WASHINGTON — Money is pouring into defense technology firms, but key areas like critical minerals and components like semiconductors or solid rocket motors remain an underfunded gap in the industrial base, according to a new study by the Aerospace Industries Association and Bain & Company. And while venture capital funding for defense has increased by 10 times since 2019, other funding pools like private equity remain relatively untapped by defense companies, the study found. “Defense does not face a shortage of capital. It faces barriers that make expanded investment, particularly in critical bottleneck areas, more difficult,” states the study. “The…

In the early hours of September 15, Khieo Lapchanh, a 26-year-old Lao content creator, finished his shift at a restaurant in Thailand’s Samut Sakhon province and vanished. The following day, he was due at the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for his first asylum registration interview. He never arrived. Khieo came to Thailand in 2019 and late last year began posting Facebook videos sharply critical of the Lao government. Within months, his Khiew Channel Facebook page had amassed some 159,000 followers. Among his targets was the Siphandone dynasty, whose hold on high office runs from former president…

The deal, signed Sept. 24, appears to be Uvision’s first public announcement about inroads in the Baltic state, which is known for its software capabilities and is rushing to beef up its low-cost munitions options. Ran Gozali, the CEO of Uvision, noted in the statement that “AI-enabled autonomy is becoming increasingly important in addressing the complexity of modern operational environments.” He said the partnership will enable the companies…

For three years, small-scale pro-Palestine protests, centered around Israel’s human rights abuses in Gaza, have become common in Thailand. A few dozen left-wing activists would turn out to chant slogans more commonly associated with the massive street demonstrations in the West, to little interest from the general public or international media. But on September 10, something changed. A few hundred protesters showed up at the Israeli embassy in Bangkok, with another 500 at the Chabad House in Phuket. These protests featured some explicitly anti-Semitic signs, like “Jews out,” and the protest in Phuket forced the cancellation of a small, private…

On September 19, National Citizen Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam sharply criticized Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. Rahman would eventually have to choose how to leave power, he said. “He must decide whether he will flee the country by helicopter or resign with dignity.” Nahid was not speaking at an NCP rally. He was addressing a long march organized by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI)-led 11-party opposition alliance to press a seven-point demand, including implementation of the February referendum verdict, action on rising prices, the energy and fertilizer crisis, deteriorating law and order, and corruption. JI chief Shafiqur Rahman spoke at the same…
