"No difference between US Navy in this case & Houthis"- @SanjayJSingh1 scathing on Missile Strike on Ships with Indian Sailors; @AmbBhaswati1 Warns of Increasing Anti-US sentiment & @CaptDKS asks if Indian seafarers being targeted. Excellent show in full youtube.com/watch?v=o5CK7-5J…

Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, a serving DGMO (Op Sindoor fame), is the new Military Adviser to NSCS. 1st serving officer to be appointed to post. Currently DCOAS, he has commanded a Brigade in Central Sector, Division in Arunachal Pradesh and a Corps in Kashmir. @Arun_Golaya @nitingokhale

While the deaths of the Indian sailors after American naval action are undeniably tragic, a larger and uncomfortable question remains - what exactly were these foreign-flagged vessels doing there? Two of the ships had already been sanctioned by the US for being part of the so-called “shadow fleet” moving Iranian oil. The tragedy should not obscure the reality that the masters and the Captains of these ships were fully aware of the risks they were taking. Crew on board, mostly Indians because we have large numbers of such workers, became victims because most of the sailors on board get there either knowingly to earn extra or through unscrupulous agents who trick them. Importantly, no Indian-flagged vessel has been targeted. Indian ships continue to transit the region under arrangements and protocols issued by both the US and Iran, irrespective of the illegality of it. The distinction between Indian ships and foreign-flagged vessels operating in the sanctions grey zone is important.

Reflecting its enduring commitment to maritime safety, the #IndianNavy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team from #SouthernNavalCommand, Kochi, safely extracted an unexploded missile warhead from Marshall Islands registered oil tanker MT Olympic Life, enroute from UAE to Kochi. Rendering assistance irrespective of the vessel's flag or crew nationality, the #IndianNavy continues to stand as a trusted security partner, safeguarding merchant shipping and promoting safe and secure seas. pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.… #PreferredSecurityPartner #FirstResponder #MaritimeSecurity #AnytimeAnywhereAnyhow @IN_HQSNC @SpokespersonMoD

@CaptDKS spot on…tragedy, but could have been avoided. My condolences to the families

Suppose this had happenned in Kashmir on our side. the whole world would have been on our backs. A police officer from POK explains it well to @AnchorAnandN @TheSatishDua you would know.. @CaptDKS @MEAIndia @MearsheimerJ

The post concerning a woman Agniveer of INS Dega is entirely false, baseless, and devoid of facts. Such malicious attempts to malign the image of women serving the nation with pride in the Indian Navy are condemnable and deeply regrettable. We request everyone to refrain from sharing or amplifying this misinformation.

Wish some due diligence was done before posting this fake piece of information. Fact check matters.

Lt Cdr Roopa, an alumnus of 4 TN Naval Tech NCC Unit was awarded with prestigious Shaurya Chakra for her exemplary bravery in Navika Sagar Parikrama, A circumnavigation initiative of the Indian Navy.

Adv is Advocate? Am flabbergasted... everything that you have put here is wrong, confirmed false and you have victim shamed the lady Agniveer and the tens of naval personnel. If you have been "Fed" this info, you should have confirmed before putting it here. Either you are a victim of false propaganda or a perpetrator. ALL wrong. Place, time, incident, events, charges- all wrong. Confirmed from authoritative sources. Only truth? One woman reported sick. The tale you spun thereafter is fabrication. And your laugh emoticon used worsens it. Funny, eh? And an advocate to boot. Her/his clients should be wary. And worry.

Praying for Maa Bharti’s continued rise through good governance, resulting in greater prosperity, security, and well-being for every Indian. May Prabhu Shri Ram bless you with good health, wisdom, and strength as you continue to serve the nation.

Why is autonomous takeoff and landing from a moving ship considered one of the most challenging problems in aviation? Because the runway itself is moving. Unlike conventional aviation, where aircraft operate from fixed runways, maritime operations require aircraft to interact with a platform that is constantly affected by waves, wind, and vessel motion. A ship can move in six degrees of freedom simultaneously surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, and yaw. For an autonomous drone, every one of these movements must be measured, predicted, and compensated for in real time. The challenge is fundamentally a physics and control systems problem. The aircraft must account for:
 • Relative motion between the drone and the vessel
 • Rapidly changing wind conditions around the ship
 • Limited landing space 
• Sensor and communication delays 
• Dynamic seastate conditions Perhaps the most difficult aspect is prediction. The drone cannot simply fly to where the deck is, it must estimate where the deck will be when it reaches the landing point. This requires the integration of advanced navigation systems, inertial sensors, sensor fusion, flighcontrol algorithms, and autonomous decision-making capabilities. The result is a fascinating intersection of aerodynamics, robotics, navigation, ocean engineering, and artificial intelligence. It is encouraging to see Indian companies working on these complex engineering challenges. Among them, Sagar Defence Engineering has been developing autonomous maritime systems, including technologies related to ship based drone operations which are called #spotters, contributing to the advancement of indigenous maritime autonomy capabilities. Autonomous operations from moving vessels remain one of the most demanding real world applications of robotics and aviation and a powerful example of how multidisciplinary engineering can solve highly dynamic problems. #Engineering #Robotics #AutonomousSystems #Drones #MaritimeTechnology #ControlSystems #Physics #Innovation #Aerospace @India_iDEX @PMOIndia @DefMinIndia @rajnathsingh @Dayanand_delhi @indiannavy @makeinindia @MakeInMaha @DPIITGoI @ONGC_ @AIMtoInnovate @DrdoTdf @cdacindia @dgshipping_IN @PrinSciAdvOff @startupindia @Boeing @LiquidRobotics @IN_WNC @IN_HQENC @IN_HQSNC @IAF_MCC @adgpi @startupindia @NorthernComd_IA @IaSouthern @SpokespersonMoD @MSInSociety @midc_india @investindia @PortXLglobal @Nikunj_Parashar @Mdlski @dang_lakshay @mysaurabh96

After a stint in a different vocation, I have been an “uninterrupted” journalist for 33 years!

For years, we at the BharatShakti Group have been tracking, reporting on Andaman and Nicobar Islands and develoodments on the Great Nicobar Island project. Now that the world is waking upto it, here’s a look back

🧵 With the Andaman & Nicobar Islands back in the strategic spotlight, here's a look back at our coverage over the years on why these islands matter so much to India's security, maritime strategy and Indo-Pacific ambitions. @nitingokhale stratnewsglobal.com/india/rs…

'A Quasi War Issue' That's Highly 'Complex' - Ex-🇮🇳 Navy Spox @CaptDKS Calls Into Question The Validity Of The 🇺🇸 Blockade In The Hormuz Strait His comments to RT India Presenter @osamashaab come after a vessel carrying Indian seafarers came under attack near the coast of Oman on Monday (8 June).

'For 🇺🇸 Blockade To Come Into Force, There Must Be A War Declaration' - Ex-🇮🇳 Navy Spox @CaptDKS The US is acting with impunity, and doing what suits its needs, he tells RT India Presenter @osamashaab, adding that Washington has created a "might is right" situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Should I say I am quite proud. Lt Cdrs Dilna and Roopa have been decorated with the Shaurya Chakra.
