    USA Trump says US will restart nuclear weapons tests

    I'm firmly of the opinion that nuclear testing is going to resume, globally, sooner than later. Not just US, but everyone. Russia didn't withdraw from CTBT for no reason either. Some parts of the US Govt seem to believe China was testing as recently as 2020. India will see any such resumption...

    Some recent SOF pics from my collection: Para SF operator somewhere in the Kashmir Valley, with a IWI Tavor TAR-21 rifle w/ Mepro MOR reflex optic/laser combo & pressure pad-operated flashlight. Note the TASL RAJAK I-222B binocular night vision goggles (PVS-31A license-manufactured by Tata...

    India Navy Nuclear Submarines (SSBN & SSN)

    Great news! What's even more amazing is this bit in the report: "The ATVP has already begun construction of the first two units of the S5 SSBNs" That means the S5 class will indeed be built in the existing dry dock at SBC Vizag (the same one that built the Arihant-class boats), whereas the...

    India Quad Archive

    18% Good if it holds...that would be a lower tariff than any major ASEAN state (19%), Bangladesh (20%), Vietnam (20%) or Pakistan (19%). Major competitive advantage for exporters of labour-intensive sectors like textiles, leather goods etc. Businesses in Pakistan in particular cannot be happy...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    2.4m diameter - this thing is huge! Thicker than Trident-II D5, Bulava and even M51. Most definitely ICBM-ranged with ~3 ton MIRVed payload as shown in that old chart.

    There's apparently a cool stream with lots of close-up shots of the launch tower, unfortunately it's only available for the live visitors' gallery. Wish they streamed it on Youtube:

    Live Conflict Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Multiple photos/videos exist of downed YIHA/Asusguard models (including a pretty famous one of locals in Pakistan beating up the wreckage of a YIHA, thinking it's an Indian drone) so saying that not a single one was shot down is objectively not true. The presentation lists how many locations...
