This was a big one. Both in the literal & monetary sense (satellite worth around $1.5 billion). Super glad it went well! The GSLV delivered when it mattered! Ironic that a cryogenic engine that was developed because of US technology-denial is now launching a joint satellite!

The significance of .300BLK for suppressed, short-barreled weapons cannot be overstated. A huge congratulations to SSS Defence & Vivek Krishnan for cracking this segment! I had hoped to see the NSG replace their SG 553 SBs with something like this.🤞

What is with this IRBM-ICBM nonsense regarding the Agni-V? We have NEVER officially claimed the Agni-V as an ICBM, since the first test in 2012 till today. Comments in passing/non-official releases notwithstanding. There's a reason we always stated the range as <5,500 km. It's
