Pleb?

@AyushRaj299 @Tsukuyomi2170 At 1.5tons, even if it fits, it's the only weapon amca will be able to carry at best lol. Not practical.

@Tsukuyomi2170 Will brahmos NG fit inside?

India needs to work on new series of Stand off missiles which can be launched from the Internal weapons bay of our AMCA which will enable it to hit targets without being in range of their air defense systems USA 🇺🇸 has Joint Strike Missile An air cruise missile with a range of over 500 km which can be launched from the Internal Weapon bays of F35. It has a total weight of 416 kg and has a TNT yeild of 100kg. Russia 🇷🇺has KH 69 An ALCM which has a range of over 400km and it can be launched IWB of Su 57. Due to large size of Su 57 it can carry 4 KH 69. The missile has a total weight of 750 kg and has 300kg of Warhead weight. Israel 🇮🇱 has Ice Breaker Its also a LO ALCM like the others however it hasn't been integrated on any 5th gen fighter. However, with it low size that shouldn't be an issue. It has weight of only 400 kg with 113 kg of warhead with a range of over 300km. There are mant other missiles which aim to perform a similar role as well like US Mako and SIAW. And India must aim to develop similar class of munitions for our own 5th gen fighter AMCA

@Tsukuyomi2170 We should have a rudram 3 lite by then. But I'm sure the babus will already be planning to import ice breakers lol

@InsightGL 20 years behind in tech, 200 years behind in mindset. Hindus simple don't have the confidence and self esteem of Han Chinese.

-Victor Zhikai Gao, VP of Center for China & Globalization: #China is at least 20 years ahead of #India in economic, technological & defence manufacturing capacity -He argues China can independently produce all major weapons (jets, ships, missiles, etc.) -India, in his view, still lacks a full industrial base & expertise to do the same -Gao notes that in 1978 China & India were broadly comparable in GDP, but today China’s economy is about 5x larger than India’s -He highlights China’s scale in electronics, shipbuilding, EVs, AI & infrastructure as the backbone of its military–industrial edge over India -While there is some truth to it, these remarks are China‑centric, PR‑oriented narratives—useful to understand Beijing’s framing of the India–China power gap, but not a neutral or complete assessment of India’s fast‑growing defence‑industrial trajectory -Such experts are also quiet on poor performance & failure of Chinese military equipment across the globe

@alpha_defense Tbh MEA has been the weakest link in Modi 2.0. We need to find our own Wang Yi which SJS simply isn't.

MEA saw the bait, inspected the bait, acknowledged the bait… and then still swallowed it whole.

@veenavenugopal Yesss. He’s too soft for us. We need someone more radical. More Hindu and more capitalist.

Perhaps for the first time in his tenure, there appears to be considerable anger — or at least anxiety — among Modi’s core voter base: middle-class India. as.ft.com/r/79755fe7-241…

@alysha_lobo Democracies cannot industrialize

🚨: Monday Truth Bomb: Why India isn't flying with the rest of the flock The "Flying Geese" model was created by Japanese economist Kaname Akamatsu in the 1930s. He developed it to explain how developing nations can catch up with industrial superpowers. The core idea is simple: a lead goose (the advanced nation) innovates and creates new products. As its labor costs rise, it exports those mature manufacturing industries to the next tier of nations, moving itself up to higher-value technology. Historically, 🇯🇵Japan was the undisputed leader of this formation starting in the 1950s. It passed its textile and low-end electronics manufacturing down to the Asian Tigers (🇰🇷South Korea, 🇹🇼Taiwan, 🇨🇳China, 🇸🇬Singapore) in the 1970s. Those nations then passed labor-intensive work down to ASEAN countries like 🇲🇾Malaysia, 🇹🇭Thailand, and 🇮🇩Indonesia. But looking at the economic reality today, that old formation is dead. The graphic makes it right in your face: 🇨🇳China has completely taken over the lead position, and it is leading by a massive margin. China is no longer just a follower taking hand-me-downs; it is the absolute center of gravity for global manufacturing and supply chains. This shift is what makes 🇮🇳India's position so concerning while I have been speaking with senior Government of India officials and analysts at The Capital Group (managing $ 3 Trillion AUM) -- 🇮🇳India is completely absent from this entire flock. While our Asian neighbors integrated their supply chains and built physical factories, India took a completely different path. We skipped the manufacturing phase almost entirely, moving straight from agriculture to services. We effectively turned ourselves into the software services back-office for the West, particularly the 🇺🇸US. By leaning so heavily toward the West, we alienated ourselves from the rest of Asia and the regional trade networks that fuel this flying geese dynamic. Now, that trade-off is costing us. Service jobs support a small urban elite, but they cannot replace the massive ecosystem of blue-collar wealth that comes from physical factory floors. By staying out of the Asian manufacturing loop, India missed the greatest wealth-creation engine of the modern era.

