Reliance, Rolls-Royce plan joint production of fighter jet engines in India
RELIANCE Industries and Rolls-Royce have announced plans to jointly design and manufacture engines for India's multirole indigenous fighter jet programme. Reliance Industries Limited, India's largest private sector company, has been expanding into defence production in military aerospace and advanced munitions to support prime minister Narendra Modi's Make in India initiative. New Delhi, one of the world's largest arms importers, has made the modernisation of its defence forces a priority, with repeated efforts to increase domestic production. Rolls-Royce builds engines for commercial aircraft made by Airbus and Boeing, as well as engines for fighter jets. The two companies issued a joint statement announcing heir strategic intent to partner and offer capabilities for the design, development, manufacturing and delivery of a sovereign indigenous combat engine for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme. The statement did not disclose the scale of investment planned by the two companies for the partnership. The AMCA is India's fifth-generation stealth multirole fighter jet, developed locally for its air force. The partnership marks a major milestone towards building a robust, self-reliant aerospace ecosystem in the country, the statement quoted Rolls-Royce chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic as saying. Together, we aim to build an enduring national capability that can make India self-reliant and, over time, globally competitive in advanced propulsion technologies, said Reliance Executive Director Anant Ambani. India under Modi has prioritised modernisation of its military driven by a self-reliant and future-ready defence sector, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told soldiers on Friday on the eve of the country's 80th independence day. Last month, India approved the purchase of military equipment worth $5.46 billion, including missiles, electronic warfare systems and suicide drones. New Delhi has sought over the last decade to reduce its dependence on Russia, its traditional main supplier of military equipment, while turning to countries including the United States and France and increasing domestic production. A four-day conflict with nuclear-armed rival Pakistan last year highlighted the need for Delhi to upgrade its defence capabilities. India is also modernising its navy through domestic production of ships and submarines. Earlier this year, the government approved the purchase of $39 billion worth of defence equipment, including Rafale jets from France. India's current defence budget is $85 billion.

Japan + India = China's New Headache; New Defence, Supply Chain Web That's Challenging Beijing
Japan is looking beyond its traditional dependence on the United States and deepening defence ties with India and Australia. Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumis regional push comes as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East expose pressure on American weapons stockpiles and Chinese export controls sharpen Tokyos concerns about vulnerable supply chains. Koizumi has already called for consideration of a China-free defence-equipment supply chain. India is increasingly part of the answer. New Delhi and Tokyo are advancing the UNICORN naval communication system, expanding military exercises and discussing further defence-equipment and technology cooperation. Japan is simultaneously deepening industrial integration with Australia around Mogami-class frigates. This is not an Asian NATO or a replacement for Washington. It is a network of Indo-Pacific powers trying to become harder to pressureand less dependent on China. Here is why India could emerge as one of Japans most valuable defence partners.

1st Test: Suthar, Jadeja Help India Take 178-run Lead Despite Dinushas Maiden Ton (ld)
Galle International Stadium: Left-arm spinners Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja shared seven wickets between themselves as India bowled Sri Lanka out for 284 on Day Three of the first Test, and sealed a formidable 178-run first-innings lead before rain forced early stumps to be taken at the Galle International Stadium in Galle on Monday. Arriving on the tour with immense expectations, Suthar lived up to the billing by striking with his very first ball and finishing with 4-76 in a spell where he got turn and bounce while hitting the right lengths. His veteran spin partner Jadeja chipped in with 3-57, and even crossed the 350 Test-wicket mark. Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna took a wicket apiece to round off a thoroughly clinical collective bowling effort for India, who briefly entertained hopes of enforcing the follow-on after reducing the hosts to 90/5. However, Sonal Dinusha and Niroshan Dickwella mounted a stubborn recovery through a 146-run sixth-wicket partnership as the ball softened and lost its bite. The duo showed exceptional composure and absorbed pressure, including sweeping and reverse-sweeping very well, to deny India the opportunity to put pressure on them. While Dinusha pushed on to register a brilliant maiden Test hundred off 168 balls, Dickwella's search for an elusive three-figure score continued on his return to the format after nearly three years. The wicketkeeper-batter remains with the record for most Test half-centuries without a hundred when he fell for a well-made 80 off 115 balls as Krishna produced a beauty with the old ball to trigger the final collapse. In the morning, Indias first innings wrapped up inside four balls and less than three minutes for 462, after Asitha Fernando took out Prasidh Krishna when he gloved