He was indeed appointed. I'm not entirely convinced he had links with Islamists, Tata Group is a huge $314 billion conglomerate and I refuse to believe they would appoint CEO of such a prestigious project like the revived Air India without conducting a thorough background check. However there...

Not entirely - Kharkiv & Kiev for example will be facing just that. Kharkiv is already facing it as we speak: While the rest of the country may see maneuvers avoiding population centres (like Mariupol for example), Kiev will be the exception as the Ukrainian leadership will be entrenched and...

Agreed. Unless there is a direct intervention by Western forces using airpower, its a matter of time before Kiev falls. It's increasingly becoming a prestige issue for Putin and that means they'll start taking off the gloves wrt leveling cities. They'll throw everything they have and Kiev is...

On this topic, I'll quote from my post elsewhere on internet: "...Recently, there were back-to-back tests of a new version of the BrahMos cruise missile platform from both ship (VLS launch from recently-commissioned P-15B DDG) & land (triple-tube ground launcher). The official releases...

As I said, its unclear at the moment. The highest envelop that the M88 core can be pushed currently is 95-105kN for the M88-4E (ECO) variant. But that's only the theoretical maximum, far as I know the ECO demonstrator only pushed up to ~90kN AB. So unless there were some major breakthroughs in...

India and France are close to concluding a deal, likely in the next couple of months, for the joint development of a 125KN engine for the indigenous fifth generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) under development, according to defence officials. The collaboration is between the Defence...

NASM-SR and NASM-MR (bottom-right) via Godofparadoxes MR appears to be a fundamentally different missile system with a different propulsion setup. Seems to be a derivative of Nirbhay (if the pic is correct). Makes sense...SR is mostly intended for air-launched applications from naval...

What I'm taking away from statements made from official figures so far is that they're being very measured & calculated wrt India. Yes, the immediate crisis is Russia and this will last the next few news cycles, so focus is there right now. But there's no indication that the larger aim of Asia...

ISS is now in its last decade of operation, even as per original plan it was to be deorbited in next 9 years. Russia was made part of the program because at the time relations were better + US manned spaceflight was spotty, having to rely on Russian Soyuz launches. Today that's no longer the...

What's wrong with the Leopards?

This form factor seems popular for compact swarming drones. ALFA-S developed in India by NewSpace (pvt company), part of the Combat Air Teaming System (CATS) program: First flown sometime last year

What appears to be (to my untrained eye), a new submarine building dock (actually two docks side-by-side) well into construction a short distance north of the first one at SBC Vizag (which popped out S2, S3 & S4 and is now building S4*): At approx ~185 meters long, its big enough to...

Keeping in mind the fact that the S-5 class SSBN will probably have 12 missile tubes storing K-5 or K-6 intercontinental SLBMs (which will most definitely have Multiple Independently-targeted Re-entry Vehicles or MIRVs)....each S-5 boat, even if we assume a relatively modest MIRV capacity of 3...

Actually this is the first time I'm hearing about it - thanks for sharing! As of NaVIC in commercial applications, I know that Garmin released handheld navigation with it:
