    OTO 76mm has been fitted on Udaygiri (furthest from camera), though it seems to be the regular SRGM and not the STRALES version like the other two: No idea. Best not to count chickens before they hatch when it comes to ship deliveries from DPSU yards. 😅

    Supposedly, only three countries in history had ever crossed the 150 MT crude steel production output - USSR, China & now India. Also, exports being such a small part of it show that domestic consumption has been extremely high, helped by the infrastructure build-out programs of the Govt.

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Looks like a power generation/distribution building. Also: The missiles that struck the hangars didn't just get through cuz they got lucky - there was likely very extensive SEAD/DEAD performed at each of the locations. We still don't have the full picture.

    Once ordered, this would bring the total number to 220 airframes (Mk1/1A) if you combine fighters & two-seat trainers.

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Where did I deny that a Rafale was most likely downed? I haven't geolocated the exact spot but not much difference between 42 kms and 50 kms considering a jet in flight is unlikely to drop down at the exact location it was hit. Momentum from direction of flight prior to hit would take it quite...
