There was an inside pic of a C-17 shared yesterday or the day before.
That was a false picture, it was of US C17s carrying Phillipino people.

Should be avoided imo. Garuds have been posing for pictures from their first 'appearance' at Aero India. That is not a problem. Khair, each to their own.
Agreed, but this time it's not that we are doing any covert ops, just to protect the aircraft so I think its okay.

C-17 production line was line functioning well into the BJP term also.

Infact Boeing had given multiple warnings that they were shutting down the lines and therefore orders needed to be given.

Unfortunately neither the previous govt nor this govt bothered with the issue.
After 2016 our focus shifted from transport aircraft fighter jet.
8.6 billion euro rafale deal was signed.
After that tejas mk 1 A deal was also signed.
So our air force is focusing on fighter jets and not transport aircraft.
Even 5 billion dollars s400 deal was also signed
We don't had extra money to buy transport aircraft. Our focus currently is jets not heavy lift transport plane

Same coordinated talking point on NDTV CNN BBC..

“Taliban is trying to change the optics of how they are viewed. Taliban spokespersons are going to news studios and giving interviews to women journalists”: Suhasini Haider (@suhasinih), Diplomatic Affairs editor of The Hindu, on the #Afghan crisis

Don't worry, give these vulture journalists a few months. They'll whitewash these barbarians into a bunch of 'misunderstood people who were sticking to their culture'. Sad for Afghanistan, they don't have oil or else BP and Cairn would've lobbied the hell out of Whities and they would've been doling them out ice-creams.

Taliban Ka Putra


India - Taliban talks are not out in the open.. mainly because the Taliban is hesitant, as Pakistan tries to kill any open channel.. and the Taliban run the risk of being assassinated by ISI

Below is a good article

Now we have a stick to beat that stupid democracy index ranking.
=======
Remember how we discussed at length some random report from the V-Dem Institute in Sweden this year? This is their reality

Our inferiority complex is getting us nowhere



Swedish staff left the embassy as their Afghan colleagues worked. Then, they refused to answer calls from the Afghan staff and even blocked their official email accounts. Left the country.
