If India can send a Mars mission for US$74m, it can make some drones for the same price. Effective or not...no idea lah.

Since the assault, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia's Vladimir Putin, expressing concern over the violence.

Critics have been forthright in condemning India's balancing act.

"India's careful, avoid angering Putin at all costs response despite Russia's blatant aggression vs Ukraine highlights that it remains unprepared to step up to major power responsibilities or be a dependable partner," foreign relations expert Richard Haass tweeted.

"Disappointing as well as short-sighted given rise of China."

The diplomatic frenzy comes as India embarks on an air evacuation exercise for thousands of its students stranded in Ukraine after the Russian assault on the capital Kyiv and other cities.

On Saturday, the first batch of some 200 Indian students that arrived on a special flight expressed relief and joy after touchdown in Mumbai.

DONBASS CONFLICT. Russia Plans to Boost Separatist Support, Says Ukraine. Zelenskiy.

APPEAL TO ALLY. Ukraine's Zelenskiy Seeks US, Biden's Support and on NATO.

More than 90% of drones are made in China.

Even Pentagon have problem finding alternatives!


Pentagon drones ‘8 to 14 times’ costlier than banned Chinese craft
