India's top navy guy, Admiral Dinesh Tripathi, still thinks Bangladesh counts as a friend despite all the chaos after Sheikh Hasina got booted out last August. The former prime minister bounced to India and caught a death sentence from a tribunal back home, and Bangladesh wants her sent back.
Tripathi told people to chill since elections haven't happened yet, and he thinks the whole mess might just be temporary. He talked about training Bangladeshi cadets and how his first chief visit was supposed to go there instead of some fancier capital. The admiral stayed optimistic that things will flip around eventually.
He also addressed Pakistan testing some new hypersonic missile by saying Indian scientists are grinding on the same tech with defense labs. When asked about Chinese spy ships possibly delaying Indian tests, he basically called it fake news and said he hadn't seen any real delays.
