Abnousse Shalmani s'est intéressée à l'histoire des Kurdes iraniens. Avant les Perses, il y avait les Mèdes qui habitaient sur les plateaux en Iran. Ils ont fondé le premier empire iranien au XII? avant J.-C. Et les Kurdes, descendants directs des Mèdes, sont avant tout des Iraniens. Mais la mollarchie les accuse de séparatistes. Ils ont été persécutés par le régime. Abnousse Shalmani estime qu'il s'agissait simplement d'une propagande des mollahs. Les Kurdes veulent juste qu'on les reconnaisse comme des Iraniens à part entière. Elle affirme que la lutte des Kurdes est fédératrice. Dans cette guerre en Iran et au Moyen-Orient, la position officielle de la France est l'arrêt des combats et la négociation. Mais dans les faits, Ruth Elkrief pense qu'elle se retrouve engagée, plus engagée qu'on ne le pense. Étant la deuxième force extérieure dans la région après les États-Unis, notre pays est surtout sur le qui-vive. Elle rappelle qu'une base navale française à Abou Dhabi a été touchée par des drones iraniens, que nous avons envoyé aussi des renforts, des avions Rafales, la frégate Languedoc ainsi que le Charles de Gaulle, que nous avons passé des accords de défense avec plusieurs pays du Moyen-Orient. L'arrivée des avions ravitailleurs américains à Istres n'est pas passée inaperçue. La France se trouve donc dans une position délicate, celle de protéger nos alliés qui sont encore attaqués ce jeudi soir. Dans cette guerre, il y a des gagnants et des perdants. Qui sont-ils ? Pascal Perri, à ce jour, reprend la formule de Napoléon selon laquelle la défaite est une situation strictement temporaire, la victoire aussi. Son analyse part des indicateurs comme le VIX et le Brent. Pour lui, les États-Unis sont les premiers gagnants de ce conflit, car la crise des hydrocarbures relance l'industrie du schiste dans le pays. Viennent ensuite la Russie dont le gaz et le pétrole regagnent le marché et le fonds souverain saoudien. Les perdants, selon lui, sont les pays naturellement dépendants du gaz et du pétrole importés comme nous. Il y a aussi l'Iran avec un risque d'asphyxie économique. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle est en route pour la Méditerranée. Emmanuel Macron a annoncé ce mardi 3 mars, qu'il envoyait le navire français au Moyen-Orient. Pour protéger les intérêts français alors que la guerre continue entre Israël, les États-Unis et l'Iran. Quelles sont les capacités du Charles de Gaulle? On pose la question à Helen Chachaty, journaliste défense à BFM Business.

With the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) clearing the monumental Rs 3.25 lakh crore deal for 114 Rafale jets just as French President Emmanuel Macron lands in India, the Indian Air Force is closer to getting the muscle it desperately needs. But what does this "Mother of All Deals" mean for India's indigenous fighter programs? In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan unpack the proposed Rafale deal and break down the strategic and financial realities of buying 114 Rafales. The two explore the 'Make in India' angle of the deal and what it means for India's private sector. Most importantly, Dev and Sandeep ask the tough question: Will paying for 114 French jets bankrupt the homegrown Tejas Mk2 or is it a calculated move to buy time and secure our skies?

