Su-75 Checkmate, AMCA Inspired BY F-35, F-18 Hornet for IAF, Indian Submersible, 25 More Rafales By 2021 End

India To Have Submersibles That Can Carry Scientists To Depth Of 6,000 Metres Into Sea

In the next five years, India will have an ambitious programme of manned submersibles that can carry three scientists to a depth of 6,000 metres into the ocean.

Deep Ocean Mission, approved by the Cabinet in June, will expand the exploration and utilisation of deep-sea resources even further for societally benefitting activities.

The aim of this more than 4,000 crore mission is to make India self-reliant in ocean technology, create more jobs in this field, and enhance the capacity building of institutions working in this sector.

In the coming five years, India is going to have very ambitious programmes being planned including man submersibles to carry scientists up to the depth of 6,000 metres in the ocean. The project will be executed by the Ministry of Earth Sciences.

France to deliver 35 Rafales by 2021 end, a solo fighter will join in January 2022

France will be delivering a total of 35 omni-role Rafale fighters by 2021 end to India with a last fighter making a solo journey soon to be activated at Hashimara air base in north Bengal in January 2022. Already 26 fighters have been delivered with 24 landed in India and remaining two kept for IAF pilot and technician training in France.

Given the reliability of strategic ally France, the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Navy have evinced keen interest in Rafale platform due to its weight to power ratio and maritime strike capabilities. Apparently, the IAF leadership wants to acquire another 36 Rafales in future and the Navy is looking at Rafale-M as a fighter option onboard INS Vikrant (Indigenous aircraft carrier-1), to be commissioned next year.

The induction of Rafale into western and eastern theatre has force multiplied Indian war making capabilities as the French fighter is armed with the longest range air-to-air Meteor missile in the subcontinent, Hammer air to ground smart munition and long range SCALP air to ground weapon.

SUKHOI 75 Checkmate: High Possibility That Indian Air Force Will Opt For Russian Stealth Jets Over Rafales & Gripens

Russia showcased the fifth generation ‘stealth’ jet at MAKS-21 International Aviation and Space Expo. A single engine, supersonic fighter jet, the Sukhoi-75 boasts advanced stealth technology, something which the other Russian stealth jet Sukhoi-57 lacks.

Russia earlier claimed that countries such as India, China, and Vietnam are among potential buyers of the new light fighter jet. The manufacturer plans to produce 300 single engine light tactical fighter jets within the next 15 years based on the demand.

IAF plans to acquire a single engine jet has been on the anvil for the last 20 years. The MMRCA competition under which India had to acquire 126 fighter jets, initially was for a single engine jet but was later diverted as Sukhoi-30s were failing so badly that India wanted another twin engine jet.

The second time they did it again with MMRCA 2.0 because Russians did not have a single engine jet to offer.

Now that the Russians have a single engine jet, they could enter it into the new competition.

Boeing’s F-18 Super Hornets ‘Super Confident’ Of Beating French Rafale Jets To Grab Indian Navy’s Fighter Jet Deal

Both Dassault and Boeing are marketing their fighters as suitable for the Indian Navy, claiming their respective aircraft can be easily integrated with India’s first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier IAC-1, named Vikrant, set to be commissioned in 2022-23.

The Indian aircraft carriers — INS Vikramaditya and to be commissioned INS Vikrant are Short Take-off But Arrested Recovery (STOBAR) carriers, which means they utilize the deck of the aircraft carrier for take-off and landing purposes.

While Dassault claims that Rafale can operate from STOBAR aircraft carriers, and can take off using a “ski jump” with no modifications, Boeing demonstrated the jet’s capability to launch from a land-based ski jump in 2020.

According to Boeing India’s press release, The Super Hornet’s unique differentiators for the Indian Navy include its two-seater carrier compatibility capability which provides operational flexibility and opportunities to integrate future technologies related to manned & unmanned interface from aircraft carriers.

The Super Hornet’s lesser costs per flight hour, 10,000 hours durability and the world’s most powerful engine — the GE F-414 engine makes it more attractive than the Rafales for the Indian Navy.

India’s 5th-Generation Aircraft AMCA is modelled on US F-35 Instead Of J-20 Or Sukhoi-57 Jets

The Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft AMCA program aims to build a homegrown fifth-generation fighter jet with “sixth-generation characteristics,” intended to replace the aging fleet SEPECAT Jaguar, Dassault Mirage 2000, and MiG-27.

With the AMCA fighter, India will join the elite club of the US, Russia, and China, each of which has developed an indigenous fifth-generation aircraft.

Although India kickstarted the process to build an indigenous fifth-generation jet as a fallout of the joint Russian program, the AMCA has more similarities with Lockheed Martin’s F-35 jet than to Russia’s Sukhoi-57 jet or China’s J-20 jet with respect to its design.

AMCA has been designed as a role flexible fighter capable of executing a wide range of missions depending on loadout.

It is a multi-role combat aircraft designed for air superiority, ground attack, bombing, intercepting, strike, and other missions.

The proposed fifth-generation “stealth” aircraft will have all weather and supercruise capabilities. It is also planned to have both manned and unmanned operational capability.
