Global fuel prices jumped by 20 per cent in 2026, while transit fares saw a minor 6 per cent hike. Commuters are rapidly shifting to buses, metro networks, and carpooling to reduce daily expenses.

Is switching to public transit actually cheaper than buying fuel right now?

Night driving in summer saves fuel. Cooler, denser air improves engine combustion, while a reduced air conditioning load offsets the minor energy used by headlights.

‘Night driving’: Does avoiding the hot summer sun save fuel?

Carrying heavy luggage and rooftop cargo boxes during summer trips increases wind resistance and engine strain, leading to a noticeable drop in vehicle fuel efficiency.

Does a heavily loaded car on summer trips waste more fuel?

Israel's Blue Sparrow missile hits targets from 2,000 kilometres away without internet. It uses a built-in Inertial Navigation System to calculate speed and direction, ensuring precise strikes even when enemy forces jam GPS and external signals.

Why Israel's Blue Sparrow missile needs no internet to find its target

Unit 8200 used years of cyber surveillance to track Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Hacked networks helped the 2,000 km range Blue Sparrow missile bypass his deep Tehran bunker in a fatal daylight strike.

The Blue Sparrow missile flies to the edge of space and drops vertically at extreme speeds. This unique top-down trajectory blinds conventional radars, leaving air defences with no time to intercept.

Why Israel's Blue Sparrow missile gave Iran almost zero time to react

F-15 fighter jets launch the 1.9-tonne Blue Sparrow missile to the edge of space. Its quasi-ballistic, vertical descent at supersonic speeds makes it nearly invisible to conventional air defence radars, ensuring pinpoint precision strikes.

Which Israeli fighter jet can launch Blue Sparrow missiles?

Israel's Blue Sparrow missile evades air defences by travelling to the edge of space. It drops vertically at hypersonic speeds, bypassing radars with zero reaction time.

Why traditional air defenses are useless against Israel's Blue Sparrow missile

Israel's Blue Sparrow is an air-launched ballistic missile that travels to the edge of space before plunging vertically onto its target. This steep, high-speed descent makes it nearly impossible for conventional air defence systems to intercept.


'Deadly trajectory': Why Blue Sparrow missiles are nearly impossible to shoot down

US sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are writing their names on 2,000-pound bombs headed for Iran. This marks the continuation of an ancient military tradition as the US conducts heavy airstrikes during Operation Epic Fury.

'Names on the bombs': Why USS Abraham Lincoln sailors are writing on weapons headed for Iran

The USS Abraham Lincoln uses a layered defence of missiles, rotary cannons, and electronic warfare to counter Iranian Shahed drones. However, intercepting $35,000 drones with $2 million missiles presents a major economic and tactical challenge.

Can the USS Abraham Lincoln really survive a massive wave of Iranian suicide drones?

The USS Abraham Lincoln uses Aegis-equipped escorts, electronic jammers, 64mm Kevlar armour, and 30-knot speeds to defend against missiles, making the 100,000-ton carrier nearly impossible to sink.
