The Car Nicobar Class fast attack craft (FAC) of the Indian Navy were built between 2007-2011 to secure India's coastline. They are the first water jet propelled ships of the Indian Navy, with a length of 52m and displacement of 325t. Armed with a 30mm auto-cannon and machine guns, they also have anti-submarine capability. With a crew of 39, the 10 ships provide coastal security and patrol India's coastline and territorial waters.
The Indian Air Force was established in 1932 under British rule as the Royal Indian Air Force. It has since been involved in several wars and conflicts with Pakistan and China. The IAF underwent significant changes after its failures in the 1962 war with China and the 1965 war with Pakistan. These changes included inducting new third generation fighter aircraft like the Marut, Mig-21, and Sukhoi Su-7. In the 1971 war with Pakistan, the IAF played a decisive role through air superiority and over 6000 sorties, destroying over 110 Pakistani aircraft. The IAF's main fighter aircraft currently include the Sukhoi 30, Mirage 2000, and Mig-29, and it is one of the largest air forces
The Knox Class frigates were designed as anti-submarine warfare platforms for the United States Navy, with 46 ships commissioned between 1969-1974. Equipped with hull-mounted sonars and a helicopter deck, the frigates are also armed with missiles, torpedoes, and a naval gun. Powered by a steam turbine generating 26MW, the Knox Class frigates have a maximum speed of 27 knots and dimensions of 133.5m long, 14.3m wide, and 7.5m draft. Several remain in service today with the navies of Taiwan, Mexico, Turkey, Thailand, and Egypt.

This document provides an overview of aeromodelling (RC aircraft), including its history, applications, how to fly a plane, design, parts, and costs. Aeromodelling involves unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that fly without a human pilot on board and gives an understanding of engineering skills used in real aircraft. The first UAV was developed in 1917 as a crude motorized bomb and they were initially used for risky military operations. Now, UAVs are used for military, weather monitoring, transport, armed attacks, search and rescue, and education applications. Learning to fly a plane involves understanding Bernoulli's principle of pressure changes with velocity to create lift. The major parts of a plane include the fusel
The document discusses military defence technology and the SEPECAT Jaguar fighter plane. It provides background on defence R&D organizations like DRDO in India and describes several of their key projects. It then focuses on introducing the SEPECAT Jaguar, describing its origins as a joint British-French project, specifications, and role as a jet attack aircraft used by air forces like India. Key details covered include its engines, cockpit, production history, and India's purchase of the aircraft.
The Indian Armed Forces consists of three branches: the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force. The Indian Army is the largest branch and has around 1.2 million active personnel. It is led by the Chief of Army Staff and has operational commands across India. The Indian Navy has around 67,000 active personnel and 150 ships and submarines. Its primary roles are coastal defense and power projection. The Indian Air Force has around 170,000 personnel and a fleet of aircraft including Rafale, Su-30MKI, and MiG-21 fighters. The branches work together to defend India and have participated in several conflicts with neighboring countries.

RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
UN WOD 2024 will take us on a journey of discovery through the ocean's vastness, tapping into the wisdom and expertise of global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains. The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.