Emmanuel Macron s'est rendu en Inde cette semaine pour renforcer le partenariat stratégique entre les deux pays. Les discussions entre Paris et New Delhi ont porté sur l'intelligence artificielle, mais aussi sur la vente possible de plus de cent avions de chasse français Rafale. Un dossier hautement sensible, ciblé par une série de deepfake détournant le visage du président français et du Premier ministre indien, Narendra Modi. Tout commence mardi 17 janvier avec la diffusion sur X (ex-Twitter) d'une vidéo de quarante trois secondes. On voit Emmanuel Macron, drapeaux français en arrière-plan, en pleine déclaration, devant un pupitre décoré avec des fleurs. On pense alors l'entendre parler en anglais. Il semble affirmer que la France ne « pourra pas devenir un partenaire de l'Inde dans le domaine de la défense ». « Nous avons déjà perdu un milliard de dollars sur le marché Rafale en raison de l'inefficacité de l'armée de l'air indienne. Nous ne pouvons pas faire partie d'une organisation défaillante qui ternirait davantage notre réputation ». Ce narratif mensonger fait référence à l'opération militaire Sindoor menée par l'Inde au Pakistan en mai 2025 et où New Delhi aurait perdu au moins un avion Rafale. Un deepfake anglophone En réalité, Emmanuel Macron n'a jamais prononcé ces mots. C'est un deepfake, un hypertrucage généré par intelligence artificielle. Ce type d'outil permet de faire dire n'importe quoi à n'importe qui en quelques clics. La première étape de vérification consiste à identifier l'origine précise de cet extrait. Pour ça, nous avons procédé à plusieurs recherches par image inversée (voir ici comment faire). Cela nous a permis de retrouver la déclaration d'Emmanuel Macron et de Narendra Modi à Bombay, le 17 février 2026. Si on y retrouve bien le même décor, les mêmes gestes, les propos eux, sont totalement différents. L'extrait qui a été manipulé débute à 27'53. D'abord, Emmanuel Macron s'exprime en français et non en anglais. De plus, durant les quinze minutes de son allocution, le président loue un partenariat sans « limites » et en pleine « accélération » avec l'Inde. Il ne parle pas des Rafales, ni ne critique l'armée de l'air indienne. Comptes pro-pakistanais et pro-chinois À l'origine de cette fausse information, on retrouve un compte X anonyme, qui se présente, à tort, comme un lanceur d'alerte. Dans les faits, il publie quotidiennement des deepfake et des infox destinées à dénigrer l'armée indienne et, au contraire, à vanter la puissance du Pakistan. Il a notamment partagé un hypertrucage de Narendra Modi au sujet, une nouvelle fois, des avions français Rafale. Ces infox s'inscrivent dans une vaste opération de désinformation. En effet, depuis la série de bombardements menés par l'armée indienne contre le Pakistan en mai 2025, le Rafale est victime d'une intense campagne de dénigrement dans la région. Derrière tout ça, on retrouve un écosystème de comptes et de médias chinois et pakistanais. Leurs objectifs consistent à ternir la réputation de l'avion fabriquée par Dassault, à promouvoir le matériel de fabrication chinoise et à affaiblir, par la même occasion, le partenariat franco-indien.

Emmanuel Macron effectue une visite officielle de 3 jours en Inde, son 4e déplacement dans le pays depuis 2018. Un évènement marqué par l'annonce d'un contrat historique de 114 avions Rafale pour un montant de 30 milliards d'euros. Ce contrat s'inscrit dans le prolongement de la vente de 36 Rafale à l'armée de l'air indienne et de 26 à la marine indienne depuis 2016, portant le total à 207 Rafale vendus à l'Inde. Au-delà du volet militaire, la visite de Macron vise à renforcer les liens économiques et stratégiques entre la France et l'Inde, notamment avec la signature d'un accord de libre-échange entre l'Inde et l'Union européenne. L'Inde est devenue un partenaire économique essentiel pour la France, avec un commerce bilatéral de 15 milliards d'euros, face aux défis posés par les États-Unis et la Chine.Macron est accompagné de dirigeants de grands groupes français comme EDF, Schneider Electric ou CMA-CGM, ainsi que de start-ups de l'intelligence artificielle, dans l'optique de développer de nouveaux projets communs.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

