On the face of it, the joint statement on defence ticks all the right boxes. However, the two-decade-long India-US defence cooperation has promised much and delivered too little.
New Delhi: The Army Air Defence (AAD) is eyeing a massive upgrade to bolster its counter-unmanned aerial system (UAS) capabilities. The combat support arm is...
Known as Hermes 900, the drone is being assembled by Adani Defence and Aerospace which has a tie-up with Israel's Elbit. There would be no losses for Navy as it hadn't been inducted.
Use of drones is among initiatives taken by Centre to push for using tech to bring in transparency & accountability in MGNREGS work. However, only 11 states have been using drones for this.
This delivery for the Army may possibly be the world’s first operational high density swarming Unmanned Aerial System induction for military applications.
Mystery surrounds Arshiyan Haider, an AMU-educated engineer, who helped upgrade IS drones and missiles. ThePrint follows his trail from India to Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Govt procedures that masquerade as safety nets for minimising financial loss can only stifle innovation. Modi govt's well-intentioned iDEX scheme seems headed that way.
The systems are intended to ‘detect, track, identify, designate and neutralize’ hostile drones, and a Laser-DEW is essentially required as a ‘kill option’.
The Economic Survey 2025-26 is not a celebration of success, but a measured warning that the traditional paradigms of global economic growth are no longer applicable.
The IT services sector contributed more than half of India’s Gross Value Added, serving as a major driver of exports and employment, the Economic Survey 2025-26 has found.
Shield AI will provide V-BAT vertical takeoff & landing drones along with licences for software, which will be integrated into aircraft and made available to select Indian partners.
No nation other than China can negotiate one-on-one with Trump on an equal footing. That’s why the middle powers who so far formed the core of multilateral bodies now feel orphaned.
The author is concerned the masses are naively imagining that it has ended? He feels compelled to caution them against becoming sanguine so early!
Pardon me. I too can’t immediately recall who has been feeding the imagination of the masses about invasions, re-occupations, blood-thirsty retributions, and immediate, iron-handed reprisals.
Mr. Jerry Rao, like most who have similarly graduated from India’s public-funded elite institutions, always behaves as if that one credential gained long time back granted to him for perpetuity…with no further need ever for right effort by him…soaring intellectual and moral superiority, and temporal entitlements, which others cannot question.
Hence, the regular writings from him laden with uncured philosophical concoctions, silly narratives of ostensibly personal ideological struggles, and disjointed historical references; all to eulogize either himself or the fetid regimen which he considers favourable.
This guy was banished to Citibank ME or somewhere because of his irregularities that got uncovered in Citibank’s major scam of 1992. He has made his share of loot in the recent governments of the ruling party through ventures that exploited dubious govt. missions.
He represents the slimy, unctuous crony capitalism which is the mirror image of the hypocritical, self-righteous, “socialist” credo that justified the license raj.
Worse, he does not know to call it a day.
Even at this crucial juncture, is there a grain of honest self-introspection, and sincere analysis in this latest flagellation of us by him?
Note how conveniently he credits all of the little that is imaginably good, even if insubstantial or unsubstantiated, to those in power whom he favours. While implying that the rot which has unabatedly continued even under those very them is despite them, and not because of them.
But, the certainity he will surely be having is that only they can do what must be done. Which is to set straight the rest of us. For which they need more time, and use more force.
