratio and finally, these can be tested on Tejas.

The proposal to acquire 114 Rafael Jets will be kept infront of Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), led by Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh after the visit of french president, Emmanuel Macron.

After this, it is expected that Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) will be granted, marking the first formal procedure for procurement.

It is planned that 18 Rafaels of this initial slot will be manufactured completely in France, while the other 96 will be manufactured in India under the partnership with suitable Indian Private firms.

This shows that Rafael were actually effective during Operation Sindoor, during which Rafael equipped with SCALP missiles, METEOR missiles and Hammer Precision guided munitions neutralised many terror camps, Pakistan Air Force Air bases and even enemy Fighter jets.

Guys, I can't believe it 😭 😭 This project (MRFA) was started in 2008, when I was born, I thought I will see procurement only after I pass out from college, finally these idiots are speeding things up, after 18 years, isn't it motivating 🤪 . This project alone saw 2 different Party's governance, it was initiated during INC rule, with ending in clashes with Rafael, but finally, a middle ground has been found.

For the first time ever in the history of Indian Aeronautics, HAL, the primary goverenment aeronautics company is out of a significant project like Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA).

The HAL has been removed due to the current large orders it is yet to deliever of 180 Tejas and 150 LCH Prachand. After some significant delays in both delievery of existing platforms and in development of prototype of AMCA, such a move has been made.

The three short listed companies out of 7 for this project are Tata, L&T (with BEL & Dynamatic Technologies) and Bharat Forge of Kalyani Group (with BEML & Data Patterns.

The final company yet to be chosen within 3 months will make 5 prototypes of AMCA with Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA).

I think this is a positive approach as by doing so we make sure we don't get over dependent on HAL and also by doing so we will have one more Company capable of making such advanced fighter jets, giving India more than one option in future.

During the Operation Sindoor of Indian Military on Pakistan, a chinese PL-15 missile was reported to been shot by Pakistani Fighter Jet but did neither did it hit its target nor did it blast on impact, hence it was confiscated by India as it fell in Indian territory.

Since then, there have been claims that India has reverse engineered it to upgrade its existing Astra air-to-air missile system.

The claims have been shut down by Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE), a key pillar of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), claiming that this is completely the result of Indigenous advancements and not some stolen tech. He emphasized that the work on extending range of Astra Mk-1 from 110Km to 160Km and Astra Mk-2 from 160Km to 240Km was on priority from the very start and denied any such claims of reverse engineering.

India and EU has signed a one of its own type deal of the decade on today 27th Jan 2026. This pact will not only help India in approaching its goal of "Make in India" but also paves a way for multiple Joint ventures.

With this, we can say that Trump has forced the EU to work and implement its China+1 Strategy, according to which EU will focus that it does not get depended completely on China and they do a big chunk of trade with some other country as well and in this case, It is going to be India.

The fact that this is not completely on desperation that only India can Replace China, but also on the fact that for the first time in history, both EU and India are pissed so significantly from USA, so much so that they form a security pact like this.

This opens doors for India in Indo-Pacific and also expands EU's presence in Indian Ocean to some extent.
