Battle Under the Waves: Russian Spy Technology Targets British Nuclear Submarines
According to The Sunday Times, these spy devices are believed to have been tactically deployed by Russian agents to monitor the patrols of Britain's Vanguard-class nuclear submarines—the sea-based pillar of Britain's Permanent At Sea Deterrent (CASD).
In a revelation that highlights the escalating undersea intelligence conflict between major powers, British military forces have recovered secret Russian surveillance devices hidden within UK territorial waters—a possible sign of Moscow's growing desire to penetrate Britain's most sensitive nuclear deterrent capabilities.
These sensors, which washed ashore at several coastal locations, were first discovered by personnel from the UK Ministry of Defence, while additional devices were spotted by Royal Navy units conducting surveillance and patrol missions within UK maritime zones.
According to The Sunday Times, these devices are believed to have been deployed to track the covert patrols of British Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines, which form the backbone of the UK's permanent at-sea nuclear deterrent.
A senior British military officer told the newspaper: "There's no doubt about it—there's a war going on in the Atlantic. It's a cat-and-mouse game that's been going on since the end of the Cold War, and now it's intensifying. We're seeing an unprecedented level of Russian activity."
The UK Ministry of Defence, in keeping with its long-standing policy on national security incidents, has refused to disclose full operational details of the sensor retrievals, citing the highly classified nature of these intelligence findings.
However, these Russian activities are not merely passive surveillance. British intelligence assessments point to a broader pattern of hybrid undersea operations led by the Russian Navy and its subordinate intelligence directorates.
A Sunday Times investigation has revealed that Russian unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) have been spotted near deep-sea communications cables—the strategic arteries that carry the vast majority of internet and military communications data around the world.
In escalating Western concerns, Western intelligence sources suspect that luxury yachts owned by oligarchs close to the Kremlin have been secretly converted into mobile reconnaissance platforms, capable of deploying vehicles or sonar devices during ostensibly touristic trips in European waters.
The British Royal Navy has identified other Russian sensors buried on the seabed, raising concerns that Moscow is building an undersea intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) network capable of tracking the movements of British nuclear submarines in real time.
According to confidential Royal Navy assessments, one of the most serious threats to the security of Western deep-sea infrastructure comes from the Russian dual-use vessel Yantar, which has repeatedly been linked to underwater surveillance missions under the guise of scientific research.
Yantar is operated by the Directorate for Deep-Sea Research (GUGI), a secretive branch of the Russian Ministry of Defense that specializes in deep-sea military research, sabotage operations, and spying on submarine cables at great depths.
The 108-meter-long, 5,500-ton Yantar is equipped with manned submersibles and highly capable unmanned vehicles capable of diving to depths of 6,000 meters—far beyond the capabilities of most conventional anti-submarine technologies.
The vessel has been sighted several times near critical deep-sea infrastructure, including internet cables, military fiber optic lines, and undersea energy pipelines that form the geostrategic backbone of European civil and military infrastructure.

Pantsir-S1 system and Russian fighter jet shoot down seven Russian drones
In a remarkable development, Russian forces shot down seven of their own drones flying over the Mykolaiv region of Ukraine, following an order from President Vladimir Putin to halt attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
This directive came after a phone call between Putin and US President Donald Trump, according to a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry. The drones were targeting energy facilities linked to the Ukrainian military-industrial complex but were shot down by Russian air defenses, with Pantsir systems responsible for downing six of them and a single fighter jet downing the seventh.
The exact timing of the conversation between Putin and Trump was unclear, but the Kremlin described it as a detailed exchange focused on de-escalating hostilities, raising questions about whether it represents a shift in Russian military strategy or merely a temporary gesture linked to broader negotiations.
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that the drones were shot down in direct response to Putin's order, noting that the targets were energy sites in Mykolaiv, a southern region vital to Ukrainian industrial production.
Ukrainian authorities have yet to confirm the nature of the targets, but the area has previously been a focus of Russian strikes aimed at disrupting energy supplies and military logistics.
The ministry's statement said that the decision to shoot down the aircraft came after they had already taken off, indicating a rapid change in orders that caught operational units off guard.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that Putin's directives were implemented immediately, confirming that information regarding the cessation of energy attacks was widely available. However, he declined to elaborate on the conversation between Putin and Trump, leaving room for speculation about its influence on the Kremlin's decisions.
