@AnchitGupta9 as a side note: India almost didn't have the Gnat 'cause the designer W.E.W Peters (very private & somewhat difficult person) thought that India was a communist- leaning country Thankfully, this was cleared up convincingly by the delegation & as they say the rest is history

The Gnat became part of Indian Air Force folklore as the “Sabre Slayer”. In 1965 and 1971, it gave Indian pilots a machine with which they could take on the Sabre and win. But every aircraft has two histories. One is the history of combat, citations and squadron lore. The other is written more quietly, in accident reports, mess conversations, and the memories of families who received a knock on the door. The Gnat/Ajeet was a difficult, mercurial aircraft. Serviceability was poor, and the accident record was unforgiving. Bharat Rakshak lists as many as 94 accidents over roughly three decades of IAF service, from about 260 aircraft inducted. Today, though, I remember one name. Pilot Officer Sanjay Shivraj died in an Ajeet crash on 11 May 1989. It was the last recorded crash of the type in IAF service. He was on a formation flying sortie when his aircraft went into the ground. He had been commissioned barely a year earlier, with the 140th Pilots’ Course. Like many young fighter pilots before him, he was flying an aircraft that rewarded skill but punished inexperience with little margin for error. I remember his name because I heard it often while growing up. My father was then the Flight Commander of No. 2 Squadron, of which Shivraj was a young member. He was on leave in Delhi when the accident happened. Shivraj’s parents were also in Delhi, and the responsibility of telling them that their son was gone fell on my parents. My mother still remembers that day with pain. There are some duties for which no uniform, rank or training can prepare you. May you rest in peace, Sanjay Shivraj. #IAFHistory @IAF_MCC

@TodayinHistory saving some grace for this adminstration

This may be the most articulate response I’ve ever heard to this question.

@manaman_chhina the paki rent-a-army's entire hired trolls seem to have descended on your post :)

Next time he attempts a stunt like Pahalgam, his GHQ will be wiped out.

@pratyuGaumata @BJP4India the turd doesn't fall very far from the tree

Union Minister of state for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay's son is a serial abuser. I'm sure the system will protect him. Shame on @BJP4India for encouraging such people with ministries.

@bsdhanoa also, isn't the new appointee junior in service to all the 3 present incumbent service chiefs ?

Picking three star retirees as CDS (twice in a row) diminishes the real worth of the office & in a way lowers the dignity & prestige of the office of the three service chiefs as well. When you’ve never been at the helm of an entire service, you are a bit hemmed in to steer all 3.

@bismil_prasad @UnSubtleDesi @MamataOfficial why bother paying attention to such lowlifes ? they will find their way to the dustbin sooner or later (if not already there)... Tweeting profane inanities all day long is their only way to feel relevant in their otherwise sorry and frustrated lives

The verbal assault by @UnSubtleDesi against 3-time CM Mamata Banerjee is a new low- gutter level . To label a senior constitutional head a "stupid psychotic [expletive]" isn’t "unsubtle"—it is vile, misogynistic, and cowardly. ​Public discourse in India is sinking into the gutter. Critique the politics, but stop the vulgarity. There must be some psychological reason why @UnSubtleDesi and her ilk are so abusive and uncouth in their behaviour . #StopTheAbuse

They voted you out, you stupid psychotic bitch @MamataOfficial (Hahahah. Ab kar FIR 🤣🤣)

@dhruv_rathee *also, Haryana

27 Lakh Voters were deleted in West Bengal. These were not 'dead people' or 'bangladeshis'. These were real people who had already appealed to get their votes restored. The Supreme court could’ve delayed the West Bengal elections until the tribunals finished hearing the appeals of these voters. But they didn’t. Only around 1607 voters were restored in time by phase 2 of these elections. Almost every appeal that was heard turned out to be a wrongful deletion. In any functional democracy, this would not count as a free and fair election where a large section of voters have lost their voting rights. I'm not saying that TMC would've won for sure if they were added back, maybe BJP would still win, but the question is about the fairness of these elections. Free and fair elections are a spectrum. Ever since Delhi-Maharashtra-Bihar-Bengal, this needle has moved more and more towards being unfair. Each time somehow the opposition parties participate as usual in the electoral process thinking that they can still pull of a win despite the compromised EC, ED, CBI etc. and each time they have been proven wrong after 2024 Lok Sabha. The question is, at what point will they feel that the level of unfairness is so unfair that elections should be boycotted? I personally feel TMC should have refused to participate in these elections until all those 27 lakh appeals were finished being heard.

