A little OT, but some of the votes are amusing to say the least.
> Myanmar votes to kick Russia out (recently US officially recognised the "genocide" of the Rohingyas).
> Russia's slav brother Serbia also voted for the motion, they reportedly got some minor sanctions relief from the US.
The myanmar rep at un is from the previous democratic regime as junta is sanctioned

This is an awesome capability
The benefits of mass producing y-20 aircraft is wonderfully seen here
These can be workhorse of aerial military logistics
This can literally increase the chances of winning wars against their enemies
We are here facing trouble in acquiring these systems c-17 closed and il-76 is literally worthless due to serviceability
We need heavy class transports as indigenous solution not available thanks to our establishment what other options exists with similar capability

Beware! Chinese hackers are using VLC Media Player to spy on you
Shweta Ganjoo

3-4 minutes



VLC is a fairly popular media player. The fact that it takes minimal space on PCs, loads faster and works with almost every video format makes it a fan favourite. Now, a new report suggests that scammers are using its popularity to launch malware attacks on users.

According to a report by Symantec’s cybersecurity researchers, a state-sponsored Chinese group called Cicada or APT10 is using VLC Media Player on Windows PCs to launch malware for spying on government, legal, religious, telecom, pharmaceutical and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in countries across the globe, including in Europe, Asia, and North America. The victims of Cicada’s cyber attacks are spread across the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Turkey, Israel, India, Montenegro, Italy and Japan

This, along with this


Might be signaling a big push from the USA to abandon the Russian camp and join USA's camp. This might be a combination of both a big-carrot as well as stick diplomacy by the USA.

Difficult situation for India I will say. We can safely migrate to USA's camp without compromising much of our capabilities, we ought to do it, in my opinion.

Even though the USA is an unreliable partner, it will be still better than improvised and declining Russia, which will have no aptitude to help us in any manner anymore. It will be a matter of a few years before China absorbs Russia by debt traps and buyouts. Then we will be in the same situation (China blocking us technology and spare parts) as what we will face if we make the jump today.

on abandoning russia, even if India wants to, it will take atleast 10-15 years excess military spending to get to that stage, don't have that luxury at this point in time.
muricans on the other hand may block military sales, just because if aakar patel gets arrested. it's been seven years and still they haven't made a decision on selling us armed drones, probably because of pakistan.

Maybe they don’t want to share the pleasure with Indians which Uncle Sam used to get by doing drone attacks on Pakistan :megusta:.

Nah, few problems

1)Residual (and good) hardware we have from russians will lose spares, we will lose the TOT we used to get for subs, missiles, etc. I dont think russia will fall into chinese debt trap, they have good reserves and have been running on federal surplus for a few years (instead of deficit like all other countries)

2) US presidents happen to be very finnicky. Till US public sentiment is still anti Indian, till their news calls us "partially free","backsliding democratically" etc we will never be able to trust them. American public doesnt understand much foriegn policy but feels very compelled to comment on it - Thus forcing leaders to take action, even in a token form. For example - CAATSA on India makes no sense, but since they applied it to turkey, they want to look "fair" to home audience and thus are still tight lipped. A few days back a couple of murican exfarts were calling for sanctions as well.

Other than the finicky nature of Washington aunties, subhuman sepoys and military dependence on Russia- one more very important aspect is regional Geopolitics. With Russia gone, we can kind of forget any meaningful engagement with Central Asia. Then comes Iran, and given the tail wagging the dog syndrome of Israel -US relations I fear that'll be compromised too. Iran is 1) a close neighbour 2) a closer neighbour of Pakistan 3) Oil source 4) gateway to CA and Afghanistan. Our northern and Western continent will become cold to us. I don't see either the Democrats or the Republicans cutting a slack for Iran. On the eastern front Myanmar is kinda sold of to the Chinese, Muricans would want to pincer that bogey even further. Kanglus are good for nothing but will most likely play the neutral game like India did in cold war- inclined towards China. India might end up in a difficult neighborhood, if we take the liberty of getting ahead of ourselves. Relation with America has less bilateral nature, it wants to come in full portfolio of the choices one can make.

Burger boys cannot be trusted if we get dependent on them for military hardware then they will use it as a leverage to fulfill their unrealistic demands.

We should not forget their main aim is our balkanisation.

I think we are the ones that are dragging our feet and not American reluctance - they are more than happy to sell MQ-9s, especially as their military is no longer interested in buying them (since they are moving on to more advanced stealth drones for "near peer" wars).
