Top 10 Defense Technology Leaders (Momentum) — 2025 | India Rises to #1

Описание: Top 10 Defense Technology Leaders (Momentum) — 2025
🚀 Which nations are driving the next generation of defense technology right now?

In this new Gazett.eu Global Momentum Ranking, we identify the Top 10 Defense Technology Leaders (as of October 2025) — nations that have achieved exceptional breakthroughs, indigenization progress, and innovation momentum over the last 18 months.

Unlike legacy power indexes, this model measures technological acceleration — not just existing arsenals. Our approach reflects which nations are rapidly expanding their R&D, startup ecosystems, and high-tech defense exports.

🌍 INSIGHT — INDIA’S RISE TO #1 (OCT 2025)

India claims the #1 spot for 2025 momentum, driven by landmark developments:
• Successful MIRV Agni-5 “Mission Divyastra” flight test (Mar 2024), confirming multiple independently targetable warhead capability.
• Record defense exports in FY 2024–25 at ₹23,622 crore (≈ US$ 2.76 billion), the highest in India’s history.
• Expansion of iDEX and iDEX Prime initiatives supporting over 300 startups and rapid prototyping.
• Indigenous production of LCA Tejas Mk1A, with HAL’s new line opened Oct 2025, boosting domestic aerospace output.
• Synergy between ISRO’s Aditya-L1 and Gaganyaan programs, accelerating dual-use tech integration.

Together these achievements make India the fastest-advancing defense-tech power in late 2025.
