How the S-400 protects itself from enemy attacks

The Su-30 fighter jet reaches a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 (2,125 km/h) at high altitudes, powered by twin AL-31FP turbofans. While canards and heavy ordnance like the BrahMos missile reduce this speed, it trades pure velocity for extreme agility.

How fast can the Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet really fly?

The German Tiger I earned a terrifying reputation in the Second World War for its thick armour and devastating 88 mm gun. However, military archives reveal that Allied anti-tank guns rarely destroyed these 54-tonne machines in combat. Instead, relentless mechanical breakdowns, severe fuel shortages, and extreme towing difficulties forced German crews to abandon and scuttle their own tanks.

What actually killed most German Tiger tanks in World War II?

Introduced in 1942 and fighting until May 1945, the legendary German Tiger I tank had an operational combat lifespan of less than three years before the war ended.

World Cup 2023: Ind Vs Nz Players to Watch Out for

World Cup 2023, IND Vs NZ Semi Final - Players To Watch Out For



Pereira is the New Light Heavyweight Champion 

Alex Pereira, the Brazilian kickboxing prodigy, is now the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion after defeating Jiri Prochazka (Czechia) by knockout in the second round at UFC 295 held at the Madison Square Garden, New York. 
Pereira, the former UFC Middleweight champion, has now become the ninth fighter in the league’s history to become a champion in two weight classes. 


Aspinall Becomes Interim Heavyweight Champion after Round 1 TKO Win 


Tom Aspinall gained a first-round victory over Sergei Pavlovich to become the interim UFC Heavyweight champion. With this victory, Aspinall is now 7-1 in the UFC and might soon become the division champion.

Five fighters won the Performance of the Night award at UFC 295: Alex Pereira (Light Heavyweight), Tom Aspinall (Heavyweight), Jessica Andrade (Women’s Strawweight), Benoît Saint Denis (Lightweight), and Diego Lopes (Featherweight).


Which Bout was Awarded Fight of the Night?


The Lightweight fight between Nazim Sadykhov (Azerbaijan) and Viacheslav Borshchev (Russia) was the Fight of the Night at UFC 295. 

UFC 295: A Look At The Key Highlights 

Pereira vs Procházka: Who wins UFC Light Heavyweight title? 

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 295 will be held on Nov 12 and the main event is the Light Heavyweight title clash between Alex Pereira (Brazil) and Jiri Procházka (Czechia).


Pereira has ten fights in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) so far with eight wins and two losses. Procházka, on the other hand, is more experienced in MMA with 33 fights, which include 29 wins, three losses, and one draw. 

Both fighters are elite strikers in the world of combat sports. Even though Procházka presents a knockout threat, Pereira would be a difficult opponent for him as the Brazilian is a kickboxing veteran and held the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight titles in Glory before he switched to MMA. 

Pereira is also the former UFC Middleweight champion. 

Pereira has a significant striking accuracy of 62%, while Procházka's rate is 55%. However, the Czech has a slightly better figure of significant strikes landed per minute at 5.77 compared to Pereira who is at 5.11. 

Both fighters are elite strikes and rarely grapple or wrestle. But Procházka has an edge given his greater experience in MMA and he was the previous UFC Light Heavyweight champion after defeating Brazil’s Glover Teixeira by submission. 

Who is the next Light Heavyweight King? 


It’s a difficult contest for sure and both fighters will likely stay on their feet. Procházka has more MMA experience and presents a greater knockout and grappling threat. But Pereira quickly earned a name for himself in the UFC, and his devastating left hook and unusual low kicks would be extremely challenging for the Czech. 

Prediction: Pereira wins by knockout or Procházka wins by submission.

After defeating South Africa on Sunday by 243 runs, India registered its eighth consecutive win in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Here is the list of most consecutive wins in a single world cup.