While no Russian strikes on energy targets in Mykolaiv were recorded on March 18, according to Ukrainian military sources quoted by the Kyiv Independent, this development is consistent with Moscow's announcement of its commitment to halting attacks that night.
However, the absence of strikes in Mykolaiv does not necessarily reflect a radical change in Russian strategy, as attacks have continued in other parts of Ukraine.
On the Ukrainian side, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered a different account. In a Telegram post, he noted that Russian forces launched approximately 40 Shahed drones over several areas that night, some of which struck civilian facilities, including a hospital in Sumy.
Zelenskyy wrote, "It is these night attacks by Russia that are destroying our energy, our infrastructure, and the normal lives of Ukrainians," questioning the seriousness of the Russian announcement to halt attacks on energy facilities.
He believed that the timing of the attacks, coming hours after the conversation between Putin and Trump, undermined any claim of de-escalation, emphasizing that "Russia's actions speak louder than its words." He added that Ukrainian air defenses were able to intercept several drones, but some damage was recorded in scattered areas.
For its part, the White House offered its own account of the Trump-Putin conversation, stating that the two leaders agreed to begin halting attacks on energy infrastructure as a first step toward broader peace negotiations.
A White House statement said the discussions also included technical arrangements for a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea, indicating a multilateral approach to de-escalating tensions. After the call, Trump described the talks as "good and productive," expressing optimism about ending the war.
"There's a very good chance we can end it," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, but he did not specify any timelines or conditions.
The Kremlin, however, clarified that Putin had not agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire proposed by the United States and Ukraine, arguing that any truce would benefit Ukrainian forces, reflecting ongoing tensions in the diplomatic negotiations.

The Iskander-1000 system: How is Europe preparing for the Russian ballistic threat?
In the context of its clash with the West, Russia is currently seeking to modernize its arsenal of medium-range ballistic missiles; which may herald the outbreak of a new missile arms race between it and the rest of the countries of the old continent. The latest indications of this race came in the announcement of the development of a new version of its Iskander-M ballistic missile system, a version bearing the -unofficial- name - "Iskander-1000".
The development of the Russian "Iskander-1000" missile comes after reports circulated about improvements being made to the "Iskander" and "Kinzhal" missile systems to increase the range, enhance the power of warheads, and improve the ability to maneuver against air defense systems. These developments are in line with Russia’s response to the US announcement in July 2024 of plans to deploy medium-range ballistic missile systems in Germany by 2026.
It is well known that over the past months, Europe has undergone a fundamental strategic shift due to the repercussions of the war in Ukraine, and it appears to be rushing towards an arms race similar to what occurred at the end of the Cold War. This race revolves around Russian medium-range ballistic missiles, those with a range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers, which no longer threaten Ukraine alone, but also put all of Europe in the crosshairs of Russian fire.
Ballistic missiles pose a double challenge due to their high speed and maneuverability compared to other conventional weapons, which makes confronting them more complex, and the United States is at the forefront of the most advanced countries in the field of defensive technology against these threats, as it possesses the “Thaad” defense system.
European countries rely primarily on American early warning systems to monitor these threats, but today they find themselves facing a serious defensive challenge, as systems capable of intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles are not available, due to the decline in threats from the Cold War era, in addition to the decline in American support, as Europe today feels that it has become exposed to the possibility of an unprecedented military escalation, and it must prepare for it alone this time.
These circumstances remind us of what happened in the late seventies of the last century, when the European continent found itself in the heart of an existential crisis; with the escalation of Cold War confrontations, the Soviet Union began deploying "SS-20" medium-range ballistic missiles, capable of targeting European capitals within minutes. NATO responded quickly by deploying American "Pershing 2" and "Cruise" ballistic missile systems in West Germany; which led to the escalation of a frenzied arms race, with the European continent turning into a potential nuclear battlefield for an entire decade.

The “Egyptian” J-10CE fighter jet is equipped with a new radar and long-range missiles
China displayed a J-10CE fighter jet, bearing the tail number 74825, as the first fighter jet at the 2024 Zhuhai Air Show. Following this aircraft’s arrival, another one bearing the serial number 9001, bearing only the logo of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), is widely expected to join the Egyptian Air Force.
This model of the J-10CE includes several upgrades, such as a dual-stage missile suspension system that accommodates two short-range missiles, and six long-range missiles (BVR), in addition to external fuel tanks, which increases its payload and operational range.
