Spice 250 ER for IAF, Pinaka Enhanced Version, Theatre Command India, MBDA CAMM ER, J-16 At LAC

IAF shows interests in procuring SPICE 250 ER with Artificial Intelligence

Israel based Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is offering the new variant dubbed SPICE 250 ER Extended Range that incorporates a miniature turbojet engine with an internal JP 8/10 fuel system, providing the weapon a range of at least 150 kilometer, while retaining the same mission planning system, aircraft interfaces, and aircrew operation.

SPICE 250 ER also now comes with autonomous electro optic Scene Matching Artificial Intelligence Algorithms that use advanced AI and deep learning technologies to specific target characteristics ahead of the strike. Each SPICE 250 ER can home in on the predefined target, either autonomously or with a human in the loop, aided by the ATR algorithm.

Rafael is pitching SPICE 250 ER for IAF’s existing fighter fleet that includes Mirage 2000, Sukhoi 30M K I, and LCA-Tejas.

DRDO successfully test fires 4 Enhanced Range 122mm Caliber Rocket

DRDO successfully test-fired enhanced range versions of indigenously developed 122mm Caliber Rocket from a Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher on June 25, 2021, at Integrated Test Range ITR, Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.

Four enhanced range version of 122mm rockets were test fired with full instrumentation and they met the complete mission objectives. These rockets have been developed for Army applications and can destroy targets up to 45 kilometers.

All the flight articles were tracked by Range instruments, including Telemetry, Radar and Electro Optical Tracking System deployed by ITR and Proof & Experimental Establishment. This enhanced rocket system would replace the existing 122mm Grad rockets.

Fake Report of Nirbhay Test

Reports of India test firing its long range subsonic Nirbhay cruise missile turn out to be false news after Indian Defence News was informed that no such developmental trial of the missile had taken place from reliable sources in DRDO.

The trial of the Nirbhay missile test with the indigenous STFE engine is still under preparation and might take place soon, once cleared by the team that is working on the assembly of the missile.

DRDO and the Ministry of Defence both had maintained silence and had not released any official Press Release like they usually do after missile tests, nor it was widely reported in national media but was widely reported in the Indian defence community.

Does India Need Theatre Command Concept?

It has been announced that the first two theatre commands to be formed will be air defence and maritime theatre commands by 2022.

The concept is derived from the US Armed forces, which divides its entire defence forces in theatre commands covering the globe like US Pacific Command.

This theatre command is responsible for all countries and oceans from the US West Coast to India, which means that any operation or exercise that needs to be undertaken in this region will be the sole responsibility of the US Pacific Command.

These theatre commands operate kilometres away from their homeland, so it’s mandatory to have all their resources built in to undertake operations independently.

Each theatre, thus, is separated from the other functionally. The integral resources include army, navy, air force, satellite backup, logistic backup, missiles and counter missiles, cyber cell etc.

India is planning to have three integral theatre command one each facing Pakistan and China, and one for the southern peninsula.

Afraid of Rafale, China sent J-16 to the border with India

According to China Television (CCTV), combat aircraft units, under the command of the Chinese Air Force, in the Western theatre (area bordering India), have begun J-16 multirole fighters to enter into service.

The increase of J-16 fighters is said to be to counterbalance the Rafale fighters that India has just received from France. The multirole fighter J16 developed by China will become the main Chinese fighter model that can be used to deter the enemy.

Although considered as a copy of the Sukhoi-30Mk2 when there are many similarities from shape to tactical characteristics, the PLA Airforce confidently asserts that its multirole fighter possesses many more outstanding features than the Sukhoi-30MK2.

MBDA’s Air Defence Missile CAMM-ER Successfully Completes Major Milestone

MBDA has successfully completed a firing of the “CAMM-ER” air defence missile against a manoeuvring target.

The trial took place at an Italian firing range. “CAMM-ER” is the extended range member of the new generation CAMM air defence family of systems.

All members of the CAMM family share the same cutting edge active radar seeker and soft launch system, with CAMM-ER featuring a larger rocket motor to provide extended range beyond 40 kilometers.

“CAMM E Are” was designed to replace the Aspide munition in the Medium Advanced Air Defence System of the Italian Air Force & air defence system of the Italian Army & it will also enhance the defence capabilities of naval fleets.
