Indescribable feeling to watch the 1st teaser of #Amaran, based on Maj Mukund Varadarajan's life, one of the most loved heroes in my book #IndiasMostFearless 1. Just spoke to his brave dad, made the 2nd call to Mukund's wife. We couldn't have been happier.

Pleased to see our exclusive on the Air Force Golf Club's abrupt closure—and the cancellation of the outgoing IAF Chief’s customary ‘golfing out’— followed by all major news outlets.

An honour for @RahulSinghx & me to call on Air Chief Marshal AP Singh today, (his 62nd bday!), to wish him well before he hangs up his flying boots, & give him our #IndiaMostFearless books.
Once a fighter pilot, always a fighter pilot. Happy Birthday & blue skies, Chief!
Congratulations to the Agniveers who have earned the opportunity to continue serving the nation, and my best wishes to those embarking on a new chapter. May the values of duty, honour & courage forged in service guide them always.
The corruption case may have raised reputational concerns for defence PSU Munitions India Ltd, but allegations against one executive do not establish corporate wrongdoing, officials said.
From Chetwode’s 'country first' motto that hung on the wood-panelled wall for decades to Dinkar’s stirring verses & now the Field Marshal’s ceremonial baton, every detail in the Army chief's office has quietly reinforced its military character & gravitas.

SMPP Ltd, at the centre of an alleged bribery scandal, is missing from the govt's latest blacklist, issued days after the arrest of its CEO & two others. The list names 22 firms—none new. It is periodically reviewed, leaving SMPP in line for a possible listing in the next update.
HAL may have handed over the first three HTT-40s to the IAF, but training of rookie pilots on these indigenous basic trainers will begin at the Air Force Academy in Dundigal only after two years as the service builds up its pool of trained instructors and inducts 25-30 aircraft.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh also said connectivity projects must respect sovereignty & territorial integrity to be sustainable—a swipe at Beijing over the China-Pak Economic Corridor, which passes through PoK. Chinese premier Li Qiang was present at the SCO summit in Dushanbe.

Her plane. Her rules. 😎
Trivia: A frame from my Tarang Shakti work tour to Jodhpur last week. Coloured smoke from the Sarang helicopter stunt team fell onto this C295, leaving it looking more like a canvas than a military plane. The crew spent hours scrubbing off the dye.
Indian defence firm SMPP Ltd faces possible blacklisting over corruption allegations. Procurement rules for military hardware explicitly empower the government to suspend dealings with a company pending a full inquiry into alleged graft.

LUH, critical to meeting the operational requirements of the army & IAF, has entered the final stages of certification and mission equipment integration. HAL aims to deliver the first 12 limited series production LUHs in FY 2027-28.

A FINAL FIGHTER SORTIE. A LIFETIME OF PASSION.
At the controls of the indigenous Tejas, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, takes to the skies for his last fighter sortie — a defining moment in a distinguished career shaped by an abiding passion for flying and an unwavering commitment to serving the Nation.
Flying alongside Friendly Foreign Country aircraft and the Suryakiran Aerobatic Team during Exercise #TarangShakti26, the sortie reflects the spirit of a fighter pilot who has always believed in leading from the front.
As one chapter draws to a close, the passion remains undiminished. The skies may mark the end of a flying chapter, but the mission of service to the Nation continues.
Once a fighter pilot. Always a fighter pilot.
