DRDO successfully flight tests indigenously developed Man-Portable Anti Tank Missile
In a major boost to Atmanirbhar Bharat and strengthening Army, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully flight tested indigenously developed low weight, fire and forget Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile today.
The missile was launched from a man portable launcher
integrated with thermal site and the target was mimicking a tank. The missile
hit the target in direct attack mode and destroyed it with precision. The test
has validated the minimum range successfully.
All the mission objectives were met. The missile
Man Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile has already been successfully flight tested
for the maximum range. The missile is incorporated with state-of-the-art
Miniaturized Infrared Imaging Seeker along with advanced avionics.
DRDO successfully flight-tested Akash-NG
surface-to-air missile
The Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO) on Wednesday successfully flight-tested the next-generation
Akash surface-to-air missile (Akash NG) system from the Integrated Test Range
off the Odisha coast.
The Akash NG flight trial was conducted at
12.45 pm from a land-based platform, with all weapon system elements such as
multifunction radars, command, control & communication systems, etc. The
missile demonstrated high manoeuvrability required for neutralizing fast &
agile aerial threats.
Akash NG is a new generation Surface to Air
Missile meant for use by Indian Air Force to intercept high manoeuvring low
Radar Cross Section aerial threats.
Akash NG was tested earlier this year for the
first time and this is the second test of the missile system in the full
operational configuration that was carried out by a combined team of DRDO,
Bharat Dynamics Limited, and Bharat Electronics in the presence of the
representatives of Indian Air Force.
MiGs Advanced ship borne multirole fighter
concept shows the untapped potentials of India’s TEDBF
At the ongoing MAKS 2021 air show in Moscow,
Russia’s MiG Corporation showcased a scale model of the Advanced ship borne
multirole fighter concept that is on offer to the Russian Navy to replace its
present deck based MiG-29K fighter jets on the next supercarrier under Project 23000E
for the Russian Navy and people were amazed at the design similarities with
India’s Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) that is under development for
India’s deck based fighter jet-requirements.
MiGs canard delta wing, twin engine, Advanced
ship borne multirole fighter concept also highlights its two internal weapons
bays with four weapons stations. TEDBF with a frontal section that is
geometrically optimized for the reduced radar cross-section and pretty clean
design has the potential to be classified as 5 Minus fighter jet.
TEDBF being a deck-based fighter jet it also
has a role to play as a main air defense platform to the whole carrier battle
group against hostile aircraft in the vicinity and inclusion of the stealth and
the Internal weapons bay for the next generation battle over the sea or near
the coastline will become crucial as China is planning to induct its deck based
stealth fighter at the time TEDBF goes into developmental trials.
Russia hands over commercial offer of 21 MiG-29
fighter jets to India
Russia will be supplying 21 MiG-29 fighters to
India. The Indian Air Force staff received a tender request for the supply of
21 aircraft in 2021. The Russian side has transferred to Indian partners the
commercial offer that is now being considered by India.
Last year, the Defence Ministry gave its
approval to the Indian Air Force to speedily procure 21 MiG-29 fighter jets
besides 12 Sukhoi MK1 from Russia. The Indian Air Force had pushed a proposal
to the government for acquiring new fighter aircraft, including 21 MiG-29 from
Russia in June last year.
The 21 MiG-29 jets that the IAF is planning to
acquire are from Russia and meet its requirement of new fighters. The IAF has
carried out a study to check the airframe of the MiG-29 fighters. The Air Force
has three squadrons of the MiG-29 jets — a twin-engine single seat air
superiority fighter aircraft — which have been undergoing upgrades for extended
life and are considered reliable in the air defence roles.
Russia’s New S-500 Hypersonic Air Defence
System Downs Ballistic Missile in Latest Test
At the Kapustin Yar
training ground, the newest S-500 surface-to-air missile system performed test
combat firing at a high-speed ballistic target, & the test had been
successful.
After the completion of
the full cycle of tests, it is planned to deliver the first S-500 system to the
air defence unit in the Moscow Region, The test confirmed the tactical and
technical characteristics and high reliability of the system.
The S-500 is not
intended to replace the S-400, which will remain in production for many years to come, and
has a different role which places a greater emphasis on neutralising high value
targets. The new weapons system can neutralise space targets including satellites and space aircraft, as well as intercontinental
range ballistic missiles, hypersonic aircraft, bombers and heavy support aircraft such as airborne early
warning jets.
The S-500 reportedly has
a 600 kilometer engagement range against enemy aircraft - by far the longest in
the world - with the S-400 restricted to 400 kilometers and Western systems
limited to around 200 kilometers.
