@VishnuFNO SAARC is meaningless - it achieved nothing for India . Every one had problems in the backyard whether US, China or Russia !

Do anyone Remember SAARC ? No SAARC Summits happened since November 2014 This is Our Foreign Policy Arrogant Behaviour destroyed relationship with every neighbour

@Tracking_Live Any target date or accomplishment date given by HAL is not to be believed . It will alsways get extended . HAL has mastered the art of fooling the public . All their excuses blame the whole world except themselves ! Are some IAF gents incharge at the top !

HAL is restarting the Dedicated Su-30MKI assembly at Nashik Division, which was dormant since (2019-20) after complete delivery of 272 original Su-30MKI orders. Since, 12 New Sukhoi's are ordered by IAF, its official delivery will be starting from April 2027 and final delivery by 2029 (as per official timeline) The new batch will be built with several Super Sukhoi upgrades pre-installed, including modern avionics (AESA) and compatibility with the BrahMos-ER missile with 62.6% Indigenous content.

@ShashiTharoor @IndianExpress Shashi Tharoor has shown absolutely correct position as any opposition leader should have in India . That gives him respect for his views . Compare that to some others in the opposition who do great disservice to the nation by not standing up for the country !

My latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress explains why I have not joined the widespread liberal critique of the Indian government’s “moral failure” to condemn the US-Israeli attack on Iran. India has too much at stake to indulge in the morally gratifying grandstanding that could have placed vital national interests at risk. As the late Kofi Annan advised me, citing a Ghanaian proverb: “never hit a man on the head when you have your fingers between his teeth!”

@SushilS27538625 So did you want them not to be greeted at all ! That impressive presence of Indian leaders showed that indian was stable and was doing a better job taking care of itself !

"The poor India hosted rich royals,millions expended,unjustified " In 1961, Queen Elizabeth II visited India. The royal and grand reception extended by Pandit Nehru to the royal entourage was pompous, extravagant, rich, and unprecedented. It appeared as though the British had rendered a great favor to India by ruling it for 200 years. No indication suggested that India’s ruler, Nehru, was ever mistreated or imprisoned. It was a meeting between a former slave now in power and his former master. In my view, the narrative of India’s so-called independence warrants a thorough reassessment.

@Yours_Hiccup That is why Kangladesh is begging 50000 tons of diesel from India !!

Do you know how economically dependent India is on us? In December 2022, during Sheikh Hasina's tenure, Bangladesh and India signed an agreement to build a cross-border pipeline to supply diesel to Bangladesh. India covered 75% of the cost of the 130 km pipeline – just so they can sell us their diesel. The reason is simple, transporting refined diesel from Assam to the other northeastern states of India is extremely expensive for them.

@Chellaney India needs to be calling Israel because right now Israel is calling the shots ! Perhaps a 30 days ceasefire from Israel would bring stability .

Modi’s call for de-escalation and renewed diplomacy is timely and necessary. Yet it raises a question: Why is this message being directed to leaders in the Gulf, Europe and Southeast Asia, but not to the principal actors who initiated the war and continue to drive the conflict? Today, Modi conveyed that message to Oman's ruler, the Malaysian prime minister and the French president. Earlier, he reached out to other foreign leaders.

@Ram_Guha Probably one person who needs to follow Nehru’s comment is you .

“Self-admiration is always a dangerous thing in an individual. It is equally dangerous in a nation, for it makes it self-satisfied and indolent and the world passes by leaving it behind.” Jawaharlal Nehru, September 1928.

@TonyAshai Pakis are already involved . American bases in Pak are being actively used !

Those who know Pakistan know that Pakistan will never join in a war against Iran, pact or no pact.

@Jamwanda2 It is quite a 360 turn . From the Nobel prize perspectives of settling 8 wars to starting the mother of all wars . Quite a downturn !

THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ESCALATION. THE BRITTS ARE TAKING NOTHING LYING!!!!!

