As per Indian express article given below and also today's TOI print addition, Pakistan and IMF have reached a staff level agreement. Though it will be sometime before the pakis see the money, as they will have to implement some of the things that have been agreed upon. https://indianexpress.com/art...

IMHO the war will go on for a long time. The West has invested way too much money and political and media capital to pull back now. The escalation will continue further with western fighter aircrafts also almost certainly joining the fray, sometime in the future. Reportedly, Lockheed has already sta...

Remember the old movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. The local students studying in the govt run local public school were referred to as 'Pajama Chhaap' by the rich private boarding school students.

Two aircrafts, 1 Su-30MKI and 1 Mirage 2K crash in Madhya Pradesh. All pilots safe. Happened during an exercise.

The Pakis cannot out produce Korea, Israel or Europe in 155mm ammunition. They are probably giving 122mm and 155mm Ammo from existing stocks. 122mm is mostly Chinese supplied but compatible with Ukranian 122mm guns. I hope they are made to part with those T80 UD tanks also I doubt the pakis would b...

If the war really degenerates into a US/NATO vs Russia production war, then sooner or later, Russia will start loosing. In such a scenario, it would probably have to depend a lot more on China, to get a lot of the electronic components and raw materials needed to keep up the production rates. China ...

The pakis are reaping the rewards of the Korean 155mm artillery shell factory. They have been supplying large quantity of ammunition to NATO for Ukraine and the latest news about the IMF finally agreeing to visit Pakistan seems to be reward for this. The US and others might also be helping the pakis...

From some of the news bites, it seems the changes proposed are mainly for dispute redressal. Currently India is miffed that a neutral expert and a court of arbitration both have been convened.

Composite wings (feathers?) for the Su-30MKI is new. This has never been reported earlier.

I think the clincher was Naval Group signing up to support the effort and certify the sub after the fitment of the AIP module. They obviously did this after the carrot for 2-3 more Scorpenes was dangled. Also, with the DRDO AIP module and potentially Li-On batteries from Japan, the Scorpene class wo...

Germans have refused to send any Leopard tanks to Ukraine or allow any other country to send German origin tanks, until the US sends heavy armour to Ukraine.
