Nigeria might approach India for Gunships after US Sanctions on Russia

The Nigerian Army is considering procuring Hindustan Aeronautics Limited manufactured Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) to equip the newly formed Army Aviation Corps as per the information that has been floated by the Nigerian defense community.

Nigerian Army Aviation Corps is a new standalone counter terrorism air unit that will be tasked specifically with providing aerial support to ground forces fighting the Boko Haram insurgency in the north and northeast of the country and guaranteeing long term national security.

Nigerian Army Aviation Corps initially were interested in procuring Mi-35M attack helicopters from Russia that is already in service with the Nigerian Air Force but due to the United States’ new Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) law, that places sanctions on the Russian defense industry, as well as customers of Russian defense firms are now searching for other options that include HAL’s LCH that was first offered to Nigerian airforce officials “who were in India-for Aero India 2019.

Britain and Japan to Jointly Develop Engines for F-3 Sixth Generation Fighter

Japan is one of several countries confirmed to be developing a sixth generation fighter aircraft, alongside leading contenders in the field including China, United States and Russia.

Despite initial expectations that the aircraft would depend heavily on foreign technologies from either Britain or the United States, it was confirmed in 2020 that Japan would develop the fighter independently and seek to minimise reliance on other countries.

However Both of Japan’s previous combat jet programs, including the F-1 attack jet and F-2 lightweight fighter, were based heavily on foreign aircraft designs - namely the European Jaguar and the American F-16

To develop engines for the sixth generation fighter, Japan’s IHI Corporation will reportedly partner with Britain’s Rolls-Royce, with the final design developed potentially also influencing Britain’s own sixth generation fighter program the Tempest.

Britain’s Rolls Royce is currently involved in the Tempest program as well. Japan has notably flown a testbed for next generation fighter technologies, the Shinshin X-2.

South Korea Tests First Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile: A Strategic Deterrent Without Nuclear Weapons?

South Korean media outlets have reported that the country has carried out its first ever test firing of a submarine-launched ballistic missile, which is a modified Hyunmoo-2B missile known as Hyunmoo 4-4.

The missiles are expected to be deployed from the country’s Dosan Ahn Changho Class submarines, which are currently still “completing evaluation of the torpedo decoy launch system” before entering device later in the year.

The submarines are among the most advanced in the world, and will be the first outside Japan to use a lithium-ion battery-based air independent propulsion system.

Such systems provide greater endurance at high speeds, and allow submarines to charge faster while also extending battery life, they are also less bulky and require less maintenance. At 3,000 tons weight, they will be South Korea’s largest submarines.

Pakistan eyes drones & deeper ties with Turkey, concerns in Delhi of possible triad with China

Pakistan is seeking armed drones from Turkey and is looking to deepen the already strong bilateral cooperation, especially in the defence arena.

The growing ties, along with a possible axis with China from where Pakistani Airforce also acquired Wing Loong Drones, are beginning to cause concern among security experts in Delhi.

Sources in the Indian defence and security establishment said possible procurement of armed drones, especially the Bayraktar-TB2 are some of the issues that are under discussion.

The Bayraktaar TB2 drones, as demonstrated in the recent battle, can deceive modern air defense systems, The Bayrakataar-TB2 is a Turkish medium altitude long endurance unmanned combat aerial vehicle capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations which could prove to be a huge security threat for India seeing recent jammu drone attack.
