What he said - that, exactly that!

@AVE_603 LOL, the comments section of the QT is just hilarious. Must have laughed for like good 2-3 minutes! 😂

Muscle Mommy🥵🥵🥵

@protosphinx let the funnn begin!

from today, i’ll post my true reaction to whatever i read and delete it after 2k views. this is to incentivize rapid screenshot taking.

🇮🇳 Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath sat down with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong to discuss crypto in India. This should be interesting!

Nominal GDP is a flawed yardstick, sure. But then why is it the ONLY number we flex on the global stage, and never GDP per capita? Same logic applies to defence spending. India’s defence budget is ~30-35% larger than France’s in nominal USD terms ($86- 87B vs ~$65B). Yet we’re the ones showing up with a katora for 114 more Rafales, while running our own AMCA and TEDBF programmes on a shoestring. And spare me the “LCA MK2/Mk1A are delayed” excuse. MMRCA existed well before Mk2 was even a roadmap item.

My thanks to @cvkrishnan for asking me to share my memories of the LCA control law (CLAW) design. Please bear with me for the lengthy thread. I returned to India in June 1989 as the Director of CAIR. Almost at once, I was asked to sit in on a review of the LCA project. 1/n

@alex_kokcharov Any idea what tool is used to create this infographic?

This excellent infographic explains the layered nature of the "kill-zone" along the frontlines in Ukraine - with this "kill-zone" mirrored on both sides of the battlefield. Source on LinkedIn: lnkd.in/p/eCg3W_Sy

Future proofing India’s strategic communication networks with quantum technology, DRDO has successfully completed military field trails of a scalable and practically secure, fiber based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system. Leveraging their lab level proof of concept and experience of previous trials, the DRDO team with their industry partner, Taqbit Labs, Bengaluru has successfully architected and productized this advanced system to secure critical networks. This milestone successfully lays the foundation for a large-scale, multi-hop quantum networks that is indigenously designed and can seamlessly safeguard national communication infrastructure against emerging cyber threats in the quantum era. #AatmanirbharBharat #QuantumTechnology #DefenseInnovation #MakeInIndia #CyberSecurity #QuantumSafe #DeepTechIndia

@AVE_603 @joe_sameer @OfficialCLAWSIN @RUSI_org Sure :)

@bulb_ultimate @joe_sameer @OfficialCLAWSIN @RUSI_org Mujhe bhi bata dena🙂🙂🙂🙏🏻

How does China's #PLA Combined Arms Brigade #CAB fight—not as a collection of platforms, but as one integrated combat system. Mapping the flow - sense, suppress, breach, exploit & sustain—linking ISR, fires, manoeuvre, AD & logistics in time & depth. @OfficialCLAWSIN @RUSI_org

CapabilitySpotlight@TataAdvancedSystems A milestone for indigenous innovation. A platform built for the future battlefield. Jointly developed by Tata Advanced Systems and VRDE, DRDO, the Advanced Armoured Tracked Platform (AATP) represents the next generation of indigenous armoured mobility under the Make in India initiative. Flagged off in April 2026, the fully indigenous AATP is engineered to deliver the mobility, protection and mission versatility required for modern battlefield operations. Designed as a modular, amphibious tracked platform, it can be configured for multiple roles while enabling integration of advanced weapon systems and electronic warfare capabilities, including Carrier Platform for Command & Control , AD Guns and Missiles Built to perform. Designed to adapt. Ready for every mission. #TataAdvancedSystems #DRDO #VRDE #MakeInIndia #AtmanirbharBharat #Defence #Innovation #ArmouredVehicles

Congratulations 🎉

VImag Labs blew my mind. They've built what they call a Virtual Magnet Synchronous Motor (VMSM). Traditional permanent magnet motors rely on rare earth magnets inside the rotor. These magnets are imported and expensive. Instead of using permanent magnets, VImag's rotor contains windings that are electronically excited and precisely controlled through software. As current is induced and managed in the rotor, it behaves like a "virtual magnet" allowing the rotating magnetic field from the stator to drive the motor just like a conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor. This means that the motor delivers the benefits of a permanent magnet design without actually needing rare earth magnets. Their current prototype is rated for 6 kW continuous power, with a peak output of 10 kW and 48 to 58 Nm of torque. The initial target market is EVs (everything from two wheelers, three wheelers, buses, and trucks). They may also use them in compressors and ceiling fans. The upsides are: 1. Lower cost. 2. Lower weight. 3. Smaller size. 4. Ability to control magnetic field. 5. Improved efficiency over PMSM. 6. Indigenous manufacturing and supply chain resilience. The company has been working on this tech since 2020.

Indian Army to Induct 450 Carl Gustaf M4 Rocket Launchers The Indian Army is set to acquire 450 locally manufactured Carl Gustaf M4 84mm rocket launchers to enhance the firepower of infantry units deployed in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Key features: 🔹 Under 7 kg, significantly lighter than earlier variants 🔹 Effective range of up to 1,000 metres 🔹 Designed to operate in temperatures from +50°C to -20°C 🔹 Compatible with a wide range of indigenously produced ammunition, including anti-tank and high-explosive rounds The Carl Gustaf M4 is being manufactured at Saab's facility in Jhajjar, Haryana, strengthening India's domestic defence manufacturing ecosystem.

UPDATE: New details have emerged in the case of U.S. national Jordan Brown, who was detained near the India–Nepal border. According to police, Brown claims to be a former U.S. Navy serviceman who lost his passport in Thailand before travelling through Sri Lanka and arriving in India by sea in November 2025. He also claims to have visited 70 countries and is married to an Indian woman. An FIR has been registered under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, and authorities are verifying his identity, travel history, and claims.

Thread: Colonel Avin Uthaiya On September 26, 2013, heavily armed fidayeen (suicide) terrorists launched a coordinated attack in the Samba district of Jammu & Kashmir. After striking a police station, they advanced toward an Army installation, triggering a fierce counter-terrorism operation. This thread outlines the verified actions of Colonel Avin Uthaiya during the operation. @adgpi @IAF_MCC @indiannavy @official_dgar @HQ_IDS_India @SpokespersonMoD @DefenceMinIndia @rajnathsingh @rashtrapatibhvn

@KPSingh0809 @cvkrishnan Armed Forces keep doing this with not just LCA but with other platforms as well. Tiny and irregular orders, not enough to sustain assembly lines, and to retain people. We need our own MIC, and that won't happen without patience, and trial & error. Mere sloganeering won't do.

All the self loathing and cynical people should read this to understand what Tejas program gave the country.

#Exclusive : Indian Air Force (IAF) is inviting indigenous industry partners to develop a Medium Altitude Heavy Lift Airship under the DAP-2020 Make-I category. This hydrogen-based platform aims for persistent ISR, communication relay, and drone launch capabilities.  Key Specs: • Endurance: 10–30 days.  • Payload: 2,000–5,000 kg.  • Altitude: Up to 30,000 ft AMSL.  • Speed: 100 kts TAS.
