Bloomberg reports: China is strongly advising domestic automakers to ensure advanced electric vehicle technology stays at home, even as they build factories around the world to evade punitive tariffs on Chinese exports, people familiar with the matter said. China's Commerce Ministry held a meeting with more than a dozen automakers in July and told them they should not make any auto-related investments in India, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named, a move aimed at once again protecting Chinese electric vehicles. know-how in the automotive industry and reduce regulatory risk.

The Indian Military as a whole can't seem to catch a break. One of the IA Navy MQ-9 drone purchased from the U.S. (at a steep price) has crashed, and it's been alleged that the drone wasn't even operated by the IA Navy but be General Atomics personnel.
While the Indian Army is getting severe criticism from their defense enthusiast upon seeing the mishmash of uniforms worn by their soldiers during the Indian Army's exercise with it's U.S. counterparts. The helmet is straight up vintaged WWII, boots that are described as rudimentary and the ongoing utilization of INSAS rifle that should have been phased out years ago.

More and more western military powers are conducting "INTEROPERABILITY EXERCISES" with the Indian Military; in this case, with the Indian Army being trained or cross training with the French Army.
Here's the exercise with the U.S. Army
Interoperability in my view only strengthen my suspicions that India is being groomed by NATO led countries to counter act China and ultimately be used against China circa 8 Nations Alliance.
Highly disappointing but understandable from India's perspective because they view themselves as the dominant power with its own hemisphere deserving of their own sphere of influence lest it be reduced to minor power under China's imposing presence. They might as well hitch with the west because they almost share the same world views, political systems, and economic preferences. They'd rather be with the devil they know than the devil they aren't sure will last and a race they assumed to have dominance over.

Indian Army rescue operation training at Ladakh sector. I don't know if the troops that participated are special forces type or the regular troops assigned on this region being equipped better compared to their regular counterparts in the Indian Army, not to mention their camp looks different from their usual combat fatigued I am used to seeing.

How credible is this? Who wants some old Indian T-72 tanks?
Any old T-72 from India is most likely gonna be trashed and dirty. I don't think it's wise to trust the Indian "upgrade and refurbishment" work. Chances are, those tanks are not gonna drive for long. Better for those tanks to go back to Russia for restoration, or just prepare to scrap them. Nevertheless, if anyone is looking for bargain T-72s, and couldn't care less about their condition, this might be decent deal.
India might also start selling their old BMP-2s in the future. Good luck to anyone who is gonna buy them and ride in them.
