Drdo and IN successfully conducted a maiden flight trial of sea-based endo-atmospheric interceptor for naval BMD (ballistic missile defence)

Isro PSLV launched successfully today

PSLV is unique among other launchers in the world in that it's 4th stage after ejecting all its satellites can function as orbiting space laboratory

In this mission after satellites are separated it will stay in orbit to conduct tests for startup BellatrixAero electric thruster

Electric thrusters for satellites is 1 of the new technologies being developed to maneuver a satellite

In other late news a new ind... space startup Pixxel has bagged a five-year contract for supplying technical hyperspectral imagery to US National Reconnaissance Organization (NRO) lol

Other than the electric thrusters another payload for testing on orbital experimental module was a Quantum Communication Payload named QuantESS however due to some problems it was not sent

Love or hate this guy, his nuclear weapons is why the US has not invaded. They are his insurance policy and have proven extraordinarily effective.

But while Kim struggles with obesity as the rest of his citizens starve, it bears asking if even without nuclear weapons, China would agree to let the US invade N0rth Kore@ for fear it is maskirovka for an actual invasion of Ch1na

I actually wanna buy 3 bikes and get special license plates for them. The names would be Fishbed, Flanker and Fulcrum. Fishbed would be the fastest bike and thats a 3rd gen Hayabusa. Flanker would be a late gen Fireblade and Fulcrum would be an 899 Panigale.

Incidentally, it is my view that the Ducati 899 Panigale is the best looking bite ever built.

I still find it difficult to believe that North Koreans are starving. Trust me when I say this, hunger can make you do the unthinkable just to get food and Mr Kim Jong Un is just an obese, defenceless guy.If the people were really hungry, they would have revolted and against him a long time ago. But the case is different.

Just watch and listen to this news report of 1 month ago and tell me if it looks or sound like North Koreans are starving.

I guess you must not have heard what happened during the mid to late 90s when millions of north Kore@ns died during a widespread famine and choose to eat each other rather than protest.

It's like you don't understand how the country works. The citizens are subjected to unceasing propaganda telling them that Kim can hear their thoughts, controls the weather and is all that's keeping them safe in a world run amok. State agents are all around and the slightest bit of disloyalty can get not only you arrested and imprisoned, but also 3 generations.

I will stop here. Just read up bro

That was in the 90s during Kim Jong Il's (Kim Jong Un's father) regime and it was as a result of international isolation and sanctions.
Kim Jong Un came into power in 2011 as a man different from his father(although the only difference is that he's a little bit more considerate and compassionate) and ever since his ascent to power I don't think they've reported any case of famine. No food means the people will be weak. A weak person can't be forced to construct and launch ballistic missiles. But these guys launch them like every month.

I n d i a n Navy Twin Carrier Strike Group in Arabian Sea June 2023

Composition:-
1X Vikrant class aircraft carrier
1X Vikramaditya class aircraft carrier
3X Kolkata class destroyers
1X Visakhapatnam class destroyers
1X Talwar class frigate
1X Replenishment Oiler

Five ships (all the destroyers and INS Vikrant) have Cooperative Engagement Capability, which drastically improves the air-defences of this fleet. Most powerful naval flotilla in I n d i a n Ocean Region with sole exception of U S Navy.

I n d i a has been operating aircraft carriers since 1960s and has wanted to field a three-carrier fleet since entering the 21st century.
Trip down memory lane, photos of I n d i a n Navy twin carrier operations:-

Picture 1
INS Vikrant (old) and INS Viraat, the first two carriers of I n d i a n Navy. Both carriers are light carriers. Picture from the late 1990s.

Picture 2
INS Viraat and INS Vikramaditya, after the old INS Vikrant retired, it was replaced by a modified R u s s i a n Kiev-class carrier named INS Vikramaditya in 2013. One carrier is light carrier, one is medium carrier.

Picture 3
INS Vikrant (new) and INS Vikramaditya, after INS Viraat retired in 2017, it was replaced in 2022 by the first I n d i a n-designed and built aircraft carrier. Both carriers are medium carriers.

Should the carriers be leading? It should be the most powerful destroyers leading the fleet.

That was not an operational formation. It was for photo ops. Pretty normal to have carriers upfront in such situations. For example, during a recent Exercise Malabar, three carriers (one each from J a p a n , U S A and I n d i a) were leading during the photo ops.

Actual operational formation can be seen from the satellite picture below. There you can see the Destroyers leading.

It's not only a food issue but the flawed mentality of the people. I remember, few months back, a documentary on the entertainment sector of North Korea. The students in the North Korean film institute were asked why they were either being actors or singers. The common reply? "I want to act/sing to please the Great Leader", "I'm doing this for my great leader", "I want to entertain my Great leader".

A country where people can't think or pursue dreams for their selves or the betterment of the people of their nation, rather only for the pleasure of a narcissistic and undeserving individual.

There was a strato tanker in the area as well so most likely the fighters had their transponders off

You don't get it, bros. Right from birth and until death, these people are fed an unceasing diet of propaganda blaring from speakers and the pages of newspapers and books that tells them that Kim Jong Un is the greatest human ever. He supposedly can read hearts and minds, control the weather and other nonsense. And yes, lots of North Koreans believe all that because it is the only thing they know and contrary opinions will get them and their families killed.

Wandering around Twitter street I came across a tweet flogging Ind... for getting few Chinooks

I could have sworn it was Nemesis4you if it wasn't for grammatic blunders here and there in the tweet

But from now I shall call Nemesis4you Vivek Sìn/gh, after the person who made that tweet

After a long time eh
