120 kg bomb with 100 km range..., IAF to get powerful new weapon; bad news for Pakistan and China due to...
120 kg bomb with 100 km range..., IAF to get powerful new weapon; bad news for Pakistan and China due to... The Indian Air Force is planning to make its fighter jets even more powerful. Very soon, it may add a new home-made smart weapon called the Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW) to its aircraft fleet. This includes jets like the Sukhoi-30 MKI. According to defence sources, this new weapon is a type of glide bomb that is guided by satellite. It can hit targets up to 100 kilometers away with very high accuracy. That means it can strike the exact location it's aimed at even from a long distance. The Defence Ministry will soon discuss adding this weapon to the Air Force. If approved, this will give India a strong advantage in air attacks. Experts believe that such modern weapons will make India's defence much stronger. This move is likely to worry neighbouring countries like Pakistan and China. What is SAAW? The SAAW (Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon) has been designed and developed by DRDO's research center based in Hyderabad. It is a modern, high-precision bomb that weighs about 120 kilograms. This weapon is considered world-class and is part of India's effort to build advanced defence systems at home. SAAW is made to destroy important parts of enemy airbases. It can easily target and damage radars, bunkers, taxi tracks, and even runways. In simple words, it can paralyze an enemy airbase without sending fighter planes deep into enemy land. This is a stand-off weapon, meaning it can be launched from a distance and still hit its target accurately just like the weapons used in India's Balakot airstrike in 2019. DRDO has also offered this weapon to the Indian Armed Forces under an emergency purchase plan, so that it can be delivered quickly and be ready for use in future missions if needed. Indian fighter jets to become more powerful with new smart weapons The Indian Air Force is now focusing on long-range stand-off weapon systems, which include special types of missiles and bombs. After the success of Operation Sindoor, where Indian forces hit terrorist and military targets in Pakistan, the demand for such advanced weapons has increased. One of the key projects helping in this area is the Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW), developed by DRDO. It is one of their most successful weapons and will play a big role in strengthening India's military power.

PM Modi takes part in G7 Summit's outreach session on energy security
Kananaskis: Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the outreach session on energy security at the 51st G7 Summit here on Tuesday. During his address, PM Modi highlighted the need to ensure energy security for all the people through a sustainable and green pathway and elaborated upon India's global initiatives such as International Solar Alliance (a treaty-based international organisation focused on solar energy), Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) (it is a global partnership focused on enhancing the resilience of infrastructure systems to climate and disaster risks, with strong support from national governments), and the Global Biofuels Alliance, towards this objective, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on social media platform X. Prime Minister Modi also said: "AI itself is an energy-intensive technology. If there is any way to sustainably fulfill the energy requirements of a technology-driven society, it is through renewable energy . Ensuring affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy is India's priority." India believes that any technology is valuable only if its benefits reach every person and no country in the Global South should be left behind, he added. India has democratised technology and empowered the economy as well as common people through Digital Public Infrastructure while meaningful and qualitative data is the guarantee of an inclusive, capable, and responsible AI, PM Modi added. "We have to work on global governance, to address concerns related to AI and promote innovation. In the era of AI, close collaboration between critical minerals and technology is essential. We have to make their supply chains safe and resilient." "Deep fake is a cause of great concern. Therefore, water-marking or clear declaration should be made on Al-generated content," the Prime Minister noted. "In the last century, we saw competition for energy. In this century, we will have to cooperate for technology. Moving forward on the fundamental principles of availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, India has chosen the path of inclusive development." "Despite being the world's fastest-growing major economy, India is a country that fulfilled the Paris Commitments ahead of time. We are rapidly moving towards the goal of Net Zero by 2070. Currently, renewable energy accounts for around 50 per cent of our total installed capacity." "Unfortunately, the Global South countries suffer the most from uncertainty and conflicts. They are the first to be hit by crises related to food, fuel, fertiliser, and finance. India considers it its responsibility to bring the priorities and concerns of the