It seems like cases are on the rise again in Mumbai...Amber G, if you are still posting on the forum, any chance of 4th wave in India?

Amber G...I hope you continue to post Covid related news in this thread...its been quite useful...at least to me. In early Jan, I read on Twitter about a group who had started a project to understand why Omicron is able to evade immunity provided by previous infections and/or vaccine. Hopefully some...

Just thinking if US recently offered additional Chinook's at discounted prices to entice India to cancel additional Mi-17 orders. IAF is quite happy with Chinooks. If Chinook is assembled in India & US is offering a good rate, I don't see any reason why GoI wouldn't jump on the deal...although C...

How are apps like CarInfo legal in India? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuvora.carinfo&hl=en_IN&gl=US The above app seem to give out RC Info and other details up on entry of vehicle plate number. AFAIK, this info is supposed to be restricted to RTO and should be accessed ...

There is no room in Rudra to accommodate passengers in the cabin...it is filled with ammunition for gun as well as LRUs for FCS. AFAIK, there are no seats installed in Rudra's cabin and I doubt it is certified to carry any passengers at all. It is good that IAF wants more Rudra but again surprising ...

I feel like the same Russian MIL equipments would fare better in Indian scenarios due to perhaps better training, co-ordination & tactics etc. And its also good that we are slowly moving away from Russian sensors to either Western (Israeli/EU) or Indian ones. I know the losses threshold is diffe...

Amber G...any updates from Sutra folks about possibility of XE variant causing another wave in India? In Delhi, detected cases has risen by 50% in one day although the overall daily case was still around 300. Some shooting up of cases has been happening across certain states in Northern India.

Our entire bureaucracy and law enforcement are rotten to the very core at every level.

Perhaps corruption ...

WION's YT channel has been suspended for 7 days since they aired Russian FM's speech following Ukr FM's speech.

Still not comfortable going to a theatre but anyways, it seems like the number of theatres screening Kashmir Files are less than 1000 (many on Twitter mention 600-800) compared to 10,000 screens in India.