The four-day India-Pakistan military crisis showcased a real-world glimpse of how near-peer militaries will face each other on the future battlefield. This high-tech military showdown was of immense significance for the People Liberation Army (PLA), which has been monitoring the global conflicts, Russia-Ukraine war, Nagorno-Karabakh and Syrian civil war, to draw operational lessons, adaptation tactics and a foresight gaze to prepare for the hypothetical conflicts in its backyard. Featured between the two nuclear-armed rivals, the conflict was the first of its kind where a military (Pakistan) possessed advanced Chinese weapons in its inventory, mainly the HQ-9 air defence system, PL-15 beyond-visual-range-air-to-air-missile (BVRAAM), J-10C Vigorous Dragon and JF-17 Thunder fighter planes. During the intense aerial exchange, Pakistan's downing of five Indian fighter jets, including top-of-the-line Rafales, provided a trial run of cutting-edge Chinese weaponry under fire. The crisis came as an optimal moment for China, which has not been in active combat since 1979. The successful demonstration of Chinese high-end weaponry against the relatively superior Western weaponry underscores China's preparation and anticipation of future conflict with strong adversaries like the US. In 2019, China's State Council published a white paper, China's National Defence in the New Era, which noted that the international military landscape is witnessing rapid transformation. The document emphasised multi-domain and trans-theatre operations to facilitate jointness among all service branches. To achieve synergy among its service branches, the Chinese military has integrated cyber, space and information domains under the multi-domain warfare (MDW) concept. It has also developed a robust data link architecture to enable the seamless integration between fighter jets, airborne early warning and control (AWACS) aircraft and other supporting units. These data links augment combat efficiency by supporting coordination among various assets, allowing rapid target data sharing and providing missile guidance. Theoretically, they also help the Chinese military to overcome the bottleneck of information processing during live combat. The more interoperable these data links are, the faster the execution of the OODA loop in real-time combat. In the 100-hour India-Pakistan live air combat, both sides were engaged in what the Chinese called 'system-to-system' confrontation. Pakistan's indigenously developed Link-17 enabled it to execute a sequenced kill chain in a multi-domain environment. During peacetime, Pakistan has enhanced its situational awareness by integrating its ground radars, fighter jets, and AWACS aircraft. Relatedly, it has been engaged in a series of joint exercises with China, such as Warrior, Shaheen and Sea Guardian, respectively. This peacetime readiness allowed Pakistan to simultaneously lock, target and destroy the enemy's airborne assets in a high-speed environment. According to the South China Morning Post, Pakistan Air Force deployed 'A' launched by 'B' and guided by 'C' method to stage an 'air ambush' for the Indian fighter jets. Visualising hypothetically, Michael Dahm, a prominent aerospace expert at the Mitchell Institute, stated that Pakistan's kill chain may have started with the locking of the Indian airborne targets by a ground-based radar. Then, a J-10C Vigorous Dragon launched its PL-15 BVRAAM from a standoff distance, and finally, an AWACS guided the missile to the target by using a midcourse data link. This kill chain is comparable to what the US is trying to create among its services through the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) concept. On the contrary, India's Rafales and S-400s are indubitably superior, but fragmentation in India's network-centric system hinders the interoperability among these assets. Unlike Pakistan, India lacks a unified data link to facilitate integration between a hodgepodge of Rus...

Un puissant anticyclone situé au sud des Mascareignes continue d'influencer le temps dans notre région. Il génère des alizés modérés accompagnés de nuages qui provoqueront des pluies occasionnelles, notamment sur l'est, le sud et le plateau central. Les rafales pourraient atteindre 50 à 60 km/h ce soir et demain. La mer restera très agitée dimanche. Côté températures, il fera entre 25 et 27 °C sur le littoral et entre 20 et 22 °C sur les hauteurs.

Il faisait tempête ce jour-là.Rafales de vent, alertes météo, circulation coupée par endroits.Et à un moment je me suis dit: “Mais pourquoi on n'a pas fait ça en visio ?”JAMAIS!!!!!Je ne regrette pas une seconde d'avoir bravé les éléments pour rencontrer Raphael Kunde (et avec ma grosse valise c'était pas gagné!!)On ne s'était jamais vus.Mais il y avait une chose que je voulais absolument comprendre dans son parcours :Ce fameux “double regard” acheteur / négociateur.Parce que derrière les jeux de rôle en box de négo, il y a des mécaniques, des réflexes, une posture.... A décrypter ;)Et ça me fascine!Alors on s'est retrouvés dans un espace de coworking à Toulouse.Et on a parlé franchement :- Des coulisses de la négo côté Carrefour,- De la bascule côté marques (JDE, Carambar),- De ce que chacun sous-estime dans cette “danse” entre distributeurs et industriels.C'était un échange dense, riche, authentique.Ce jour-là, je me suis sentie franchement chanceuse.Un moment privilégié, sans langue de bois, où j'ai tellement appris.Je suis prête à parier que cet épisode sera un des plus écouté sur Sans filtre ajouté ;)L'avenir nous le dira.

