Rajnath Singh Warns China: Maintain Peace, But Operation Sindoor Will Continue to Defend Borders
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met Chinese counterpart Admiral Don Jun to send a clear dual-message: India seeks peace, but not at the cost of national security. Singh reiterated that Operation Sindoor—India's proactive anti-terror and border defense strategy—will continue without pause, signaling zero tolerance for cross-border threats. While discussing the restart of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, Singh also reminded China that spiritual diplomacy must be matched with respect for territorial integrity. The conversation comes after years of tensions post-Galwan and disengagement agreements at Demchok and Depsang. With NSA Doval also recently in Beijing, is the Dragon-Elephant equation finally rebalancing—or heading for a new friction point?

'Led To End Of Op Sindoor': Cong Jabs Centre As Trump Teases Trade Deal, Takes Shot At Jaishankar
As US President Donald Trump declared an imminent 'very big deal' with India, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the Centre, linking it to the "abrupt" conclusion of Operation Sindoor. The US president has consistently stated that he utilised trade discussions with India and Pakistan to halt confrontations following the Pahalgam terror attack, although India has consistently rejected these assertions. Jairam Ramesh demanded transparency from the government and urged Jaishankar to focus on addressing what he called a collapse in Indian diplomacy, instead of speaking about the Emergency imposed 50 years ago. #donaldtrump #indiadeal #jairamramesh #operationsindoor #pahalgamattack #sjaishankar #indiandiplomacy #transparency #tradetalks #usindia #congress #modigovt #foreignpolicy #bilateralrelations #nationalsecurity #politicalcriticism #internationalaffairs #pakistan #emergency #indiapakistan #toi #toibharat Read More

China in panic after witnessing destruction caused by US' B-2 bombers; experts say Beijing, Xi Jinping must...
The B-2 stealth bomber is the world's most expensive warplane. (File) B-2 stealth bomber: Earlier this month, the United States decimated Iranian nuclear sites as they used the B-2 stealth bombers to drop the massive 30,000lbs (13.6 tonne) GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP), aka the bunker buster bombs, on Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow nuclear facilities, which purportedly 'completely obliterated' these locations, according to US President Donald Trump. The US' use of the B-2 stealth bomber in Iran has become a hot topic of discussion among global strategic circles, and has sparked panic among Washington's rivals, including China, who have been stunned at the destructive effectiveness of the sixth-generation bomber jet, especially its ability to fly long distances. Chinese experts in awe of B-2 stealth bomber The B-2's performance has impressed Chinese experts, who are now calling upon Beijing to develop a similar bomber jet to maintain strategic parity with the United States. According to Song Zhongping, a military analyst and former instructor in China's People's Liberation Army (PLA), nothing, not even a latest 6th-generation fighter jet, can replace strategic bomber, even in an era where long-range attack missiles exist, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported. Zhongping notes that strategic bombers have the capability to carry both nuclear and conventional attack, which makes it strategic weapon that could turn the tide in favor of any army. How B-2 stealth bomber destroyed Iranian nuclear sites On June 22, the US military launched Operation Midnight Hammer, under which seven B-2 stealth bombers breached Iranian airspace and dropped its heavy GBU-57 bunker busting bombs on the country's top nuclear facilities, including Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. The bomber took off from the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, and flew for nearly 37 hours, taking the trans-Atlantic route via the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, and entered Iran's airspace from the west or southwest. This was the the longest mission for the B-2 bomber since 2001. After bombing Iranian nuclear facilities with impunity, the B-2 stealth bomber fleet left the Iranian airspace and returned without any resistance, a feat that has stunned Chinese experts, who now believe that strategic bombers are very important for the Chinese army due to their utility in attacking anywhere in the world and establishing nuclear deterrence. What makes the B-2 stealth bomber special? The Northrop B-2 Spirit, commonly known as the B-2 stealth bomber, is a heavy strategic bomber with low-observable stealth technology designed to evade dense anti-aircraft defenses. The B-2 bomber has a special radar-absorbent coating on its body, which absorbs radar signals and prevent them bouncing off the aircraft, significantly reducing detection chances by enemy radars. This unique technology also increases the B-2's speed, and its sleek body is designed in manner that drastically reduces the plane's radar cross-section. The B-2 stealth bomber is especially designed to carry heavy bombs, including the GBU-57 bunker buster, which it reportedly dropped on Iran's underground Fordow nuclear site during Sunday's attack. The heavy bomber can also carry nuclear bombs. Additionally, the B-2 has a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, making it capable of carrying out intercontinental strikes. China is currently flight-testing two different sixth-generation aircraft, the J-36 and J-50, however, even the most advanced 6th-gen stealth fighters are no match for a strategic bomber, due its long-flight capability, and the sheer volume of explosives it can carry, as per analysts.

'De-escalation, border management': Rajnath Singh chalks 4-point roadmap to end India's dispute with China
India's defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday, met with his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun, and chalked out a four-point roadmap to end India's dispute with China. During the talks, India and China's defence ministers agreed to continue consultations to achieve progress on "disengagement, de-escalation, border management and eventual de-limitation", as per an official statement. Rajnath Singh and Admiral Dong Jun met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers' Meeting in Qingdao, which marks the first high-level military engagement since India and China concluded the disengagement process at Demchok and Depsang Plains in October 2024. From strict adherence to the 2024 Disengagement Agreement to focusing on border management, here's a look at India's 4-point roadmap: 1. Adherence to 2024 Disengagement Agreement: Both nations are expected to fully implement the disengagement agreement signed in October 2024, particularly at the remaining friction points in Eastern Ladakh, including Demchok and Depsang. 2. Ongoing De-escalation efforts: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh emphasised the need for sustained efforts to reduce tensions and prevent any future incidents along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). 3. Demarcation and delimitation: Rajnath Singh also urged for expedited talks to finalise the boundary demarcation process. "Singh also stressed on border management and to have a permanent solution of border demarcation by rejuvenating the established mechanism on the issue," the government statement mentioned, referring to the border talks process between the Asian giants. 4. Bridging the Trust deficit: During his meeting with Admiral Dong, Rajnath Singh also called for bridging the trust deficit created after the 2020 standoff, India said in its statement. The SCO defence ministers, however, were unable to adopt a joint statement at the end of their meeting due to a lack of consensus on referring to "terrorism", India stated. Sharing a photo on X after the meeting, Rajnath Singh emphasised the importance of maintaining the "positive momentum" in India-China diplomatic relations. He also expressed happiness over the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, which has restarted after nearly six years. India and China share a 3, 800 km largely undemarcated and disputed border in the Himalayas and have gone to war over it. Following the border standoff in eastern Ladakh, India has consistently maintained that peace and stability along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are essential for normalising overall ties with China. The standoff began in May 2020, with a deadly clash in the Galwan Valley in June that year leading to a sharp deterioration in bilateral relations. The face-off effectively ended following the completion of the disengagement process from Demchok and Depsang's last two friction points under an agreement finalised on October 21.
