For you knowledge Tejas: ~40 built; project start 1983 → first delivery Jan 2015 → 32 years to first operational delivery; 2 recorded crashes → ≈5.0% crash rate. • JF-17: >150 built; project start 1999 → first deliveries Mar 2007 → ≈8 years to first operational delivery; 5 recorded crashes → ≈3.3% crash rate.

Since we are talking facts; The first Tejas aircraft was inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 2015, with the first operational squadron, the No. 45 "Flying Daggers," formally inducted in 2016. While the first aircraft (SP1) was handed over to the IAF in January 2015, its squadron was formally established a year later. Its first participation in an Exercise outside of India was in Desert Flag VIII in the UAE in 2023.

Narrative and Propaganda? Less than 40 Tejas in service and this is what? only the 2nd airshow Tejas has attended this year! Tejas doesn't even belong to the list of aircraft mentioned. Sick in your own tragedy 🇮🇳🏳️

JF-17: 186 in service, 5 crashes (not 6) → 2.7%. Over 40,000 flight hours → ~8,000 hrs per crash. Tejas: 30 in service, 2 crashes → 6.7%. Only 1,954 flight hours total → ~977 hrs per crash.

Quoting ‘2 crashes in 21 years’ and then dumping global crash stats is just noise. The point isn’t whether jets have crashed — the point is an Indian jet went down at an international airshow and a pilot died. Real confidence comes from honesty & transparency not propaganda.

14 years ago today, China's 5th-gen fighter J-20 made its maiden flight. Back in 2009, the US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said in a speech that China will have no 5th-gen aircraft by 2020... In 2011, a few hours before Gates arrived in China for his meeting with Hu Jintao, J-20 made its first-ever test flight. An interesting way to respond? In 2009, Gates also predicted the U.S. would have nearly 1,100 of the most advanced 5th-gen fighters (F-35s and F-22s) by 2020. He also stated that by 2025, the gap between the U.S. and China would only grow wider. The truth is, in 2025, China's 6th-gen fighter jets have finished their maiden flight, while the U.S. Air Force has yet to disclose its 6th-gens.

🚨🇨🇳 U.S. IN PANIC: CHINA DEPLOYS FIRST '5+ GEN' TWIN-SEAT FIGHTER China has fielded the world’s first operational ‘5+ generation’ fighter: the twin-seat J-20S, purpose-built for airborne command and control rather than training. 🔸 The J-20S is the only twin-seat fifth-generation fighter in active service, optimized for real-time command over other J-20s and loyal wingman drones. 🔸 PLAAF brought the J-20S into operational service in July 2025, delivering the exact frontline evolution chief designer Yang Wei announced years earlier. 🔸 With a combat radius roughly twice that of the F-22 or F-35, the second crewman becomes a critical force multiplier for long-range strikes and complex drone coordination. 🔸 Following the successful J-11 to J-16 transition, analysts expect the PLAAF to shift J-20 procurement toward all-twin-seat frontline units. 🔸 While future US and Chinese sixth-gen fighters will both be twin-seaters, the current F-35 fleet remains single-seat due to its smaller airframe that cannot easily accommodate a second crewman. Do you think the West can catch up to China's jet fighters?

TARGETED: BEIRUT – THE 1983 MARINE BARRACKS BOMBING AND THE UNTOLD ORIGIN STORY OF THE WAR ON TERROR My first work of non-fiction, written with Pulitzer Prize Finalist James M. Scott James M. Scott, is available September 24 in Hardcover, eBook, and Audiobook narrated by @Ray__Porter Ray Porter. Pre-Order Today! On October 23, 1983, the United States Marine Corps experiences its greatest single-day loss of life since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II when a truck packed with explosives crashes into their headquarters and barracks building in Beirut, Lebanon. This horrifying attack killed 241 U.S. servicemen in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. Now, this event will not only be remembered for devastation and death, but for the resilience and heroism of our servicemen, rising from the ashes to rescue their brothers in arms in a race against time. TARGETED: BEIRUT humanizes this pivotal event and captures its history at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels to ensure its lessons learned in blood will never be forgotten. TARGETED: BEIRUT is based on comprehensive interviews with survivors, recently declassified documents, extensive military records research, as well as personal letters, diaries, and photographs. It is the authoritative account of the deadly attack. There are lessons in the pages of history.

