After facing defeat in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan seeks deadly weapon from…, capable of…
ALP-300G: After facing defeat against India during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan is busy acquiring more weaponry from other countries. The Pakistani army was forced to retreat in front of Indian missiles, drones, and state-of-the-art defence. The biggest reason for Pakistan's defeat was its blind trust in China. Now, to correct the mistakes, Islamabad is sidelining the Dragon and acquiring weapons from Turkey. Why is Pakistan buying weapons from Turkey?
The Pak army is preparing to buy a deadly radar system, the ALP-300G from Turkey. It is capable of identifying areal threats from a long distance. As per several reports, during the Indo-Pak conflict between 8 and 10 May, Pakistan's Chinese defence system HQ-9 was completely failed, allowing Indian suicide drones and missiles to infiltrate and destroy targets.
The Pakistan Air Force is in talks with Turkish defence company ASELSAN to buy ALP-300G radar system which can be deployed in just 30 minutes. What is ALP-300G System?
The ALP-300G is a long-range air defence system that uses AESA and digital beamforming technology. It is capable of tracking ballistic, anti-radiation missiles and even stealth aircraft. With the help of its multi-channel beam structure. The system can also monitor multiple targets simultaneously.
This system is easily deployable and transportable via a standard 10-ton truck. Furthermore, it's fully interoperable with NATO's air command and control systems, maintaining functionality even in adverse weather conditions. How Cautious Should India Be?
Pak's decision to import this lethal technology from Turkey is a signal for India that next time, Pakistan will come with better preparation. In such a situation, India also needs to strengthen its military strategy so that it always remains one step ahead on every front.

Satellite for ₹33,000, data plan at ₹3000: Starlink's India plan

Elon Musk's satellite internet service Starlink is preparing to commence operations in India within the next two months after receiving its license last week, sources said. The company has finalised its pricing structure for the Indian market, setting the cost of the required satellite dish device at approximately ₹33,000. The monthly unlimited data plan is expected to be priced at ₹3,000. As part of its launch strategy, Starlink plans to offer a complimentary one-month trial period with each device purchase, allowing customers to test the service before committing to regular monthly payments. The satellite internet service is expected to significantly impact connectivity in India's remote and underserved areas, where traditional broadband infrastructure has been challenging to establish. Starlink's low Earth orbit satellite constellation promises to deliver high-speed internet access to locations previously unreachable by conventional terrestrial networks.

In Bangladesh, the Starlink device is priced at ₹33,000, while Bhutan maintains the same ₹33,000 price point for the equipment. Industry experts suggest that Starlink's entry into the Indian market could intensify competition in the country's telecommunications sector and provide crucial connectivity solutions for rural areas, educational institutions, and businesses in remote locations. The company's imminent launch comes as India continues to push for digital inclusion and improved internet connectivity across its vast geographical expanse, particularly in areas where traditional internet service providers have struggled to establish reliable networks.

Assam CM slams Rahul Gandhi for ‘betraying' nation; praises Owaisi, Tharoor

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday praised several opposition leaders for defending India's stance on international platforms following the country's retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, while launching a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of undermining national interests. Speaking during a discussion in the Assam Assembly about the successful 'Operation Sindoor', CM Sarma acknowledged the efforts of opposition figures like Shashi Tharoor, Asaduddin Owaisi and Supriya Sule, commending them for standing up for India on foreign soil. 'I am thankful to Congress and other opposition leaders, especially Shashi Tharoor, who have strongly defended India's position abroad. Leaders like Asaduddin Owaisi and Supriya Sule also upheld the nation's honour outside the country,' CM Sarma said. However, the Chief Minister drew a sharp contrast with Rahul Gandhi, accusing the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha of betraying both the nation and the armed forces. 'Rahul Gandhi did not stand with the country. He betrayed the nation. He betrayed our armed forces,' the Assam CM alleged, criticising Rahul Gandhi for raising questions about India's military losses during the conflict. CM Sarma claimed that while Gandhi repeatedly sought details on India's casualties during the operation, he showed no concern about the damage inflicted on Pakistan. 'There's a difference between questioning losses after a military operation and doing so while it's ongoing. Rahul Gandhi chose the latter — and never once asked what losses Pakistan suffered,' the Chief Minister asserted. Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, and the resolution in the Assembly marked a unified acknowledgment of the Indian armed forces' role in the counter-offensive. Earlier on Monday, CM Sarma asserted that the government would speed up the process of deporting illegal immigrants from the state to safeguard the indigenous community. While speaking at the Assembly, CM Sarma said: "The state government is set to use the 1950 law to expel the illegal immigrants here. The apex court of the country has also given a nod regarding this. The administrative machinery will work accordingly to make Assam free from illegal immigrants.' The Chief Minister also pressed for safeguarding the interests of Assamese people. He said, 'I am an Assamese first and a Chief Minister later.' The Assam government has decided to invoke a little-known law from 1950 -- the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Order -- to fast-track the deportation of undocumented immigrants, bypassing the usual judicial process.
