The title Defence Minister, Minister for Defence, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State for Defence, Secretary of National Defense or some similar variation, is assigned to the person in a cabinet position in charge of a Ministry of Defence, which regulates the armed forces in sovereign states. The role of a defence minister varies considerably from country to country; in some the minister is only in charge of general budget matters and procurement of equipment; while in others the minister is also, in addition, an integral part of the operational military chain of command.
Prior to the 20th century, there were in most countries separate ministerial posts for the land forces (often called "minister for war" etc.) and the naval forces. Since the end of World War II, the title has changed from war to defence, and has often involved putting a single defence minister in charge of all the armed forces. Another common reform which occurred at the end of World War II was to place the defence minister in a national security council, war cabinet, or a "Kitchen Cabinet", which allows the head of government or head of state to coordinate military, diplomatic and economic activities.

Russian Minister of defense Sergey Shoygu is due to meet with President Vladimir Putin to speak on the causes of the Kogalymavia (Metrojet) flight 7K9268 in the Sinai, during a Ministry of Defence meeting in Moscow on Tuesday, November 17. Earlier in the day Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) director Alexander Bortnikov told the president that the crash was caused by a terrorist attack, since traces of explosives were found in the plane wreckage. The plane crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula around 23 minutes after take-off on October 31, killing everyone on board. The passenger plane was heading to St. Petersburg from Sharm el-Sheikh when it broke up in the air.

IDN TAKE: LCA TEJAS SET TO CONDUCT CRUCIAL BOMB TESTS. The latest on the front of indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft, TEJAS is very heartening. LCA TEJAS, which after its astonishing and eye opening aerobatic performance at the Bahrain International Airshow 2016 in February is now touted for several critical inert bomb tests. IDN has learnt from highly placed sources that two TEJAS jets have been dispatched to Jamnagar for the preparation of Tandem bombing release tests. During the same exercise, TEJAS will also carry out the all important Griffin Laser Guided Bomb drop tests. What will seem ordinary and routine to the pilot will actually be a “monumental achievement” for the much delayed Light Combat Aircraft program. A modern, jet-powered combat aircraft is nothing if it can...
