India's Billion-Dollar Defense Deal: Light Combat Helicopters Military Power Against China, Pakistan
India has approved its biggest-ever defense deal, worth $7.3 billion, to procure 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) for the Indian Army and Air Force.
These helicopters, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), are equipped to operate in extreme conditions, making them ideal for deployment in sensitive areas like the Siachen glacier and Eastern Ladakh.
With advanced features such as the ability to take off and land at altitudes of 5,000 meters, these helicopters will significantly enhance India's military capabilities in the face of regional threats, particularly from China and Pakistan.
With a range of around 30 km, the system would be complementing the existing systems in the forces like the MRSAM and Akash in short to medium ranges. DNA

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor.

The Trump administration has agreed to pay $5 million to Ashli Babbitt’s family, settling a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit. Babbitt, a Trump supporter and Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by Capitol Police during the January 6 Capitol riot. Though the officer was cleared of wrongdoing, Babbitt's family argued she was unarmed and received no warning. Trump has cast her as a martyr, while Capitol Police expressed disappointment, maintaining the officer acted in self-defense with no laws broken.

In a major update on Operation Sindoor, DGMO Lt. General Rajiv Ghai revealed that Pakistan launched repeated wave-style air attacks targeting Indian airfields and supply dumps between May 7 and May 10. All attacks were successfully thwarted by India’s integrated air defence systems. Meanwhile, heavy retaliatory action along the Line of Control resulted in the reported loss of 35 to 40 Pakistani soldiers due to artillery and small arms fire. This joint Indian Army and Air Force operation marks a significant escalation in India's military posture following the Pahalgam terror attack, reinforcing India's message of zero tolerance for cross-border aggression.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.