India's next-gen stealth fighter, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), just got a massive push from the government with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh clearing an execution model for the jet's design and development.  On this episode of In Our Defence, veteran defence journalist Sandeep Unnithan breaks down what this means for the future of Indian airpower, how private players like Tata and L&T could shape the aircraft production ecosystem, and what role the state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is likely to play.  Sandeep also decodes the different generations of fighter aircraft, detailing what makes a fifth-generation jet stand out from the current crop of Indian Air Force jets such as the Rafales, Tejas, Sukhois and Mirages, among others. The episode also features a discussion on India's attempts to develop its own fighter jet engine and how that quest -- unsuccessful so far -- becomes all the more important for the AMCA.  Produced by Prateek Lidhoo Sound mix by Rohan Bharti

As French President Emmanuel Macron met with his Indonesian counterpart Prabowo Subianto this Wednesday in Jakarta, French companies like mining giant Eramet and defence provider Dassault Aviation were hoping to capitalise on these diplomatic ties. Talking to the press, Macron said there would be new orders for Dassault's Rafales fighter jets. Also, we look at the German defence tech startups benefitting from the country's rearmament drive.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-india-fights-alone-narrative-wars-western-gaslighting-and-a-missed-opportunity-13891339.htmlFrom the 1st of May until the 20th I was traveling in the US, and thus had to depend on western media (mostly Twitter/X) for news about Operation Sindoor and the aftermath. It was self-evident that there was no point in reading things like the NYTimes, Wapo, the Economist, etc. because one look at their headlines confirmed that they were “manufacturing consent”.Soft PowerGiven the difference in X posts that I read in the US and those in India, I think the algorithms were deprecating posts for me in ways that are hard to detect. In other words, there is a narrative war where India has no say, but lots at stake. India's soft power is seriously wanting. Joseph Nye, the academic who popularized that phrase, passed away this week: following in his footsteps, it behooves India to make a concerted attempt to improve its story-telling.It faces an uphill battle, because Western, especially American, media has shown an ability to gaslight at scale in three major stories in the recent past: the COVID panic, the “Trump-is-a-Russian-stooge” meme, and the “Biden is mentally sharp as a tack” story. They are good at it, have no love lost for India, and so India needs a long-term plan to get its own propaganda story out, for instance developing an Al-Jazeera-style global footprint or an X-style social medium.The entire Western narrative, for self-serving purposes, continues to be against India, for good reason: they do not wish to see India grow into a peer-level competitor at the G3 level. In this, both China and the West are of one mind, and it shows. Besides, the West has every incentive to try to block India from becoming a major arms exporter: they would prefer India to continue to be one of the biggest importers, preferably from them.Narrative warfare is a Western specialty, as I said in Information Warfare, Narrative-Building: That Kind of Warfare. In addition to kinetic warfare, India needs to up its game here too. Narratives have real-life consequences.The Pakistanis have been quite successful in their own narratives, riding on Western media: here is an example from the Nikkei (which owns the Financial Times) from a Pakistani journalist. This is typical of the stories created by Pakistanis and amplified by western media: basically that India took a major hit, with five or six high-end aircraft downed by Pakistani/Chinese weaponry. The story was repeated so many times that it essentially became the Truth.A step change in aerial warfareMy personal belief is that India won a victory on the ground and in the air, humiliating Pakistan, attacking it at will and exposing its Chinese armaments as below-par. Some thoughtful neutral experts support this view: See Calibrated Force and the Future of Indian Deterrence. India also demonstrated surprising competence in the new age of electronics-based warfare. It may no longer be