Sydney Schanberg, who covered 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War for The New York Times, wrote this about the Indian Army: “I don’t like sitting around praising armies. I don’t like armies because armies mean wars. But this (Indian) army was something. They were great all the way. _There never was a black mark … I lived with the officers, and I walked and rode with the jawans. They were all great. But I never saw a man flinch because he was scared. There was a tremendous spirit in the Indian Army, and it did one good to experience it. _“I have seen our boys [US Army] in Vietnam—and this army was different. Their arms and equipment aren’t as good-but what they had were used with effect and boy! could they improvise. I saw heavy recoilless guns carried on shoulders, big guns pushed across marshes like ox-carts, by jawans, villagers, officers, everybody was in it together, and they were perfect gentlemen. I never saw them do a thing wrong, not even when they saw just how bestial the enemy had been.”

Cheers, Doc

Indian army really deserve this praise. It is very rare that a deep state puppet like NYT praises Indian army. However, someone spoke the truth.

Indian army really deserve this praise. It is very rare that a deep state puppet like NYT praises Indian army. However, someone spoke the truth.

The guy (he died a while ago) was a proper old school war correspondent. A legend from what I can see from his prolific writing. East Pakistan. Cambodia. Google has a lot of it. Pretty detailed. A sense of reliving history from the ground. Tumultuous days.

'Technological marvel': ISRO unveils world's largest solid propellant mixer, a boost for India's space self-reliance​

'Technological marvel': ISRO unveils world's largest solid propellant mixer, a boost for India's space self-reliance
ISRO has crossed another milestone in space technology with the successful development of a 10-tonne Vertical Planetary Mixer — the world’s largest of its kind for solid propellants. Built in collaboration with the Central Manufacturing Technology Institute (CMTI) in Bengaluru, the mixer is set to revolutionize the production of solid rocket motors, a key component of India’s space missions.



Solid propulsion is critical to India’s space transportation systems, requiring precision in mixing highly sensitive and hazardous ingredients. "Solid propulsion plays a crucial role in Indian Space Transportation Systems, and the vertical mixer is one of the critical equipment in solid motor production," ISRO said in a statement.

The project was led by the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, working alongside CMTI to design and manufacture this state-of-the-art system. According to ISRO, the mixer has passed factory-level acceptance tests and will significantly improve productivity, quality, and throughput in heavy solid motor production.

Describing the development as a “significant technological marvel,” ISRO emphasized that the initiative aligns with India's broader push for self-reliance in critical space technologies. "The realization of the indigenous 10-tonne vertical mixer is a true testament to India’s growing technological prowess, self-reliance, and unwavering commitment to innovation," the agency added.



The formal handover took place on February 13 at CMTI, Bengaluru, where the Director of SDSC SHAR received the mixer from the Director of CMTI in the presence of ISRO Chairperson V Narayanan. The new system is expected to play a crucial role in advancing India’s spaceflight capabilities.
