THIS country has maximum uranium reserve to make nuclear bomb but it does not have any nuclear bomb due to…, the country is… Israel, during the 12-day-long war, launched brutal attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, fearing that Iran was getting dangerously close to developing a nuclear bomb. By Victor Dasgupta Edited by Victor Dasgupta Advertisement New Delhi: Uranium is one of the critical raw materials for nuclear weapons, and today, it stands at the center of global concern among the world's major powers. The recent Iran-Israel conflict is the latest example of this. Israel, during the 12-day-long war, launched brutal attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, fearing that Iran was getting dangerously close to developing a nuclear bomb. The world today knows that whoever controls uranium holds the key to becoming a nuclear power. Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world, yet it has no nuclear power plants and no nuclear weapons. It's the same country that supplies uranium to other nations but doesn't use it to generate electricity or build weapons itself. Advertisement === Australia: World's Largest Uranium Reserve Australia holds 1.68 million tonnes of uranium. It is nearly one-third of the world's total uranium reserves. Australia neither has a single nuclear power plant nor does it possess any nuclear weapons. Australia doesn't even use this precious metal for itself. Instead, 17% of its energy exports come from uranium — meaning it sells it to other countries. Where are Australia's uranium mines? Uranium is extracted from three major sites in Australia: Olympic Dam, Honeymoon, and Beverley-Four Mile. Only Olympic Dam and Four Mile are operational, while the others are either shut down or under maintenance. In 2022, Australia produced 4,553 tonnes of uranium, accounting for 8% of the world's total uranium production. This makes it the fourth-largest uranium-producing country globally. Here's why Australia is staying away from nuclear power: Australia's anti-nuclear movement is the main reason why the country is keeping it away from nuclear power. Ordinary citizens, environmental groups, and activists have consistently opposed nuclear energy and weapons since the 1970s. In 1972, France's nuclear tests triggered protests, and later in 1976–77, Australia's own uranium mining sparked major controversy. Organizations like the Movement Against Uranium Mining and the Campaign Against Nuclear Energy led widespread opposition. Governments changed, policies shifted, but public sentiment remained firm: no to nuclear. Advertisement ===

Bullet Train Update: Japanese bullet train will not run between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, Govt issues BIG update, says...
Bullet Train Update: Japanese bullet train will not run between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, Govt issues BIG update, says… Indian Railways' first Vande Bharat train to run at a speed of 250 km/h. Earlier, it was claimed that a bullet train would run between Mumbai and Ahmedabad at a speed of 320 km/h. By Victor Dasgupta Edited by Victor Dasgupta Advertisement Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train: India's first highly ambitious Ahmedabad-Mumbai High-Speed Corridor (Bullet Train Project) will now feature the semi high-speed Vande Bharat train, developed using indigenous technology instead of the Japanese bullet train. Indian Railways' first Vande Bharat train to run at a speed of 250 km/h. Earlier, it was claimed that a bullet train would run between Mumbai and Ahmedabad at a speed of 320 km/h. Work on the Surat-Bilimora (50 km) section of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Corridor is in its final stage, according to a senior official from the Ministry of Railways stated. It is important to note that the trial run of the Vande Bharat train will begin by the end of the year. Advertisement === By 2027, the general public will be able to travel in the Vande Bharat (sitting) train. Two Vande Bharat trains with eight coaches each will operate on this route. Although the maximum speed is 280 km/h, the trains will run at 250 km/h. Why This Change: To recall, at the time when both the countries were signing the agreement for the Ahmedabad-Mumbai High-Speed Corridor project, Japan had set the cost of the bullet train at Rs 16 crore per coach. However, last year, Japan increased this cost by more than three times. At the time of supply, Japan raised the cost of a bullet train coach to Rs 50 crore. As a result, a 16-coach bullet train would now cost Rs 800 crore. Advertisement ===

Operation Sindoor: IAF Rafale completely destroyed PAF Bases, unleashed 10 SCALP-EG on Pakistan, BrahMos-A missiles also helped to… BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missiles delivered devastating strikes with their Mach 2.8–3.0 speed and extended range of 450–800 km. By Victor Dasgupta Edited by Victor Dasgupta Advertisement This part of France's Rafale fighter jet is the most expensive because…, India to make… New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted a significant operation targeting Pakistan Air Force (PAF) bases during the recent India-Pakistan conflict, Air Forces Monthly, a leading military aviation magazine reported in its latest issue. The magazine is published by Key Publishing Ltd in Stamford, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. In its latest edition, the magazine details how IAF Rafale jets fired 10 SCALP-EG cruise missiles as part of Operation Sindoor. The operation saw a devastating combination of SCALP-EG and BrahMos-A missiles working in tandem to strike some of the PAF's most secure air bases, dealing a severe blow to Pakistan's air defense capabilities. Advertisement === Operation Sindoor was a retaliatory campaign launched in response to a Pakistan-backed terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, which killed 26 civilians. The IAF's Rafale jets, operating from bases such as Ambala and Hasimara, launched 10 SCALP-EG (Système de Croisière Autonome à Longue Portée, also known as Storm Shadow) cruise missiles targeting critical PAF infrastructure, including command centers, hardened aircraft shelters, and runways, according to the Air Forces Monthly report, corroborated by sources from the Indian Defence Research Wing ( Advertisement === Here are some of the key details: Of the 10 SCALP-EG missiles fired, nine scored direct hits during Operation Sindoor One missile reportedly malfunctioned due to an engine failure, a rare occurrence for the MBDA-developed missile known for its reliability. BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missiles, launched by modified Su-30MKI fighters, faced no such issues BrahMos-A supersonic cruise missiles delivered devastating strikes with their Mach 2.8–3.0 speed and extended range of 450–800 km. The SCALP-EG's low-observable design allowed it to bypass Pakistan's Chinese-supplied HQ-9 and HQ-16 air defense systems Its inertial navigation system (INS), combined with GPS and terrain-referencing navigation (TERCOM), ensured precise targeting of high-value assets, such as a command post and two hangars housing F-16 fighters at Sargodha airbase. Satellite imagery from Indian firm KawaSpace and Maxar Technologies confirmed significant damage, including a direct hit on a hangar at Bholari airbase, which housed a Saab 2000 Erieye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft and at least three F-16A/B Block-15 fighters. The Air Forces Monthly report underscores the strategic significance of the recent strikes that severely damaged key Pakistan Air Force (PAF) bases, including Nur Khan (Rawalpindi), Rafiqui (Shorkot), Murid (Chakwal), Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, Chunian (Kasur), Jacobabad, Sargodha, and Skardu. Additionally, radar installations at Pasrur and Sialkot were also hit. As part of a larger Indian Air Force (IAF) offensive, the operation successfully targeted 11 out of 13 major PAF airbases. Notably, the BrahMos-A missile made its combat debut, living up to its reputation as a nearly untraceable weapon thanks to its low-altitude flight path and supersonic speed.
