From economics thread, there was a post by me last week on EPFO, based on article by finance writer Monika HAlan Thanks vijayk for the article by Monika Halan. Most apt is the description of EPFO as an organisation that is opaque and scores low on metrics of transparency. It is a ticking time bomb ...

The damage we inflicted is now becoming public. S400's 92N6E radar has a range of 340 kms, according to russian sources(link below). The only missile in this family that has more than 300 kms range is the 40N6E. Unless it's not DDM and we actually hit their craft at these ranges, this will be a new...

Landers tipping over seems like a design \ algorithm issue where they either failed to reduce the horizontal velocity to zero before touch down or the landing area had a steep slope. Chandrayaan 3 \ Vikram took care of it by way of a hover mode at 150 meters above surface to assess the risk and then...