expensive fighter jets (and by extension, aircraft carriers) that tilt the balance, but missiles, drones and integrated air defense.This must be emphasized. There are periodic step-functions in warfare that render earlier, victorious technologies/processes less valuable: this is similar to disruptive innovation, where the ‘insurgent' firm nullifies the apparent advantages of the ‘incumbent' firm. Often that means a point of inflection. An example is the arrival of the longbow in medieval times that made hitherto unstoppable heavy cavalry stumble. Another is the arrival of air power itself.Today there may be another point of inflection. Experts have suggested that warfare going forward will be software-driven, including drone swarms that can autonomously reshape their formations (reminiscent of the murmurations of flocks of starlings). Presumably, there will be plenty of predictive AI built in as well. Given India's poor track record in software products, it was generally assumed that India would not do so well in such a new environment.In reality, there appears to have been a clever integration of indigenous and imported technology to create an “iron dome” of sorts against Pakistan's Chinese missiles, of which an advanced variant, PL-15, was apparently shot down intact.More interestingly, it appears that Lakshya and Banshee drones were programmed to masquerade as Rafales, Sukhois, etc. by emitting their radar signals, thus attracting enemy fire towards themselves. This might explain the claims of five or six Indian aircraft shot down by Pakistan, whereas in reality they may have simply shot down the phantom, mimic dronesThe implications are large: in effect, India was able to attack Pakistan at will: video evidence shows significant damage to terrorist sites in the first round, and to military sites in the second round, including to key Pakistani air bases, as well as, it is said, the entrance tunnel to the nuclear storage facilities in the Kirana Hills. Indian air dominance appears to have forced the Pakistanis to beg for US support to suggest a cessation of hostilities.This skirmish was proof in the heat of battle for India's indigenous weapons, especially the BrahMos (although of course that is a joint venture with Russia). It may result in a number of serious queries from prospective customers especially in Southeast Asia, who will be interested in battlefield performance against Chinese missiles and aircraft. This would be a win for India's arms industry.Conversely, there is a singular sore spot: fighter jets. For a variety of reasons, most especially the fact that the Kaveri engine has not been allowed to complete its testing and development phase, India is still dependent on others for advanced fighters. And this is just fine as far as they are concerned, because the Americans want to sell F-35s, the French want to sell more Rafales, and the Russians want to sell Su-57s.Here's a twitter comment by a military historian who suggests that India's fighter jets are inadequate. He deleted his further comment that indigenization is fine as industrial policy, but it doesn't work for advanced weaponry. This is a typically sniffy attitude towards India, which is grist to the mill for the Chandigarh Lobby's successful efforts to trash local weapons and gain lucrative middleman deals for foreign weapons.Strategic Dilemma: To push on or notThere is also a strategic dilemma. India has an unfortunate habit of wasting its soldiers' hard-won victories at the negotiating table due to bad political calculations. The epitome of this is of course, Indira Gandhi's 1971 give-away of 93,000 Pakistani PoWs in exchange for essentially… nothing. There is some reason to wonder if something similar happened in 2025 as well. A tactical victory was possibly converted into a stalemate, and the old era of hyphenation and the nuclear bogey has returned.What we saw in 2025 was that the Pakistanis were taken by surprise, and India had a massive advantage. But now that cat is out of the bag, Pakistanis and Chinese will regroup and figure out corrective tactics. Thus India has, to use an American expression, “shot its wad”, and the element of surprise is gone forever.The end game for India is the dissolution of Pakistan into four or five statelets, which, one hopes, will then concentrate on Pakistani Punjab as the root of all their troubles. In that case, they will keep each other occupied, and India can live in peace without regular terrorist attacks. Of