Since 2019, China has promoted the J-10CE, manufactured by Chengdu Aviation Industry Corporation, as an export version of the J-10C, a single-engine, single-seat, multi-role fighter for all weather conditions.
The J-10CE integrates the KLJ-10 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, designed to improve detection and targeting in dense electromagnetic interference environments. Located in the nose of the aircraft, this radar is said to offer an additional detection advantage of about 50 kilometers compared to the F-16C’s Block 52 radar, potentially allowing the J-10CE to engage targets at greater distances. Its long-range combat capabilities are supported by the PL-15 missile, which has a range of 200–300 kilometers, enabling it to engage targets at long ranges. Development of the J-10 series began with the deployment of the J-10A in 2004, which featured a modernized cockpit, advanced targeting systems, and a delta wing design with canard surfaces for improved maneuverability. This was followed by the J-10B in 2008, which added a Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA) radar, a Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS), and a Super High-Speed Unobstructed Inlet (DSI) design. The J-10C, which entered service in 2015, saw the introduction of an AESA radar, improved radar warning receivers, satellite communications, and data links to enhance combat situational awareness.
The J-10C compares favorably with single-engine fighters such as the F-16 and Gripen in terms of combat awareness and detection capabilities.
In 2022, Pakistan received the first batch of six J-10CEs, which were later displayed at a military parade on the occasion of National Day. Pakistani officials, including Squadron Leader Ubar, evaluated the aircraft’s performance in long-range combat and close-in engagements.
Ubar praised the J-10CE’s combat awareness, range, and maneuver capabilities that enable it to engage targets at distances beyond the F-16C’s radars. He noted that the AESA radar, in conjunction with the PL-15 missile, provides a significant advantage in detection and range, strengthening Pakistan’s air defense in long-range combat.
However, Opar pointed to some limitations, particularly with regard to the fighter’s external suspension capacity, which he considered less than its Western counterparts such as the F-16C. However, the recent demonstration of the J-10CE with composite missile pods may indicate attempts to address these limitations and increase the missile payload.
The J-10CE’s canard design also gives it high maneuverability, but it may face challenges in sustained close combat if the enemy aircraft has a higher power reserve. Opar also pointed to the fighter’s indigenously developed 10B turbofan engine, which supports the fighter’s vertical maneuvering capabilities.
The J-10CE has been marketed as a cost-effective alternative to Western fighters, targeting countries seeking advanced capabilities without Western political conditions. Since its introduction at the 2019 Dubai Airshow, it has been promoted as an option for countries that want to balance technology and cost.
The J-10CE’s role in China’s military export strategy is reflected in its participation in air shows. As a modern and cost-competitive aircraft, it provides an option for countries seeking to modernize their fleets and acquire advanced air defense systems within limited budgets.

Su-57 Debut in India Forces US to Cancel
F-35 Air Show – Reports
Amid growing speculation about the Indian Defense Ministry’s plans to buy Russia’s fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jets , the aircraft made its debut at India’s largest air show, Aero India 2025, where it faced off for the first time against its American rival, the F-35. The two fighters are the only ones of their generation in production alongside the Chinese J-20
According to Russian sources, the presence of the Su-57 at Aero India led the US Air Force to cancel the airshow of both the F-35 and F-16 just days before the show. “As experience shows, our competitors are not ready for fair competition,” Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov commented on the development.
The US is trying to export F-16s to India, and some official statements have indicated the possibility of supplying the F-35 as well, while Russia continues to offer the Su-57 to India. Analysts believe that the cancellation of the US aircraft’s air shows may be aimed at avoiding comparisons with the Su-57, especially since the Russian fighter’s flight performance is considered significantly superior, especially at low speeds.
more advanced than those of the Su-57, its flight performance is the weakest of its generation. In contrast, the Su-57 has superior maneuverability at low speeds, using three-dimensional thrust vectoring engines to achieve high flight performance. Its AL-41F1 engines are said to allow it to fly at supersonic speeds without the need for afterburners, unlike the F-35's. These engines are expected to be replaced by the more powerful and easy-to-maintain AL-51F engines from 2025 .
The Su-57’s air show performance could put the F-35 and F-16 in an uncomfortable position, which could increase popular support in India for the Su-57. However, the F-35’s strengths lie in its advanced avionics, which include sophisticated data links, passive electronic sensors, and a distributed aperture system, making it a formidable fighter.
