China Pacific Alarm: China’s submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific drew US, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand backlash over transparency and nuclear signaling. India-Indonesia Missile Deal: Modi’s Indonesia visit produced major defense outcomes, including Indonesia’s planned BrahMos supersonic cruise missile procurement and Astra air-to-air missile cooperation.
