The insightful articles, inspiring narrations and analytical perspectives presented by the Editorial Team, establish an alluring connect with the reader. My compliments and best wishes to SP Guide Publications.
"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy. Its well-researched and informative magazines on Defence and Aerospace sector have served to shape an educated opinion of our military personnel, policy makers and the public alike. I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
On May 10, 2005, while President George W. Bush was delivering a speech in Tbilsi, Georgia, a live Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade was thrown towards the podium where Bush was standing and where Georgian President Mikhail Saaksashvili and others were seated.
The grenade was live and had its pin pulled, but did not explode because a red tartan handkerchief wrapped tightly around the grenade kept the firing pin from deploying quickly enough. Vladimir Arutyunian who threw the grenade was arrested in July after he had killed an Interior Ministry agent while resisting arrest. He was convicted in January 2006 and given a life sentence.
