The Indian Armed Forces have a very limited experience of dealing with either drones or counter-drone systems in an operational environment. The Jammu attack using improvised drones was a wake-up call. Akshat Upadhyay October-December 2022 Journal of Defence Studies

These links disintegrated in the aftermath of the communist victory. T. Karki Hussain September 2022 Strategic Analysis
The Future of Energy Consumption, Security and Natural Gas: LNG in Baltic Sea Region Energy transition is defined as a structural change in energy balance when some fuels are replaced with others. This process of structural transition, however, does not lead to an ultimate replacement of fuel but a substantial reduction of its share.
