According to the Indians, the Transport Minister owns 18 farms used to make ethanol. India is increasing ethanol fuel blend to 20% at the end of 2025 and to 27% by 2030.

The funny thing is the Indian Gov save money by spending less on petroleum but none of it is passed down to consumers. Indians now get to enjoy using fuel on cars not rated for 20-27% ethanol while getting less fuel mileage.

The whole idea of using food for making fuel is problematic.

India sells food for money. It is a net food exporter, it is even one of the largest exporters of beef.

India processes food into fuel for driving cars in a country where less than 10% of the population owns cars.

The one thing India doesn't seem to use much food for is feeding Indians, who are at critical on the World Hunger Index.

I am surprised Indians tolerate this.

They can tolerate a caste system that says you and your family are garbage from the day you were born nothing you can do to change it even if you cure cancer.

So they can tolerate a lot of stuff. Well except taking actual accountability for their own actions. It's always someone one else's fault.

I could see China buy some VDV vehicle equipment for evaluation some time ago. But right now China has better equipment which was shown in the parade.
The Russians do have extensive historical experience with developing paratroopers since before WW2. And they have the largest paratrooper forces in the world.
But honestly the experience in Ukraine showed it is too dangerous to do paradrops. It is much better to insert troops fully kitted and ready to go with low altitude penetrating heliborne assaults.
If a landing strip can be captured then equipment can be delivered. In the case of Gostomel airport the first part worked but the second did not.
You are not paying attention to this Ukraine. daily Russia forces are drop behind Ukranian lines but it does not mean they will engage Ukranian. they blend into population and missile or drone strikes happens much later. (probably to make foreigners lose confidence on Ukrainians). first video is about electronic attack on Ukrainians using choppers. the second video is of using direct attack. but none of these choppers have those large fuel tanks of Mi-171SH Storm version which even has some kind of barrel bomb.(red cap) and much larger fuel tank for deep infiltration some versions have full glass cockpit and some are semi glass. The point i am making is fighting a pro long conflict with long distance choppers 24/7 has never been implemented on this scale.

They are too hungry to protest.
