Explained: Why India’s first indigenous expendable turbojet engine is a historic breakthrough

Image
India has achieved something that only a handful of countries in the world can claim, by developing its first indigenous expendable turbojet engine in the 350 kg thrust class. The engine could support future cruise missiles, loitering munitions and high-speed unmanned systems, reducing dependence on overseas suppliers. For the first time, India has successfully developed an indigenous expendable turbojet engine in the 350 kg thrust class. Designed by DRDO’s Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) and manufactured by Hyderabad-based Azad Engineering, the engine was delivered to GTRE on July 22, 2026. It is a major technological milestone that could strengthen India’s future missile and drone programmes.

Yes, Gen Z crossed the line at CJP protests. But it was a mind virus

Image
Many believe Gen Zers crossed the line by abusing the prime minister at the CJP protest at Delhi and Mumbai. Actor-MP Kangana Ranaut called them the Gutter Generation. The Gen Z isn't that. Do not blame the victim for what the virus does. It is a weird juxtaposition. Actor-MP Kangana Ranaut and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. But the situation, many believe, is weirder. Gen Zers, privileged and educated, using the choicest of expletives for the prime minister of the country. They crossed the line, say many. But the reaction to that can't be a knee-jerk one — blame an entire generation and move on. The use of sexist expletives by protesters at the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP's) protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and Mumbai to attack the prime minister on camera will be difficult for anyone to try and defend. The youngsters, for once, forgot that the prime minister is the head of the government elected democratically by millions across the country. Democracy gives you t...
