Akhanda 2 teaser: Nandamuri Balakrishna channels Shiva, becoming both saviour and destroyer. Watch | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

Akhanda 2 teaser and release date: In a significant respite for the Telugu film industry, which has been struggling so far this year with no big blockbusters, the decks have been cleared for the worldwide release of director Boyapati Sreenu’s highly anticipated Nandamuri Balakrishna-starrer Akhanda 2. A day after announcing the new release date of the fantasy actioner, the movie’s makers have unveiled a fresh teaser, sending expectations through the roof. Instead of delving into the story, the 64-second promo video presents the film as an out-and-out action spectacle, with an unhinged Balakrishna at its centre. As the teaser opens, we see a young woman being chased across a snowy mountain by ruthless thugs. But fret not, Akhanda Rudra Sikandar Aghora (Balakrishna) is around to save the day.

USS Zumwalt Stealth Destroyer to be Mounted Hypersonic Missiles for Long-Range Strikes: Report

USS Zumwalt Stealth Destroyer to be Mounted Hypersonic Missiles for Long-Range Strikes: Report

Published by Webster

The USS Zumwalt, a stealth destroyer from the United States Navy, is undergoing upgrades to accommodate experimental hypersonic missiles under the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) programme. These missiles, capable of speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound, represent a significant advancement in non-nuclear warfare. According to reports, the enhanced capabilities will allow for precise and rapid strikes across vast distances, surpassing the range and effectiveness of conventional weaponry. What are Hypersonic Weapons? As per a report by AP News, Hypersonic missiles, designed to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5—approximately 3,830 miles per hour—are engineered for speed and precision. Unlike ballistic missiles, CPS systems employ a hypersonic glide vehicle, capable of reaching Mach 8, or around 6,140 mph. Reports suggest that each Zumwalt-class destroyer will carry four launch tubes, each housing three of these advanced missiles. The system’s altitude capabilities further contribute to its effectiveness, with missiles reaching up to 50 miles above sea level to minimise air resistance. Defence experts noted in several statements that this high-altitude trajectory reduces drag and enhances speed, making …

Pedro Collins: A Sachin Tendulkar ‘destroyer’ who recorded three first-ball wickets in Tests before Mitchell Starc | Cricket News

Published by Webster

When Mitchell Starc’s snaky inswinger zoomed in a little too fast for Yashasvi Jaiswal off the first ball of the Pink-Ball Test in Adelaide, the Aussie left-armer joined West Indies’ Pedro Collins in an elite list of Test quicks. Starc’s first-ball strike of the Test was the third time he had removed a batter with the opening delivery of a Test match. While the Aussie comms jumped the gun in proclaiming Starc as the first to achieve the feat thrice, a quick retraction acknowledged the forgotten feat of the Barbadian. A left-armer in the Starc ilk, Collins had an all too brief Test career – 32 appearances, 106 wickets – but not without a share of magic, including making Sachin Tendulkar his ‘bunny’. Three in three Collins’ return to the spotlight on Friday though was for his rare achievement of becoming the first ball to have bagged wickets on the first ball of a Test thrice, and playing his part in ending former Bangladeshi opener Hannan Sarkar’s international career. Collins ran an untroubled streak across …

Who is Brydon Carse, England’s three-in-one destroyer at Hagley Oval | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Slippery pace, short-ball roughhouse, front-pad predator, Brydon Carse demonstrated his worth at the Hagley Oval, fishing a 10-wicket match haul that breathed fire and drew praise from his teammates. Captain Ben Stokes called him “lion-hearted” and “three bowlers in one”. Harry Brook said he felt “an event happening when he’s on. It feels like he’s going to get a wicket every ball.” The 29-year-old — whose father Jason had represented Rhodesia and later Northamptonshire — was born in Gqeberha, his attachment to the city of birth revealed through one of the several tattoos on his body. Eight years ago, he moved to England, where he signed a developmental contract with Durham. In two years, he became a first-team regular and developed a close bond with his county captain Stokes. But a recurrent knee injury stalled his progress, just after he had broken into the white-ball set-up in 2021. 💬 A “relatively modest” domestic record but it’s Brydon Carse’s attributes that “make him so important.” Steve Finn breaks down what makes the Durham fast bowler an …
