After Operation Sindoor, IAF Ramps Up Missile Arsenal With Over 200-km Range To Dominate Skies Fresh from the stunning success of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force is now set to supercharge its arsenal with long-range precision weapons capable of hitting targets over 200 km away. In Sindoor, IAF jets used BrahMos, SCALP, Rampage, and Crystal Maze missiles to smash enemy airbases from 250-450 km, staying safely beyond Chinese HQ-9 air defences. Now, DRDO is developing extended-range Astra missiles, while the IAF eyes Russia's deadly R-37 for unrivalled reach. Project Kusha long-range air defence is being fast-tracked, alongside plans for two more S-400 squadrons, systems that already forced Pakistani jets deep into their own skies. With Rafales, fifth-gen fighters, and a new missile doctrine, India is preparing to dominate future wars in the air, ensuring the next Sindoor will be even more decisive. 70 views | 2 hours ago

Vote theft through scientific means is dangerous to democracy in all States: Congress MP
'Vote theft' through scientific means by the Bharatiya Janata Party is dangerous to democracy in all States, said Virudhunagar MP B. Manickam Tagore. Addressing reporters here on Thursday, Mr. Tagore said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, has exposed how one lakh votes were added in Bengaluru Central Lok Sabha constituency before the 2024 Parliamentary election. 'This had led to the BJP winning the seat with a small margin of 30,000 votes,' he said. The BJP had claimed that it would win 400 seats in the Lok Sabha election, but ended up winning only 239 seats. Similar, 'vote theft' had been done in 48 other constituencies too, he said. Hence, the BJP Government should not be allowed to continue in power in the Centre, he said. When the opposition parties pointed to this irregularity and sought to discuss the issue, their demand was rejected in the Parliament. Three hundred MPs of the opposition parties marched towards the Election Commission office in Delhi. However, the Election Commission did not meet them to clarify, he said. The Congress MP said that it was anti-democratic exercise to conduct Assembly election in Bihar after deleting 18% of the votes of the opposition parties by way of Special Intensive Revision of voters list. In this backdrop, Mr. Rahul Gandhi has planned to take out 'Voters' Right' yatra in Bihar for 17 days from August 17. 'While the BJP partyman gets five votes in the election, it is only one for the common man. For the opposition parties, even that one vote is denied,' he said. Stating that such scientific way of stealing votes was dangerous in other States where BJP was in power, he said the Election Commission was hand in glove with the BJP in such an irregularity.
