Rafale-M faces a compatibility issue with INS Vikrant's lifts, which are reportedly 10m wide compared to the aircraft’s 10.9m wingspan.
India requested modifications to Rafale Ms due from 2029, including removing wingtip hardpoints to reduce their width. However, this could also reduce their air-to-air missile carrying capacity.

If PN comes up with its 1,000km range variant then.... Vikrant won't even find a place, in harbours, to hide
Imagine Ex-Indian Ambassador to Turkey is pumping above his weight on a AI video
Literally outlandish
Laughing about a serious issue shows his shallowness.
Why include India in his dismissive comment?
India has not criticised Turkey over the Mecca Pact.
Our concerns are about Turkey- Pakistan ties and its implications for India’s security.
A more professionally qualified FM would have shown greater diplomatic finesse.
Just bring 1 picture of a wreckage of Pakistan Air Force aircraft 🤡
Yes, 2 hangers were hit, 2 airstrips were hit bit absurd claims like 13 aircraft shaat daan Saar would only make IAF look more fatuous. Sad to see world's 3rd largest air force hiring PR handles to support their bollywood stories.
Cost of Pakistani war losses during #OpSindoor.
Now that I may have some free time, it's time to finish this. Just found it again after completely forgetting about it.
📍 Dragon Effect | Farewell DENIED
Humiliation for IAF Chief! After the mounting losses during Operation Sindoor under the leadership of AP Singh, outgoing IAF Chief, retiring on Oct 31 ... His farewell (Golfing out) has been cancelled mysteriously.
Also the Housing Ministry's Land & Development Office sealed the Air Force Sports Complex near the PM's residence till further orders.
Same energy as Tipu ICBM 🫠🇵🇰

نقلًا عن صحيفة رويترز، السعودية تمتلك ترسانة صاروخية ضخمة، وتعمل على تصنيع الصواريخ محليًا، ومن ضمنها صاروخ فرط صوتي يُسمّى «3TF رياح الشط»، عابر للقارات، بمدى يصل إلى 18,000 كيلومتر. وتقول الصحيفة إن السعودية لو فكّرت باستخدامه، لمسحت خصومها من الخارطة، كابوس إيران
4km missing patch at Ring Road of Peshawar has been constructed in a short period of time as the road connects with M1 motorway (strategically important motorway for Pakistan's National Security, trade and for inter-city travel).
Intra-city travel has been enhanced and appreciated by the locals as well. Local and international firms will also be facilitated in terms of connectivity and trade as well as in terms of national security, we have seen PAF assets landings on motorways in terms of enhancing operational capabilities.
Pakistan Air Force and Bahraini Air Force official at King Khalid Air Base of Saudia's southern air command. 🇵🇰🇸🇦🇧🇭⚡
Pakistani civil and military official have already confirmed that Pakistan is providing technical support to Saudi military and Saudi military is using that technical support against the Houthis amid ongoing operation, as well as the narration goes it has also become confirmed that apart from Pakistan and Turkey other regional allied countries of Saudi Arabia have also deployd their personal and potentially some of their equipment close to the southern border of Saudi Arabia.
It was cleared from the day one btw ‼️
India will seek to deliver outsource-based drones to Afghan Taliban, avoiding any trail leading back to Indian industrial hub (good strategy tbh)
China's private firms do sale drone & mechanical components as well as quadcopters to multiple buyers around the world and India grabbed the opportunity.
Diplomatic maneuvering alongside the preemptive strikes like PAF did last time is a way ahead.
HOW INDIA BUYS CHINESE DRONE PARTS AND SENDS THEM TO THE AFGHAN TALIBAN
The Afghan Taliban claims they "indigenously build" military strike drones. New Delhi claims zero connection.
Both claims are completely shattered today.
The Afghan Taliban didn't build a single component of these suicide and strike drones. They are flying foreign-assembled kits and we just tracked the entire supply line back through Indian corporate distributors.
