Ankit Panda
Ankit Panda is an Indian-American expert on nuclear weapons and international security. He is the inaugural Stanton senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington-based think tank. Panda is the author of two books on nuclear matters, Kim Jong Un and the Bomb: Survival and Deterrence in North Korea and The New Nuclear Age: At the Precipice of Armageddon.
A former journalist, Panda is notable for his reporting on the strategic capabilities of North Korea, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and the United States. He was notably the first to report the location of North Korea’s long-suspected covert enrichment site at Kangson in 2018, with Jeffrey Lewis. He also first publicized the DF-17 hypersonic glide vehicle test in China. Panda was sanctioned by the Russian Federation in May 2023.
In October 2022, Panda told The New Yorker that he believed Vladimir Putin would likely not resort to the use of a nuclear weapon against Ukraine. Panda has advocated that the United States move toward an arms control approach with North Korea. Panda has identified Guam as a major target for missile attacks in a Pacific war and has argued that the Indo-Pacific region is seeing a major missile-oriented arms build-up.
Panda is the host of two podcasts. He is the founding host of The Diplomat’s Asia Geopolitics podcast, which he started in 2014. In addition, he is the founding host of Thinking the Unthinkable With Ankit Panda, which he has hosted for War on the Rocks since 2023. He lives in Washington, D.C..
