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.

Top 5 Records Held By India In Asia Cup History

Six Asian cricketing giants will square off in Asia Cup 2023, starting August 30. Here are the top five records held by India in the tournament’s history. 

India has had a strong presence in the ODI trophy since their first win in 1984. They continued their success with back-to-back titles in 1988, 1990, and 1995. By 2010, they solidified their dominance by securing their fifth ODI trophy in Sri Lanka. 

India has 16 individual ODI centuries in the tournament. Virat Kohli has three centuries in the continental cricket competition. 

In the T20 format of the tournament, India’s score of 212/2 against Afghanistan is the highest total. 

The 2012 match against India’s arch-rivals Pakistan in Mirpur is still remembered for the impressive run-chase. Facing a huge target of 330, a young Virat Kohli stepped up to the challenge and scored an incredible 183. 

India’s dominance in the T20I format in Asia Cup is unmatchable. The Men in Blue have won eight out of 10 matches in 2016 and 2022 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. 

Some other records by Indian players include the most wicketkeeper dismissals (36 by MS Dhoni in 19 matches) and most catches in a series (6 by Shikhar Dhawan in Asia Cup 2018).
