Historic Moment for Indian Fencing! 🇮🇳🤺
In a landmark achievement for Indian sport, #IndianNavy's Taniksha Khatri, CPO and Prachi Lohan, PO, have become the first-ever Indian women Épée fencers to reach the prestigious Main Table of 64 at the Senior World Fencing Championships in Hong Kong.
Reaching the Table of 64 (Direct Elimination Round) against the world's elite marks an unprecedented milestone for the Nation and the Navy.

The @DRDO_India has successfully conducted the maiden flight test of Long-Range Surface-to-Air Missile Kusha today from the APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha.
Kusha missile system is capable of neutralising wide variety of aerial threats including fighter jets, missiles, UAVs and large enemy aircrafts within a wide range and altitude envelope.
Today’s successful test flight of Kusha marks an important milestone in Indian defence R&D. The capability in developing long range surface-to-air missile system is possessed only by a handful of nations. This will also eliminate the import dependency for such systems and signifies a giant leap in air defence capability of the nation. I congratulate DRDO and other stakeholders for this achievement.
Pilots. Aircraft. Take-off.