The F-35’s avionics, armament, and stealth characteristics are more advanced than the Su-57, while the Russian fighter focuses on long range, deploying a larger sensor suite, and ease of maintenance to increase combat readiness. Despite previous concerns by the Indian Air Force about significant delays in the Su-57’s development, the aircraft has undergone extensive combat testing in Ukraine, including suppression of air defenses, air-to-air combat, operations in highly hostile airspace, and precision strikes.
For the Indian Air Force, the F-35 purchase is not thought to be under consideration because of the strict restrictions the US imposes on how its fighters can be used. As former Air Marshal Anil Chopra noted ahead of the air show, New Delhi “remains wary of the US’s tendency to pressure and abandon allies when its interests conflict with them, as well as its potential expectation that India will move away from Russia.”
Chopra stressed that “choosing a reliable partner that does not impose undue pressure is of utmost importance,” which strongly hinted at ruling out the US and the F-35, leaving the Su-57 as India’s only option for purchasing a fifth-generation fighter over the next decade.
Washington is trying by all means to prevent India from buying advanced weapons from Russia, including threatening to impose economic sanctions.

Top 10 Military Budgets in the World in 2025
To maintain economic stability, geopolitical influence, and national security, any country’s defense budget is of paramount importance.
A well-funded military is essential to maintaining sovereignty, deterring threats, and protecting long-term national interests, although some argue that excessive military spending diverts funds from vital social services.
The country's large defense budget allows it to build a strong army capable of protecting its borders from external threats.
In an era of rising geopolitical tensions, cyber warfare, and terrorism, having a well-equipped military becomes essential to prevent and address security challenges.
States with insufficient defense budgets are vulnerable to foreign incursion, internal instability, or even border disputes.
One of the most significant benefits of a large defense budget is enhanced defensive capabilities, which deters hostile groups or rival states from launching an attack.
Innovation in science and technology is also often stimulated by defense funding.
Huge defense budgets fund research and development, leading to innovative ideas that are often used in non-defense sectors, boosting the economy overall.
Powerful countries need a strong military to protect their interests abroad, whether it's protecting trade channels, dealing with global emergencies, or participating in peacekeeping missions.
Moreover, strong defense capabilities are often associated with greater diplomatic influence of a state.
Countries that contribute to collective security receive more respect and cooperation from other countries.
A strong military ensures that a country's voice is heard in international affairs and improves its standing in security agreements, international organizations, and negotiations.
Accordingly, here is a list of the top 10 military budgets in the world for the year 2025 according to data from the Global Firepower website .

Daily Report on World Air Defense Systems
Missile Defense Systems by Country
Missile defense systems are a type of defense designed to protect a country from incoming missiles, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or other ballistic missiles. The United States, Russia, India, France, Israel, Italy, the United Kingdom, China, and Iran have all developed missile defense systems.
The term “missile defense system” generally means any system that provides protection against any type of missile (whether conventional or nuclear) by any country.
A mechanism that can detect a missile and then destroy it before it can cause any damage is known as a missile defense system (MDS).
The role of defense against nuclear missiles has been a hot military and political topic for several decades. However, missile defense is no longer limited to intercepting strategic nuclear weapons. The gradual development and proliferation of missile technology has led to an overlap in the techniques used to intercept tactical missiles (usually short- to medium-range with non-nuclear payloads) and those used to intercept strategic missiles (usually long-range with nuclear payloads). High-performance tactical missiles are now able to influence the strategic balance in conflict zones, and tactical missile defence systems are now able to influence force deployment strategies.
Europe
France, Italy, and the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom, France, and Italy developed a programme called PAAMS (also known as Sea Viper in the UK) in the late 1990s. It was developed to arm the Horizon-class frigate (a joint programme between the three countries). The UK withdrew from the programme due to unresolved differences, and decided to design and build its own Type 45 destroyer while continuing to use the PAAMS system.
After the UK withdrew, France and Italy incorporated a ground-based anti-ballistic missile system into the plans, and developed SAMPT – a truck-launched anti-ballistic missile system using PAAMS technology.
Germany and others
Since October 2022, 22 European countries have joined the German-led European Sky Shield initiative to collectively purchase and maintain air defence systems.
India
There are two systems in the planning and testing stages. The air defence network consists of two main components: the Air Defence Ground Environment System (ADGES) and the Basic Air Defence Zones (BADZ).
