Project 18: The Making of a Super Destroyer.

A 🧵 on Project 18. Image 1) P18 is expected to be the next generation of destroyers being designed for the Indian Navy. One of few projects in the Indian Defence space that actually excites me. It’ll be close to a 13000-ton class vessel with significant layered capabilities for both offence and defence.

CATS Warrior is an important part of the CATS(Combat Air Teaming System).

Let's explore.

It is a loyal wingman drone being developed by HAL. It will fly alongside fighters like Tejas/Su-30MKI to scout, strike, jam, and take hits, so pilots stay safe. Image It's a low-observable (stealthy) unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) acting as a "loyal wingman".
Key roles:

🔹Real-time ISR (intelligence, surveillance, recon)
🔹Precision strikes with internal weapons
🔹Electronic warfare / jamming
🔹High-risk decoy to protect manned jets. Image

The U.S. "manufacturing renaissance" everyone talks about? It's almost entirely AI & data centers.
CHIPS Act + IRA poured hundreds of billions into chips/EVs/batteries.
But traditional sectors—steel, autos, building materials, furniture—are barely moving. Weak housing sector. Every new home built ripples through dozens of industries: plumbing, electrical, furniture, appliances, manual trades, local retail.
High economic multiplier (~3x).
Data centers? Heavy upfront construction jobs, then mostly automation. Few ongoing roles, narrow benefits.
