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.

UFC's Jon Jones Reacts to Tom Aspinall's Callout

A Successful Interim Title Defence for Aspinall

UFC interim Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall (United Kingdom) successfully defended his title with a 60-second knockout of Curtis Blaydes (United States) in the first round of their fight at UFC 304.

Following his victory, Aspinall called out current Heavyweight champion Jon Jones (United States). "I'm the best heavyweight in the world. Prove me wrong Jon. If you think you are, prove me wrong. Simple, nothing personal, I'm hating nobody. I'm the best heavyweight in the world, if you think you are, let's settle it," the Englishman said in a social media post.

Jones, the former UFC Light Heavyweight champion and one of the greatest MMA fighters, has not fought since he won the Heavyweight title at UFC 285 on March 4. The American is facing criticism for not fighting Aspinall and rather seeking to defend his title against Stipe Miocic.

Jones has now reacted to Aspinall's callout. In a nine-word post on X, he said, "Supply and demand at its finest, I love it." While it's not clear what Jones meant by his message, fans have said that he should face the Englishman. "Fight Aspinall. Literally, nobody cares about you vs Stipe anymore," a user on X wrote.

The Surfing events take place in the French territory of Tahiti, which is 9,320 miles (15,000 km) from Paris. It's the farthest Olympic competition to be held outside of a host city since 1956.

Olympians who win a medal will take home a real piece of the Eiffel Tower. Fragments of iron that were removed & preserved during renovations to the Eiffel Tower during the 20th century have been infused into the medals. Each medal includes 18 grams (0.04 pounds) of the Eiffel iron.

‘I’m the King of This’: Jake Paul Challenges Alex Pereira to a Boxing Match

Social media influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul (United States) is making his mark in the world of combat sports. Paul has had 11 boxing fights of which he has won 10 and lost 1. The majority of his opponents have been retired MMA fighters. Recently, Paul secured a victory against Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) fighter Mike Perry (United States).

After defeating Perry, Paul expressed his desire to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson (United States) and then take on UFC Light Heavyweight and former Middleweight champion Alex Pereira (Brazil). “Alex Pereira, you said you want to box, I’m the king of this. Come over, we can make it happen,” Paul said.

Moments after his victory over Perry, Paul made a FaceTime call to Pereira where he asked if the UFC champion could get out of contract with the UFC to box. “Let’s go, let’s go my brother,” the Brazilian responded and said UFC President Dana White would let him out of his UFC contract.

Currently competing in the UFC, Pereira has been a world-class kickboxer and won the Glory title in two weight classes. The Brazilian has also fought as a professional boxer.

1. 7 different winners in 7 different F1 races

2012 is remembered as arguably one of the best seasons in the sport's history given the title battle between Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso that went down to the final race. However, it will also go down as one of the most unique seasons as it produced seven different race winners in the first seven races.

Max Verstappen became the youngest driver in F1 history by entering the sport aged 17 years and 166 days. He went on to score his first points in the second race in 2015.

The 2011 Canadian GP will be regarded as one of the best races in F1 history given the twists and turns throughout its four-hour duration. The race saw many stoppages and red flags due to the torrential rain in Montreal.

Former McLaren driver Jenson Button was given a 70-place grid drop at the 2015 Mexican Grand Prix for changing numerous parts on his car including a power unit. The penalty was a bit excessive as there were only 20 grid positions in the sport. 

The number of cars that took part in the 1953 German GP would likely never be surpassed; as many as 34 cars took to the grid. Given FIA's decree of only 26 cars being allowed and the cost of entering the sport, it would be nearly impossible to break this record.

Artem, Last to Beat Pereira in Kickboxing, Set to Enter UFC

Russian kickboxer Artem Vakhitov is set to make his entry into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). A Light Heavyweight champion in Glory, Vakhitov defeated Alex Pereira (Brazil) at Glory 78 in Rotterdam. Pereira is the current UFC Light Heavyweight champion and former Middleweight champion.

A recent report by MMA Fighting said that Vakhitov is seeking to earn a UFC contract when he takes part in Dana White’s Contender Series on October 8 in Las Vegas.

Till now, Vakhitov has fought three MMA fights of which he has won two and lost one. The Russian has also competed in Muay Thai.

Vakhitov told MMA Fighting that Pereira had no defence. The Brazilian reacted by saying that the Russian seemed to be a bit lost.

India-Pakistan Cricket: 6 Biggest Controversies of All Time

India and Pakistan cricket matches are often high-stakes encounters that come with intense emotions and sometimes controversies. Here are some of the biggest controversies in India-Pakistan cricket history.

The match itself was highly charged, and tensions were running high. During the game, Aamir Sohail hit a boundary off Venkatesh Prasad and gestured towards the bowler, provoking him. In the next delivery, Prasad clean-bowled Sohail, leading to a memorable confrontation.

During the Test match, Sachin Tendulkar’s dismissal by Shoaib Akhtar had sparked controversy. This was because he was given out despite replays suggesting otherwise, which sparked significant debates. Pakistan won that match.

Shoaib Akhtar's "controversial" delivery to Sachin Tendulkar was a major talking point. However, Tendulkar's incredible batting performance, especially his uppercut six off Akhtar, overshadowed the controversy, but the tension during the match was palpable.

The final was marred by controversy when Misbah-ul-Haq’s scoop shot was caught, leading to India’s victory. There was much debate over whether the shot selection was appropriate and the pressure that led to it.

Gautam Gambhir and Kamran Akmal had a heated exchange during the match, resulting in an on-field confrontation. The incident required intervention from the umpires and senior players to calm things down.

The semifinal match had high political and emotional stakes, with former Indian PM Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani attending. Controversy surrounded the dismissal of Sachin Tendulkar, who was not given out by the third umpire despite a seemingly clear edge which led to many debates.
