    Boy, 14, creates nuclear reactor in his bedroom

    Seems to be a glorified (very good) model of a reactor with no net energy output. When it demonstrates fusion, it'll be more than a model, but still 'useless' and done before by amateurs.

    Lockheed unveils new F-21 fighter jet configured for India

    What a joke. This isn't meant to beat Rafale, but a good attempt at killing Mk2/MWF. Note the timing. Boeing partnered with HAL and Mahindra to make F/A-18.

    India media tests drive the China SAIC cars and feel excited on the Chinese vehicles

    MG Motors under SAIC may be good or bad, but almost all "review" videos currently available are sponsored by SAIC. The reviewers are sometimes paid handsomely and always flown around. Wait till proper launch to have better feedback.

    Question about bird-hits on aeroplanes

    You can have hydraulic mesh and alternate intake systems like in fighters, but it causes weight and complication, a big deal in commercial aviation. These will prevent only low level hits anyway. It's better to certify engines that can withstand some bird hits, which is what they do. This...

    HAL floats RFI for Tejas Mk2

    Well, no Tejas even has LERX, so I assumed he's talking about the slats. Both slats and LERX are LEX. So.. Unless he's talking about the Levcons like you said. It seems he did mean Levcons by "moving LERX". Wrong in any case.

    HAL floats RFI for Tejas Mk2

    Mk2 is longer and heavier. If there's an issue with energy in Mk1, you should see a change in Mk1A. Just some ballast removal and rearrangement in Mk1A.

    Pulsar 180F set to launch. Design is the same as 220F, except a few things. 220F fanboys will be mad. End of the legendary era.

    Kerala and Tamil Nadu are quiet champions of India

    Keralam and Tamil Nadu had some of the shortest periods of foreign rule, although they had some of the longest periods of foreign contact. Live long the Republic of India, but can't ignore the millennia of history where these two regions had different colours from the rest.

    I don't get it. Which part of the report seems like a bloat on the LCA? Other than some opinions on the R&D agencies.

    PAC Target Drones

    I know what target drones are. But they also work as a cheap alternative for weapon delivery. Can also be used to test the munitions. DRDO Lakshya was tested with PGM, CEP of 20m. There's also a reconnaissance variant. There are also TOW targets, but they're generally bigger.

    PAC Target Drones

    Weaponised target drones are used for testing the weapons or simply as an armed drone if the situation arises.
