STRATEGIC VANGUARD

Why does the Indian Navy need both frigates and destroyers? These warships may look similar, but they perform different roles in modern naval warfare. In this Strategic Vanguard DeepDive, we examine the differences between India's Nilgiri-class stealth frigates and Visakhapatnam-class destroyers, their weapons and sensors, and how they contribute to India's maritime security. Discover how frigates provide flexibility and persistent presence, while destroyers deliver powerful air-defence and fleet-protection capabilities. More importantly, understand why modern naval power depends not simply on individual warships, but on how they operate together as a connected combat force. From protecting carrier groups to securing India's interests across the Indian Ocean, the balance between frigates and destroyers reveals an important lesson in maritime strategy.

India’s ambition to become a major aerospace power faces one of its toughest challenges: developing a reliable, high-performance indigenous fighter jet engine. In this Strategic Vanguard Deep Dive, we examine the Kaveri engine programme, the role of the American GE F414 engine in India’s fighter development plans, and the potential for technology partnerships with France’s Safran and Britain’s Rolls-Royce. We also explore why the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme makes engine development a strategic priority. Why are fighter engines so difficult to build? What lessons can India learn from decades of development? Can international partnerships accelerate progress without creating new dependencies? And what would genuine propulsion independence mean for India’s future air power? A fighter aircraft is only as capable as the engine that powers it. For India, the race to master jet propulsion is about more than engineering—it is about strategic autonomy, industrial capability and freedom of action.

The next major war may not begin with missiles striking cities or ships attacking fleets. It could begin thousands of kilometres above Earth — when military satellites become targets. Modern warfare depends heavily on satellites for communications, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, navigation, missile warning, targeting and battlefield coordination. Disable those satellites, and an entire military force can become slower, less accurate and increasingly blind. In this Strategic Vanguard Deep Dive, we examine the emerging battlefield of space warfare and the growing threat to military satellites. We explore how satellites can be attacked through anti-satellite weapons, electronic warfare, jamming, spoofing, cyberattacks and other counter-space capabilities. We also examine the strategic competition between the United States, China, Russia and India, and why the destruction of satellites could have consequences far beyond orbit. But there is an even bigger danger. A large-scale conflict in space could generate enormous quantities of orbital debris, potentially threatening the satellites that modern civilization increasingly depends upon. At the same time, militaries are developing more resilient satellite architectures, distributed constellations and new methods of operating in a contested space environment. The central question is no longer whether space is becoming militarized. It already is. The question is: What happens when satellites become targets? And when the first satellite suddenly stops responding, will that be the beginning of the next war?

The next war may not begin with missiles or gunfire. It may begin with an invisible struggle for control of the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar, communications, satellite navigation, data links and networked weapons all depend on electromagnetic signals—and electronic warfare can disrupt, deceive, protect or exploit them. In this Strategic Vanguard Deep Dive, we examine why electronic warfare is becoming a central element of modern warfare, how jamming and deception work, why drones and naval warfare are increasingly dependent on electromagnetic dominance, how electronic warfare intersects with cyber warfare and AI, and why spectrum control could influence the outcome of future conflicts.
