NDA Current Affairs Quiz: 23 October 2026

The Indian Navy will hold the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue in New Delhi from 3 to 5 November 2026 on this theme, with the National Maritime Foundation as the principal organiser, and experts from 18 countries of the region taking part.

The Ministry of Defence said that Indian Naval Ship Sahyadri departed Vladivostok in the Russian Federation on 20 October 2026 after the bilateral naval exercise INDRA 2026 between the Indian Navy and the Russian Federation Navy was completed, so Sahyadri is the Indian warship tied to this edition of the…

Its Numerical and Theoretical Astrophysics Group built the computer simulation of viscous accretion flows used in the work, which was led by Mr Sanit Debnath and Dr Indranil Chattopadhyay, with scientists from the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center in Poland and MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly.

The Raksha Mantri released it at the Army Commanders' Conference in New Delhi, and it provides an overarching framework to prepare the Indian Army for the evolving character of warfare and for future conflicts, which is why it was issued to the Army's senior leadership rather than to a joint…

Mona Agarwal won the gold in this shooting event at the Asian Para Games, and her winning performance stood as a new world record as well as a new Asian Para Games record.

The initiative sets out seven interconnected maritime lines of thrust, and successive editions of the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue have taken up selected dimensions of those lines of thrust.

INDRA is the bilateral naval exercise of the Indian Navy and the Russian Federation Navy, and the Ministry of Defence said the conclusion of the drill reaffirmed the enduring defence and maritime partnership between India and Russia.

Matter pulled towards a black hole forms an accretion flow that falls inward at high speed and emits non-thermal radiation, and the brightness of that radiation shows nearly regular variations known as quasi-periodic oscillations.

The Raksha Mantri said defence production had surged to that record level in the financial year 2025-26, and that defence exports in the same period had reached an all-time high of about Rs 38,000 crore, both of which he attributed to the priority given to self-reliance in defence.

The Ministry of Defence statement records that INS Sahyadri left Vladivostok in the Russian Federation on 20 October 2026, after the harbour phase of the exercise had been held there and the sea phase had been completed.

The simulations showed that as spin increases, the oscillating shock moves inward and its oscillations grow more pronounced, so the predicted frequencies can exceed 100 Hz for a black hole of about ten solar masses, which matches the fast variations observed in black hole X-ray binary systems.

Addressing the Commanders, the Raksha Mantri said innovative thinking, enhanced synergy and superior coordination, complemented by advanced weaponry, had contributed to its success, and that the operation carried a clear message that India would not hesitate to take the measures needed to safeguard its national interests.

Himanshu Nandal finished third in this race, and the Prime Minister pointed out that it was the third bronze medal to his name at this edition of the Games, calling it an impressive performance.
