    Ep.157 Former Grey Zone Operative Explains Modern Espionage, Influence & Cognitive Warfare | Oriane Cohen

    What really happens in the Grey Zone, the invisible space between peace and war where influence, espionage, perception, and plausible deniability shape global events? In this gripping episode of the Space, Defence, & Security Podcast powered by Access Hub, our host Omkar Nikam sits down with Oriane Cohen, a former Grey Zone Operative who transitioned from conflict journalism into covert intelligence operations before founding her strategic advisory practice. Drawing on first-hand operational experience, Oriane explains how modern intelligence works beyond Hollywood myths, why perception has become the new battlefield, and how governments, private operators, and influence networks shape events without ever appearing in the headlines. Whether you're interested in national security, intelligence, geopolitics, defence, military strategy, cyber influence, or cognitive warfare, this conversation provides a rare look into one of the least understood aspects of modern conflict.

    Ep.154 THE UNKNOWN MEN: Spies and Operations of R&AW | Dr Dheeraj Paramesha-Chaya

    India’s wars are not always fought on the battlefield. Behind the headlines, beyond diplomacy, exists a silent world of intelligence, covert operations, and strategic action. In this episode of the Space, Defence & Security Podcast, we explore the reality of Spies, India, and R&AW, the agency at the center of India’s external intelligence operations. Who are the “unknown men” often spoken about in connection with covert missions? How do intelligence operations actually work? And how has India’s approach to national security evolved in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment? This conversation moves beyond cinema and speculation to examine the strategic, operational, and psychological dimensions of intelligence work. 🎙 Featuring Dr Dheeraj Paramesha-Chaya, Lecturer in intelligence and international security at the School of Criminology, Politics, and Law, University of Hull in UK, this episode provides a serious and informed perspective on one of the most discussed, yet least understood, aspects of national security.

    Ep.153 The Day Iran Goes Nuclear: The Moment That Could Reshape the Middle East - Zara Mansoor

    For decades, the world has tried to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons through sanctions, diplomacy, covert operations, and military pressure. But many analysts now believe Iran could reach nuclear weapons capability in the near future. If that happens, it will not just change Iran. It will change the Middle East. And it could reshape the global balance of power. In this episode, we speak with Zara Mansoor to explore the geopolitical, military, and strategic consequences of a nuclear Iran. We discuss Israel’s security doctrine, the possibility of a Middle East nuclear arms race, the role of the United States, China, and Russia, and what this means for the future of the global non-proliferation system. This is not a conversation about whether Iran will go nuclear. This is a conversation about what happens if it does. Link to Zara's newsletter.

    Ep.152 From Terror Funding to Statecraft: Weaponized Finance in the Age of AI - Part-II | Adam Rousselle

    Illicit finance is no longer a side issue, it is a core enabler of modern conflict, coercion, and gray-zone warfare. In this episode, we speak with Adam Rousselle, Intelligence and Security Expert, on how illicit financial networks power terror financing, sanctions evasion, organized crime, and state-driven hybrid operations worldwide. Moving beyond regional case studies, the discussion frames illicit finance as a global security architecture problem, shaped by fragmented regulation, data silos, and slow institutional response. Adam outlines a three-tier framework to explain how these networks are built, how money flows through them, and why they remain resilient. We also examine where AI is genuinely changing the game in counter-illicit finance, network analysis, anomaly detection, pattern recognition, and where its limits remain without strong data, governance, and human judgment. This isn’t about compliance. It’s about financial systems as battlefields, and why counter-illicit finance is now inseparable from national security and geopolitics.

    Ep.150 Joint Warfare Reality: How Weapons Are Selected for Air-Land-Sea Integration - Part-II | Sqn Ldr Shailesh Pol

    Joint warfare is not about individual platforms. It’s about who owns the mission, who controls the air, and who controls the kill chain. As India moves toward integrated theatre commands, the logic of warfare is undergoing a fundamental shift. Weapons that perform exceptionally within a single service often struggle when exposed to the realities of Air-Land-Sea joint operations. The difference between success and failure is no longer defined by firepower alone, but by sensors, data links, interoperability, and decision-making timelines. In this two-part episode, Sqn Ldr Shailesh Pol, a specialist in Air Defence, Counter-UAS, and aerial weapons, breaks down the realities of modern joint warfare from an operational perspective. This is not a doctrinal discussion. It is a candid examination of how weapons are actually evaluated, selected, integrated, and employed when multiple services fight as one. The conversation explores: How weapon selection fundamentally changes when the Air Force supports an Army-led campaign or a Naval task force Whose requirement truly drives decisions in joint operations, the platform owner or the mission owner Why some weapons that look ideal on paper become liabilities once joint integration begins The critical role of sensors, networks, and control of targeting in determining weapon effectiveness What is harder to align in real operations: doctrine, communications, or decision-making speed Who truly controls the air in an army-led battlefield How joint forces counter non-conventional and non-standard threats Which interoperable systems enable success across Army, Navy, and Air Force operations What policymakers and industry continue to underestimate about joint weapon integration This is essential viewing for military professionals, defence industry leaders, policymakers, analysts, and anyone seeking to understand how future conflicts will be fought, not in theory, but in reality.

