@SwarajyaMag Indian bureaucracy needs to be accountable. If not then, there needs to be an overhaul of the system.
@PMOIndia this is the one thing you need to accomplish if you want "vikasith Bharat" by 2047.

The M72 Carbine from @sssdefence
The OG in futuristic Indian infantry weapons
The M72 was Born in Bharat. It wasn’t air lifted or given an Indian name to prove legitimacy. We design & make everything to the last take down pin & fastener. We are proud to be in service with @Uppolice @PunjabPoliceInd @police_haryana & @MeghalayaPolice

The M72 signifies our people’s turn to lead, not follow
And we prefer to show than claim accomplishments that were never ours to begin with

@ItsShubhangi But does UK has any money to do what Trump wants?

@alpha_defense @ShivAroor scale of development & production is unbelievable.
How can any force fight this kind of production depending on import? If EU could do 27/day then, what can China do if balloon goes up b/w Ind & China?

🇷🇺 Russia preparing 10,000 'Dant-T' loitering munitions for strikes on Ukraine.

Kiev media and military analysts report with concern that Russia is ramping up production of the new 'Dant-T' loitering munition. First appearing in 2026, it has a range of up to 500 km and a warhead mass of about 135 kg, significantly larger than most 'Geran' drones.

While comparable to the S8000 'Banderol', the Dant-T is reportedly ~35% cheaper. It is launched from helicopters, with airframe integration also being tested, allowing carriers to approach launch zones and increase strike depth.

The main focus is on mass: Russia plans to produce approximately 10,000 units in 2027 (average 830 per month or 27 per day). This creates an additional echelon of strike assets between 'Gerans' and full-fledged cruise missiles.

If you’re from India and have access to any of the cargo drones mentioned below and you’re a trained, experienced drone pilot who can help with relief operations in Nepal, please DM me. We urgently need your help.

Many villages in Nepal are currently cut off because of floods, damaged roads and destroyed bridges, while helicopter access is limited.

Cargo drones could help deliver essential supplies to areas we can’t reach easily, including:
• Medicines & first-aid supplies
• Dry food
• Power banks
• Radios/communication equipment
• Blankets and other emergency supplies

Some suitable Indian options include:
• BonV Aero / Air Hans — up to 20 kg payload, ~12 km range, up to 30 min flight time, high-altitude capable, with winch-delivery options
• Krushaka
• Marut Drones
• NeoSky / Throttle Aerospace

If you can help us source these drones, arrange temporary deployment/rental, or connect us with trained pilots, please reach out.

We will coordinate the necessary arrangements for deployment in Nepal.

Please share this widely. Someone in your network might have exactly what we need right now.

Nepal needs every possible hand. 🙏

@anuradhagoyal Wrong assessment.
Look at some other actors who also come from middle class Hindu families but keep their attire situational based on occasions. Some actors also flaunt their Hinduism.
Its all about having knowledge & common sense. Sadly, this lady lacks both.

@alpha_defense missed opportunity & how fast UAE moved is quite amazing to see. Meanwhile ours is slower than snail.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

The UAE has now localized drone defense production, with U.S. defense startup Powerus manufacturing its Guardian interceptors in the country.

The facility is producing about 30 interceptors per day, with plans to increase output to 100. The Guardian, which costs roughly $5,000 per unit, is designed to intercept one way attack drones such as Iran’s Shahed.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Hello @kritisanon,

1. Don't play the woman card. You were not criticized for your gender, but for your choice of clothes in an ad. You are bringing gender into this to make it a women's issue and seek wider support from women and male feminists. It's not a gender issue. Even Ranveer Singh was criticized on Twitter for a nude photoshoot. He didn't play the gender card.

2. Personal choice stops where public commercialization begins. What you wear off-camera is entirely your prerogative. You've been in this business for years. Until now, nobody bothered you about your choice of clothes. You know why? Because nobody actually cares what you wear. The outrage here comes from a commercial choice: sexualizing a deeply sacred festival celebrated by millions. Context dictates appropriateness. If a male actor appeared bare-chested while portraying the brother in that exact scene, the public pushback would be identical. The issue is sacredness and context, not gender.

3. Claiming "clothes don't define culture" directly contradicts human history. Attire is a foundational visual language of every global tradition, you cannot wear a Kimono and call it Indian ethnic wear, nor can you strip a festival of its sacred aesthetic without altering its significance. If attire truly has zero bearing on cultural respect, then tomorrow is Eid. Can you wear that exact same outfit you wore in that ad and wish Eid Mubarak? You said clothes don't define the respect you have for culture in your heart. So do it and we'll take our criticism back.

Respecting a tradition means honoring its context, not commodifying it under the guise of fashion.

@RatanSharda55 @DrJitendraSingh No they are not.
Their ability is in research & innovation. They shouldn't be in the business of launching anything.
Private companies can do this taxi service cheaper & better.

[Smita Prakash @smitaprakash]

Calling people 'uncle' or 'aunty' just because they are older than you isn’t banter, wit or a mature argument. It is pejorative ageism. If you want to be taken seriously, challenge the argument with facts rather than rudeness. Neither respect nor arrogance is an age thing. Nor is intelligence.
