Sea skimming is easy. I want to see its terrain hugging capability. Hope we are working on TERCOM in Nirbhay.

Sankalan tell me one thing. When they test missile with range of 2000, 4000, 8000 km how do they test if they test missiles with this range then missile would go out of India. How do they do it

Fed up of seeing Nirbhay testing since ageing.. don’t think it will be ever inducted

pelu1 year ago

That's good, but it's quite basic capability, as almost no obstruction is present in sea skimming flying... Terrain hugging flying is real capability test coz it's full of obstructions, change of terrain geography, complex waypoint navigation etc. u need AESA radar seeker for it

India has successfully tested the Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile off the coast of Odisha, adding a formidable new capability to its defence arsenal. 🇮🇳🚀 Capable of striking targets over 1,500 km away while flying just a few metres above the ground, the missile is designed to evade radar detection and deliver precision strikes deep into enemy territory. Developed under DRDO’s Nirbhay programme, this achievement comes after years of technological challenges, perseverance, and indigenous innovation. It also places India among a select group of nations with indigenous subsonic cruise missile capability. Watch this report. ⬇️ #12YearsOfSurakshitBharat

🇺🇸🚀The Tomahawk cruise missile remains one of the most powerful weapons in the US arsenal. With a range of over 1,600 km, pinpoint accuracy through GPS guidance, sea- and land-launch capability, and the ability to fly low to avoid radar — it has changed modern warfare. Is the Tomahawk really the most powerful cruise missile in the US arsenal? And when it comes to Russia or China, do they have anything like it or have they still not been able to match this capability? Would you like me to expand this into a slightly longer post with more suspense and impact, like breaking news style?

Even in modern maritime operations supported by satellites, radar, and artificial intelligence, a small human error can lead to major accidents. This berthing maneuver turned into a disaster within seconds. Technology helps — but the risk at sea is always real.

Pakistan’s reported Fatah-4 missile test has triggered massive debate across Indian social media, with claims that Delhi, Jammu, Amritsar, and several major cities fall within its 750 KM range. But modern warfare is not decided by range alone. The real question is: can the missile actually survive India’s layered air defence network? The Fatah-4 is believed to be a low-flying cruise missile capable of terrain-hugging flight designed to avoid radar detection. However, India’s defence architecture is specifically built to track and intercept exactly these kinds of threats. This is why strategic experts argue that simply drawing a 750 KM circle on a map does not reflect real battlefield reality. In modern warfare, offensive capability matters but defensive architecture matters just as much. #Pakistan #missiles #MissileStrike #MissileLaunch #Fatah4 #indianarmy

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte PRAISES President Trump for decisive action in Iran, calling it “CRUCIAL” for the entire world if reports that Iran can strike as far as Diego Garcia are confirmed. RUTTE: “We are looking into that. But if this would be true, it is the more evidence what the president is doing here, taking out the ballistic missile capability, taking out the nuclear capability from Iran, is crucial.” “And exactly as the ambassador just said, Ambassador Waltz, we have seen with North Korea if we negotiate for too long, you might pass the moment when you can still get things done and North Korea now has the nuclear capability.” “If Iran would have the nuclear capability including together with missile capability, it would be a direct threat to Israel and to the region and to Europe and to the stability in the world.” “So the president doing this is crucial.” “And I have seen the polling. But I really hope the American people will be with him because he is doing this to make the whole world safer.”

US Military capability: The F-22 Raptor is the reason most countries don’t even try to challenge U.S. air dominance. It can fly supersonic without afterburners. That means it can cruise faster than the speed of sound without lighting giant fireballs behind the engines like most jets. Less heat. Less visibility. Much harder to detect. Add stealth shaping, internal weapons bays, and radar that can see enemy aircraft long before they even know it’s there. Pilots call it the advantage of first look, first shot, first kill. Top speed is over Mach 2. It can fight above 60,000 feet and maneuver using thrust-vectoring engines that let it turn in ways most fighters simply can’t. There’s a reason the United States never exported the F-22. Some advantages you keep to yourself.

