HAL lures Malasian Airforce with BrahMos-NG on Tejas Mk1A

Royal Malaysian Airforce has been offered Brahmos-NG, a lighter sleeker variant of the Indo Russian cruise missile that will be fielded in 2024 to be equipped on the Tejas Mk1A single seater jets that are on offer in response to the tender floated for 18 jets. 1.5 tons Brahmos-NG is half the dimensions of the Brahmos missiles currently in service today with the Indian Airforce, Army, and the Navy and each Tejas Mk1A can carry too Brahmos-NG that can be used for Anti-ship missile and Ground strike missions.

Tejas Mk1A presently is not equipped with an anti-ship missile as its role in Indian Airforce is of air defense and close air support roles with a secondary role of the ground strike. Royal Malaysian Airforce is looking for jets that can be used primarily as air defense roles with a secondary role of maritime strike capabilities for which HAL Brahmos-NG was one of the missiles that were offered apparently.  

RMAF is looking to procure 10 Single seater Combat ready fighter jets and 8 Lead-in fighter training (LIFT) for which Fire Control Radar (FCR) is not mandatory. RMAF estimates a deal to cost 4 Billion RM for which 2 Billion RM will be paid via Palm oil barter deal. RMAF also has asked for air-to-air refueling capabilities, beyond-visual-range missile capabilities, 30% local production and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility for which HAL has agreed to these terms.

DRDO’s Turbo Fan Engine For UAVs Will Make India Self Reliant : DRDO Chief

DRDO has been building upon the success based on its breakthrough in missile technologies. Now the task upon DRDO is to achieve such breakthroughs in developing indigenous aero engine and marine engine. That includes Small Turbo Fan Engine for unmanned system where DRDO has completed design validation tests on ground and presently undergoing experimental flight trials. Furthermore, DRDO has already developed a 12 Mega Watt Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine engine as derivative of Kaveri Aero Engine.

Military gas turbine engines form an integral part of aircraft system. India being an aspiring nation took a bold stride in developing an indigenous military gas turbine very early with challenging requirements through the ambitious Kaveri engine development for LCA Tejas. Kaveri Engine, a 4th generation military engine, is the first indigenous aero gas turbine engine designed and built in the country.

With the technologies developed through the Kaveri project, today India is in a position to indigenously develop a power plant for the strategic application of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle.

Indian Navy to commission Scorpene class submarine INS Vela Today

In a big boost to maritime power, the Indian Navy is set to commission INS Vela, the fourth Scorpene class submarine, in Mumbai Today. The addition of   INS Vela to the defence fleet will give a major boost to India’s capabilities in dealing with possible maritime security threats in the face of China’s growing assertiveness and presence in the Indian Ocean region.

It has an indigenous set of batteries and has an advanced indigenous communication suit that has taken the concept of AtmaNirbhar Bharat further. INS Vela, the fourth of six underwater warships being built in India with French collaboration was launched at Mazagaon Dockyard in Mumbai in May this year with an aim to boost Indian capability to defend and secure the strategic sea lanes.

The state-owned Mazagaon Dock Shipbuilders Limited has entered into a contract for construction and transfer of technology for six Scorpene class submarines with French Naval Group. INS Vela is the fourth in that series. Before Vela, MDL launched Kalvari, Khanderi, Karanj submarines. INS Vela was first commissioned on August 31, 1973 in the Indian Naval Service and continued to serve for 37 years. It was the country’s oldest submarine when it was decommissioned on June 25, 2010.

Kamov-226T to complete certification in 2022

Russian Helicopters Holding plans to complete the certification of the latest Kamov-226T multirole helicopter in 2022 next year. In addition to India, for which the helicopter has been developed, Kamov-226T has also evoked interest from China and Saudi Arabia.

Russia unveiled upgraded Kamov-226T helicopter at Dubai Airshow 2021. The helicopter is adapted for flights in highlands and, therefore, the project has been code named the Climber. It differs from its predecessors by a new airframe design and the fuselage with improved aerodynamic features. The helicopter’s body is made of modern lightweight materials. It is furnished with a shockproof fuel system that meets the most stringent safety requirements.

Kamov-226T is currently undergoing flight tests at the testing compound of the Mill and Kamov center.

TamilNadu may soon be the largest source of nuclear energy in India

Tamil Nadu has less thermal power capacity, but has the maximum capacity of nuclear power among all states.

It has the maximum wind power capacity, and solar power capacity is expected to increase in the coming years. India has a total nuclear power capacity of 6800MW and out of this, Tamil Nadu alone has 2440MW. In percentage terms, Tamil Nadu has 35 per cent of the total nuclear power capacity in the country. Kudankulam has two nuclear reactors with a capacity of 1000MW each and similarly, Kalpakkam has two nuclear units with a capacity of 220MW each.

In Kudankulam, four nuclear units with a capacity of 1000MW are being constructed and very soon, Kudankulam may become another Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine, where similarly, there are six nuclear reactors, generating nearly 80 percent of power for the country.
