Why China’s Mighty J-20 Stealth Jet That Competes With US F-22 Raptor Is Banned For Sales?
China is very proud of its stealth fighter, the
J-20 ‘Mighty Dragon’. The fifth-generation twin-engine stealth fighter
symbolizes the country’s technological achievements and its ability to match
the West in advanced technologies.
China claims that J-20 is equal to the US F-22
Raptor and even superior in some aspects.
So it seems, there are two main reasons behind
Beijing’s unwillingness to sell the J-20 in the international market.
One, China fears that its fifth-generation
technology will fall into the wrong hands and be copied. Two, Beijing wants to
avoid an arms race in the fifth-generation technology between its allies and
those of the US.
While these two factors may have some influence
on China’s decision not to export the J-20. There are other more practical
reasons that Beijing prefers not to highlight publicly.
IAF to soon take deliveries of 4 FOC Tejas-Mk1
After suffering three months of delays due to
the Second wave of pandemic in the country, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
is said to be readying four Final Operational Configuration of LCA-Tejas Mk1
that will be handed over to IAF by end of this month. HAL Chairman recently
claimed that 10 more will be handed over in March 2022 but with restricted
production capacities, pandemic delays and disturbed supplied chain means that,
deliveries of 10 jets might not happen in March.
HAL is working overtime to recover lost working
hours but instead has managed only manufacturing SP 21 and SP 22. SP 19 and SP 20
were manufactured in the Previous Financial Year 2020-21. SP 17 and SP 18
already have been handed over to the IAF. Delivery of SP 23 to SP 32 by March
2022 will be too heavy of a task.
HALL had plans to manufacture the first 16 LCA-Tejas
Trainer for Financial Year 2022 to 23
and commence production of the remaining 2 Trainer for Financial Year 2023 to 24
along with the production of 8 upgraded Tejas Mk1A fighter jets that were
ordered by IAF earlier this year.
Leaked Images Of Russian F-35 Stealth Fighter
Jet Take Social Media By Storm
The “promising combat aircraft” will compete
with the US fifth generation stealth fighter, F-35.
Russia will unveil the much-anticipated fighter
jet at the latest edition of MAKS air show.
In the past few days, several photos and videos
have surfaced on social media platforms hinting at the Russian fighter jet or
its prototype.
The images doing the rounds on social media
show a full-size airframe wrapped in a black protective covering.
American fifth generation stealth fighter F-35
is already operating in 13 countries while landing a significant new deal with
Switzerland Air Force this year.
Russia is pitching this new jet as an export
item that it desperately needs to get into the selling stealth fighters
business.
INS Tabar enters Port of Brest in France
As part of the ongoing Overseas Deployment, INS
Tabar entered the Port of Breast, France on 12 July 21. The ship was received

incorporate an “eight cell KBSM Vertical Launcher” and was the first to upload
the new Indian/Russian designed missile, the supersonic BrahMos PJ 10 Missile.
INS Tabar has one 100 mm Dual Purpose Gun mount
for surface and air targets.
Two Kashtan Air Defence Gun/Missile mounts are
INS Tabar’s Close In

US Air Force to send dozens of F-22 fighter
jets to the Pacific amid tensions with China
The United States Air Force is sending more
than two dozen F-22 stealth fighters to an exercise in the western Pacific this
month, an unusually large deployment of the powerful jets that analysts say
sends a strong message to a possible adversary China.
Pacific Air Forces in Hawaii this week said
approximately 25 F-22 Raptors from the Hawaii Air National Guard and from Joint
Base Elmendorf Richardson, Alaska, will deploy this month to Guam and Tinian
islands for Operation Pacific Iron 2021.
The F-22s are fifth generation combat jets, the
world’s most advanced fighter aircraft, incorporating stealth technologies and
connecting on board sensor systems with off board information systems to give
their pilots a detailed view of the battle space. US F-35 are another example.
Deploying a large number of F-22 Jets for the
exercise sends an immediate message to China at a time when relations are tense
over Pacific flashpoints like Taiwan and the South China Sea.
