🚨🚨Canada selects Germany’s TKMS Over South Korea’s Hanwha for Submarine Deal: Initial Reports

Canada initiated the CPSP procurement in 2021 to replace the Victoria-class submarines, which are at the final leg of their service life. The country has long sought to replace them with 12 cutting-edge diesel-electric submarines with specialized under-ice capabilities.

According to some estimates, the acquisition cost could reach $24-30 billion, while the total cost over three decades, or the next 30 years, including lifetime maintenance and support, could reach $100 billion.

[EurAsian Times @THEEURASIATIMES]

Fighter jets escorting Indian PM Narendra Modi’s aircraft during visits to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel have been widely celebrated as a powerful symbol of India’s rising global stature. While the imagery is undoubtedly impressive, such aerial escorts are a common diplomatic practice worldwide, not unique to India. But yes, India does share very very special ties with all three nations #Israel, #SaudiArabia, and #UAE.

🚨🇵🇰PAKISTAN Bloodbath: 5 Terror Attacks in Just 15 Days & 50+ Dead.

⚡️Pakistan Army Basks in Glory Amid Relentless Terror Attacks at Home

On May 7th, six people, including two children, were killed when mortar shells hit a market in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

On May 10th, Militants detonated a car bomb at a checkpoint in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and opened fire on police, killing at least 15 and wounding three.

On May 12th, a suicide bomber in a three-wheel vehicle laden with explosives killed at least nine people and wounded 34 others in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

On May 14th, at least five soldiers and seven militants were killed in clashes in Balochistan due to an IED Blast.

On May 15th, militants attacked a security compound in northwest Pakistan with an explosives-laden truck and gunfire, killing at least 9 paramilitary troops.

This is just in 15 days of May!

Clearly, while Field Marshal Asim Munir’s forces project strength abroad — be it in Riyadh or in brokering US-Iran talks — they are struggling to secure their own cantonments and borders.

🚨Chinese Invasion of Taiwan "Off The Cards"?

Veteran journalist @prakashnanda explains why the Trump-Xi Summit brings hope for Taiwan.

There is an emerging school of thought among strategic experts that, rather than military challenges, non-military reasons will make Xi Jinping think many times before resorting to force in dealings with Taiwan.

🚨Coup in Russia, Kremlin in ❌Lockdown: Western Intel Claims Putin Under Fire? True or DisInfo?

The top leadership in the Kremlin has been on a high alert since the beginning of March, adding a double layer of security around Putin and dramatically reducing his public appearances to avert any such attack.

In fact, such is the paranoia in the Kremlin that the security services have significantly toned down the May 9 celebrations in Moscow and have not invited any State Duma members to the Victory Day parade on Red Square, so that the public presence around Putin can be significantly cut down.

This was claimed by the US media outlet CNN and Important Stories, a leading Russian independent investigative outlet, citing an intelligence report prepared by an EU member state.

🚨BrahMos Production Crashes Over 50%! Will 🇮🇳India Lose Its Missile Edge?

Reliable sources have reportedly told NBT that BrahMos Aerospace has alerted the #IndianNavy to the possible delay of a few years in the supply of BrahMos missiles.

Besides the over 50% drop in BrahMos production, the @NavbharatTimes report also claims that the BrahMos-NG project has not yet been approved by the MoD.

🚨Chinese Spies Lure 🇮🇳Indian Military Veterans: “Write Articles, Share Intel, Get Money."

An 🇮🇳Indian Navy Admiral was approached on @LinkedIn by two Hong Kong-based students who claimed to be PhD students at the University of 🇭🇰Hong Kong.

Their request appeared ordinary with extraordinary monetary benefits!

They wanted the Indian Admiral to write about the Navy, sharing his insights and expertise for research purposes.

Payments -- a cool USD $300 for every article.

🪝Catch: Share "Inside Info" and no Open Source Information.

Earlier, the University Grants Commission issued an advisory to Higher Education Institutions drawing attention to inputs received from the Ministry of Education regarding attempts by vested foreign entities to collect sensitive information linked to India’s national security, defense establishments, and critical infrastructure.

BrahMos at Risk: Is India Losing Its Missile Edge?

NBT Online has reported, based on inputs from “reliable sources,” that the production of BrahMos missiles has plunged to below 50% of the level achieved a year ago.

https://t.co/40Ps2fASWP

Also, the MoD is yet to approve the BrahMos-NG project.

It is ironic that the Government of India formally approved and initiated construction of the BrahMos-NG development and testing facility in Lucknow on December 26, 2021—when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh laid the foundation stone—yet has not approved development of the missile itself.

Any significant drop in the production of BrahMos missile variants at this stage would be a serious setback, potentially weakening the deterrence capability of the Indian Armed Forces.

Any delay in approving the development of BrahMos-NG could necessitate the import of a comparable system to keep the IAF’s MiG-29 and LCA fleets operationally viable.

My Thumkar blog post has all the details.

⚡️Why USA Keeps Picking 🇵🇰Pakistan Over 🇮🇳India - Israeli Analyst decodes

@ShayGal84 says: In every generation, Pakistan (Army) made the same offer (to Washington), i.e., Shield our conduct, and we will manage your (American) crisis.

Surprisingly, in every generation, the USA bought it.

Even in spring 2026, Pakistan was again being treated in Washington as a credible regional partner and a channel to #Iran.

@realDonaldTrump extended a ceasefire with Iran at Islamabad’s request. The pattern was not ending. It was being reaffirmed.

The root of the error lies in the 1950s.

F-15EX vs Rafale for 🇮🇳India?

1⃣Is the US soft-pitching F-15 EX jets to the Indian Air Force?

2⃣With no source code for Rafale jets, is @IAF_MCC exploring options?

3⃣ What about stealth jets that India really needs? Not much is happening with the F-35 and the Su-57!

The ACM’s familiarisation sortie in a Boeing F-15EX Eagle II fighter jet was likely intended to soften any IAF resistance to the purchase of the F-15EX and its weapon systems.
