STRATEGIC VANGUARD

The modern battlefield is no longer defined by tanks and artillery — it is defined by sensors, satellites, AI, and network-centric warfare. In this Strategic Vanguard analysis, we break down the modern kill chain and explain how sensor domination transforms data into precision destruction. From space-based surveillance to drones, electronic warfare, AI-assisted targeting, and hypersonic weapons, this episode explores how nations compress the sensor-to-shooter loop and gain decisive advantage. We also examine what this means for India in the Indo-Pacific and why future wars will be decided by network resilience, not just firepower. 🔔 Subscribe for strategic, geopolitical, and defense analysis from an Indian perspective.

India’s airpower is entering a new strategic era where awareness and networked warfare matter more than raw fighter numbers. This in-depth Strategic Vanguard analysis explores the Indian Air Force’s AWACS capability — including Phalcon, Netra-1, Netra-1A, and Netra-2 — and explains why expanding airborne early warning systems is critical amid emerging threats from China’s J-20 fleet, potential Pakistani J-35 acquisition, and future regional airpower shifts. A strategic perspective on modern aerial warfare beyond technical details.

India’s military power depends not only on fighter jets and missiles, but on something far less visible yet absolutely critical — heavy transport aircraft. Today, the Indian Air Force relies primarily on just 11 C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and a shrinking fleet of aging IL-76 transports to move troops, tanks, artillery, helicopters, and emergency relief supplies across vast distances. With C-17 production permanently closed, Russian aircraft facing spare-parts uncertainty, and Chinese platforms strategically unacceptable, India faces a looming heavy airlift gap at the very moment its security commitments are expanding across multiple fronts. In this Strategic Vanguard deep dive, we examine why India’s future military doctrine, disaster response capability, and strategic autonomy may ultimately depend on developing an indigenous heavy transport aircraft, and what such a program would mean for India’s defense industry and geopolitical posture.
