India conducts first trial flight of stratospheric airship platform enhancing aerial surveillance
Sunday, 4 May 2025 India's DRDO achieved a milestone with the successful maiden flight of its Stratospheric Airship Platform in Madhya Pradesh. The high-altitude airship, developed by ADRDE, ascended to 17 kilometers, transmitting sensor data for future improvements. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh lauded the achievement, emphasising its potential to enhance India's earth observation, intelligence, and surveillance capabilities.
India has successfully tested the Agni-5 missile, validating all operational and technical parameters. Launched from the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur, Odisha, the nuclear-capable ballistic missile is a key part of India’s land-based strategic deterrent. Equipped with MIRV technology, Agni-5 can carry multiple nuclear warheads to separate targets, significantly enhancing India’s nuclear effectiveness. Developed indigenously by DRDO, the missile positions India among the world’s top strategic powers, boosting national defense and demonstrating its advanced ballistic missile capabilities.

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.
