Threat Assessment Brief: Global Defense Corp (GDC)

Reading Time: 3 minutes Designation: Disinformation PlatformClassification: Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) / Strategic Communications ThreatCompiled by: BDMilitary Strategic Communications Unit Background Global Defense Corp (GDC), operating via https://www.globaldefensecorp.com, has emerged as a high-frequency source of anti-Bangladesh disinformation, often wrapped in the appearance of defence analysis or arms industry reporting. The platform is not a legitimate defence outlet. Its editorials consistently reflect pro-India, anti-Bangladesh, and Sinophobic biases, promoting narratives that: Discredit Bangladesh’s military capabilities. Undermine Bangladesh–China strategic cooperation. Amplify Indian intelligence narratives, especially regarding the Bangladesh Armed Forces. The suspected operator, “Raihan Al Beruni”, is believed to be a pseudonymous identity of a diaspora-based individual living in Australia, with a long history of running anonymous disinformation blogs under different names targeting the Bangladeshi military and civil institutions.
