Kremlin:
Ukraine will have to pay the price for its actions in recent months — that is what is happening now.
The Russian army continues its “special military operation” and is consistently striking its targets.
USS Theodore Roosevelt just left San Diego — bound for the Arabian Sea.
Another carrier heading into the Iran fight. Deployment expected to last well over 7 months.
🚨: Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps says it has taken Nove on the Donetsk-Luhansk border in the third phase of Operation Vivaldi, along with Ridkodub and Katerynivka.
Commander Biletskyi reported converted BTR-60s used as unmanned vehicles, 51 km² gained this stage, and more than 250 Russian troops captured.
⚡️ — Iran warns that it could close the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait if the U.S. launches new strikes, according to Salar Velayatmadar, a member of the Iranian parliament’s security committee.
Velayatmadar stated that closing both chokepoints would disrupt global energy flows and warned that European support for U.S. policy could drive energy prices higher.
Iran has taken its fight over U.S. aviation sanctions to ICAO.
CAO chief Abouzar Shiroudi told the ICAO Council that Washington’s Sept. 8 measures — designating the last 27 Iranian airlines and suspending overflight, fuel, and U.S.-origin aircraft licenses — violate the Chicago Convention and should be lifted so flights can resume.
The U.S. says the sector moves weapons, personnel, and illicit cargo. Regional airports have already started turning Iranian carriers away.
Civil aviation as a pressure tool vs. aviation as a sanctions target. ICAO now has the letter.

⚡🚨Ukraine and Russia have both targeted border crossings.
reports circulating today show Ukrainian drones striking near Russia–Belarus crossings after Russian attacks on Ukrainian checkpoints
long-range strikes continue to expand beyond the front line.

Sialkot Airport confirmed QR-630 landed normally at SKT. The Jammu track was a FlightRadar24/GPS spoofing glitch near the LoC.
🚀🇮🇳 BIG BOOST FOR INDIA’S REUSABLE ROCKET PROGRAMME!
The Government of India is backing #AgnikulCosmos with ₹200 CRORE to develop the Agnibaan Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) — a major step towards building indigenous, repeatable access to space.
🔹 ₹200 crore support from the Technology Development Board (#TDB) under the Research Development & Innovation (RDI) Fund.
🔹 Support provided through Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCD)
🔹 Technology target: advance from TRL-4+ → TRL-8
🔹 Focus on full-system reusability, rather than recovering only the first stage
🔹 Designed for high-frequency & repeatable launches
🔹 Potential to reduce launch/manufacturing costs and space debris.
🚀 What makes Agnibaan RLV significant?
The proposed architecture includes:
• Reusable upper stage
• Lightweight upper-stage architecture
• Semi-cryogenic liquid propulsion
• Deep-throttling & restart capability
• Precise orbital insertion
• Controlled descent
• Recovery systems
These technologies are particularly important for descent, landing and repeated use of a launch vehicle.
Agnikul has already developed #Agnibaan, its indigenous orbital-class launch vehicle, and #Agnilet, a single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine developed and manufactured in-house.
The new programme aims to take these capabilities further — from developing an orbital launch vehicle to building a reusable launch architecture designed around repeatability and operational efficiency.
🇮🇳 India’s private space sector is moving from launch capability toward reusable space transportation technology.
