SIPRI Yearbook 2026 now vindicates what I have been documenting for years: India has moved from a so-called recessed, de-mated posture toward operational nuclear warhead deployment and peacetime mating with launchers.
12 warheads are now assessed as deployed with operational forces. The “reliable minimum deterrent” narrative just took a hit.

MCE Insights | War in Iran and the nuclear non-proliferation regime: a perspective from Pakistan

@sufianullah | @IISS_org

As part of his ongoing Visiting Research Fellowship at International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) London, Dr Sufian Ullah’s article titled “War in Iran and the nuclear non-proliferation regime: a perspective from Pakistan” is published by IISS Online Analysis. He argues that the conflict in Iran will have far-reaching consequences, not only hardening Tehran’s position and willingness to negotiate on the nuclear issue in future, but also by undermining the broader credibility of the non-proliferation regime.

@Mrsinha "35 million people," said the Prime Minister of Pakistan, "would have died..."

@Mrsinha This is where basic knowledge of grammar and correct use of commas come in handy. Surprised to see many well established social media handles are posting it with inaccurate interpretation 😄

MCE Insights | Why Does Crisis Stability Remain a Wild Goose Chase in South Asia?
Dr. Sufian Ullah & Ms. Safia Mansoor | The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs

Since South Asia’s overt #nuclearization, the region has avoided #fullscalewar but continues to face recurring crises. #Crisisstability remains elusive due to doctrinal gaps, rising counterforce tendencies, rapid technological militarization, weak crisis-management mechanisms, and an expanding arms race. The article concludes that enduring stability requires sustained strategic dialogue, acknowledgment of mutual vulnerabilities, and a shared framework for strategic stability.

As expected, the annual Russian strategic nuclear forces exercise came today and was a rather modest affair.

The Northern Fleet Delta IV-class SSBN Bryansk, which finished a lengthy overhaul not too long ago, fired a SS-N-23 from the Barents Sea.