course, that may be a pipe-dream, given the Ghazwa-e-Hind formula many entertain, but the collapse of the Pakistani state is anyway desirable for India.Should India have continued its offensive? Forget the murky issue of the nuclear assets in Sargodha. Should India have moved the Line of Control forward into some areas, perhaps into Gilgit-Baltistan (with Sharda Peeth and the Kishenganga) and up to the Jhelum River in Pak-occupied Jammu and Kashmir? The problem though, is that once you start moving past the border posts, you have hostile civilians to contend with, and your supply lines start getting stretched.Even though it is tragic to let go of an opportunity to thrash an enemy that's on the back foot, and Pakistan will inevitably use the truce to rearm itself and come back ever stronger (the Treaty of Hudaybiyah is not a meme in the Islamic world for nothing), it is not clear to me what India could have done to militarily make the LOC irrelevant and make Pakistan implode, especially in the context of American pushback.The role of the USWhy was there pressure from President Trump? One of the things I observed during my US stay is the total absence of DOGE and Elon Musk from the headlines after Trump's 100 days, very contrary to their ubiquity early on. Similarly, the security implications of Trump's recent embrace of Syria's President Al-Sharaa contradicts Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's views on Syria as evidenced by her tweets. Further, there are U-turns on tariffs.This means Trump is being mercurial as ever. Furthermore, there might be something to the idea that his family's embrace of crypto may have endeared Pakistan – which is making noises about supporting crypto at scale – to him. All this is red-pilling many about Trump. Indeed, he may be allowing short-term, commercial considerations to drive policy, which may return to haunt the US: that is exactly what Clinton, Bush, Obama et al did with respect to China.On the other hand, there are longer-term considerations, too. Pakistan is essentially a Potemkin nation, which has no particular reason to exist, other than it is being propped up. Initially, it was a British project for the Russian Great Game; then it was taken over by the US Deep State in order to fend off the Soviet Union. Pakistan was a “major non-NATO ally” (MNNA) according to Obama if I remember right, and earlier it was a member of CENTO and SEATO.The IMF loan to Pakistan, approved in the middle of the hostilities, is not surprising, either: this has happened before. In a way, it is a complicated money-laundering activity. Funds from somewhere (possibly Qatar) are channeled to Pakistan, which then buys American arms. Thus the Deep State Military Industrial Complex is the winner.With the end of the Afghanistan wars, Pakistan offers no obvious geographic and strategic value to the US. Unless, of course, the target is no longer Russia, but India. Perhaps in anticipation of its being a check on India, the US had helped Pakistan nuclearize, according to this archived article from the NYTimes: US and China Helped Pakistan Build Its Bomb, from a time when it was possibly more truthful. I am indebted to Brahma Chellaney for this link.This may suggest that Pakistan's nuclear ‘assets' are not theirs, but are managed by American crew. On the other hand, though, the greater possibility is that such assets are loaned by China. Pakistan is a fantastic force multiplier for China.Abhimanyu SyndromeThe bottom line, then, is that India is on its own: sort of an Abhimanyu Syndrome, with nobody to help. The most obvious ‘friend' is Japan (because of the China threat), but it is severely constrained by American red lines: see how there was not a murmur from the Quad after Pahalgam. India's very possible rise is in fact encouraging other powers to put it down: grow so much, but no farther.There really is no alternative for India but to industrialize, manufacture everything possible for its large internal market, and increase the level of strategic autonomy in everything it makes: no more dependence on third parties, which may feel free to use kill switches, or deny spares or components at will. In this round, India did surprisingly well with indigenous technology, and it has articulated a strategy of escalating deterrence. To put teeth into this, innovation at home must continue.Here's the AI-generated podcast about this episode from notebookLM.google.com: 1975 words, 22 May 2025 This is a public episode.

