Strategic Vanguard examines key themes such as Indo-Pacific geopolitics, naval strategy, aircraft carriers, air and missile defence, subsea warfare, defence industrial ecosystems, and future warfare technologies. A defining feature of the platform is its emphasis on lawfare, UNCLOS, maritime governance, sanctions regimes, and the rules-based international order, treating law as an active instrument of state power.

War today is no longer fought only with soldiers, ships, and missiles.
It is fought in courtrooms, treaties, legal narratives, and international institutions.
This is lawfare — where law itself becomes a weapon.
From territorial and maritime disputes to sanctions, cyber operations, and hybrid warfare, legal frameworks now shape how conflicts are justified, constrained, and remembered. Military victories matter, but legal legitimacy often decides long-term outcomes.

Aircraft carrier power is often misunderstood as a numbers game.
In reality, it’s about endurance.
To keep one aircraft carrier continuously deployed, a navy needs three—
one deployed, one training, one in refit.
This is the Rule of Three, and it explains why real naval power is structural, not symbolic.