Physical teardown of the downed tactical drone in Zebak confirms the engine: Chinese DLE-35RA (35cc, 4.1 HP).
The procurement trail?
Traced directly to its authorized Indian commercial distributor: Shahputra Trading Pvt. Ltd. (RC Dhamaka, Bangalore, CIN: U25207KA1999PTC025099), openly sold in stock for ₹35,403.81 under DGFT legal exemptions.
Plausible deniability is officially dead.
IT’S NOT JUST ENGINES: THE ENTIRE FLIGHT SYSTEM IS BOUGHT OFF-THE-SHELF
Think the engine was a coincidence? Look at the flight control actuators recovered from the exact same downed wreckage.
The control surfaces steering these Afghan Taliban drones use distinct red-anodized CNC aluminum digital servos.
Forensic teardown: 100% identical match to Chinese OEM KST Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (Guangdong) featuring titanium gear trains and 25T splines.
Where are they sourced? Openly listed, stocked, and sold across India by major commercial distributors like Robu. in (Macfos Ltd, Pune, BSE: 543787) for ₹6,509 a pop.
Cleared under Indian customs code ITC(HS) 8501.10 in massive bulk shipments with zero defense oversight. The Taliban isn't inventing tech—they are simply assembling off-the-shelf kits imported straight through Indian distributors.
THE HYPOCRISY: INDIA’S DGFT BACKDOOR
When Indian defense companies tried sneaking Chinese parts into the Indian Army, intelligence audits caught them forcing the Ministry of Defence to scrap over ₹230 Crore in military drone tenders and ban Chinese parts for defense.
Yet at the exact same time, the Indian government left a massive backdoor wide open for civilian imports.
Under DGFT Notification No. 54/2015-20, India banned foreign complete drones, but inserted
CLAUSE 2: "Import of drone components shall be 'Free'."
While military tenders faced scrutiny, commercial Indian importers were given a green light to flood their warehouses with tens of millions of dollars in untracked Chinese propulsion, servos, and telemetry.
That massive, unmonitored commercial stockpile became the exact reservoir feeding the cross-border pipeline.
THE CONDUIT UNMASKED: HOW PARTS MOVE FROM INDIA TO TALIBAN WORKSHOPS
5-phase pipeline moving dual-use hardware into Taliban hands:
1. Chinese Factories: OEM suppliers in Shenzhen/Dongguan ship dual-use hardware labeled as civilian hobby parts.
2. Indian Clearance: Consignments enter India via Mumbai (Nhava Sheva/JNPT) and air hubs completely unhindered under the DGFT Clause 2 exemption.
3. Indian Warehouses: Centralized in commercial distribution hubs across Bengaluru, Pune, and New Delhi.
4. Cross-Border Divergence: The components are re-routed to Afghanistan via two state-backed corridors:
• ROUTE A (Maritime): Mumbai/Kandla ➔ Iran's Chabahar Port ➔ Zaranj/Nimroz border ➔ Kabul.
• ROUTE B (Air Cargo): Direct bilateral air-freight flights straight into Kabul.
5. Combat Deployment: Fabricated into suicide airframes at Kabul Polytechnic University & NDC workshops ➔ dispatched to the 219th Division at Faizabad ➔ flown against Pakistan.
THE PROXY GAME IS EXPOSED
The entire setup was engineered for cowardice and zero accountability:
The Afghan Taliban deploys strike drones across the Durand Line to attack Pakistan plus arm the TTP and BLA.
When shot down, the debris only shows Chinese commercial brands ("DLE", "KST").
Kabul pretends their engineers built it from scratch.
And the Indian clearing houses and transit conduits stay invisible.
FC's initiative of launching these Schools in Tirah valley are commendable but such initiatives from the local bodies would be more impactful.
However, may this proceed well and locals get facilitated from this.
Frontier Corps Tirah is providing free educational facilities in Upper Bara, taking an important step towards promoting education in the region.
Education is essential for the future of students in Terrorism Struck Areas. Such initiatives can help them get a better education and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.