International media authenticates Pakistan's claims of downing Indian Jets "Militaries worldwide will closely scrutinise a dogfight between China-made Pakistani jets and France-made Indian Rafale fighters, seeking insights that could give them an edge in future conflicts. A Chinese-made Pakistani fighter jet shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two US officials confirmed, marking a potential major milestone for Beijing's advanced jet. Pakistan has claimed to have downed at least five Indian jets, including three Rafales, in a battle involving a reported thirty Pakistani and seventy Indian fighter aircraft. Reuters and BBC have authenticated multiple videos that appear to support Pakistan's claim." Israel dropped 100,000 tons of explosives over Gaza "Authorities in Gaza have said that Israel has dropped a hundred thousand tonnes of explosives on Gaza since launching its genocide nineteen months ago, killing or leaving missing over sixty-two thousand Palestinians and committing more than twelve thousand massacres. Israel completely erased over two thousand two hundred families from civil registries. The campaign also targeted cemeteries, with Israeli forces stealing two thousand three hundred bodies from Gaza graves and establishing seven mass graves inside hospitals, five hundred twenty-nine of whom have been recovered so far. " JD Vance says India-Pakistan conflict 'fundamentally none of our business' "US Vice President JD Vance has said that Washington wanted to see a ""de-escalation"" in a worsening conflict between India and Pakistan, but that it was ""fundamentally none of our business."" Vance, who has been a proponent of US disengagement from international conflicts, said that the US is not going to get involved in the middle of a war and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it." Trump reportedly cuts ties with Netanyahu over 'manipulation' concerns "US President Donald Trump has decided to cut off direct contact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Israeli media, Trump made the decision after close associates told Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer that the president believes that Netanyahu is manipulating him." Robert Francis Prevost becomes first American Pope "Robert Francis Prevost has been elected the first pope from the United States. A moderate who was close to Pope Francis and spent years as a missionary in Peru, he became the Catholic Church's 267th pontiff, taking the papal name Leo fourteen. Cardinals chose a new pope to lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, sending up white smoke from the Sistine Chapel on their second day of voting in conclave."

For review:1. Israel - Hamas Ceasefire & Hostage Talks Continue.Key mediator Qatar it had presented both parties with a “final” draft of the agreement. Israel's Channel 12 news reported Monday that Jerusalem considered it broadly acceptable. CNN cited an Egyptian official as saying the mediating countries — Qatar, Egypt, and the United States — had not yet received a response from Hamas.2. NATO Secretary General (Mark Rutte) Wants Commitment for Increased Spending by Alliance Members.Reuters reported on Monday that Secretary Rutte is of the view that new military capability targets could require members to commit to “as much as” 3.7 percent GDP.3. Greece Adds Rafale Fighters to Warplane Arsenal.The latest Rafale delivery supports Greece's goal to operate 200 x aircraft from the 4.5 and 5th generations comprising the F-16 Viper, F-35s, and the Rafales by 2030.Greece now operates 24 x Rafale fighters.4. USMC awards contract to integrate the Forterra autonomy package on JLTVs in support of the ROGUE Fires Vehicle & NMESIS program. NMESIS = Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System.5. US Navy Vice Chief of Naval Operations (Admiral Jim Kilby) makes a statement at the annual Surface Navy Association symposium regarding the downing of the F/A-18 by friendly fire, in December 2024.6. Secretary of Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth appears before the Senate Armed Service Committee for confirmation hearing. 

With a steady decline in active squadrons, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is currently operating well below its optimal strength of 42 squadrons. Numbers are expected to dip further as older aircraft retire.In this episode, Shiv and Dev unpack India's decision to initiate a new global competition for fighter jets to fill a critical gap in the IAF's strength.The IAF initially purchased 36 Rafales (far fewer than the original 126 needed); India's MRFA tender—an acquisition plan for 114 fighter jets—aims to address this need.But, with the Rafale already in service and extensively customised for Indian requirements, the duo questions the necessity of another costly, lengthy competition. Why repeat the process when the Rafale was chosen a decade ago? Yes, we do require more aircraft, but do we need another contest? Is political wrangling slowing down India's defence readiness?What's driving this return to a complex competition, and can India afford further delays in bolstering its aerial capabilities?They propose a straightforward contest between the Rafale and Boeing's F-15, a newer contender, to streamline the acquisition and focus on India's urgent defence needs.Tune in!Read Lockheed Martin's F-21: For India.
