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.

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.

India All-rounder Hardik Pandya Turns 30. A Look at His Career

Eden Hazard on Tuesday (Oct 10) announced his retirement from professional football, aged 32, after playing more than 700 matches for both club and country.

After taking a year to settle in the Premier League, Hazard fired Chelsea to their first PL title since 2010 during the 2014-15 season.

Hazard blasted 16 goals and five assists to fire Chelsea to another Premier League title in 2016-17.

One of Hazard's most stunning solo goals came against Liverpool at Anfield in 2018. His goal helped Chelsea come from behind and dump the Reds out of EFL Cup.

Hazard departed Stamford Bridge by scoring a brace and assisting another goal to secure Europa League trophy for Chelsea in 2019. 

Although the move didn't work in hindsight, it was a huge moment for Hazard as he was prized away by Los Blancos for $107 million in June 2019.
