"The number beats the previous record of 104 satellites carried aloft by an Indian vehicle in 2017"

Does this vehicle not have a name? Or is the reporter too lazy to look it up? BBC never fails when it comes to its Anti-India stance.

"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

Nationalistic flamewar is particularly not where we want to go here.

The mission was PSLV-C37, but they also didn't tell you that the SpaceX flight was F9-106 or that it flew on booster B1058. Would you describe that as the BBC's anti-American stance at work? Or maybe the serial numbers tacked on to the missions aren't really newsworthy, and anyone who wants more specific details can type "104 satellites" into google?

I vouched you comment back up because I think it's worth linking, but no need to ascribe some sort of malicious motive to the BBC here.
