Priyanka Chopra – Virat Kohli on The Cover of 7th Anniversary Issue of HELLO! India

BHGSG News - TORONTO, Canada - April 28, 2014: Indian firebrand cricketer Virat Kohli features alongside actress Priyanka Chopra in the seventh anniversary cover of Hello! magazine.

The fiery Indian vice-captain is not only one of the best batsmen in the world but he has garnered a brand value over the recent past.

Kohli has surpassed Sachin Tendulkar in the ad time occupied on television, also leaving behind captain MS Dhoni.

The batsman is India's heartthrob at the moment on and off the field.

But Virat loses his shine while sharing the frame with actress Priyanka Chopra.

The "Exotic" lady is a style diva and stands out even in the most simplest of outfits.

The former Miss World is seen wearing a crop top over a full-length deep plum-coloured skirt with a long slit, flaunting her long legs.

Priyanka pulled back her hair in a ponytail; lips complimenting her plum skirt and she finishes the job with minimal accessories. The actress puts on heels that can kill (if her looks don't do the job).

In the clash of strong personalities Priyanka stands out in the cover shoot.

Lack of chemistry between the two is clearly visible; maybe shooting separately didn't help the cause.

Earlier, Virat had shot a TV ad with his alleged girlfriend Anushka Sharma for a hair product. Sparks flew in the set and the result of the fireworks is known to all.

Reports of a raging romance between Anushka and Virat often make it to the gossip columns.

Looking at the Hello! cover, Anushka will be more than happy for the cold chemistry.

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Top Air Force General Doesn't Know If F-22 Successor Will Even Fly

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - April 24, 2014: Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh doesn't know if the successor to the F-22 Raptor, the Air Force's fifth generation fighter, will fly.

"I don't even know that it's an airplane," Welsh told reporters Wednesday morning. "I wouldn't try and characterize it or describe it. I have no idea yet what it's going to look like, even is, whether it flies, or whether it's a combination of things — just don't know."

Welsh said that Air Force officials have to begin thinking about "what does air superiority look like 30 years from now" because the government doesn't react quickly enough to be prepared with the necessary technology if the research doesn't begin very far in advance.

Lockheed Martin, which made the F-22, would like the fighter's successor to have "greater speed, range, stealth and self-healing structures; developments that will require new breakthroughs in propulsion, materials, power generation and weapon technology," according to a 2012 report from Air Force Technology.

The development of the F-22 was undermined by high costs, though. "Alarmed by soaring costs, the Defense Department shut down production last year after spending $67.3 billion on just 188 planes -- leaving the Air Force to rely mainly on its fleet of 30-year-old conventional fighters," the Los Angeles Times noted in 2013.

"The Air Force began laying plans to build the F-22 in the early 1980s. A decade later, it estimated it would take nine years and $12.6 billion to develop the jet, but it ended up taking 19 years and costing $26.3 billion, not including the production of any aircraft. By the time production was completed, the F-22 cost an average of $412 million each, up from the original estimate of $149 million."

DTN News - CHINA SPACE NEWS: China Takes The Fight To Space

DTN News - CHINA SPACE NEWS: China Takes The Fight To Space
*The 21st-century battlefield in East Asia might not be on water or air, but in space.

Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by K. V. Seth from reliable sources By Michael Auslin
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - April 22, 2014: The debate over U.S. military presence in Asia usually centers on traditional areas like water or air. Yet Chinese President Xi Jinping has provided evidence that military competition may be shifting from ships and planes to space. He showcased China's military priorities when last week he encouraged his country's air force to better integrate its air and space capabilities. Although not as dramatic as President John F. Kennedy's 1961 call for a U.S. mission to the Moon, the Chinese leader's desire to expand the realm of military competition are clear. Washington should prepare for crippling attacks on satellites and other communications systems before it is too late.

China's plan to militarize its space activities has been in development for years. Its space program is controlled by its military, unlike in the U.S., where military services and NASA have separate agencies and leadership. Repeated Pentagon reports in recent years on China's military activities have noted the country has built up the means of disabling foreign satellites. And technological advantages have been growing steadily.

China shocked the world in 2007 by successfully destroying one of its aging weather satellites, demonstrating an anti-satellite capability that few nations can match. That test created a cloud of debris that continues to bedevil satellites and the International Space Station. Beijing also tested what is widely believed to have been a new, mobile-launched anti-satellite missile last May.

By comparison, the Pentagon has no formal anti-satellite system under development. And at a time when America's exploration program of the Moon has ended, China's has just begun. Its "Jade Rabbit" moon rover, the first Earth vehicle to visit the lunar surface in almost 40 years, successfully landed last December. Although Jade Rabbit broke down halfway through its planned three-month mission—highlighting the complexities of sustained space programs—China's goal remains to execute a manned mission to the Moon and possibly even establish a lunar base.

