The Indian Air Force has decided to ground the entire fleet of its Mig 21s as as the investigations into the May 8 crash are still underway and the reason behind the crash is being probed.
3 civilians were killed after the wreckage of a MiG-21 fighter jet fell on a house on May 8 in Rajasthan while the pilot ejected safely, sustaining minor injuries.
Air Force officials say that the grounding is a routine procedure that is undertaken after any such tragic incidents…and that the fleets would be back in action after the checks are done.
The IAF has already constituted a Court of Inquiry to ascertain the cause of Rajasthan accident.
Mig stands for Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau of the erstwhile Soviet Union and it is a supersonic fighter jet.
Since its initial induction in 1963, India has inducted over 900 MiG-21s.
Up until the first half of 2022, the IAF operated four squadrons of MiG-21 Bison fighters, each squadron comprising around 16 to 18 aircraft.
This made the total strength of MiG-21 Bisons between 64 and 72.
But on 30th September last year, the Indian Air Force retired the No.
51 ‘swordarms’ MiG-21 fighter Squadron based in Srinagar.

The strikes in Karnataka have agitated industry leaders. They have reportedly criticised the two bandhs that were called this week over the Cauvery water dispute, one on Tuesday and one on Friday.

According to reports, the losses estimated by the industry bodies for the two-day bandh amount to ₹4,000 crore. The staggering loss is a warning pointing out that the move may Cripple the economy, which has very recently recovered from the pandemic. Also, industry bodies said that the losses may act as a hindrance to becoming a $1 trillion economy anytime soon.

Starting next year, the self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will no longer exist, as its president has issued a decree to dissolve all state institutions in the aftermath of its defeat by Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani victory led to a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh and marked the conclusion of long-standing conflicts. President Samvel Shahramanyan's decree mandates the dissolution of all institutions and organizations of the Republic of Artsakh, an entity not internationally recognized, by the beginning of the upcoming year.

Poland Will No Longer
Provide Weapons to Ukraine , Amid Grain Disputes.
Poland made the announcement
on Sept. 20, CNN reports.
We no longer transfer weapons to Ukraine because we are now arming Poland, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, via statement.
The decision comes amid a dispute between the
two countries over Ukrainian grain imports. .
Earlier this year, several EU nations temporarily banned Ukrainian grain imports to protect local farmers who feared they'd be undercut by the country's low prices.
The ban was suspended last week, but Poland, Hungary and Slovakia enacted their own restrictions against Ukrainian grain imports. .
Ukraine filed lawsuits against
each of the countries as a result.
While addressing the U.N. General Assembly on
Sept. 20, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, .
"it is alarming to see how some in Europe, some of our friends in Europe, play out solidarity in a political theater – making a thriller from the grain.".
Polish Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski refuted Zelensky's claims, saying that Poland has been "supporting Ukraine since the first days of the war.".

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said
that Poland will not accept Ukrainian grain imports,
but it will still allow passage through the country.
On the weapons front, Poland was
the first NATO member to provide Ukraine with fighter jets, NBC News reports.
It has also sent over 200 Soviet-style tanks
to the war-torn country

US Agrees to Send Controversial , Uranium Tank Rounds to Ukraine.
Fox News reports that the United States
has agreed to send depleted uranium
anti-tank rounds to support Ukraine. .
The news coms after the United Kingdom agreed
to send the controversial munitions to aid Kyiv's
counteroffensive against occupying Russian forces.
Fox News reports that the 120 mm rounds are
munitions for the 31 MIAI Abrams tanks the
U.S. has pledged to deliver to Ukraine this fall. .
The armor-piercing rounds were
first developed by the U.S. amid the
Cold War to counter Soviet tanks.
The depleted uranium used in the rounds
is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment
process necessary for creating nuclear weapons. .
According to RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher
Edward Geist, while the rounds retain some radioactive
properties, they cannot generate a nuclear reaction.
Depleted uranium is extremely dense,
which adds to its potency as a projectile. .
It’s so dense and it’s got so much
momentum that it just keeps going
through the armor — and it heats it
up so much that it catches on fire, Edward Geist, RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher, via Fox News .
In March, the U.K.'s announcement
that it would send depleted uranium rounds
was met with a Russian warning that doing so
would open the door to further escalation.
Fox News reports that Russian President
Vladimir Putin has already suggested that the war could
be escalated to the deployment of nuclear weapons.
