Important for non-political people and students.
Please stay away from tomorrow's protest.
Maoist and Marxist groups are sharing an internal toolkit for the protest.
They are asking their people to hide their faces with goggles, large handkerchiefs, and Dupattas.
They are also sharing the numbers of their Marxist lawyers whom they will contact after the job is done.
There are extremely high chances that these Maoists will turn this protest violent.
They will not hesitate to take the lives of common people to fulfill their goals.
So I request and advise all non-political children to stay away from the protest, as these people will use them as their shield.
I also request that my followers share this message on their WhatsApp status and across all their social media.
As time is very limited and we don't have paid influencers.
We have common Indians who care for the country and children.
Please retweet, copy, and share on your SM.

✅ The first Centre Fuselage (CF) assembly for the #TejasMk1A was handed over to #HAL by Hyderabad-based #VEMTechnologies yesterday.
✅ VEM is targeting production of 6–8 CF units this financial year.
✅ From next FY, the production rate will scale up to one CF per month.
✅ For the #AMCA prog, VEM is already the lead private partner backing #ADA's development efforts.

My article in today’s Indian Express with @adityasinha004 on why India needs to build its own marine engines. If we don’t do this, our shipbuilding push will also end up with a “Kaveri engine” problem.
Aggressive Funding or Bust: The Kaveri Project is India’s Ticket to Future Jet Engine Independence
https://t.co/NW6t3Pz5wz
Building on the core of the original Kaveri engine, the GTRE Kaveri Derivative Engine (KDE) for the Ghatak UCAV incorporates advanced materials, aerodynamics, and cooling technologies to enhance performance. It is expected to produce 48 kN of dry thrust—slightly lower than the dry thrust of the GTX-35VS—due to modifications tailored for UCAV applications.
GTRE has also developed a new fan design optimized for high inlet pressure distortion tolerance, targeting stealthy airframes with serpentine intakes. This fan aims for a 3.4:1 pressure ratio and a 78 kg/s mass flow in a three-stage configuration, ideal for stealth platforms.
At Aero India 2019, GTRE showcased a model of a Kaveri engine compatible with serpentine air intakes.
@DRDO_India plans to develop multiple KDE variants to meet evolving UCAV requirements. If necessary, an afterburner can be integrated to increase thrust to 73–75 kN for more demanding applications.
Despite delays, cost overruns, and performance shortfalls, the KDE provides a clear pathway for the continued development of the Kaveri core. The immediate focus is on UCAV requirements, but the long-term vision is to achieve generational leaps in engine technology.
With aggressive funding and strategic technology partnerships, there’s no reason why a future Kaveri variant couldn’t power India’s next-generation stealth fighter.
My analysis for @THEEURASIATIMES puts KDE development into the right perspective—sure to lift your spirits!
The contracted production rate for the 83 LCA Tejas Mk1A deal is 16 aircraft per year which means we should be seeing one new Tejas roll out roughly every 23 days. Everyone’s reluctantly digesting the fact that GE has delivered just one engine so far. So the real question now is: who’s supplied what package till date? Let’s have that accountability check. 🙂
@writetake@alpha_defense@Defencematrix1@gareebscientist@krishnan@cvkrishnan Air India had multiple 747s just sitting on the tarmac at Mumbai for years! One of them could've been turned into an FTB. Even when Air India was sold & jets were transferred to DRDO, one of these could've been given too! We just lack will Ananth
The last slot DRDO secured & cancelled by owners was in November 2024, and the next anticipated slot is in September 2025 and even that isn’t confirmed, as the facility owners can push it further.
So essentially, there’s already a 9-month gap, and the next slot is 4 months away from today.
Now you see why we’re saying #FundKaveriEngine.
So nearly an entire year spent sitting on the ground waiting for a test slot at a foreign facility. "Money is no problem. We will spend when needed onlee" is so much bullshit from the government.
A lie, let's be real, if funding wasn't an issue why are DRDO labs still not having those test facilities that they have been asking for years & some of them for decades.