@DivaJain2 or maybe, just maybe, get rid of small inefficient farmers.

This will be a hard pill to swallow. GoI will need to look for avenues to raise additional revenue to offset a part of this - discretionary imports and sin goods will be good targets.

@Karma40114312 Limitless natural resources. Australia is a mine.

Man i truly wonder what makes Australia/New Zealand different from the other Nations in the Southern Hemisphere for them to be so Rich.

@carlgram_ India is an empire that's conquering the west. Cry about it.

@KSingh_1469 Yes. India can just walk in. Because only India is ready to put in tens of billions on a foreign military program.

Indian big brains think they can just walk in and demand tier 1 partner status in a 6th gen consortium in 5+ years when these things are being cemented now Another generation will know nothing but import dependency

@bridgebench GLM is slow but as good as Opus 4.6

Kimi K2.6 is a perfect example of benchmaxing. When it dropped they said it was as good as Claude Opus 4.6. As we used this model in real world vibe coding workflows we saw that it was complete garbage. The lava lamp test on BridgeBench is a perfect example of this. A massive yellow blob. Chinese open source models like Kimi K2.6 and GLM 5.1 are benchmaxed. They are slow, unreliable, and when you actually use them they end up costing WAY MORE than the tokenenomics suggest.

@IndianGems_ Karantaka govt "new" freebies per year: $6 billion

Government supported AI investments — 🇺🇸 United States: $328 billion 🇻🇳 China: $133 billion 🇮🇳 India: $2 billion The number itself is shameful.

@bhaumikgowande If China is communist I'm Albert Einstein

First in my bloodline to see a communist country outbuild and outclass the world’s richest capitalist nations.

If GPUs generate enough heat to boil water So why aren't we using that steam to power them back?

@Deb_livnletliv @grok list the major economies who have capital gains taxes

Finally people are pulling off the Vishwaguru mask Samir Arora on FII "There are some 200 countries in the world, 199 countries has no Tax, Only one country has it" Jayant Mundhra "People aren't fools to bang plates again Austerity call is drama ₹ may crash to 150 against $"

Most anti Muslim messaging comes out of India according to Grok.

@cyborg_reborn The order to turn Pak into Parking lot will come from her.

Two nation theory in a single image.

@ShrutiDhore Yay exports will be more competitive. I hope it crosses 110.

🚨 Today The Rupee Fell To 96. Don't mistake these people dancing like Clowns for ordinary people; they are our country's economists, Currently Working at the EAC-PM NITI Aayog. His name is Sanjeev Sanyal, and Modi ji was running the country's economy on his advice. 🙆‍♀️

@shan_yem @sachavada108 @ishaan_ANI Even if 8 rafales were downed that night, it wouldn't have made any difference to us lol

@obnoxious_pleb @sachavada108 @ishaan_ANI And Rafale/S400 were supposed to ground PAF but instead IAF was grounded and India asked Trump for ceasefire. Indian fantasy never become reality on ground.

"Most consequentially, they asked Beijing to provide Pakistan with a sea-based nuclear second-strike capability, the most sensitive element of any nuclear power’s deterrent, and a capability Pakistan has spent two decades trying to develop on its own. China refused." Fantastic article chronicling the double games of Rawalpindi and corroborates India's suspicions.

@JackRangaswami Trading Chinese relationship to Trump is the second stupdiest thing Pak did. First is breaking away from India lol.

Lots of interesting details: >Munir fought with Iran >Munir went all in on US >IMF bailout linked to Pak regime change and change in forpol >Munir said no to chinese demands thus KOing chinese investments We might see more Pak purchases from US not china going ahead
