Nearly every Mercedes Benz car sold in India comes with an engine produced by Force Motors at its Chakan factory near Pune.
Force Motors just handed over the 200,000th engine to Mercedes Benz. It was a M256 straight six turbo petrol engine that's used in cars like the Mercedes Benz S-Class. The 200,000th motor went to a GLS 450.
Force Motors also produces engines for BMW at a different factory in Chennai. Force has built over 1 lakh engines for BMW, too. It even makes large, 10 cylinder and 12 cylinder industrial engines for Rolls Royce.
Did you know that the OM616 diesel engine that the Tempo (Force) Traveller used is a Mercedes Benz engine?
Force Motors later came up with re-engineered versions of this engine for the Gurkha, Travellers and Traxes, called FM2.6 and OM611.

Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.
Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.
You are not an adult.
You are a baby.
Eat the baby food.
A list of foolish 🇺🇸-🇮🇱 strategic decisions:
Decisions that initially sound great, but are actually a gift to your enemy.
1: Successfully killing Iran's Nr. 1, The Supreme Leader
➡️ Uniting Iran's fractions for legitimized succession by his son
2: Shock-, surprise attack to paralyze Iran's ability to react by closing the Strait of Hormuz
➡️ 12-Day War surprise attack had already made Iran create emergency plans which automatically activate under specific conditions.
Granting Iran with the ultimate pressure tool
3: Killing Iran's Nr. 2, held by Ghalibaf and Larijani simultaneously
➡️ Uniting power to a single, more hardline Nr. 2
4: Suppressing Iran's Ballistic Missile fire rate by hitting their tunnel entrances with expensive, rare missiles like JASSM
➡️ Iran still maintained its fire-rate throughout the war.
Worse: U.S. stand-off missile stockpiles dropped significantly for a failed temporary, fire-rate suppression goal.
Iran's arsenal on the other hand remains both available and with very high remaining stockpiles.
Directly displaying both your inability to degrade the opponents "punishing power", as well as the inability to sustain further wars of that scale.
(Iran being fully aware of the leverage it got due to stockpile depletion)
5: Using high-end, rare ballistic-missile defense interceptors like SM-3 & THAAD to create a temporary umbrella around Israel to operate airpower from.
➡️ That luxury capability needs many, many years to manufacture and had run so low that lead to a ceasefire after just 38-Days.
Long manufacturing time and expert workforce required, means that this defense umbrella won't be available at a remotely similar scale in any further war
(Iran being fully aware of the leverage it got due to stockpile depletion)
6: Utilizing long-range capability of tactical airpower to operate from Israel and Jordan, offering safety distance
➡️ Evacuating the bases in allied Persian Gulf Arab countries, which they believed would provide them security.
Instead the bases became legitimate reasons for Iran to hit those countries
7: Punishing as hard as conventionally possible to knock-out the opponent via a surprise shock-and-awe attack
➡️ Iran, having prepared for this since decades, took the hit and forced that time-limited concept into its own attrition war strategy.
Neutralizing it and directly displaying its ability to fight several more rounds of such wars, even at higher intensity.
Something that's impossible for 🇺🇸-🇮🇱 due to their expensive style of warfare
Impression: 🇺🇲-🇮🇱 fighters flew regularly strikes on Tehran, heared by all residents. Dropping low-cost JDAMs
Reality: 🇺🇲-🇮🇱 fighters flew highly sophisticated raids under thigh tactical constraints, utilizing advanced munitions like Spice-1000 (photo)
- Lots of terrain-masking
- Lots of stand-off jamming
- Lots of situational awareness about electronic battlespace
- Always staying as far away as possible...
And those sounds of low flying fighters?
➡️ Mostly Iranian fighters trying to intercept those advanced munitions before they impact
A rare case where both sides are given less credit for what they actually did
(and one side exploiting it for their air dominance narrative...)
