🧵RED FORT BLAST TIMELINE - The November 10 explosion that shook Delhi exposed a sophisticated JeM terror module operating under the radar.

This thread details the complete chronology from initial intelligence to the blast & beyond. A detailed OSINT breakdown. THE BACKDROP
October 2025 Approximately 1 month prior to the blast, JeM Chief Masood Azhar made public announcements calling for attacks in India.
In parallel, 8-9 coordinated terror module busts occurred across India, signaling embedded sleeper cells becoming ACTIVE across NCR.

🧵 In the past 30 days, Indian intelligence & security agencies have systematically dismantled 8 major terror plots across the nation. Yet a deadly blast at Red Fort reminds us that even one slip is catastrophic.

Here's a thread on these counter-terror operations. On Nov 10, Delhi-NCR, J&K and Haryana Police jointly recovered 2,900 kg of explosives including ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur from Faridabad. Two suspects Dr Muzammil Ganaie and Dr Adil arrested.

The materials were sufficient to manufacture hundreds of IEDs capable of causing catastrophic damage across multiple locations.

Thread 🧵: The 1962 Sino-Indian war is often remembered as a sudden border clash. But evidence shows it was deeply shaped by #ColdWar geopolitics. #CIA ops in #Tibet, Mao’s suspicions of India, and US strategy to divide Delhi & Beijing were central to the conflict’s outbreak. Traditional accounts blame Nehru’s “Forward Policy” or Beijing’s expansionism. Chinese records cite “Indian imperialism” in Tibet; Indian ones stress “Chinese betrayal.” Yet declassified #ColdWar files reveal the war’s roots lay in Tibet & great power rivalry, not maps alone.

The project, launched by #DRDO in 1986, aimed to power Tejas fighters. The twin-spool afterburning turbofan has encountered challenges but continues to grow. Kaveri GTX-35VS was designed to produce 52kN of dry thrust and 81kN with afterburner. However, it achieves about 51kN dry and 70-75kN wet thrust. Its weight is 1,180kg, slightly over the 1,100kg target. The Performance gap led to #Tejas delinking in 2008.

🧵THREAD: India’s Missile Arsenal: India’s missile system is layered, covering everything from battlefield strength to global reach. Each range contributes to level of deterrence, influencing India’s strategic posture. Let’s break it down: Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM)

Range: <1,000 km

Tactical, fast, and cost-effective; designed for immediate battlefield use and regional security.
Missiles: Agni-I, Prithvi I/II/III, Prahaar
The backbone of India’s rapid response capability.

🧵 THREAD: Fiber-Optic Guided Drones (FOG-D) are revolutionizing warfare in Ukraine. Unlike traditional drones that use radio signals, these are connected by physical fiber-optic cables - making them completely immune to jamming. Here's why this matters: How they work: Instead of radio waves, FOG-D trail a hair-thin fiber-optic cable behind them as they fly. Control commands and crystal-clear HD video travel as light pulses through this physical connection. No radio emissions = invisible to electronic warfare systems.