@ManojNaravane @navtejSarna

Read this last month, made all the more engaging as the timelines coincided with Baisakhi and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It has been in my collection for some time but could get around to reading it now as I rekindle my passion for reading post retirement.

@RoflGandhi_ @Saurabh_Unmute @TheRedMike atleast someone is trying to serve the people and work professionally..... while India's shame the Lashkar -e- Noida or more appropriately the Noida's Heera Mandi continues to damage the society/Nation & bring disrepute to India on the world stage

No studio sirens, no shrills, no sensation. Just two Indian reporters calmly reporting from Iran. For the last two months, Indian media has worked as an Israeli-American agent as Modi govt succumbed to Trump for 'unknown' reasons. Follow @Saurabh_Unmute on @TheRedMike

@Saurabh_Unmute Wonderful reporting & coverage Saurabh 👍 {Note : by the way it's "West Asia" NOT "middle-east" for us "middle east" & other such geographical terms was coined by the European/British to refer to areas with reference to THEIR location}

World Exclusive Ground Report from B1 Bridge in Karaj,Iran It connects northern Iran with Tehran. USA struck this bridge with18 missiles. After the attack,people started gathering at every bridge across Iran. It is the tallest bridge in Middle East. Full report at 8:00 PM

@DrHomeostatic *or call eachother

In India, 90% of people who call themselves RW or LW probably don’t even know what those ideologies stand for.

@narendramodi @kashikirai yes, the same man who would have won in Varanasi in 2024, had a certain "intervention" not taken place at the 11th hour wishing Ajayji speedy recovery

उत्तर प्रदेश कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष अजय राय जी के अस्वस्थ होने का समाचार प्राप्त हुआ है। मैं उनके जल्द से जल्द स्वस्थ होने की कामना करता हूं। @kashikirai

@MaheshS51861189 @KarishmaAziz_ kaafi mushkil hota hoga itni maansik bimaari aur mailepan ke saath jeena

@KarishmaAziz_ sala kangle desh ka kangla kisi suwar ka pilla lagta hai

बताया जा रहा की ये अफ्रीकन स्टूडेंट AMU के स्टूडेंट यूनियन इलेक्शन में कंटेस्ट कर रहा है। ये सबको AC देने के साथ साथ मेट्रो रेल का भी वादा कर रहा है। मोदी जो से अब भारतीय ही नहीं विदेशी भी इंस्पायर्ड दिख रहे हैं।

@BJP4India disparage all you want till a certain Charlatan's photos & videos clicked during his umpteen previous trips (& extended stays) to China (in addition to Israel & the US) come out

𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐃: 𝐑𝐚𝐡𝐮𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐢’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭. ⬇️

@bismil_prasad @kakar_harsha @dhruv_rathee @INCIndia pls don't selectively disparage ASC or MES, there are bad apples every where (side note: the Army officers from th Corps of Engineers are posted to MES for tenures. MES by itself doesn't have its "own" Army officers commissioned into it)

This is the German Stray dog barking again. No one other that this paid Chinese cheap troll @dhruv_rathee calls Great Nicobar equivalent to Hormuz. Either he is dumb or assumes Indians are dumb. Either way, no one listens to his whining other than @INCIndia

@Iran_in_India Parsi

Persian Carpet Persian Cat Persian Gulf Please add a few more as well.

@LancerFlying that's him, he generally gives the IT cell coolies a run for their money

I am sure ye Kukkar ne apna account rent par diya hua hai Warna ek 70+ ka former Major General cant be such a bada chutiya who uses typical IT cell coolie langauge😂

@zoo_bear same "energy" :)

Did you ask the same question to Nehru, Did you ask the question to Indira Gandhi, Did you ask the same question to Rajiv Gandhi, Did you ask the same question to Manmohan Singh. Huh.

@pankhuripathak ⚠️correct, but you'll have to ask the Bangladeshis as this old video is from Bangladesh

@sidd_sharma01 ⚠️ coz it's an old Video from Bangladesh c'mon man, expected better from you atleast.
