Earlier this month, a Chinese surveillance vessel rammed and sunk a Vietnamese fishing boat in the South China Sea — bringing into the spotlight Beijing’s multi-year assertions in the disputed waters. “Fundamentally, China has not let the Covid-19 outbreak dampen its pursuit of foreign policy issues,” said Kelsey Broderick, China analyst at consultancy Eurasia Group.

Further mistrust between the U.S. and China is unne…

In year 2006, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) took a radical tactical turn to use remote controlled claymore mines to block Madawachchi-Mannar and Habarana-Trinco supply routes.

The defense research units that attracted the volunteer support of several civilian engineers worked day and night to develop a counter measure to jam the LTTE remote controllers, based on some pieces of circuits found among the debris of explosions in the North. The rate of innovation of the LTTE side was so fast that the Gove…