ADGES provides wide-area radar coverage and enables detection and interception of most air intrusions into Indian airspace. BADZ features a higher concentration of radars, interceptors, surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) units to provide a dense defensive barrier to protect critical targets.
Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme (under development)
Long-Range Air Defence: S-400, Project Kusha (under development)
Medium-Range Air Defence: Barak 8, Akash NG (user trials)
Short-Range Air Defence (Point Defence): QRSAM, Akash, S-125 Pechora (to be retired) and others
Ballistic Missile Defence Programme
Russia
The Russian A-135 ballistic missile defense system is currently operational only around Moscow and is being upgraded to protect major cities in Russia. This Russian military system was deployed around Moscow to intercept hostile missiles targeting the city or its surrounding areas, and became operational in 1995. It is considered the successor to the earlier A-35 system and is bound by the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, from which the United States unilaterally withdrew in 2002.
The system entered active service on February 17, 1995. Although still operational, the 53T6 (SH-11) component has been deactivated (as of February 2007) and is expected to be replaced by a newer missile. A test version of the system is at the Sary Shagan site in Kazakhstan.
Russian air defense systems such as the S-300PMU1 and PMU2 are capable of intercepting short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), while the S-300V and S-400 Triumf systems can intercept multiple attacks from intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs).
These systems have been purchased by Turkey, India, China, Saudi Arabia and South Korea, while other countries such as Iran and Belarus have shown interest.
The upgraded S-300VM/VMK is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles with a range of up to 2,500 km and an entry speed of 4.5 km/s. The S-400 is claimed to be capable of intercepting missiles with a range of up to 3,500 km and an entry speed of 4.8-5 km/s. The system, designed to intercept warheads with a speed of 5 km/s, can act as a defense system against simple warheads of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that typically travel at speeds of 7 km/s.
In addition to the main deployment around Moscow, Russia is actively seeking to enhance the capabilities of its late-stage air defense systems to counter ballistic and cruise missiles. These systems include:
S-300P (SA-10)
S-300V (SA-12A/B Giant/Gladiator)
S-300PMU-1/2 (SA-20A/B Gargoyle)
S-400 (SA-21)
S-500 (in development)
United States
The US Sentinel missile defense program was planned as a national defense program during the 1970s, but was never deployed. Elements of it were briefly deployed under the Safeguard program, but it did not have a national scope. Since the 1990s, the United States has developed a National Missile Defense program, renamed in 2002 to refer to the entire program and not just the ground-based interceptors and associated facilities.
Elements not yet integrated into the National Missile Defense (NMD) system include anti-ballistic missiles, laser-based naval and space-based systems, and high-altitude missile systems.
This program was designed to counter a small attack by intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) from a technologically unsophisticated adversary, in contrast to the older Strategic Defense Initiative program, which was intended to be a robust shield against a large attack by a technologically advanced adversary.
As of 2012, the system is operational in a limited capacity. In early April 2013, the Pentagon announced plans to deploy 14 additional interceptors to Alaska in response to North Korea's threats to use nuclear weapons against the United States. A THAAD battery has also been deployed to Guam.
China
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) currently has the KT series of anti-ballistic missiles, as well as limited anti-ballistic missile capabilities in the HQ-9, KS, and HQ-16 systems.
During the Cold War, China tested the FJ ABM project to defend against ballistic missiles, but it was eventually cancelled.
There are four versions of the Russian S-300 system in service: the PMU, PMU1, PMU2 and the naval model S-300FM Rif. The naval Rif is based on the S-300PMU1 and equips the Chinese Type 51C Luzhou air defense destroyers, enabling them to help protect coastal sites against short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) attacks.
The S-300PMU2 has the best chance of intercepting SRBMs because it uses the 48N6E2 missile with a warhead specifically designed to destroy ballistic missiles, along with improved kinetic performance compared to the previous 48N6 missile.
The HQ-9 may have some anti-ballistic missile capabilities. New missiles are currently under development, the HQ-19, HQ-26 and HQ-29.
On 11 January 2007, China successfully tested an anti-satellite missile using the KT-1 missile equipped with a Kinetic Kill Vehicle.
In 2010, China successfully tested its exoatmospheric intercept capability, becoming only the second country after the United States to achieve this feat. The system was successfully retested on January 27, 2013 and September 8, 2017.
