Russian Agency Tass withdraws INS Chakra explosion theory report
This report now has been withdrawn by the TASS and also said that the details in the report that went viral in the Indian media was not only withdrawn but also had inaccuracies.
INS Chakra-II, an Akula
class Nuclear attack Submarine on a 10 year lease from Russia, was returned
nearly 10 months before the end of this lease agreement leading to speculation
that the ship suffered some level of damage that required intensive repairs at
a Russian facility due to which it was returned before leasing agreed terms
expired.
Some Indian media
reports had indicated that maintenance-intensive INS Chakra-II had being
suffering from multiple issues with the nuclear reactor of the submarine, that
was one of the reasons why the submarine’s return was preponed to Russia.
Russia to offer new
turboshaft engines to Asian market, Including India
Russia’s United Engine
Corporation (UEC, a subsidiary of state corporation Rostec) is expanding its
portfolio of turboshaft engines for helicopters.
In 2019-2020 the UEC’s
share in the global helicopter engine market was between 10 and 12 percent. The
corporation now has two such engines in its portfolio of export-oriented
products, namely Klimov VK-2500 and Klimov TV7 -117V.
The UEC’s market share
in the helicopter engine cluster will increase to 18-20 percent by 2035. The
introduction of new Klimov VK-650V and Klimov VK-1600V engines and the
adaptation of all family of Russian helicopter engines to foreign-made
platforms in UEC’s traditional markets, namely the countries of South-East Asia
will be the main reasons behind the anticipated growth.
The share of helicopter
engines in the structure of UEC current revenue is between six and nine
percent.
Having the power output
between 2,000 horse power to 2,700 horse power VK-2500 entered serial production in 2014.
TV7-117V is primarily
intended for the Russian Helicopters, TV7-117V also entered serial production –
UEC is reported to have a backlog of orders for approximately 250 such engines
through 2030.
Infuriated By US
Provocations, China Conducts Night Test Of ‘Carrier Killer’ Missile – DF 26
The DF-26 anti-ship
missiles are reportedly capable of conducting precision strikes from distances
as far as about 4000 kilometers.
While the exact location
of the exercise has been kept secret, it was a warning to foreign forces “not
to meddle in China’s core interests”, Chinese military analysts told the South
China Morning Post.
Needless to say, the
exercise was a clear signal to the US which is throwing its weight behind
Taiwan — a territory China claims as its own.
The DF-26 can fly
farther than any other Chinese missile with a maximum range of 4000 kilometer.
It is reportedly the first and only land-based missile, which can be used for a
nuclear strike or a traditional ground strike.
It is one such missile
that can strike aircraft carriers at sea, where China’s biggest threat comes
from.
When India and Korea
brought same German Submarine in 1980s, Now Korea is offering upgraded one to
India
On June 4, India’s
defence ministry kicked off the process to acquire six conventional submarines
for 43,000 crore.
It is India’s third
attempt to build a conventional submarine with a foreign technology partner in
the last 40 years. The first attempt was in 1981 when India contracted to buy
four HDW Type 209 from West Germany.
India placed another
order for six Scorpene submarines from Armaris of France. The P75I represents a
third attempt to acquire submarine building expertise and technology.
In the 1980s, South
Korea was like India, completely dependent on imported platforms and designs.
In 1987, South Korea imported a version of the same HDW design which India had
bought six years earlier, then licensed & built it and finally mastered the
design to build its own completely indigenous line of submarines–the 3,000 tons
KSS-3.
A version of this design
is now being offered to India for the P75I by South Korea.
Home-grown Maritime
Traffic Management software to be ready in 2022, says IIT Madras
The Indian Institute of
Technology Madras (IITM) will be developing an indigenous Vessel Traffic
Management Software and hardware that is used in ports.
When buying from foreign
companies, they offer very expensive, complete hardware-software packages,
whose internal workings are not known to the user.
Whereas, in the case of
indigenous development, the software can be developed here and upgrade of
hardware can be done based on in-house experts recommendation. The hardware so
required is meant to be directly procured by the ports, thus working out to be
50 percent cheaper.
It is said that talks
are on with more Indian ports to adopt this software. There is also no limit to
the number of vessels this indigenous software can manage, as this capability
can be scaled up on the hardware side.