@VivekSi85847001 There needs to be a major counter intelligence offensive within the inners of an airforce which has lost more aircraft on peacetime than wartime . Target engineers , repairmen, fuel suppliers …. Everybody !

IAF need proper belt treatment for the dramas they are doing. Pressure tactic is on 👇 >Where is Tejas MK1A? >Where is MK-2? >Where is GE-404 & 414 engine? >progress in own 5th Gen Jet? >progress in Engine for AMCA 4th, 4.5 & 5th induct nahi kiya & they want 6th gen.

@FactCheckAsia Pakistan is already full of gas ! Especially its politicians !

Pakistan should build Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. If iran fall, Pakistan & turkey are next

@PriyankKharge That is why indian tankers continue to pass through Hormuz !

Modi has hugged nearly every world leader and marketed each handshake as a great personal friendship. But after 12 years, what has any of this theatre actually delivered for India? Far from strengthening our position, India looks more isolated on the world stage than ever. This is the cost of a foreign policy built on optics, event management and photo-ops instead of substance, strategy and national interest.

@ScCardoz Do you also know the rates at which both are buying !

@TenzingLamsang Israël has always been India’s friend. Just like UAE , Israel is a strong partner for India . A friend in deed is a friend indeed !

Honest opinion. Instead of a hug, Modi should have given a tight slap on the face of Netanyahu given the economic pain and uncertainty Israel’s war of aggression is causing in South Asia and the larger world.

@murtazasolangi She mentioned the list of enemies and not friends. !

Tulsi is unable to see Agni-6 ICBMs of India with its range from 8,000 to 12,000 km. So let us figure out who can India hit with that range and capacity? For sure, it can’t be Pakistan and China. Wink, wink. “Pakistan strategic capabilities, missile ranges and force posture, are aimed at deterring India, not to project power beyond the region. Even Pakistan’s longest-range missiles are designed to ensure credibility of its deterrence with minimum resources, deny India strategic depth and ensure survivability of its strategic forces, he added. “Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine is based on credible minimum deterrence, to maintain strategic stability in South Asia,” he said. However, the US must not ignore the reality of India’s ICBM tests, growing fleet of nuclear armed ballistic missile nuclear submarines, largest unsafeguarded nuclear program in the developing world and an ambitions global nuclear force posture, which is way beyond the need to deter China or Pakistan but will eventually threaten the US mainland as its peer competitor, he added.” wenewsenglish.com/expert-rejects…

@DerrickEvans4WV It also gives US complete overview and location of ships at sea which use it . Very important if WW3 breaks out . That is why Chinese and Russians have developed their own systems !

I had no idea that GPS signals are free worldwide & were funded by U.S. taxpayers at roughly $2 billion/year.

@GeneralBakshi @sanjaymehta there are a lot of claims and counter claims in times of war . Propaganda and denial go hand in hand !

Unconfirmed media reports indicate that in recent missile attacks on US bases US has suffered major losses. 7 F-35 stealth fighters lost on ground in UAE Al dhafa air base on D -13 of war. On D-15 5 KC-135 tankers lost on Jebel air base in Saudi Arabia. Would be grateful if some one could fact check these for me. Iran also claims to have hit and damaged both US aircraft carriers Lincon and Ford. Also claims to have hit Ben Gurion airport in Israel very hard as also Haifa refinery. Grateful if friends could fact check these

@HindolSengupta India has almost 3 billion domestic tourists. None of the mentioned countries have that .

Saudi Arabia gets 3x the number of tourists India gets. For all our pride in our culture and history, we cannot avoid blame for being ill-mannered, and with apalling infrastructure in many places, and dirt and filth in many places. We must have the honesty to accept this.

@elonmusk There are some on the panel who don’t like DiCaprio ! He keeps missing it !

Winning an Oscar has become an embarrassment

@majidalameri3 Absolutely right !
