India's To Be or Not to Be Aircraft Carrier

Joined August 2022
Carrier critics: Aircraft Carriers (which move) are "sitting ducks" in today's ISR saturated, precision strike environment Also carrier critics: Shore-based air (which operates from static airfields) is the solution. youtube.com/watch?v=bAnhSkHR…

Jai Hind The judicial custody of #AshutoshRanka and #SauravDas must be urgently reviewed and they must be released immediately. Hoisting the National Flag, even in a prohibited area, should not warrant such prolonged detention. The judiciary and the executive must rise to the occasion to ensure that the youth of this country do not lose faith in the rule of law and constitutional rights.

20+ independent human rights experts call on Indian 🇮🇳 authorities to respect, protect and fulfil the right to peacefully protest, and ensure justice for human rights violations reported during these and earlier protests. "This crackdown reflects a broader, troubling pattern.”

I can categorically say this claim from @DelhiPolice is a lie. It took the phones. “We did not take anyone’s phones. These people misplace their phones themselves or leave them at home. They then put pressure on the police.”
24 phones missing after Delhi Police detentions. Where did they go? Detainees say police took their phones and promised to return them. The police deny taking them. An e-FIR has been filed, but the phones remain unaccounted for. @SavyasachiAstha newslaundry.com/2026/10/20/t…

We have moved the Delhi High Court and requested an urgent night hearing. Saurav and Ashutosh should not spend a single minute behind bars. Their liberty must not be curtailed because of political games. Justice must not wait. @Cockroachisback

Folks will point to US hypocrisy given that Pak is a DoD client state. And David Headley But fact remains that the original warnings did come from Western intelligence and FBI helped greatly in the investigation. And Israelis in capability building. Realpolitik is complex.
Honored to accompany @SecRubio to the 26/11 memorial at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel to pay tribute to the victims and recognize the courage of Indian security forces. The United States and India remain resolute in confronting terrorism in all its forms.

Slightly weird messaging but the central point is legit. RSS=tin pot fascists. With a tin pot fascist head who is given undue legitimacy. But the way to root them out is thru solid delivery to citizens, not Desi Liberal elite virtue signalling.
The RSS is an al male anti-constitutional cult that believes women are the property of men. I believe in Shiva-Shakti. That's why it gives me such joy to fight them. What's beautiful is that many of their “own” women are on my side.

Dumb.
EXCLUSIVE: The UK’s Royal Air Force will fly defensive missions to protect Saudi Arabia from escalating Houthi attacks, according to British officials familiar with the matter RAF Typhoon fighter jets will help defend Saudi cities and infrastructure against aerial attacks from the Iran-backed militant group, the people said. Andy Burnham has signed off on the decision Britain will also provide an Atlas A400M transport aircraft with heavy lift capability to move kit around Saudi, as well as military advisers The decision marks an extension of UK support for Saudi in the wake of Houthi attacks which have killed more than a dozen people in Riyadh. There have been multiple attacks on the kingdom in recent days

Your regular reminder that Hollywood made two movies centred around two different Grumman naval aviation products. The later one got a niche following the earlier one became a pop culture icon

PLA Spokesperson: In the early hours of October 20, the U.S. littoral combat ship USS Charleston, illegally intruded into the waters adjacent to Xianbin Jiao of China’s Nansha Qundao without approval from the Chinese government. The Navy of Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command (STC) dispatched forces to track and monitor the U.S. vessel in accordance with laws and regulations. China holds indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Qundao and its adjacent waters. The U.S. action infringes upon China’s sovereign rights and interests, jeopardizes maritime security, and is detrimental to regional peace and stability. The U.S. side should immediately cease such activities. Forces of the Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command remain on high alert at all times to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security and uphold regional peace and stability. #PLA #Navy #SouthernTheaterCommand #STC #NanshaQundao #NanShaIslands #XianbinJiao #XianbinReef #USSCharleston #ChinaMilitary #ChinaMilBugle

Lol Well played.
May the light of righteousness always dispel the shadows of evil, and may truth, courage, and goodness prevail in every heart and every society. Warm wishes to the people of India on the joyous occasion of #Dussehra. May this festive season bring peace, prosperity, harmony, and happiness to all.

"Mass mobilisation" has to be sustained and go beyond Delhi, albeit yes the capital is the CoG. This is a long battle and much worse is to come from 56-inch. But INC must deliver, and citizens are watching their behaviour and comms. Must do better.
Reporter: There are claims that Rahul Gandhi has gone on a foreign trip. KCV: “What’s wrong with that? We scaled down the protest considering public sentiments during Dussehra. From November 1, the opposition is planning the biggest protest India has ever witnessed. This will be historic.” 🔥 Modi’s nightmare is just beginning. NOVEMBER 1. THE COUNTDOWN TO REGIME CHANGE BEGINS.