🇨🇳🇵🇰🇮🇳 Here’s the part everyone is missing about China’s new J-10C upgrade: Beijing didn’t just bolt a new missile under a light fighter. It quietly erased the last remaining excuse Western analysts had for dismissing Chinese aviation. A 1,000-kg class mini-ballistic anti-ship missile with a 500 km range, integrated on a mass-produced, low-cost fighter, this is not “an upgrade,” it is China turning a $40M jet into a strategic asset that used to require a bomber. And the timing couldn’t be more poetic. While India keeps boasting about “balancing China,” their Rafale squadron literally got hunted down by the same export-variant J-10CE they mocked for years. Seven jets downed in four days, so embarrassing that they let Trump take credit for “stopping the war.” This new J-10C loadout means: • A light fighter can now perform missions previously reserved for YJ-21-class platforms. • China can mass-deploy long-range anti-ship capability without expanding its heavy-bomber fleet. • Smaller air forces buying Chinese jets suddenly gain deterrence options only “major powers” used to own. China is not simply "catching up"; it has rewritten the cost curve of modern airpower. And the funniest part? Western media is still talking about “disputed islands” and “rules-based order,” while China is out here putting ballistic missiles on single-engine fighters. The battlefield has already moved on. Some people just haven’t updated their software.

🚨PAKISTAN🇵🇰 AND INDIA🇮🇳 AT WAR AGAIN ☢️ A Rutgers University study estimated that if India and Pakistan were to strike each other’s population centres with 250 nuclear weapons, with a yield of 100 kilotons each, an estimated 127 million people would be killed in South Asia from just the explosions, fires, and radiation. The long-term effects would be even more horrifying, 37 million tonnes of soot would be injected into the atmosphere, sending temperatures across the planet plunging by more than 5 degrees Celsius, resulting in a famine which would kill an estimated 2 billion people. The world is once again on the brink, thanks to a problem created by Britain when carving up colonial India. Billions of lives now have the nuclear Sword of Damocles having over their necks. Unless the great powers such as China🇨🇳 and Russia🇷🇺 can mediate, the nuclear nightmare may become a reality. As we speak, Pakistan and India continue to exchange fire with the hostilities escalating. The path to a multipolar world could face a serious setback with India and Pakistan destroying each other, undoing years of development and plunging the world into an abyss. China’s concern will be the CPEC, the 3000KM Chinese infrastructure network project which runs through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir that is an integral part of the historic Belt & Road Initiative. China will also be concerned with how its thawing relations with India will be affected, as India’s strikes could put China’s investments in Pakistan at risk. The US’🇺🇸 eyes will be on the growing military ties with India, and its bid to turn India into an ally against China, Washington’s next target for sabotage, war and destruction. The US also has close ties with the political and military elites of Pakistan, which aided many of Washington’s dirty wars. India and Pakistan annihilating each other may shift the balance of power back to the old colonial order, led by the US with its loyal vassals in the US, UK, and EU, the same colonial order despised by all in the region. The annihilation of both countries obviously is neither in the interests of India and Pakistan, and it is definitely not in the interests of the multipolar world, which billions around the world need for real economic development, prosperity and security. Let’s hope India and Pakistan step back from the brink of all-out destruction.

Six months ago in The New York Times, I argued that the data on driverless cars was becoming overwhelming and that needless barriers were costing lives. But data won’t win our trust. Today in Noema Magazine, I explain why. Being safe and feeling safe are not the same. What’s puzzling is that where these cars operate, the numbers aren’t close: 94% fewer serious-injury crashes than human drivers on the same roads, across 220 million driverless miles. Plummeted pedestrian and intersection crashes. Peer reviewed research confirms these findings. But trust hasn’t followed. Part of the answer lies in the signals we read. A cautious machine can look confused. A failsafe can look like a failure. One visible mistake will outweigh millions of clean miles. When a human makes a mistake, we can see ourselves in it. We’ve all looked down at the wrong time. When a machine makes the mistake, there’s no one to blame and no one to forgive. It’s an opaque version of fate we can’t accept. Data shows that we will choose a worse human over a better algorithm. Medicine has been here before. When we are patients, we can’t usually read care quality directly. So we read what we can see: the bandage on the floor, stained ceiling tiles, how staff talks to each other. Healthcare spent 30 years building the discipline of patient experience and writing this playbook. Today hospitals are measured and paid on it. The driverless car industry has built the safety half. This essay is about the other half. Felt safety. We really need to get this right. Cars are only the first. Our future has us living surrounded by embodied autonomous systems.

