Pakistan Navy Deploys Chinese-built Missile-Tracking Vessel ‘PNS Rizwan’
The Pakistan Navy has formally activated its first dedicated missile-range instrumentation and intelligence-gathering ship, the PNS Rizwan. The vessel was acquired from China in June 2023. It recently began operating in the Arabian sea.

A friend of mine is currently traveling across Africa to secure supply chains. A lot of raw materials from the continent are increasingly being routed to China, which is starting to impact European access.
Interestingly, someone who had barely stepped out of an air-conditioned office was last seen in Casablanca two weeks ago and is now mostly reachable only over text due to patchy connectivity.
From what they’re observing on the ground, elements like neodymium and samarium are drawing significant attention. Morocco, often seen as a French gateway into Africa, is active but for now, it seems largely capped at phosphates rather than rare earth. So more sources for increased requirement (from Radar to EW).
Bayan Obo (Inner Mongolia) accounts for ~80%+ of China’s reserves, which are 50% of world reserve and still china is importing raw material from Africa. China imports rare-earth raw material from Africa not because it lacks resources, but to protect, optimize, and dominate the full value chain. Kill any competition in the business..

@alpha_defense Probably this is in favour of Saudi-Pakistan Defence Pact.
Pakistan has deployed a Fighter squadron in Saudi alongwith thousands of troops.
May be same Deal with Qatar will happen very soon.
English

@idrwalerts Infact we should scrap Rafale Deal.
Rafale has it's order book already overloaded, that's why they aren't interested in sharing a source code.
If possible we shall go with SU-57E
100+100(Direct from Russia+HAL Nashik).
Design AMCA as 5++ Generation.

Rafale Source Code Crisis: Why India Must Rethink the 114-Jet Deal as France Withholds Rafale’s Core Tech

Final takeaway:
More systems ≠ stronger defence
Right system
Right layer
Right cost
That’s how wars are won.
English

@idrwalerts 1/
If a war starts tomorrow, India will NOT try to stop every missile.
That’s a myth.
Real strategy?
👉 Survive the first strike
👉 Stay operational
👉 Hit back harder
Here’s how India’s air defence actually fights 🇮🇳🧵

Why Fancy Fighters and Rockets Alone Won't Save India in the Next Border Crisis

@idrwalerts 15/
Winning playbook 🇮🇳
✔️ Mass anti-drone systems
✔️ Layered defence
✔️ Smart ammo usage
✔️ Indigenous scale (like Kusha, Akash)
English

@idrwalerts 14/
Harsh truth:
Air defence is an ECONOMIC WAR
Enemy strategy:
“Make India spend ₹10Cr to stop ₹10K threats”
English

@idrwalerts 13/
Real war goal isn’t “zero damage”
It’s this:
👉 Airbases still active
👉 Power grid still running
👉 Command intact
If that holds… you win.
English

@idrwalerts 12/
Even with best defence:
✔️ 80–90% missiles stopped
✔️ 60–80% drones stopped
⚠️ Some WILL hit
That’s why resilience > perfection
English

@idrwalerts 11/
Drone killers are NOT fancy
👉 Guns like L-70 anti-aircraft gun
👉 Short-range systems
👉 GPS jamming
Simple. Cheap. Scalable. Deadly.
English

@idrwalerts 10/
Modern defence = smart filtering
👉 Expensive missiles → high-value threats
👉 Cheap systems → cheap threats
Otherwise?
You run out of ammo before enemy runs out of drones.
English

@idrwalerts 9/
Biggest mistake India can make?
Using S-400 vs drones
That’s like:
💸 Burning ₹5Cr to stop ₹50K
You lose even if you “win”.
English

@idrwalerts 8/
Now the real danger 👇
SCENARIO 2:
1000+ cheap drones + missile barrage
This is Ukraine-style warfare.
And it changes EVERYTHING.
English

@idrwalerts 7/
Result of Scenario 1:
✔️ Delhi & Mumbai still running
✔️ Enemy losses high
⚠️ Some hits land
Because PERFECT defence doesn’t exist.
English

@idrwalerts 6/
Final defence layers:
Pantsir-S1
+
L-70 anti-aircraft gun
These stop:
👉 drones
👉 low-flying threats
👉 last-minute leaks
Unglamorous. Absolutely critical.
English

@idrwalerts 5/
But here’s the twist 👇
Wars aren’t won by S-400s.
They’re won by the boring, less famous systems like
Akash missile system
👉 This layer does MOST of the killing.
