My sister from Toronto used to tell me that US & Canada imports seasonal fruits like mango from India in large quantities and generally they are very good quality and priced higher there than what we get here locally. Even cashews are imported from India which are of big sizes it seems. What we get here locally are what's left of exported cashews. Palasa in AP is a trade center for cashews and I have palasa friend who says they regularly export big & excellent quality cashews to US, Canada & EU but sell other qualities to local markets.
And then sea food like Tiger Prawns are grown in my native district and along other coastal districts of AP. My mama grows in 22 acres of Tiger Prawns every year and big hatcheries come and collect them from other farmers like my mama and pays them later. BMR Hatcheries is a big name in Nellore with owned lands amounting into hundreds of acres and even have own hatcheries in Pondicherry. BMR exports Tiger Prawns after carefully selecting top quality ones to US and Canada.
So many other grown foods we export to US and Canada every month.

Saudi Arabia Wins Over Trump With Trillion-Dollar Bid
President Donald Trump: "I'm going to Saudi Arabia. I made a deal with Saudi Arabia. I'd usually go to the U.K. first. Last time I went to Saudi Arabia they put up $450 billion. I said well, this time they've gotten richer, we've all gotten older so I said I'll go if you pay $1 trillion to American companies, meaning the purchase over a four-year period of $ 1 trillion and they've agreed to do that. So, I'm going to be going there. I have a great relationship with them, and they've been very nice but they're going to be spending a lot of money to American companies for buying military equipment and a lot of other things."

Got any sources. Didn't know we were in talks with them for merkavas or was it only engines?
We'll buy some hardware from them too. This is no issue at all.
Nothing? Really?

Same government has been doing so for the last ten years. Trump or no Trump

It would seem we went with the Russian offer because it came with the required ToT to make indigenously.Was for engine it seems.

I think the Israeli version would have handled heat in the desert better but no ToT
Any case Army knows what they are doing and what they need
Trophy has proven itself in the recent Gaza conflict. Every time hamas would sneak out of tunnels to fire an RPG at the Israeli tank, it was the trophy system that took out the RPG.Anyways, another deal with them is in news:

I think the Russian have gained the most experience from Ukraine war.
Israeli tanks have only been hit with crude weapons.
Trophy and even the russian system is useless againt top attack weapons and drones. Even the Israelis are using cage armor.
In Ukraine war from the past 2 years its been drones that have been taking out armor.
In the initial days of the war, when Russia went in with kids gloves. Their tanks where taken out with rpg, Javelin etc.
But now they no longer send tanks in urban environment. Instead they use artillery or air strikes to flatten the buildings. Only then do they send tanks to.
So considering how the world is learning from Ukraine war, even trophy equipped tanks have been hit in Gaza. Since they are firing less then the minimum distance Trophy can engage.

Seen many vids like this already.
They always get slammed as Russian propaganda. Seriously?
Yes but the Israelis have been using their tanks throughout. Gaza is a totally urban environment
Maybe the Uki's have better anti-tank weapons.
Ya, this is the theory. Easier said than done. Thing is you have to get close enough to get one off before being spotted and engaged. The videos Hamas puts out are the partially successful strikes. We never see the aftermath of the strike. It's always left to the viewer to assume the rpg was successful.

Harassing the VP's 3 year old?!?
Yes, Vance. In the US. How is this allowed to happen? No suitable security provided for the VP of the US?
These people are foreigners right? Allowed to remain as refugees, yes?
That a MP in Ukraine has to give these refugees a reality check...
I'm starting to believe these people pose a latent terrorist threat to the countries that took them in as refugees.

There are certain areas in Hyderabad where lebanese refugees, students & medicals patients come and stay. In here all kinds of lebanese food are available. Hyderabad is home to turkish, bangladesh, nepal, african & Iranian refugees, Students & medical patients.
When I used to visit KIMS & Asian Institute of Gastroenterology I used to see a lot of these nationalities.
News paper articles sometimes when talking about influx of patients from these countries also talk about National security concerns also.

Looks like eggs are the onions of the USA. Never thought groceries would be an issue in a first world rich country. I consider myself middle class but even if my grocery/food expenses were to 2x overnight, it would not affect my financial condition at all. It's such a small percentage.