CoreWeave $CRWV CEO Michael Intrator, on the Big Technology Podcast, providing what I believe is the most compelling rebuttal to the narrative that GPUs only have a 2 to 3-year useful life. CoreWeave's customers are the world's most sophisticated users of GPUs, and they are signing contracts to utilize today's GPUs for the next 5 years, despite Nvidia's new product release cadence resulting in more efficient GPUs every 1-2 years. The use-case for the GPUs might change over time as Nvidia rolls out new products (e.g. older chips are moved from training to inference workloads), but the "usefulness" does not. "The most important tool that I have for understanding what the depreciation curve or the obsolescence curve of compute is not what I think, right? It's not what some historic short (seller) thinks. It's what are the buyers, the most sophisticated companies in the world are willing to pay for today. And when they come to me and they put in a contract for a 5-year deal or 6-year deal, in what world do I not think that they who are the consumers of this understand that there are new, more powerful chips coming out? Of course they do. They understand it, but they also understand what their various use cases are. And they're saying to themselves, "I'm going to buy this because I'm going to need it today. I'm going to need it in 3 years, and I'm going to need it in 5 years"... My opinions around depreciation are informed by the only entities that get to vote in my world, which are the folks that are paying for the compute over time."

The use-case for the GPUs might change over time as Nvidia rolls out new products (e.g. older chips are moved from training to inference workloads), but the "usefulness" does not. "The most important tool that I have for understanding what the depreciation curve or the obsolescence curve of compute is not what I think, right? It's not what some historic short (seller) thinks. It's what are the buyers, the most sophisticated companies in the world are willing to pay for today. And when they come to me and they put in a contract for a 5-year deal or 6-year deal, in what world do I not think that they who are the consumers of this understand that there are new, more powerful chips coming out? Of course they do. They understand it, but they also understand what their various use cases are. And they're saying to themselves, "I'm going to buy this because I'm going to need it today. I'm going to need it in 3 years, and I'm going to need it in 5 years"... My opinions around depreciation are informed by the only entities that get to vote in my world, which are the folks that are paying for the compute over time."

Why are Russians so desperate to Sell their 5th Gen Su-57-E Felon to India even with Full ToT ? > Till 2011-2012 even the Rafale wasn’t finding its Customers, its Rival Eurofighter Typhoon was Single handedly dominating the European Military Aviation Market be it UK, Germany, Italy and Spain Countries that heavily invested in the Aircraft Austria, Kuwait, Oman , Qatar and Saudi Arabia procured the Eurofighter Typhoon that certainly made Eurofighter Typhoon Order book more lengthy. > In 2012 IAF (Indian Air Force) Selected the Rafale for MMRCA (Medium Multirole Combat Aircraft) which was Supposed to be a replacement for Obsolete Jaguar and Mirage-2000 Fleet of the IAF. The Selection process involved Intensive Flight Testing that were carried out by the Experimental Test Pilots (Fighter Pilots Having Experimental Test Pilot Qualification) of the Indian Air Force in Varied Terrain and with different Configurations. Thereafter it was Selected for MMRCA. But due to Financial and Budgetary Constraints cited by then Defence Minister AK Anthony the deal wad never signed. Notwithstanding, once the Indian Air Force had selected the Rafale the News was enough to Attract new Customers for Rafale, soon Rafale found its customers First Egypt and later Qatar Signed the deal. The World is Aware of the Flight Testing Capabilities and the Training and Experience of the Experimental Test Pilots (Fighter Pilots having Experimental Test Pilot Qualification) of the Indian Air Force. > When Modi Government signed the Deal for 36 Rafale as interim measure in 2016 thereafter Greece, UAE, Indonesia, Croatia, Serbia placed orders for Rafale. Today Rafale has huge Order book. The Russians are Aware of this Fact, that If IAF Selects the Su-57 the American Monopoly over the 5th Gen Fighter will be broken. Many Countries that want to purchase the 5th Gen Fighter Aircraft are looking towards America despite U.S not offering them a Better package for the Deal and to some they aren’t even offering the 5th Gen and at the same time these Countries are Sceptical about the Russian Su-57. If Indian Air Force Starts operating the Su-57 it will Ignite Sense of Confidence Among other Countries to buy these SU-57 Jets. > On a Contrary, the Chinese 5th Gen Fighters like J-20 and J-35 might soon find its Customers given the Cheap price at which the Chinese are Offering these 5th Gen Fighters compared to the American F-35 and the Russian SU-57. If Chinese get Customers for its 5th Gen Fighters be it J-20 and J-35 soon Russians will lose their Position as their Credibility will be hit and it is going to cause a Devastating effect for the Russian Military Aviation Industry as in future their 6th Gen Fighter Jet Program will be affected very badly.

