Parliament tells DRDO: Defence projects must move from promises to delivery. 🇮🇳
A Parliamentary panel has asked DRDO to establish clear and measurable KPIs to ensure defence projects are completed on time.
The committee has also recommended progressively increasing India's defence R&D budget over the next five years.
What stands out: 👇
• The proposed five-year R&D roadmap involves ₹33,000 crore
• The panel wants this investment to translate into greater indigenisation and reduced dependence on foreign imports
• DRDO has been asked to improve project execution and ensure clearer timelines
• The committee stressed that sustained R&D investment is essential for technological self-reliance
India is putting more money into defence R&D.
Now the expectation is simple: more indigenous technology reaching the armed forces, on time. 🇮🇳

GTRE द्वारा 'Kaveri 2.0' इंजन के विकास के साथ, भारत का अपना फाइटर जेट इंजन बनाने का सपना अब एक नए दौर में प्रवेश कर रहा है।
एडवांस्ड टर्बाइन और डिजिटल कंट्रोल तकनीक से लैस यह प्रोजेक्ट रक्षा क्षेत्र में विदेशी इंजनों पर हमारी निर्भरता को खत्म करेगा और भारत को रक्षा क्षेत्र में पूरी तरह 'आत्मनिर्भर' बनाएगा!
आत्मनिर्भर रक्षा, सशक्त भारत। 🚀
@mitrapredator Don't mind, bhai, but we have no leverage over them, that's reality.
All the chest thumping means little when we're dependent on them for tech, anyone saying we can challenge the US is just cope atp.
That's the reason I rant about Atmanirbhar Bharat all day.

BREAKING: Just days after Saudi Arabia signed a new defense pact with Pakistan and Turkey, two major Saudi Aramco energy sites have been reportedly hit — a fire at the Berri Gas Plant near Jubail on the Gulf coast and a separate blaze at an Aramco facility at the Jazan refinery on the Red Sea coast, per satellite data and Saudi officials.
NASA FIRMS detected an estimated 125 MW fire radiative power at Berri, while Saudi authorities said Aramco crews extinguished the Jazan fire with no injuries reported. The cause and extent of damage remain unclear, with no confirmed attribution for either incident.
The stakes are enormous. Jubail supplies approximately 8% of global petrochemical production and contributes more than 7% of Saudi Arabia's GDP, hosting major operations involving Saudi Aramco, SABIC, ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, and Chevron Phillips.
The timing is critical. The attacks come just days after Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey signed a NATO-style defense pact in Jeddah. The agreement, which features a collective defense clause, was dismissed by Iran as a "paper agreement" that would not bring security to Riyadh. The strikes may be a test of that new alliance — and a warning from Tehran that no paper pact will protect Saudi energy infrastructure. Saudi authorities have not confirmed the cause of either fire. The region remains on high alert.
על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור!
עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר.
אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות.
מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.
