India’s Tech Hits Something Different!
Operation Sindoor proved one thing loud and clear — you don’t mess with Made-in-India tech.
This wasn’t just a mission; it was a message. A message that India’s defence is now smart, silent, and self-reliant.
From precision drones and stealth missiles to satellite networks and radar jamming — this is a new era of Indian power.
#OperationSindoor
The Drone That Hunts First!
The enemy never had a chance. The SkyStriker kamikaze drone — built by Elbit Systems and Adani’s Alpha Design — stalks its target before it strikes. It can operate on its own or under human control. It moves like a drone, hits like a missile, and disappears like a ghost.

🧵 Thread: John Spencer on #OperationSindoor
#JohnSpencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute, lauded India's approach as a demonstration of strategic restraint and assertiveness.
Operation Sindoor redefined India’s red lines, treating terror attacks from Pakistani territory as acts of war.
Spencer remarked:
"India struck back harder, but stopped short of general war. That is textbook deterrence: calibrated, controlled, and credible."

John Spencer, a leading expert on modern warfare, hailed #OperationSindoor as India's massive victory.
India has not declared Operation Sindoor completely over. What exists now is a sensitive halt in operations—some may call it a ceasefire, but military leaders have deliberately avoided that word. From a warfighting perspective, this is not merely a pause; it is a strategic hold following a rare and unambiguous military victory.
@SpencerGuard
After just four days of calibrated military action, it is objectively conclusive: India achieved a massive victory. Operation Sindoor met and exceeded its strategic aims—destroying terrorist infrastructure, demonstrating military superiority, restoring deterrence, and unveiling a new national security doctrine. This was not symbolic force. It was decisive power, clearly applied.

Akashteer: The “New Age” Air Defence Ecosystem
How could India hit 13 targets, including 8 air base,s so precisely inside various strategic locations in Pakistan? How did Pakistan fail so miserably? These questions have rattled the experts across the world. On the intervening night of 9th & 10th May, when Pakistan unleashed its deadliest attack against Indian military & civilian areas with missiles and drones, they were challenged by the impenetrable, the iron dome, the Indian wall of Self Defence – Akashteer.
@DefenceMinIndia @PIB_India @PIBFactCheck @MIB_India
It was Akashteer, which stopped all Pakistani inbound airborne drones, missiles, other micro UAVs and other loitering munitions and prevented them from entering the Indian airspace.
Akashteer is probably the first operational AI war-cloud built entirely without any foreign components or satellite dependencies. Compared to Akashteer, Pakistan’s air defence response consisted of HQ- 9 & HQ-16 proved to be a failure to detect our projectiles & intercept them timely manner, resulting in heavy losses. ‘Akashteer’, the fully AI-powered autonomous defence system successfully did the real-time target interception and indulged in drone warfare.

#G20, Heads of States & Leaders representing their countries, received a special gift hamper
'Sandook’ is the Hindi word for a treasure chest, is a box made of solid old wood or metal, with a lid on top and embellishments all over. It holds a special place in Indian cultural and folk legends, besides being an epitome of exquisite workmanship.
Sandook has been hand crafted using Sheesham (Indian Rosewood), which is valued for its strength, durability, distinctive grain patterns and rich color. The brass patti (strip) is delicately etched and embedded on to the wood, transforming the piece into a masterpiece of visual delight and tactile splendor. It is worthy of being treasure on its own, besides storing other treasures within.

Saffron (‘Zafran’ in Persian, ‘Kesar’ in Hindi) is the most exotic and expensive spice in the world. Across cultures and civilizations, saffron has been valued for its unparalleled culinary and medicinal value.
Kashmiri Saffron stands as a true embodiment of exclusivity and exceptional quality. Its intense aromatic profile, vibrant color and unmatched potency sets it apart. This is due to the crisp air, abundant sunlight and well-drained soil of Kashmir, which yields saffron with a higher concentration of essential oils.
Apart from being a luxurious and sought after culinary spice, Saffron is abundantly rich in antioxidants and provides many health benefits.