I wanted to see if Zero could help me go beyond simple prompts. so instead of asking for text, I asked it to find the best available image generation capability and create a cinematic cyberpunk poster. within seconds, it identified the right capability and kicked off the workflow. what I like most is that I don't have to remember which tool is best for each task. I can just describe what I want, and Zero helps me discover the right capability before getting to work. that makes experimenting with AI a lot faster — and a lot more fun. excited to see what else I can build with this. #Zero #Codex #AI #GenerativeAI #CreativeTools #Ad

An idea that I can't stop thinking about: The Capability Gap Alabama coach Nick Saban refers to the Capability Gap in this clip from a discussion with Holly Rowe: “We oftentimes talk about what someone’s potential is, but I think to put it in better terms...the Capability Gap is what you’re capable of relative to what you’re doing...if you understand the truth about that, you can actually take information that can help you close that gap.” The Capability Gap is a simple idea with powerful implications for every area of your life. It requires understanding two things: 1. Your full capability 2. Your current delivery In my experience, most people underestimate their full capability and overestimate their current delivery. In other words, they think their Capability Gap is small, when in reality, it’s much larger than they realize. That’s why having mentors, coaches, friends, and family who help you see the truth about your full capability and keep you honest about your current delivery is everything. This isn’t about sports. This is about life: Do you have people who help you think bigger about what you’re capable of? Do you have people who tell you when your current delivery isn’t good enough? We all need those people. The ones who push us to get uncomfortable, to stretch our thinking, and to raise our standards. We need people who help us become better partners, parents, friends, colleagues, and leaders. Find the people who tell you two truths: 1. What you’re truly capable of 2. What you’re currently delivering on Identify your Capability Gap and then work relentlessly to close it! If this resonated or taught you something, share it with others and follow Sahil Bloom for more.

#WATCH | J&K: A soldier of the Indian Army says, "The radar you can see right behind me is an early warning radar of the air defence system, and this early warning radar is the most modern radar of today. This radar has long-range capability, which means that it has the ability to search and detect the enemy's target from a long range. Due to its long range, it searched and detected all the enemy targets, be it a drone, a UAV or an aircraft, very well. It passed the data of the target to the fire controller, and the weapon system attached to the fire control radar opened an effective fire on that particular target, due to which it was destroyed in the air itself. We detected their targets through those radars and destroyed them in the air through our weapon system before they could reach their destination. Its success rate has been 100%, and it can be 101%, but it cannot be less than that. There is no doubt that if the enemy country dares to do something like this in the future, it will have to pay a lot more than this. Our army jammed their (Pakistan) air defence system, and they could not do anything, and due to this, they suffered heavy losses..."

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran claims it fired a Qader cruise missile at a U.S. carrier group. The U.S. hasn’t confirmed it. Here’s what matters. The Qader is built to hit ships. It launches from land, flies just meters above the sea, and locks onto moving targets in the final seconds. Range: 120–300 km. Warhead: 200 kg high explosive. Hard to detect. Hard to track late. But here’s the reality. The USS Abraham Lincoln isn’t alone. It’s surrounded by layers of radar, jets, and missile defenses. One missile isn’t enough. To actually break through, you need multiple launches at once to overwhelm defenses. So the threat is real. The missile is real. But a single strike won’t take down a U.S. carrier.

🚨 BREAKING: WORLD’S LARGEST WARSHIP ENTERS THE RED SEA The USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest aircraft carrier ever built, has now crossed the Suez Canal and entered the Red Sea, dramatically expanding the U.S. naval presence as the conflict with Iran intensifies. The Ford carrier strike group — escorted by guided-missile warships including the USS Bainbridge — is moving closer to the operational theatre in the Middle East. This deployment means the United States now has multiple carrier strike groups positioned around Iran, with the USS Abraham Lincoln already operating in nearby waters. Each U.S. carrier strike group brings enormous firepower, including: • dozens of strike fighters • cruise-missile destroyers • missile defense systems • submarines and surveillance aircraft With the arrival of the $13 billion Ford-class supercarrier, American airpower can now launch operations across the Red Sea, Arabian Peninsula, and approaches to the Persian Gulf within hours. Strategically, this places the United States in position to maintain continuous air operations and rapid strike capability across the entire region. The message from Washington appears unmistakable: The military buildup is accelerating — not slowing down.
