Where COVID19 started?Student's in Chinese Wuhan started school today after 7 month of COVID19 Lockdown

Students in China’s Wuhan, the original
epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic,
returned to class on September 1 as the city
reopened all of its schools following a
seven-month shutdown.
Nearly 1.4 million students resumed classes
in around 2,800 kindergartens, primary
schools and middle schools in the city. High
schools were reopened in May, according to
AFP.
State media broadcast images
of students hoisting the
Chinese flag, a daily routine in
schools across the country.
Despite the reopening of schools, however,
officials are remaining vigilant and have
devised online teaching plans in the event of
potential COVID-19 outbreaks.
In addition, students have
been advised to wear masks
while traveling to and from
school and avoid public
transportation if possible.
Drills and training sessions to
prepare students for new
outbreaks will also be
conducted at schools.

country’s capital city of Beijing, which
experienced a resurgence of COVID-19
cases in late June, will reopen all of its
schools this month. In Beijing, teachers and
students will also be required to wear masks
on school property.
Wuhan was responsible for
around 80% of China’s more
than 4,600 COVID-19 deaths,
according to AFP.
The city was under lockdown for more than
two months starting in late January. The
restrictions were lifted in April, and no new
local transmissions of the virus have been
reported in the city since May 18, according
to Reuters.

India and Russia deploy warships in indian ocean....straight of malacca

India and Russia have lined up a series of bilateral engagements over the next 10 days, including the visit of Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh to Moscow later this week. The talks will also touch on the issue of the early delivery of the S-400, quick reaction missile system; officials in New Delhi said.
India has deployed destroyers, frigates and corvettes to carry out a naval exercise near the strategically-located Strait of Malacca later this week. A government official in New Delhi said that the INDRA NAVY–2020 exercise will take place on 4-5 September, during which Russian Navy ships will sail from Hambantota in Sri Lanka to the Malacca Straits in the Bay of Bengal.
“Indian Navy will deploy ships Ranvijay (Destroyer), Sahyadri (Frigate), Kiltan (Corvette) and Shakti (Tanker) with integrated helicopters,” Indian government official said while adding that the exercise is being carried out as “non-contact, at sea only” passage exercise during the pandemic.
India-Russia (INDRA) Exercises between the Army, Navy and Air Force of the two countries have been held since 2005.
Later this week, Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh will also visit Russia to discuss military co-operation between the two “special and privileged strategic partners”.

“The Indian Air Force and Army are pressing for early delivery of missile systems, which include the S-400 air defence system. The issue will come up once again during the visit,”
Later on September 10, India’s Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar will meet his Russian counterpart on the sidelines of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation’s foreign ministers’ meeting in Moscow.
Last week, Maria Vorobyova, the official representative of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) of Russia told media on the sidelines of the Army-2020 International Military and Technical Forum that the delivery of the first regiment of S-400 is expected by the end of 2021 .
“Further acceleration of the delivery of the first batch from the system is technically impossible, since there are objective, technology-related stages of production, acceptance and transfer of equipment,” Vorobyova emphasised.

Russian SU57 figher jet to get an invisiblity cloak.

Since mass production of the Sukhoi Su-57 began last year, developers have announced a number of add-ons for the fifth-generation fighter, ranging from new hypersonic missiles to plans to allow it to control swarms of drones.
Russia’s Su-57 fighter jets are going to receive special protective cloaks to shield them from bad weather and enemy radar detection while they are on their airfields, with delivery of the cloaks set to begin next year, Izvestia has reported , citing sources in the military and the military industry.
According to the newspaper, the cloaks will be made of radar signal-reflecting polymers, with each plane will receive over a dozen separate, specially-fitted covers for its fuselage, wings, cockpit, stabilisers, air intakes, wheels and other components.
In addition to cloaking the plane, the coverings will protect the planes’ external electronics, including antennae, sensors, radar and optical and electronic systems from the elements.
Lt. Gen. Valery Gorbenko, former commander of the 4th Air Force and Air Defence Army, told Izvestia that the cloaks will deprive the potential adversary of information such as where the planes are based, how many there are, as well as where and from where they have been transferred.
The officer added that the coverings’ protective qualities are a significant bonus. “It is important to protect modern equipment from bad weather. Today planes are sometimes covered up entirely, but this provides little protection from rain or snow. In southern regions, during sandstorms, paint is stripped from planes like emery.”
Sukhoi is currently working on the delivery of 76 Su-57s for the Ministry of Defence, with state testing on the planes delivered earlier set to be completed before the end of the year.
The Sukhoi Su-57, formerly known as the ‘PAK FA’ or T-50, is a supermanoeuvrable fifth-generation strike fighter with stealth characteristics and the latest avionics and weapons systems.
Taking part in combat evaluation in Syria in 2018 and 2019, the fighter jet formally began mass production in 2019. In the meantime, developers are working on a number of upgrades, including true fifth-generation engines and a hypersonic missile designed to be fitted in its weapons bay.

The exact price tag of the Su-57 programme is difficult to pin down. However, Russian business media reported last year that the contract with the MoD for the batch of 76 planes has an estimated cost of 170 billion rubles ($2.3 billion US), or about $30.4 million per plane. The plane’s development programme had a cost of about 60 billion 2010 rubles (about $2.8 billion).
These numbers compare favourably with Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightening II, which has a programme cost of $428.5 billion, and a gargantuan $1.19 trillion operations and sustainment cost through 2077, as well as a per plane price tag of $77.9 million for the F-35A, $94.4 million for the F-35C, and $101.3 million for the F-35B.
