Indescribable feeling to watch the 1st teaser of #Amaran, based on Maj Mukund Varadarajan's life, one of the most loved heroes in my book #IndiasMostFearless 1. Just spoke to his brave dad, made the 2nd call to Mukund's wife. We couldn't have been happier.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

On this day, 10 years ago, 4 Para Special Forces squads crossed the LoC to avenge the Uri terror attack.

India's Most Fearless 1 remains the only firsthand account of the surgical strikes as told by the Major who led the squads.

Beautiful contradiction that is life.

Air force leaders from around 40 countries will be briefed at HAL & BEL in Bengaluru, & at the C295 production line in Vadodara, offering them a close look at India’s growing defence manufacturing prowess as New Delhi steps up efforts to push military exports. #TarangShakti2026

Rare confirmation from the IAF’s highest echelons — LCA Mk-1A nearing induction.

So happy on the 3 National Awards for AMARAN, the first film based on a true account in the #IndiasMostFearless book series by @rahulsinghx & me.

A tribute, as ever, to Major Mukund Varadarajan, Ashoka Chakra. Never forgotten. 🇮🇳🔥

Inside #TarangShakti2026, Sept 26-Oct 12, Jodhpur:

[Rahul Singh @rahulsinghx]

“There is an engine-related issue as Honeywell has tier-1 and tier-2 supply chain issues. The firm has promised us six engines by December. It is looking for alternative sources to overcome supply chain bottlenecks.”

— HAL Chairman and Managing Director Ravi K

F-35 to make India combat drill debut.

[Rahul Singh @rahulsinghx]

Defence minister Rajnath Singh flagged delays in military projects, noting that such slippages can create capability gaps and drive up costs. He pressed the local industry, including HAL, to set firm timelines to meet the armed forces' needs.

[Rahul Singh @rahulsinghx]

Back in the news cycle —#LCAMk1A at HAL’s Aircraft Division in Bangalore. Spent some time with the fighter, and scoped out what’s next in training.

[Rahul Singh @rahulsinghx]

In his 1st interview, HAL chief Ravi K told me:

LCA Mk-1A deliveries to begin by year-end

Final fixes underway—radar & weapons integration

10 Mk-1As by Mar '27

Mk-2 ground run in Mar '27, followed by maiden flight

IAF to move case for Mk-2 fighters

Absolute cinema.

China's LAC footprint shrank last year on the back of sustained India-China dialogue that led to stability along the border, the defence ministry said in its latest annual report. The assessment, however, predates the tensions at Taksing in Arunachal Pradesh.

[Harsha Vardhan Mandava @mharshaips]

Without the cars, it actually looks like a market and not like a parking lot with some shops thrown in! A rare sight that will be gone tomorrow morning.

The last two LCA trainers from a 2010 contract also finally set to be delivered to the IAF.

Quick fact: Under Project Udbhav, the Indian Army is studying texts such as Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural, Kautilya’s Arthashastra and Kamandaka’s Nitisara for insights into statecraft, strategy, diplomacy and warfare.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Presented President Putin with a Russian translation of the Thirukkural, which carries the eternal wisdom of the great Thiruvalluvar across languages and borders.

[Rahul Singh @rahulsinghx]

Seven years ago, I drove into Wacha-Damai — the meeting point for Indian & Chinese troops along the LAC, and the site of the first corps commander-level engagement between the two armies in Arunachal Pradesh. The Gypsy took a beating, & getting there was an adventure in itself.

[Rahul Singh @rahulsinghx]

The plan to boost the Indian Air Force’s capabilities includes a pilot project to integrate Russian-origin RVV BD long-range air-to-air missiles with Sukhoi-30 fighters.
