STRATEGIC VANGUARD

Everyone knows about the S-400 and the Akash missile system. But what about the missile that connects them?

It fills the critical gap between long-range and short-range air defence systems, protecting strategic assets from aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles. Watch this quick breakdown and don't miss our full Strategic Vanguard Deep Dive on why MRSAM may be the hidden backbone of India's air defence architecture.

China built the world's largest navy. But size is not the same as reach. Every mile a Chinese warship travels from home stretches its logistics, weakens its support network, and exposes a problem no amount of shipbuilding can easily solve. From the Malacca Strait to the Indian Ocean, from overseas bases to aircraft carrier operations, this DeepDive explores the hidden challenge facing Beijing's quest for global naval dominance. The question is no longer whether China can build a global navy. The question is whether it can sustain one.

China possesses the world's largest navy by ship numbers, but can it dominate the Indian Ocean? In this Strategic Vanguard DeepDive, we examine India's geographic advantages, naval strategy, Andaman and Nicobar Command, maritime partnerships, and the challenges posed by China's growing presence in the Indian Ocean Region. As Beijing expands its naval footprint through bases, ports, and deployments, India faces a defining strategic question: Can the Indian Navy contain China in its maritime backyard? This video explores the balance of power, the importance of chokepoints such as the Malacca Strait, and the future of maritime competition in the Indo-Pacific.