    Ep.148 The Transformation of Modern Warfare in the Context of the Russia-Ukraine War - Part-II | Olena Kryzhanivska

    The Russia-Ukraine war has stripped away long-held assumptions about military power, exposing what works, what fails, and what adapts under pressure. In these episodes, Olena Kryzhanivska examines the shifts that defined 2025: the growing dominance of low-cost, scalable weapons, the declining advantage of legacy platforms, and the speed at which warfare now evolves through constant battlefield feedback. We discuss Ukraine’s move to open arms exports, its implications for the global defense market, and how deterrence and escalation are being reshaped one step at a time. This is not theory, it’s the blueprint of how future wars will be fought. For more insights, follow Olena’s essential reporting at Ukraine’s Arms Monitor on this link.

    Ep.146 The Real Spies Behind the Screen: Inside DHURANDHAR | Colonel (Veteran) Bhupinder Shahi

    Some conversations don’t stay confined to the moment they’re spoken. They linger. They unsettle. They reopen memories. This episode was one of those. As DHURANDHAR, one of the latest Indian films exploring the world of espionage, moves audiences with its depiction of intelligence operations. One particular sequence, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, hit closer to home than expected. For me, it triggered an emotional wave that went far beyond cinema. That moment shaped the tone of this conversation and turned it into something deeply personal. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Colonel (Rtd.) Bhupinder Shahi, a retired Indian Army officer and the military consultant behind DHURANDHAR. Together, we peel back the layers between what intelligence work looks like on screen, and what it truly demands in reality. This is not a glamorous spy story. It’s a grounded, human conversation about discipline, secrecy, emotional burden, and responsibility. Colonel Shahi speaks candidly about: How far cinematic espionage drifts from real intelligence operations The mindset and psychological rigor required to operate in India’s security ecosystem Why secrecy is not a choice, but a culture The weight he carried while ensuring DHURANDHAR portrayed intelligence work responsibly Scenes that come closest to the real emotional pressure faced by intelligence professionals And the single most misunderstood truth young viewers should know before romanticising the world of spies At its core, this episode explores a difficult balance: How do you tell national security stories honestly, without exposing what must remain unsaid? Listen closely. Some stories aren’t meant to entertain. They’re meant to be felt.

    Ep.145 The Shadow Network of Spies: Intelligence Cooperation Against Hamas - Part-II | Dr. Ecaterina Matoi

    Spies don’t work alone. And neither does intelligence. In this two-part episode, The Shadow Network of Spies, Dr. Ecaterina Matoi takes us inside the hidden world of intelligence cooperation against Hamas, where satellites, intercepted messages, and human sources converge across borders. From why even the most powerful intelligence agencies can’t track Hamas alone, to how Israel, the U.S., and regional partners share secrets under extreme time pressure, this episode unpacks what intelligence cooperation really looks like beyond the movies. We explore missed warnings, hard moral decisions in urban warfare, and how evolving militant networks tied to Iran and Hezbollah are reshaping the intelligence game. This is a rare, clear-eyed look at how modern spy networks work, what they get right, where they fail, and what comes next as the shadow war continues.

    In this two-part special, we explore why Fiji, among all Pacific Island nations, stands uniquely positioned to pursue a national space program, and whether this is a bold geopolitical move or an existential response to rising climate threats - with Marçal Sanmartí. From great-power competition involving India, Japan, U.S., and China to the dual-use dilemmas of satellites that serve both disaster relief and defense, this episode examines the strategic tightrope Fiji must walk. We also tackle the big questions: Does Fiji have the legal, technical, and human capital to govern a space agency? Can its “friends to all, enemies to none” doctrine withstand escalating Indo-Pacific rivalries? Is there a sustainable economic model behind its space ambitions, or a looming fiscal burden? And what ethical framework is needed before the nation takes the final leap into orbit? A must-listen for anyone tracking space policy, Pacific geopolitics, and the future of small-nation sovereignty in the space age.

    Ep.141 Inside the U.S.-Venezuela Standoff: A Former CIA Officer Breaks It Down | Michael (Mick) Patrick Mulroy

    A simmering flashpoint in the Americas is entering a dangerous new phase, and we’re breaking it down with someone who knows the playbook from the inside. Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer Michael (Mick) Patrick Mulroy joins us to unpack the intelligence priorities, covert authorities, and geopolitical fault lines shaping the escalating U.S.-Venezuela confrontation. From reported CIA-authorized lethal operations to U.S. warships edging closer to Venezuelan waters, this episode explores whether Washington’s actions are truly about counter-narcotics or the opening moves of a deeper regime-pressure strategy. We dive into the credibility of narco-network claims, the risks of accidental escalation, the legal guardrails around covert action, and how regional players like Colombia, Cuba, Russia, and China could tilt the balance. Fast-moving, high-stakes, and rarely discussed in public, this is the inside briefing you won’t get anywhere else.
