Tensions flare close to home, with Liam Garman and Robert Dougherty

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, hosts Liam Garman and Robert Dougherty explore the recent spiking of international conflict with cross-border attacks between India and Pakistan, Russia’s Victory Day parade and a US presidential visit to the Middle East.

The pair discuss a range of topics, including:

• The recent clashes and weaponry being deployed by Pakistani and Indian military forces in the disputed region of Kashmir and along the Line of Control.
• The cyber attacks by state-sponsored actors against both countries, as well as the larger “West versus East” alliances at work behind the scenes.
• Russia’s 80th anniversary of the Victory Day parade in Moscow as well as key diplomatic moments and new equipment seen during the commemoration.
• The Ukrainian government’s innovative launch of a new online defence tech marketplace to bridge the gap between military units and defence industry products under a first-of-its-kind “Brave1 Market” online platform.
• The final wrap-up of US President Donald Trump's whirlwind visit to the Middle East and some of the backroom negotiations being done there.