🚨🇨🇳 PENTAGON IN SHOCK: CHINA’S J-10C PILOTS DEVELOP TACTICS TO DEFEAT MORE ADVANCED FIGHTERS China’s J-10C pilots are developing new tactics to take on more advanced aircraft, as the People’s Liberation Army Air Force focuses on training, coordination and tactical innovation instead of relying on aircraft specifications alone. The single-engine J-10C is the least advanced fighter currently being procured by the Chinese Air Force. Larger and newer aircraft such as the J-16, J-20 and J-35 offer significant hardware advantages. However, Chinese officers argue that well-trained pilots can still extract considerable combat value from a mature aircraft through smarter tactics and cooperation with other platforms. J-10 flight group commander Bu Jiawen said the aircraft remains in its prime and continues to serve as a versatile fighter capable of air-superiority, ground-attack and other missions. 🔸 Chinese pilots are training against aircraft with a clear hardware advantage. According to Bu, his unit initially suffered decisive defeats when facing more advanced opponents in exercises. Rather than continuing to fight on their opponents’ terms, the pilots spent roughly one to two years analyzing the encounters and developing unconventional tactics for specific combat scenarios. 🔸 The focus is shifting from individual fighters to coordinated operations. Chinese Air Force officers increasingly emphasize cooperation between aircraft with complementary capabilities. In such a force, a lighter J-10C can operate alongside heavier aircraft such as the J-16 and stealth fighters, allowing each platform to contribute according to its strengths. 🔸 Pilot proficiency can narrow a technological gap. Bu argued that an aircraft’s effectiveness depends heavily on how much of its potential its crew can exploit. His unit has focused on studying opposing tactics, identifying weaknesses and developing solutions tailored to particular situations rather than attempting to overcome every technical disadvantage directly. 🔸 The export J-10CE has already gained combat experience. The Pakistan Air Force used the fighter during the 2025 India–Pakistan clashes. Pakistani officials credited it with air-to-air victories against Indian fighters, although individual loss claims remain disputed. Bangladeshi officials later cited its reported combat performance while pursuing a possible acquisition of the aircraft. 🔸 The J-10C remains a frontline Chinese fighter. Although it lacks the stealth capabilities of China’s fifth-generation aircraft, its modern sensors, long-range weapons and ability to operate alongside other platforms allow it to remain relevant in high-end missions. China is building an air force in which several generations of fighters can operate together. The J-10C’s role is not to replace stealth aircraft, but to remain useful as a lighter, mature platform while more advanced jets handle the missions that depend most heavily on stealth, range and payload. For the Pentagon, the problem is scale and flexibility. China does not need every aircraft in its fleet to be a fifth- or sixth-generation fighter if its less advanced jets can still create serious problems through better tactics, coordination and pilot proficiency. Can better tactics enable older fighters to compete with newer, more advanced aircraft?

🇮🇷 GAS AND OIL TRADE - IRAN’S ATTRITION STRATEGY: A queue of ships has built up in front of the Strait of Hormuz. This is what the artery supplying the global economy with 25% of oil and 30% of liquefied natural gas currently looks like. Brent (European benchmark) reached $94.16 per barrel today (+10%). WTI (US oil) peaked at $92.42 per barrel (+14%). Overall, prices have risen more than 30% this week, a direct consequence of Sunday’s events. Russian Urals oil has outpaced this increase: by the end of February it had risen nearly 50%, from $45 to $68 per barrel. For the first time in a long while, no discounts apply. Moreover, Russian oil is now selling to India above Brent, with a $4–5 premium—around $100 per barrel. The market is experiencing shortages and panic. Experts estimate that a blockade of Hormuz could cause a 2% drop in global GDP. It may sound minor, but it isn’t. A healthy global economy typically grows 3–4% per year. Today, even without a major Middle East war, the world is on the edge of recession with 2.9% growth. A global recession is defined as growth slowing to 2–2.5%. That’s just a slowdown, not a collapse. A 2% decline from current levels would mean a roughly 5-percentage-point swing—a massive failure that would erase trillions in value. This would no longer be a recession but a deep depression by historical standards. In 2009 the global economy contracted by about 1.7%. The result: mass layoffs, falling incomes, widespread bankruptcies, and stock market crashes. If they do it on purpose, then the goal is to plunge the world into chaos and wage a war of attrition with China—otherwise China will soon overtake them. This is the only way the US can prevail. Just as Iran now has a chance to survive only through a prolonged war. Chaos by design

