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.
