India: Army 'mistook planets for spy drones

[Ottoman]

India's army reportedly spent six months watching "Chinese spy drones" violating its air space, only to find out they were actually Jupiter and Venus.

It quotes military sources as saying the objects violated the LAC 155 times. So, the army called the Indian Institute of Astrophysics to identify the objects. "Our task was to determine whether these unidentified objects were celestial or terrestrial," astronomer Tushar Prabhu told the paper. Only once the objects' movements were noted in relation to the stars were they identified as planets.

Here's one of the comments on the article
Indian Officer reporting to HQ: "There's two of them, with their own timings and paths. Each appears at the same time as the night before, and follows the same path as the night before..... They're far too sophisticated for them to be Pakistani's, so they must be Chinese" (lmao)

(lmao) (lmao) No amount of smilies can express the absurdity of the situation. The time is ripe for waging Ghazwa-e-Hind I say

Let not the stupidity of a few cloud judgement for the many.

Although this is a jest, I feel that we can't move towards prosperity without earning and giving respect to everyone, which includes the Indians, Just my thought.
