The Indian Army has released a 50-page technology roadmap to share its future drone and loitering munition needs with the domestic defense industry and researchers. The document outlines the demand for 30 different types of drones across five key categories: - surveillance, -

THREAD🧵 India's Nuclear energy achievement The 500 MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. India just achieved something monumental in global nuclear energy. → 72 years: Time since Homi Bhabha conceived the plan → 22 years: Time to

In the 1950s, Dr. Homi Bhabha recognized a geographical reality: India holds barely 1-2% of global uranium, but roughly 25% of the world's thorium reserves. To ensure energy independence, he designed a highly ambitious, three-stage nuclear programme. 2/7

The 3 Stages: 1️⃣ Use limited uranium in standard reactors to generate power & extract plutonium. 2️⃣ Use that plutonium in "Fast Breeder" reactors to create more fuel and convert our Thorium into usable Uranium-233. 3️⃣ Run future reactors entirely on Thorium. 3/7

We formally entered Stage 2. The PFBR is a "breeder" reactor, meaning it is designed to actually produce more fissile fuel than it consumes. Attaining "criticality" means it has successfully achieved a continuous, self-sustaining fission chain reaction. 4/7

This was an incredibly difficult path. → Construction took 22 years. → The budget escalated from ₹3,492 crore to a final cost of ₹7,700 crore. Why the delay? Because the engineering is immensely complex. In fact, the USA, UK, and Germany all tried to build commercial

With this milestone, India becomes only the 2nd country in the world, after Russia, to operate a commercial-scale fast breeder reactor. It was built entirely under the radar by BHAVINI, involving 200+ Indian companies and MSMEs. Zero foreign designs. 6/7

By unlocking the pathway to Stage 3, India is learning to harness its massive Thorium reserves. Once fully operationalized, those reserves can power the entire country for over 400 years. As the reactor gears up for full 500 MW commercial power generation, it secures India's

DRDO Chairman Samir V Kamat has stated that India must shorten its 10-15 year development cycle for critical defense materials to prevent bottlenecks in fielding new systems. Noting China's near-monopoly on rare earth supplies and India's heavy reliance on foreign aerospace

The US and Iran have agreed to a two-week bilateral ceasefire following diplomatic intervention by Pakistan. The cessation of hostilities is contingent upon the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Formal negotiations are scheduled for April 10 in Islamabad, with both states

THREAD 🧵 US-Iran ceasefire: everything you need to know The global economy has temporarily stepped back from the brink following a sudden, two-week conditional ceasefire agreed upon by the U.S., Israel, and Iran on April 7-8, 2026. Here is the breakdown of the truce, the

ISRO has launched Mission MITRA (Mapping of Interoperable Traits and Response Assessment) in Leh, Ladakh, to simulate the extreme conditions of space travel. Located at an altitude of 3,500 meters, the site exposes Gaganyan crew to natural hypoxia, severe cold, and deep

Pakistan’s peace management pattern- - Took money from Jordan in 70-71, sent army and killed thousands of Palestinians. The Black September. Approx 25,000 Palestinians killed by Pak army. All for payouts. - Helped US fight Russians in Afghanistan in 80s. Used the money to

THREAD🧵 Cost of a Passage through Strait of Hormuz The Strait of Hormuz has fundamentally changed. As of April 2026, it is no longer an open international waterway governed by UNCLOS. It has become a "managed franchise" under IRGC control, where passage is a commodity paid for

The buildup started in late 2025. Following the collapse of nuclear talks with the US and the return of "maximum pressure" sanctions, Iran faced hyperinflation. Tensions hit a breaking point on Feb 28, 2026, when the US launch of "Operation Epic Fury." 2/11

The joint U.S.-Israeli campaign involved 900+ strikes in 12 hours, resulting in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In response, the IRGC moved to shut down the Strait, targeting tankers and causing commercial traffic to plummet by 95% overnight. 3/11

High-stakes evasion has become the norm. "Zombie tankers" have been documented using the identities of scrapped vessels to slip through. Others are hugging Omani territorial waters to bypass the IRGC’s "Northern Corridor" near Larak Island. 8/11

This is a legal nightmare. Article 26 of UNCLOS prohibits levying charges for passage alone. But since Iran hasn't ratified the convention and maintains physical control, the "transit passage" regime is effectively dead in the water for now. 9/11