behind to Dickwella. After that, Indias bowlers immediately went to work and needed just two deliveries to get their first breakthrough. Siraj struck with a classic outswinger and induced an edge from Nishan Madushka to have him caught at first slip and send the opener back for a duck. After that, the Indian spin troika of Suthar, Kuldeep and Jadeja took complete control on a pitch offering sharp turn and bounce. Suthar made an immediate impact by striking with his very first delivery -- drawing Dinesh Chandimal forward with an immaculate piece of drift and spin and catching the glove edge, with Rishabh Pant completing a sharp catch behind the stumps. Suthar continued to press and built pressure with relentless accuracy to dismiss Lahiru Udara for 27, after he mistimed a cut off a bouncing and turning delivery to give a simple catch to backward point. At 53/3, Sri Lanka needed a partnership to stabilise their innings, but Indian captain Shubman Gill produced a moment of brilliance in the field to dent the hosts further. Diving full length to his left at short extra cover, Gill plucked a stunning one-handed catch inches above the turf to dismiss Kamindu Mendis for 14 off Kuldeeps bowling. Jadeja then joined in to complete a dominant display in the first session just three minutes before the lunch break. Operating with a tight stump-to-stump line, Jadeja extracted sharp turn to catch the outside edge of Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva (21), with KL Rahul diving low at first slip to complete the catch and get another session in Indias favour. Resuming from 99/5, Sri Lanka looked in danger of conceding a massive first-innings deficit. But Dickwella, playing a Test match after three years, and Dinusha exhibited exceptional composure on a turning pitch, including sweeping and reverse-sweeping very well, by adding 124 runs for the unbroken sixth-wicket stand, thus denying India the opportunity to put pressure on them. Dickwella was the initial aggressor, employing the sweep shot with great effect to disrupt India's spin rhythm. In the 32nd over, India burned a review when left-arm spinner Manav Suthar rapped Dickwella on the pads, only for the ball tracking to confirm the impact was outside off-stump. Ravindra Jadeja similarly came close to breaking the stand in the 35th over, appealing passionately for an LBW decision against Dickwella. India reviewed once more, but the ball-tracker showed the ball bouncing over the leg stump, costing the visitors their second review. Moments later, KL Rahul put down a sharp, high-chance edge at slip off Suthar to grant Dickwella another reprieve on 20. Capitalising on the missed opportunities, the wicketkeeper-batter brought up his 23rd Test half-century and the first one in four years off 68 balls with a flicked double off Jadeja in the 46th over. At the other end, Dinusha played a remarkably controlled knock, mixing soft-handed defence against the turning ball with calculated aggression, especially when deploying the sweep shot. In the 49th over, the youngster reached his second Test fifty off 93 balls by sweeping wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav to deep mid-wicket. He celebrated the milestone by launching Suthar over the deep mid-wicket boundary for a clean six. Indian skipper Shubman Gill rotated his attack, including bringing back pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna for brief spells of reverse swing, but the pitch yielded little joy for the seamers, as Dickwella and Dinusha brought Sri Lanka back into the match through a wicketless second session. Resuming the final session from a position of strength, Sri Lankas resistance dissolved once the sixth-wicket partnership was broken, as India's bowling unit tore through the lower order to claim the final five wickets for 50 runs. Dickwella signalled Sri Lanka's intent immediately after the tea break by ramping Krishna over the slips for four, while Dinusha greeted Jadeja with a towering slog-sweep for six. But Krishna provided the crucial breakthrough in the 62nd over as he found subtle movement away from Dickwella, who gave a faint edge behind to Rishabh Pant and ended a magnificent sixth-wicket stand. Jadeja then reached his milestone 350th Test wicket in bizarre fashion. Keshara Nuwantha drove a turning delivery straight into the knee of silly point fielder Yashasvi Jaiswal, with the deflection looping conveniently to Shubman Gill, who completed the catch at cover. The dismissal made Jadeja only the fourth player and second Indian overall to score more than 4000 runs and pick 350 wickets in mens Test cricket history after Kapil Dev, Daniel Vettori and Ian Botham. Jadeja has also become the ninth spinner, fifth Indian and 28th overall to take 350 Test wickets, with him also becoming the first Indian left-arm bowler to pick 350 wickets in Test cricket. Dinusha remained resolute amid the chaotic lower-order collapse, sweeping Suthar to deep square leg for a single to get his century in 167 balls. The milestone was swiftly followed by Indias knockout blow - Prabath Jayasuriya miscued a slog-sweep off Suthar to deep square leg, before Jadeja trapped Dinusha lbw with a delivery that bit sharply off the pitch. Suthar sealed Indias lead by having Lahiru Kumara stumped while charging down the pitch. The dismissal made Jadeja only the fourth player and second Indian overall to score more than 4000 runs and pick 350 wickets in mens Test cricket history after Kapil Dev, Daniel Vettori and Ian Botham. Jadeja has also become the ninth spinner, fifth Indian and 28th overall to take 350 Test wickets, with him also becoming the first Indian left-arm bowler to pick 350 wickets in Test cricket.
