I am looking for reliable sources of structured data, such as Json/csv/sql files, or any other similar resources like Web Applications, GitHub Repositories, or APIs that can provide accurate hardware information related to military equipment, such as aircraft variants, ships, submarines, weapon systems, sensors, radar systems, and more.

Additionally, I would appreciate any suggestions for efficient tools, databases, applications, or approaches that can help visualize or provide access to these structured data, enabling querying or CRUD operations

That's probably a tall ask, ngl. The format of the data is probably the least of your concern. Instead, it's probably "if you can even get your filthy unclassed civvie hand on that sort of data". And honestly, even if there is a repository of said data, never mind being structured, you should probably still take it with a grain of salt (the grain size whereof is the chunk that they haul out of salt mine). After all, there is a reason why all the real data are hidden behind TS/SCI with a bunch of cool words after it.

That being said, IIRC Tempest was looking to build something like that a while ago. But given the recent sh*tshow with the D*scord intel leak, and the semi-forced retirement (at least persona-wise) of our resident (?) Umineko enjoyer, I think you'll have to wait for a long time (up to and including the heat death of the universe).

I am looking for information for the DTB HE ammunition used on the Chinese 125mm tank gun.

I remember they firing at a mock T-80 tank and concluding that the ammunition was effective in destroying the tank.
Can anyone provide me with the original Chinese information or English information?

Where did the shell hit? Was there any Era or base T-80?

They used a 59 or 69 tank and welded a lot of steel plates for the front to simulate the frontal protection of the T-80, I forget if they used ERA or not.
I saw someone claim that they simulated a protection level of T-80U, but I can't find the original Chinese information.

Have been hearing this word hundreds if not thousands of times but what does it really mean? "जय हिन्द Jai Hind" (Google translate only translates it into Jai Hind).

Have been hearing this word hundreds if not thousands of times but what does it really mean? "जय हिन्द Jai Hind" (Google translate only translates it into Jai Hind).

From Wikipedia:

Jai Hind is a salutation and slogan that originally meant "Victory to Hindustan" and is now used colloquially to mean "Long live India" or "Salute to India". It was coined by Champakaraman Pillai during India's independence movement from British rule and emerged as a battle cry and in political speeches.1 The word "jai" is derived from the Sanskrit word "jaya", which means "triumph, victory, cheers, bravo, rejoice".

When you see it on this forum, it is usually used sarcastically.
Query: 100 Year old British built bridge collapses a month after India "rennovates" it.
Response: Jai Hind

Yeah, I understand the sarcasms but I want to find out the real meaning of that word.

I interpret the chant as "Go India!" while others define it as "Victory to Hindustan" where Hindustan represents modern-day India.
