India in last 90 days..!! Build baby Build..!!

🚨 Agnikul Cosmos, a Chennai-based space startup, is gearing up for Mission 02, India's first-ever attempt to recover a rocket booster from the ocean.

We’ll be watching this ignition on loop all day. Kalam-1200 — Vikram-1's first stage, named for Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam — roaring to life and lifting Vikram-1 off the pad, on a flight that reached orbit. #Vikram1 #MissionAagaman

India’s space ambitions soar to new heights! The successful launch of #Vikram1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle, by #SkyrootAirspace @SkyrootA today, is truly historic. The 🚀 is a reflection of what can be achieved when innovation & entrepreneurial drive of 🇮🇳’s youth are backed by the bold reforms of PM @narendramodi’s vision. #IndiaWithVikram1 #MissionAagaman #JourneyToOrbit

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀 Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability. History is made. 🇮🇳 #Vikram1 #JourneyToOrbit #SkyrootAerospace

We are excited to announce that Sarvam is partnering with @PixxelSpace to power the AI backbone of India's first orbital data centre satellite. This is a first for the country, with India-built AI models running on an India-built satellite and both training and inference happening directly in orbit, without any dependence on foreign cloud or ground infrastructure.

India to build the largest underground crude oil storage facility (4 MMT) at Chandikol (Odisha) with an investment of ₹8,743 crores.

Grok will never go to therapy. Never.

Elon Musk “They basically want to kill me because I'm stopping their fraud. And they want to hurt Tesla because we're stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government. I guess they're bad people and bad people will do bad things."

He quit his PhD at IIT Kanpur… (To build drones for the Indian Army) Meet Rama Krishna, Founder & CEO of EndureAir Today, they’re crafting long-endurance UAVs serving the Indian Army in the toughest terrains. But how did it all begin, and what does it take to build for defence?

🚨 Chennai residents can deposit used plastic bottles into a smart machine and receive eco-friendly bags in return at Marina Beach. 👌

👉Interesting: Israel-US hacked Chinese CCTV Cameras installed in Iran to track & attack Army Installations. 👉Lesson learnt: Delhi BJP Govt immediately removing 1+ Lakh Chinese CCTVs of Hikvision, Dahua Technology & TP-Link to safeguard security of National Capital.

🚨BREAKING Iranian media has released an animation titled "Lord of the Straits," themed around the Strait of Hormuz.

Chaired a meeting of the CCS to review the mitigating measures in the wake of the ongoing conflict in West Asia. We had extensive discussions on short, medium and long term measures, including ensuring continued availability of fertilisers for farmers, diversifying import sources for key sectors, promoting exports to new destinations and more. We are committed to safeguarding our citizens from the impact of the conflict. pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…

BREAKING. Every Nvidia GPU is made by TSMC. Every Apple processor is made by TSMC. Every AMD chip that matters is made by TSMC. TSMC manufactures 90 percent of the world’s most advanced logic chips on an island that imports 97 percent of its energy and has 11 days of natural gas in reserve. The war in the Persian Gulf just put the future of artificial intelligence on an 11-day clock that nobody in Silicon Valley is counting. Taiwan has no oil fields. No gas reserves. No domestic energy of any consequence. One-third of its LNG comes from the Middle East, with Qatar as the dominant supplier. Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex, which processed roughly one-third of the world’s helium before Iranian strikes shut it down, is offline for repairs that QatarEnergy’s CEO says will take three to five years. Taiwan’s mandatory LNG reserve is 11 days. South Korea holds 52. Japan holds three weeks. Taiwan holds the least backup of any major semiconductor economy on Earth and manufactures more advanced chips than all of them combined. Helium is the molecule the market is not pricing. It cools the extreme ultraviolet lithography systems that print transistors at 3 nanometres. It purges etching chambers of contamination. It tests wafer seals. There is no substitute. Without helium, the EUV machines that print every advanced chip on the planet stop. Not slow down. Stop. SK Hynix sourced 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. Taiwan relies on Qatar for the majority of its supply. Since the strikes, helium spot prices have surged 40 to 100 percent. Fitch Ratings flagged South Korea and Taiwan as the most exposed semiconductor economies. Bloomberg reported that if shortages intensify, TSMC will be forced to prioritise production of higher-margin AI chips over less profitable components. TSMC will choose Nvidia over your iPhone. That is not a prediction. It is a triage protocol dictated by the physics of a gas that just stopped arriving. TSMC says operations are normal and it is monitoring the situation. Its shares have fallen 7 percent since the war began. Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs says supplies are secured through April and half of May, with negotiations ongoing for June. The ministry described the situation as a controllable risk. It also announced plans to raise the mandatory minimum LNG reserve from 11 days to 14 days starting next year. You do not raise a minimum reserve during a crisis unless the current minimum terrifies you. The deeper layer is strategic. The war has diverted two US carrier strike groups and an amphibious ready group to the Persian Gulf. The Pacific naval presence that deters Chinese pressure on Taiwan is thinner than at any point since the regional crisis began in 2023. Beijing does not need to invade. It needs to signal. A military exercise near Taiwan during a helium shortage and an LNG cliff would achieve through perception what a blockade achieves through force. The actuarial warfare that closed Hormuz commercially through insurance withdrawal could close the Taiwan Strait using the same mechanism. Seven reinsurance letters shut Hormuz in five days. The Taiwan Strait is 110 miles wide. If the risk model changes, the letters follow. The strait is 21 miles wide. The chip is 3 nanometres small. The helium that connects them just stopped flowing. And the island that makes every AI chip on Earth has around 11 days of gas and a government that just admitted it needs more. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

India’s Project Kusha Clears Key Trials... Indigenous 400 km Air Defence Shield Advances 🇮🇳🔥 India has achieved a major milestone in air defence with successful development trials of Project Kusha (ERADS). > DRDO, in partnership with BEL, has moved beyond initial design phase > Program now entering advanced testing and flight trial stage > Aims to build a multi-layered air defence shield... Protecting against: ▪️ Fighter jets ▪️ Cruise missiles ▪️ Drones & AEW&C aircraft 📌 Multi-layer interceptor system > M1 interceptor: ~100–150 km range > Designed for tactical threats & low-flying targets > M2 interceptor: ~250 km range > Bridges medium to long-range defence gap > M3 interceptor: 350–400 km range > Targets high-value assets & long-range threats 👉 All layers work together to create overlapping defence coverage. 📌 Now here's what's next: > Flight trials for M1 coming soon > Followed by progressive testing of M2 & M3 > IAF has already cleared AoN for multiple squadrons > Initial induction expected by late 2020s 👉 This is part of Mission Sudarshan Chakra (India’s air defence grid)... Complementing systems like Akash-NG & QRSAM > With the development of Project Kusha, India moves closer to a fully indigenous, long-range air defence network 👉 Project Kusha could become India’s answer to advanced global air defence systems... built at home, for full-spectrum protection. 📌 Follow @_TheTathya for more such updates.