Global South to the world stage," PM Modi said. "There should be no place for double standards on terrorism. The terrorist attack that happened on April 22 was not only an attack on Pahalgam, but also on the soul, identity, and dignity of every Indian. It was an attack on the entire humanity. Terrorism is an enemy of humanity. It is against all countries that uphold democratic values. For global peace and prosperity, our thought and policy must be clear -- if any country supports terrorism, it will have to pay the price for it. On one hand, we are quick to impose all kinds of sanctions based on our own preferences," the Prime Minister added. Calling for attention to the concerns and priorities of the Global South, the Prime Minister noted that India took it as its responsibility to bring the voice of the Global South to the world stage, MEA Spokesperson Jaiswal said on X. "The Prime Minister reiterated India's stand against terrorism and thanked the world leaders at the G7 summit for condemning the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack. He urged them to galvanise global action against terrorism and underlined the need to take strict action against those who promote and support terrorism," he added on X. "The Prime Minister also highlighted India's experience in democratising use of technology and its human-centric approach in deploying it. He (PM Modi) called for addressing global governance issues to tackle concerns of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and to promote innovation in the field," he noted on X. --IANS int/khz

Gold price prediction today 24 karat India: Where is gold rate headed amidst Iran-Israel tensions? Here's the outlook
24 Karat gold price could remain subdued in the near term amid lack of fresh demand cues in global markets. (AI image) Gold price prediction today: Gold rates have been in focus for the last few days due to increased safe haven demand amidst the escalating Iran-Israel conflict. All eyes this week will be on the US Federal Reserve's commentary on rate cut possibility. Gold prices are expected to remain volatile in the near future. Maneesh Sharma, AVP - Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers shares his views and recommendations: Gold prices ended the last week with gains amid escalating Middle-East tensions & rising bets of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut. Investors ignored the upbeat US economic data released last week as geopolitical tensions remained the major focus of the current week. In other news, due to a combination of central bank gold buying & surging price of gold, the yellow metal overtook the euro as the world's number two reserve asset as gold made up 19.6 percent of global reserves, with the Euro accounting for 15.9 percent. The survey carried out by World Gold Council expected 95% of respondents believing that global central bank gold reserves to increase over the next 12 months as a record 43% of respondents also believe that their own gold reserves will also increase over the same period and none anticipate a decline in gold holdings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Godrej Majesty | Luxurious 3 & 4 BHK Homes at ₹2.39 Cr* Godrej Majesty Learn More Undo In China, the recent US-China trade truce still faced challenges as military-use rare earth exports were unresolved. This remained after China refused to approve exports of specific rare earth metals used in US weapon systems, maintaining a chokepoint in the global supply chain. Focus this week to remain on any escalation in the middle east crisis, along with global central banks including US monetary policy meetings. The Bank of Japan had foregone another interest rate hike this year due to uncertainty over US tariff policy. However, all eyes remain on the June 18 Fed meeting, where the dot plot and Powell's tone may define gold's path for the rest of 2025. US Policymakers are expected to monitor inflation through the coming months till September before considering any moves. Overall Markets continue to price in two rate cuts later this year, likely in the second half. On the other hand, traders may also closely monitor further rise in Oil prices which may keep Indian rupee under pressure keeping domestic prices elevated in near sessions. For Gold, a breach of all time high levels in spot markets cannot be completely ruled out in the coming week while volatility & profit booking moves could also persist at higher levels. On the lower side a resistance turned support around $ 3360 per oz remains critical on a weekly basis, a sustainable breach below which only prices could drift lower towards $ 3280-3250 levels in Spot. Gold Price Weekly View: Volatile (1 – 2 Weeks) Broad trading range on MCX futures (Aug CMP Rs 99,385) remains around Rs 97,200 - 1,02,500 per 10 gm Meanwhile Silver is expected to trade with a positive bias as it may test Rs 1,10,000 - 1,13,000 per Kg on MCX (Aug) futures contract on the higher side in 1 - 2 weeks perspective. Gold rate in India has seen a notable decrease across all purities and quantities in the last few days as higher prices have continued to dampen physical demand in India especially for jewellery. 24 Karat gold price could remain subdued in the near term amid lack of fresh demand cues in global markets.
