DRDO ready with Agni-VI: Why this next-gen ICBM matters for India’s deterrence

An Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, or ICBM, is a long-range missile designed to travel more than 5,000 km. Unlike cruise missiles, which fly through the atmosphere using engines throughout their journey, ballistic missiles spend much of their flight outside the atmosphere, which means the missile actually leaves Earth’s air atmosphere and travels through space for part of its journey.

US president’s US$185 billion missile defence shield to counter Chinese, Russian missile arsenals

Trump's $185 billion Golden Dome missile shield faces congressional scrutiny as a senior Pentagon official admits the US currently has no defence against hypersonic or cruise missiles. The assistant secretary of defence for missile defence told a Senate hearing the shield will strengthen deterrence by denying adversaries ability to achieve objectives through coercion, specifically targeting China as the 'pacing competitor'.

Trump's US$185 Billion Golden Dome Missile Shield Faces Skepticism Amid Congressional Hearing

A senior Pentagon official told Congress that the US has "no defence against hypersonic weapons or cruise missiles" as President Trump's US$185 billion Golden Dome missile shield faces continued skepticism. The space-based interceptor system, targeted for operation by January 2029, is designed to counter Chinese and Russian missile arsenals, with the price tag increasing from an initial US$175 billion estimate.

France, Poland Plan Joint Nuclear-Capable Rafale Exercises Over Baltic Sea

France and Poland are planning joint air force exercises over the Baltic Sea involving Rafale fighter jets equipped with nuclear warheads to simulate strikes against targets near St. Petersburg, according to Polish media reports. The exercises would also include practice strikes with US-made JASSM-ER cruise missiles. Poland's Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated the day before that President Macron and Prime Minister Tusk had not discussed joint nuclear exercises, and nuclear deterrence cooperation is not as advanced as media reports suggest. The Kremlin warned that such plans indicate Europe's drive toward further militarization and nuclearization.
