Masterstroke by Modi govt as Russia agrees to...., India set to boost it's arsenal by buying deadly weapons like... Russian President Vladimir Putin is coming to Delhi in September this year to participate in the annual summit between India and Russia. This is the first time that the Russian President is visiting India since war with Ukraine. During this time, Russia is expected to offer both conventional and nuclear submarines and long-range cruise missiles. What is Russia expected to offer? According to reports, Russia is offering the lease and transfer of a second Akula class nuclear-powered attack submarine, at least six refurbished Kilo class submarines and 1500-kilometer-range Caliber cruise missiles. India currently has 17 conventional submarines, two-thirds of which were purchased in the 1980s and now these submarines are getting old. Their service life is ending. Therefore, India now needs new submarines. What are the benefits to India from Russia's proposal? Russia has been India's largest defense equipment supplier for the last five decades. Even today, 60% of India's military assets are of Russian origin, including T-72 and T-90 tanks, Kilo class submarines, and most importantly SU-30MKI fighter jets. The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, which India recently used to attack Pakistani airbases during Operation Sindoor, is a joint project of Russia and India. Although in the last few years India has reduced its dependence on Russia alone and started buying weapons from countries like Israel, South Korea, Germany, France and the US, Russia still remains India's largest defense partner. Why is Russian President's visit to India very important? This visit of Putin will be his first visit to India after the Russia-Ukraine war. This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Moscow on his first bilateral visit after becoming PM for the third time in July 2024 last year to participate in the 22nd India-Russia dialogue. Now, ahead of the 23rd dialogue, Russia is making offers to India in areas where the US cannot compete, such as nuclear submarines, long-range cruise missiles and S-500 air defense systems. The US has neither sold nor leased its nuclear submarine to any country till date. Apart from this, the US has also given its Tomahawk missile only to Britain. In such a situation, Russia remains the only most reliable option for India. The 1500 km range Caliber land-attack cruise missile is considered a major strategic offer from Russia.

The best restaurants in Seminyak
What is it? A sleek tropical-industrial space serving creative Asian-Latin fusion in the heart of Seminyak. Why we love it: Kilo's menu plays with unexpected combos: think wasabi tuna tartare on rice crackers, squid ink rice with crispy soft shell crab or miso-marinated wagyu. It's sophisticated but totally unpretentious - the kind of place where dinner turns into drinks without missing a beat.

With so many air purifiers on the market, it's difficult not to be bogged down by all the choices, features and prices out there.

That's what makes the Afloia Kilo air purifier different from the rest of its type: it's an affordable, highly effective, and very silent solution if you're looking to purify the air in your living space without overspending. Currently on sale for an all-time low price of $59 on Amazon which is a whopping 54% markdown from its original $129, this model offers great value if you're looking for a healthier environment.

Its performance is impressive: it can clean the air in a room measuring 269 square feet four times per hour, and in one hour, clean the air completely in a room as large as 1,076 square feet. This renders it an ideal choice for open-plan living rooms, bedrooms, or any room where fresh air is paramount. The backbone of Afloia's success lies in its advanced filtration technology which captures 99.97% of air particles 0.03 microns and above in size, eliminating dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, smoke, and odor. For allergy sufferers, pet owners, or anyone sensitive to indoor toxins, this means huge relief from sneezing, coughing, and other allergy issues. One of the Afloia Kilo's most compelling selling points is its very quiet operation: In sleep mode, it produces only 22 decibels of sound-better than a whisper which makes it ideal for bedroom, nursery or any room where quiet and peace are paramount.

With its small and lightweight design, it is easy to move from one room to another, and the simple control means that anyone can install it and start using it in minutes.

Incredible dog retires after performing critical job that only he could do: 'No substitute'
The technology we have at our disposal today is nothing short of mind-blowing. Yet, somehow Mother Nature still manages to craft tools that humans couldn't even sniff. Take Kilo, for instance. This German shepherd was an eight-year veteran of the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service until his retirement last month, according to the Vancouver Sun. His job was to detect invasive mussel species using his superpowerful nose that has become the stuff of legends. In over 200 inspections, Kilo sniffed out more than two dozen contaminations. His exceptional work protecting Vancouver's delicate aquatic ecosystem resulted in the expansion of the program. He even got a fellow German shepherd named Major on the BC Conservation Officer Service payroll. The canine species is renowned for its exceptional sense of smell. Dogs have applied their noses to everything from disaster rescue to bomb-sniffing operations to discovering new species of truffles. Kilo's olfactory acumen, however, is even more exceptional than most. "Kilo's abilities are uniquely exceptional, and there is simply no substitute, human or mechanical, that can achieve what Kilo can and has done with his nose," the dog's handler, Sgt. Dan Bartol, told the Sun. On top of his incredible invasive mussel-detection abilities, Kilo is adept at a variety of other scent-centric skills. Bartol said that the shepherd is also "trained to search for people and evidence, including bear parts and shell casings, and assisted in numerous COS investigations." Dogs are enough of a reason all their own to inspire us to protect our planet. Not only do they offer pure unconditional love and companionship, but they help us in our conservation efforts. Kilo isn't the only example, either. In Australia, scent-detection dogs are even being used to protect the endangered koala population. They're doing this by seeking out koalas that are free of the dangerous chlamydia infections that threaten the species. There's also a dog named Eba in California that was adopted by a research biologist and trained to sniff out orca excrement. Her unique skill is being used to track and protect the endangered species. Should the government be paying people to hunt invasive species? Definitely Depends on the animal No way Just let people do it for free Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Dogs … Earth's best friend.
