Forget B-2 Bomber, US to unveil its deadliest, most powerful B-21 raider, has thermal masking system, can carry 13 tonnes..., name is...
The B-21 Raider is a project that is among the most secretive defense programs in the United States. However, open-source intelligence (OSINT) and satellites have provided insight into the relatively quiet development of the program. Recently, multiple B-21 test flights were observed at Edwards Air Force Base in California, reported NavBharatTimes. According to several media reports, experts suggested that these test flights were part of the assessment of the bomber's stealth capabilities, that is, it can operate undetected and is totally invisible on active radar. Although the B-2 Spirit and the B-21 Raider are both stealth bombers, the B-21 has next-generation technology, making the B-21 as ready for future warfare as it can be. Although the B-2 could avoid radar, the B-21's stealth capability far exceeds the B-2. While the B-2 took measures to mitigate its heat signature as part of a stealth capability improvement, the B-21 boasts a complete thermal masking system that enables it to evade infrared detection as well. According to the NavBharatTimes report, the B-21 has smart capabilities, like integration of AI, as well as health monitoring systems that allow it to detect and diagnose its own technical anomalies. To date, there is no direct indication that live missile tests have been successfully conducted as of this writing. Nevertheless, there are plans for the B-21 Raider to conduct live test series weapon bay opening and dummy bomb tests in July of 2025; this includes testing to simulate Unified Combatant command-fight scenarios with dummy bombs to understand the effects of combat-weight and future release. Although the Pentagon and Northrop Grumman are not making any comments, there was a leak that indicated that the B-21 initial operational deployment phase should occur by 2027, with a full operational capability by 2029. And when the B-21 enters active service, aerial warfare will never be the same.

Bad news for China, as Taiwan deploys powerful weapon that once caused massive loss to Russia, its name is..., features are...
The world continues to witness conflicts and unrest on a daily basis. One such conflict is between China and Taiwan. Amid escalating tensions with China, Taiwan has deployed one of its most recent and accurate offensive capabilities, the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), on Saturday. The intention is to show Taiwan's ability to resist a potential assault from China. Two armored trucks with HIMARS were seen in military exercises near Taichung city on Taiwan's central west coast, as reported by NavBharatTimes. This occurred on day 4 of the annual Han Kuang exercises, which is the largest military exercise Taiwan conducts. Next week, Taiwan will continue its Han Kuang exercises with both simulation and live-fire tests. China considers Taiwan, a democratic state, part of its territory. In the last five years, it has increased the military pressure on the island and conducted significant military exercises with heightened naval and air force patrols in the surrounding air and sea. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence (MND) said that it detected 14 Chinese military aircraft, nine naval vessels, and 1 official ship operating around Taiwan until 6 am (local time) on Saturday. Of these, 9 aircraft crossed the unofficial median line between Taiwan and China, the first time in the last few years. Taiwan does not accept China's claims. In a statement, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said only the people of Taiwan can decide their future. According to Taiwan's MND, nine out of 14 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan's northern and eastern Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ). In response to China's action, Taiwan's armed forces deployed aircraft, naval ships, and coastal missile systems to monitor the situation. Earlier on Saturday, Taiwan's Armed Forces staged a powerful demonstration of military readiness, simulating a Chinese incursion via the Tamsui River in New Taipei as part of the annual Han Kuang exercises, Focus Taiwan reported. The high-intensity drill featured live C4 explosive detonations and riverine blockades, sending a clear message to Beijing amid escalating threats of invasion from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). As per Focus Taiwan, the Army's 53rd Engineer Group took center stage in the drill, placing combat obstacles and remotely detonating explosives across a strategic stretch of the Tamsui River, a critical entry point to the capital. For the first time, the military publicly demonstrated live explosive deployment–an unprecedented move seen by observers as a necessary deterrent against China's expanding military aggression. The Chinese defense ministry dismissed the Han Kuang exercises this week as 'nothing more than bluff' while its foreign ministry reiterated that its opposition to U.S.-Taiwan military cooperation remains 'consistent and very firm.' Furthermore, regional military attaches noted that the involvement of HIMARS in such a combat-like exercise is going to draw close attention because of the widespread use of HIMARS by Ukraine against Russian troops. Taiwan received the initial installment of the first 11 of 29 HIMARS units it ordered last year. Taiwan tested the systems for the first time in May of this year. With an approximate range of 300 kilometers (190 miles), the HIMARS has the capability to target coastal positions in China's southern Fujian province, across the Taiwan Strait. Taiwanese military analysts believe these weapons systems would be used in combination with the indigenous Thunderbolt-2000 launchers so that strikes can be targeted against Chinese forces while they are leaving port or when they are attempting the landing on the shore of Taiwan. Taiwanese defence analysts also noted that during recent drills, a Thunderbolt launcher was sited parked in close proximity to a HIMARS system.

Pakistan fired Shaheen ballistic missile to attack Delhi, reveals Indian Army. Know its strength and why no debris was found?
From Fatah-II to Shaheen-III... How far can Pakistan's missiles reach Amid recent tensions between India and Pakistan, the Indian Army shared a video revealing some important details. As per the NavBharat Times report, the video shows that Pakistan tried to cause major damage by launching a missile from its Shaheen series. But the key highlight is that India managed to successfully intercept the missile. This may lead to a question: if India really intercepted the Shaheen missile, why hasn't the debris been shown? The answer lies in India's advanced defense strategy. It's not just about stopping threats, but also about how the country handles security and intelligence in a smarter, more strategic way. An official video released by the Indian Army shows that Pakistan used Shaheen ballistic missiles along with Chinese A-100 and Fateh I/II MLRS weapons during the recent conflict. In retaliation, India fired its own Smerch MLRS. To intercept Pakistan's Shaheen and other missiles, India employed both the Russian S-400 air defense system and the indigenous Akash missile system. An analysis of the official video released by the Indian Army shows that during the conflict, Pakistan used several powerful weapons against India, including a missile targeted towards a location in the Indian capital, Delhi.

Trump to change face of Middle East politics? US President lifts sanctions on..., it's related to Israel due to... A major shift has occurred in Middle Eastern politics, as Syria, which has long been an enemy of Israel, consider recognizing the country. According to a CNN report, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday declared his intention to lift longstanding American sanctions on Syria, following the fall of the Assad regime late last year, CNN reported. Speaking at the Saudi-US Investment Forum 2025, Trump stated the move would 'give them a chance at greatness,' and framed it as a step toward peace and progress in a war-torn country. Later, Trump said the decision came after discussions with both Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. 'Syria, they've had their share of travesty, war, killing in many years,' he said, adding that his administration had already begun taking steps to restore normal diplomatic relations with Syria. He emphasised this would mark the first such effort by the US in over a decade. Trump also met with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Shara (who was on the U.S. terrorist list until last year) in Riyadh. During the meeting, Trump urged President Al-Shara to sign the Abraham Agreement and recognize Israel. Additionally, Trump announced the removal of all sanctions on Syria. A White House official confirmed that the meeting occurred on Wednesday, just one day after the announcement to lift the sanctions on the war-torn country, as reported by NavBharat Times. According to a White House official, the meeting took place in Saudi Arabia as part of Donald Trump's regional visit, before a big summit with Gulf Arab leaders, reported by NavBharat Times. Syria, which was backed by Iran until last year, had its government, led by Bashar al-Assad, overthrown by Al-Shara. After that, Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia. Now, Trump has worked to bring Syria closer to the U.S. side.
