B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber  A chilling espionage story from two decades ago is back in the spotlight — and it’s making waves across global defense circles. The man at the center of this controversy?

F-35 or Su-57: Which 5th-Gen Fighter Should India Bet On? My Two Cents

Image
F-35 or Su-57: Which 5th-Gen Fighter Should India Bet On? My Two Cents May 26/2025 Time: 43:00 pm  Posted By - Technology & Defense Team  I’ve been fascinated by military aviation since I was a kid, watching grainy footage of MiGs and Sukhois screaming across the sky during Republic Day parades. So when I started thinking about India’s potential 5th-generation fighter options, I couldn’t help but dive deep into the F-35 Lightning II and the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon. These two jets are beasts in their own right, but they’re built with very different philosophies—and India’s choice here could shape our air force for decades. Let me break it down and share why I’m leaning one way over the other. 5th Gen Fighters of Russia and U.S Stealth and Design: Hiding vs. Dancing in the Sky The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin, is like a ninja. It’s all about stealth—its radar cross-section is tiny, thanks to its angular design and radar-absorbing materials. I read somewhere that it’s about as d...

What Inspired the Nagas to Take Up Arms? The Journey from NNC to NSCN and Beyond

What Inspired the Nagas to Take Up Arms? The Journey from NNC to NSCN and Beyond Posted By:  Technology & Defence Team   The story of the Naga insurgency is one of identity, culture, and a fierce desire for self-determination. To understand why the Nagas raised an army and formed multiple armed groups, we need to look at their history, their struggles, and their dreams of sovereignty. Naga National Flag  The Inspiration Behind the Armed Struggle At its core, the motivation for the Naga armed struggle was to protect their unique identity, culture, and ancestral lands. When India gained independence in 1947, the Nagas expected autonomy or even independence based on earlier promises. However, the Indian government integrated the Naga territories into the Union of India without granting the promised rights. Despite their traditional reputation as headhunters — a practice that had declined significantly by the mid-20th century — the Nagas had a strong sense of ethnic pride...
