So, read on IRDW that one of the items in next year's IAF budget is upgrading the engines & avionics on existing Il-76/78MKI fleet to match Il-476.

Trump sends out a tweet saying that "we can't let the cure be worse than the problem". Many are interpreting this as a sign that after 15 days of lockdown, he may lift it even if the situation with virus is dire...to prevent further economic meltdown. This probably means that many aged Ame...

In India, perhaps, one small relief is that with school examinations cancelled (board exams schedule or status not yet finalized I believe), most of them are heading directly in to summer vacations...so another two months of quarantine for kids.

[Modi can only do what ever is possible for him as a human being. He wanted people to follow curfew for their own safety.

Its a shame that PR stuff is left to numerous Twitter volunteers who actually are doing a half-decent job of it. If not GoI, at least the BJP itself can hire better PR agencies...and what does the numerous think tanks in Delhi do rather than advise GoI on some of these domestic issues?
