PALIANYTSIA & MODI

More information about the significant new jet powered drone came to light. The most significant piece information being that the warhead is an air burst cluster munition - that spreads and accelerates the bomblets which allows more damage over a much wider area. The range seems to be around 600-800km.
Also why PALIANYTSIA? Apparently it’s a type of bread that has a distinct pronunciation in Ukrainian. So much so that a native Russian speaker cannot pronounce it correctly and it’s one of the quickest ways to identify a Russian from a Ukrainian.

Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, visited Kyiv last week. He was welcomed and given all the usual honours attached to his status as head of government. Some important agricultural deals were signed much to the benefit of Ukraine.
During the visit Modi offered to mediate between Ukraine and Russia and urged dialogue to end the war.
The temerity of the guy is almost beyond cringeworthy.
He flies to Kyiv, he must have access to the information on the war and he knows who started it. Yet he has absolutely no sympathy of concern for Ukraine at all.
Does he not realise that India - currently Russia’s largest crude oil customer - exceeding China - is directly and deliberately funding the war against Ukraine? And he stands there and asks them to talk? As though it’s their fault in the first place and Putin is just doing what he needs to do.
India has many reasons to be friendly with Russia, most of them post-colonial.
Like a lot of countries Indians were - though few are now - educated in Soviet universities and Russia was seen as an anti-colonial power (though that wasn’t really true then and it certainly isn’t now, they were just using anti-colonialism to spread communism).
India was a huge buyer of Russian arms - they were cheap and plentiful but since the war India has in effect, been cut off from its primary arms supplier.
Trade between Russia and India that isn’t oil is so small as to be statistically irrelevant.
Indian currency isn’t something Russia wants because it can’t buy anything it needs in India, and the Indians won’t pay in rubles for their oil because banking sanctions or the risk of, severely complicate issues. India has to use third and even fourth party countries to pay the Russians, though lately theirs been an increasing use of crypto currency - so much so that Russia is changing its laws to allow crypto trading on a much wider scale as its economy continues to buckle under the strain of fiscal sanctions.
Yet it’s Modi’s willingness and the ease in which he happily walks into Kyiv, all smiles and hugs and has just days before embraced Putin. He sees no irony in what India is doing. He, an elected democratic head of government cannot see past his blinders about Russia. They are both to blame in his eyes. And he sees Ukraine as a western puppet and just another example, of the never ending East-West conflict that’s raged since 1945.
Frankly I find it unforgivable that India behaves as it does. They know the difference between right and wrong and yet they sit aside and play both sides against the middle. More interested in playing mediating statesmen for their own prestige than doing what is right - while at the same time funding and prolonging the war through oil purchases in the most opportunistic and callous way possible.
