The two discuss: * Why the IAF hasn’t fully accepted the Mark 1A yet * The GE 404 and 414 engine bottleneck * Indigenous content — how Indian is Tejas really? * The HAL–IAF dynamic and the larger structural silos * Why fighter squadron anxiety is shaping procurement decisions Tune in!

    Why India Wants To Buy 114 Rafale Jets & What That Means for Tejas, AMCA |S3| 41

    With the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) clearing the monumental Rs 3.25 lakh crore deal for 114 Rafale jets just as French President Emmanuel Macron lands in India, the Indian Air Force is closer to getting the muscle it desperately needs. But what does this "Mother of All Deals" mean for India's indigenous fighter programs? In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan unpack the proposed Rafale deal and break down the strategic and financial realities of buying 114 Rafales. The two explore the 'Make in India' angle of the deal and what it means for India's private sector. Most importantly, Dev and Sandeep ask the tough question: Will paying for 114 French jets bankrupt the homegrown Tejas Mk2 or is it a calculated move to buy time and secure our skies?

    Kaveri to Tejas Delays: Crisis of India's Missing Jet Engine |S3| 40

    How is that India, a country capable of sending probes to the dark side of the Moon, still struggles to build a fighter jet engine? With the deliveries of the Tejas Mk1A delayed due to supply chain issues with the GE F404 engines, the spotlight is back on India's critical vulnerability: we don't have a heart for our fighter jets. In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and defence and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan sit down to demystify the magic of jet engine technology. From the "Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow" basics to the high-tech world of Single Crystal Blades and metallurgy that operates above melting points, the two break down exactly why this technology is the exclusive domain of just a handful of nations. The episode also digs deep into the history of the DRDO's Kaveri engine project. Was it really a failure and was putting it on the backburner a mistake? Plus, what can we expect from the upcoming mega-deal with France's Safran for the AMCA's engine? Tune in! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Aman Pal

    A new report by a Swiss research centre has brought the 2025 four-day mini-war between India and Pakistan back in limelight.

The two decode what the report has to say not just about the Sindoor air battles but also the dogfight that took place in the aftermath of the Balakot airstrike in 2019.  Link to the report: https://chpm.ch/wp-content/upl...

    It has been 19 years in the making. From the original MMRCA tender in 2007 to the emergency purchase in 2016, and now, finally MRFA, the "Mother of All Defence Deals" seems ready for ink.

In this episode of In Our Defence, Dev Goswami sits down with national security expert Sandeep Unnithan to decode the deal. The two trace the origins of the Indian Air Force's hunt for a fighter jet to the post-Kargil years and look at the various stumbling blocks along the way that have kept the deal from taking off. The two also discuss just how dire the situation is for the Indian Air Force and why this reported deal to buy 114 Rafale jets is a "now or never" moment. Tune in!

    The US Raid to Capture Maduro and the Indian 'Snatch Op' That Never Was | S3 | Ep 36

    On January 3, 2026, the United States military changed the rules of engagement. In a lightning-fast raid involving 150 aircraft and Delta Force operators, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was captured from his palace in Caracas. The US calls it Operation Absolute Resolve. The world calls it the boldest special operation in history. But beyond the headlines, how does a raid like this actually work? It’s not just bearded men kicking down doors -- it’s cyber warfare, diplomatic wrangling, and domain superiority. In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan break down the mechanics of the Maduro snatch. They also talk about a little-known Indian operation called Operation Sundown -- an aborted 1983 plan to snatch Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale from the Golden Temple using similar tactics. Tue in!