Which gets to Mr. Xi's high-profile exhortation last week that he will guide his country's growing technological expertise toward making space another dimension of the battlefield. How might Beijing integrate its air and space capabilities, and to what end? This is where both American homeland security and military planners need to be concerned.

There are currently only 30 operational GPS satellites operated by the U.S. Any Chinese ability to target those satellites could potentially disrupt, if not cripple, GPS operations on which everything from weather reporting to civil aviation to smartphone apps rely. That would impose huge costs on the American economy and potentially shut down entire industries. It is the 21st century version of saturation bombing, designed to target civilians and break their will to resist.

Similarly, Mr. Xi is moving China into a position where it could deny U.S. military forces their one unquestioned global advantage: a networked battle system. The U.S. Air Force operates around 20 advanced satellite communications systems.

Targeting those and some GPS satellites could make U.S. military operations difficult, if not impossible, to undertake. It could eliminate the effectiveness of precision-guided munitions. The U.S. Congress has become so concerned about this vulnerability that it requested that the Pentagon run studies on the ability of the U.S. military to operate in communications-denied environments.

Offensive space weapons would undoubtedly be employed in conjunction with China's advanced cyber warfare capabilities. By blinding satellites while knocking down computer networks through distributed denials of service, Beijing could effectively prevent U.S. forces from operating in Asia and beyond. This is what the Chinese call "war under informationized conditions," a twist on the "joint operations" that the U.S. military touts. The potential of such an attack is not based on military branches, but on capabilities.

Consider the threat of increased space presence to some of Asia's flashpoints. Blinding some of America's spy satellites could deprive policy makers of timely intelligence on Chinese naval and air moves to threaten foreign-held territory, such as the disputed Senkaku Islands. Introducing just enough uncertainty to delay American or joint allied decision-making could give Chinese forces the margin of success necessary to present Washington with a fait accompli. It would undoubtedly be even easier to isolate and interrupt the military activities of America's smaller allies, leaving Washington with a heavier burden.

The trend is clear: President Obama may want to shrink the military and surrender America's lead in space, but China is moving in the opposite direction. Eventually, Beijing will have a lead. At that point, American policy makers will be forced on the defensive while grasping to connect the dots of seemingly disparate events in space and cyberspace. America prides itself on being the world's technological powerhouse, but that is a diminishing advantage when others have a clearer view of why they are aiming at the stars.

DTN News - RUSSIA DEFENSE NEWS: Russia’s Reliance on Ukraine For Military Hardware Raises Fears

DTN News - RUSSIA DEFENSE NEWS: Russia’s Reliance on Ukraine For Military Hardware Raises Fears

Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by K. V. Seth from reliable sources By Jan Cienski in Warsaw - FT.com
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - April 21, 2014: The Motor Sich plant in Zaporozhia, 230km west of Donetsk, makes the engines for most Russian military helicopters, including the Mi-24, which has been used to patrol the border with Ukraine in the recent troop build-up.

But the Russian air force’s dependence on the Motor Sich plant is causing concern for military strategists.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin moved swiftly to annex Crimea, in the first land grab in Europe since the second world war, and EU and US are worried over Moscow’s intentions elsewhere in Ukraine.

Ukraine also makes the gears used in many Russian ships and transport planes at the Antonov factory in Kiev. The Yuzhmash factory in Dnipropetrovsk, in south-central Ukraine, designs, produces and maintains Russia’s SS-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles as well as components for its space rockets.

Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist who was an adviser to the Kremlin in the 1990s and to Ukraine a decade ago, says the reliance on Ukraine could be a factor in any Russian invasion.

“The military-industrial complex in Russia has been very strongly in favour of incursion into Ukraine and wants to annex southeast Ukraine to take control of those plants,” said Mr Aslund, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington.

Without engines from Motor Sich, Russia’s plans of adding as many as 1,000 attack helicopters to its fleet becomes much more difficult. Russia has been working to develop its own engine plants, but is still heavily dependent on Ukrainian production.

Ukraine was a core part of the Soviet Union’s industrial might. After the collapse of the USSR, about a third of the Soviet defence industry was left in Ukraine. Today, about 40 per cent of Ukraine’s exports to Russia consist of machinery and armaments, according to Mr Aslund.

Russia is engaged in a 10-year rearmament programme worth about Rbs23tn ($646bn). Initially, some of that was to be bought from abroad, such as two Mistral amphibious assault ships being built in France. Those orders are now threatened by potential sanctions.

“Russia will have no choice but to move towards a more autarchical model for its military purchases,” said Andrew Michta, of the Centre for European Policy Analysis, a Washington think-tank.

But in the conclusion to its report on the Ukrainian defence industry, Rusi says the invasion of Ukraine by Russia to capture production of military equipment would be “a very 19th-century way of looking at a 21st-century relationship”.

Rusi added that even that extreme scenario could not be ruled out in current circumstances.
