We are already at a stage where we should speed-run AMCA like our lives depend on it(they do)
But it keeps getting delayed as if MoD thinks we can counter J-20s with F3R Rafales

AMCA also can’t supercruise with F414
AMCA's Internal weapon bay is definitely a problem. The size needs to be increased as well as there are no dedicated IWB for Close Combat Missiles. Also Astra Missiles themselves need modification. Don't know what purpose medium size specifically serves. Why not directly go for F-22 and Su 57 class type aircraft?

I’ll give you another one
We developed electron microscopes using principles derived from our understanding of atoms, so that we could eventually observe those very atoms ourselves
I was reading about black holes and I found something insane.
So get this.
Newton discovers basic gravity, right? Apples falls from a tree.
Why does it fall from a tree? He said objects with mass attract one another. Yeah, okay, good. But then people were like

Been saying this since forever, most those are fucking ROOF MOLDS
You can clearly see that their patterns are similar in the before and after pictures

Private startups are finally competing in the right sector, rather than competing over who delivers food and groceries better
This is just WOW 😮
Neat & Clean Everest Rocket by India's @astrobase_space for its Reusable Rocket.
Great Going @neerajKh_ & Team 💪🇮🇳

Even if your bullshit of shooting 5 jets is true, we have 600 fighters, and you have 21 air bases, do the math

Invaded the independent state of Kashmir, forced the rest of Kashmir to accede to India for protection and put an end to the Naya kashmir dreams once and for all*
I thought IAF was over confident when they said they can fight PLAAF with Rafales, but these guys...

That's not interception, that's BrahMos entering its terminal phase, dropping its altitude and disappearing from radar
And if it had lost the radar track, then it wouldn't have been been intercepted
No AD has 100% interception rate, yes, but an AD + EW must have close to 100%
The Actual Radar Imagery From May 10 . How PAF Was Tracking Brahmos From The Moment It Was Launched . Majority Of Brahmos Were Intercepted Clearly Visible In The Complete Video .
No ADS In The World Has A 100 Percent Interception Rate . US Iran War Is A Clear Example Of That .

Look who's talking about "acknowledging losses"
The Indian government and military have refused to acknowledge the losses. I urge the Government of Islamic Republic of Pakistan to provide humanitarian assistance to the families of Indian civilians killed by falling wreckage from jets shot down by the PAF in India.

How DRDO and ISRO be moving lately
ISRO shares a detailed update on its LOX-Methane engine programme, the propulsion planned for the Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) and for the future heavy-lift vehicle for India's crewed lunar landing (target 2040).
Why methane?
- Clean combustion
- Low maintenance, which helps reusability
- Can be made on Mars from CO2 + water ice, which helps future Mars missions and human settlement
LM20-TD: the demonstrator (2019–2020)
- 20-tonne thrust technology demonstrator built from existing CE-20 cryogenic engine subsystems
- Converted to LOX-CH4 by modifying the propellant flow control and engine start-up systems
- Gas generator cycle, with thrust chamber, fuel-rich GG, LOX & fuel turbopumps, igniter, and a mixture ratio control valve with electric drive
- Test sequence worked out with an in-house mathematical model
- 1 cold flow + 5 hot tests at IPRC
- Gave key data on chill-down, ignition, engine start, combustion and rotor-dynamics
LME1100: the main engine (started 2023)
- 1100 kN thrust, Gas Generator Cycle
- Designed to be industry-friendly and cost-effective
- Over 70% of components made by additive manufacturing (3D printing) with industry partners across India
Gas Generator
- 3D printed, in qualification tests at IPRC
- Sub-scale GG tests worked out the ignition sequence with a spark torch igniter and tested the 3D-printed injector elements
- First ignition test of the full-scale GG on October 9, 2026, with more tests planned
Thrust Chamber
- Sub-scale hot test campaign at IPRC
- Proved the new manufacturing methods planned for the full-scale chamber
- Settled the best injector configuration
- Showed both oxidiser-rich and fuel-rich spark torch igniters working
Turbopumps
- LOX and methane turbopumps made by Indian industry
- 3D-printed LOX pump impeller spin-tested at LPSC up to its rated speed
- Seals and bearings in qualification at LPSC and IPRC
- Cold flow tests of the integrated turbopumps ongoing at IPRC
Ignition systems
- GOX-GCH4 spark torch igniters, oxidiser-rich and fuel-rich
- Semiconductor spark plug igniter (LPSC + VSSC + IIST)
- Laser ignition, demonstrated with GOX-GH2 and GOX-GCH4
What's next
- Integrated LME1100 engine ready by mid-2027, followed by a hot test series including different thrust throttling profiles
- Design completed for a 2400 kN Full Flow Staged Combustion Cycle (FFSCC) engine, meant for a future human-rated heavy-lift launch vehicle for crewed lunar landing missions

I bet this guy googled the strongest fighters from these countries and asked Grok to compare them to farm engagement from avgeeks
Hey @grok these four are locked in a close-range dogfight.
Which one gets smoked first? Remove the weakest....

Then why couldn’t you see a human as a human and report Anojan to Saudi, knowing the punishment for blasphemy in KSA
If your religion has the right to execute a human for speaking ill of a pedophile, then we have every right to see a dog as a companion of god
