It'll be a massive geopolitical irony if Russia provides MANPADS to the Taliban to use against Pakistan - the very country that once funneled the same tech to the Mujahideen to bleed the Soviet Union. Karma is a bitch, man!

As a graduate of the @indiannavy @IN_NDSchool, I’m delighted that #Kenya’s CDF General Charles Kahariri trained there too. #Education builds bridges — I’m sure he’d be thrilled by the school’s remarkable progress since our days!

🚨 #Fakenews #Pakistani handles. This fabricated story is baseless propaganda. Zero connection to me. This is classic ISI-style #cognitive #warfare — manufactured sleaze, filth on social media to try to divide us.They can’t face us at sea, so they try on social media. #LOL!

The SSN, USS Connecticut incident & repairs are known. More interesting is that there are about 100,000 sea mounts rising to 1000m above the sea floor, mostly uncharted.

"China has created an ecosystem of more than 40 specialist rare earth laboratories that produce cutting-edge research, supplemented by at least 11 universities and technical colleges that collectively enroll more than 500 students annually in rare earths degree programs. That accumulated expertise sustains Beijing’s grip on global supplies of refined rare earths."

Her name was Sarla Thakral.

She was born on August 8 1914 in Delhi. At sixteen, she married P.D. Sharma, a pilot from a family that included nine pilots. Her father in law enrolled her at the Lahore Flying Club.

In 1936, at twenty one years old and already the mother of a four year old daughter, she climbed into the cockpit of a Gypsy Moth biplane and flew it solo.

She was wearing a saree.

She became the first woman in India to earn an aviation pilot licence. She went on to complete one thousand hours of flying and began working toward her commercial pilot licence.

In 1939, her husband died in a plane crash. She was twenty four years old with two daughters.

That same year, the Second World War began and civil aviation across India was suspended.

She never flew again.

After Partition in 1947, she moved to Delhi with her daughters and started over. She enrolled at the Mayo School of Art and built a new career as a painter, textile designer and costume jewellery designer.

Her saree designs became widely sought after. One of her clients was Vijayalakshmi Pandit, India’s first woman ambassador and Jawaharlal Nehru’s sister.

Sarla Thakral died on March 15 2008. She was 93 years old.

In 1936, when most Indian women rarely travelled alone, she was flying aircraft by herself over Lahore.

Most Indians have never heard her name.

The Indian Navy is well set on a course of capability enhancement and modernisation.

Australia just did something no other country has ever done.

Doctors in Sydney are now killing cancer tumours by freezing them solid — no scalpel, no stitches, no surgery at all.

It's happening at Liverpool Hospital in southwest Sydney, home to Australia's first MRI-guided cryoablation machine.

Here's how it works.

A needle thinner than a few millimetres is threaded into the tumour while doctors watch every move in real time on the MRI.

Then gas shoots through it, dropping the temperature to around minus 180°C in seconds.

The tumour freezes into a tiny "ice ball." The cancer cells rupture. The blood supply chokes off. The tumour dies.

No cutting. No bleeding. No weeks of recovery.

One of the first patients was Josephine Cordina, 64, who'd been living with a 9mm tumour buried in her spine. The pain stole her sleep. Painkillers barely touched it. Open surgery would've meant screws in her spine and weeks flat on her back.

Instead, doctors froze it.

One day later, she walked out of the hospital pain-free.

That's the part that sounds impossible — most patients go home within 24 hours and skip the long hospital stay entirely.

It works on tumours in the spine, the liver, the kidneys. And it gives hope to people who were told they were too old, too sick, or too high-risk for traditional surgery.

The future of cancer treatment might not involve a single cut.