🚨 IRAN WAR DAY 26 UPDATE ~ IRAN JUST SHOT DOWN A US F-18 FIGHTER JET. THE 4TH AIRCRAFT KILL USING HOMEMADE TECH. READ THAT AGAIN: The war Trump said was "won in the first hour" just lost another aircraft. Here's what's happening right now: – A US F/A-18 was struck over Chabahar and crashed into the Indian Ocean. IRGC released footage. Washington has said NOTHING. – This is only the 3rd time in HISTORY a US F-18 has been shot down. 1991 Gulf War. 1995 Bosnia. Now Iran 2026. – Iran already hit an F-35 on Day 19 ~ CENTCOM confirmed emergency landing. The $190,000,000 "invisible" jet, beaten by passive infrared. – 16+ US military aircraft destroyed since Feb 28. 10 Reapers. F-15s. KC-135 tanker — all 6 crew killed. – The F-35 program cost $1,700,000,000,000 to develop. Iran's passive IR system was built domestically for a fraction. – Trump, Day 3: "We've won. In the first hour it was over." – Trump, Day 26: 82nd Airborne being deployed. 140 service members injured. 13-14 killed. – Iran rejected the US 15-point ceasefire TODAY. Fired at the USS Abraham Lincoln. Called Trump's negotiations "antics." – Bitcoin crashed from $126,000 to $71,000 since the war started ~ $900,000,000 in crypto liquidations – Oil above $100/barrel for most of the war. The peace talk dip just reversed. – Iran's IRGC: "Fourth interception of Western military aircraft using domestically-built defense systems." F-35 pilots. F-18 pilots. KC-135 crew. Reaper operators. All at the mercy of a war that was supposed to be over 25 days ago. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

🔥Does Bangladesh has any shame left? Their Prime Minister’s Information Adviser, Zahed Ur Rahman, sits in the Secretariat, microphones in front of him, and announces that Dhaka will buy Chinese J-10CE fighters because “it is now established” that a Chinese J-10 shot down an Indian Rafale in the India-Pakistan war. Established by whom? Pakistan’s ISPR? Beijing’s propaganda mill? Or a Bangladeshi official who has decided 1971 is inconvenient history? The IAF has never officially confirmed that claim. That is not a press conference talking point for a neighbour shopping for the same jet Pakistan used against India. Rafale is a 4.5-generation fighter. Calling a cheaper Chinese single-engine export jet its combat superior because Islamabad said so is not analysis. It is parroting. They looked at Eurofighter and Rafale, flinched at the price, and chose the Chinese option sold as “combat-proven” on the back of Pakistani claims. Cost over capability. Dependency over dignity. This is not a procurement story. It is a signal. West: Pakistan flying Chinese jets. East: Bangladesh lining up the same family of aircraft, plus attack helicopters and UAVs. Same supplier. Same narrative. Same willingness to treat Indian losses as a sales brochure. In 1971 the Indian Army fought so East Pakistan could become Bangladesh. Today an adviser in Dhaka repeats Pakistani kill claims and tells his country the Chinese jet that supposedly beat Rafale is the smart buy. That is not strategic autonomy. That is strategic amnesia, or a calculated tilt. The Indian Army plans for two fronts. This is how a third one is built: cheap Chinese platforms, Pakistani talking points, and a neighbour that pretends it is only “modernising.” Bangladesh thinks it is buying air power. It is buying a leash. And it is advertising which way the leash pulls. India does not need to get emotional. It needs to stay ready, including on the eastern border. History forgotten is history repeated. Jai Hind.
