How will the Sukhoi-30SM be modified?
According to Russian media reports, the Sukhoi-30SM fighter
jet will be upgraded with the CM2 ‘Super-Sukhoi’ modification. It will receive
an engine of increased maneuverability, as well as unique radars.
As part of the modernization, developers are solving the
problem of installing the AL-41F-1C engine in the Sukhoi 30SM2, which the super
maneuverable Sukhoi-35S fighters use. Compared to the current Sukhoi-30SM power
plant, the thrust of the new engine will increase by 16.
With the same amount of fuel,
the fighter will be able to stay in the air longer. In addition, the onboard
electronics, radar and optical location station have been improved.
The improved radar enhances the
ability to accurately determine and detect the enemy's range.
Not J-20 Fighters, But This Chinese Jet Could Pose The
Biggest Threat To The Indian Air Force?
China’s fifth generation fighter jet, J-20, had generated
quite a buzz when it was introduced for the first time. Now, there is
speculation that Chinese FC-31 ‘Gyrfalcon’ could pose a bigger threat to its
arch rival India.
The two Asian neighbors have been locked in a border standoff
in the Ladakh region, with reports of the Chinese PLA amassing advanced weapons
on the Tibetan plateau emerging on a regular basis.
With an uncanny similarity to America’s stealth F-35
Lightning II fighter jet, the FC-31 ‘Gyrfalcon’ is a twin engine mid-size
fifth-generation aircraft.
The jet possesses extraordinary maneuverability, stealth
features, and has two internal weapons that can carry two medium-range
missiles.
It has superior avionics, sensors providing enhanced
situational awareness, improved radar tracking & targeting capabilities,
and integrated electronic-warfare systems.
Its development will force India, its arch rival in Asia, to
ramp up its own fifth generation fighter program named AMCA.
What's the purpose of Military Base In Mauritius?
The Mauritian government confirmed in a press release on 18
May that India is fully financing a new three kilometer long runway on the
island of North Agalega where New Delhi has had a military base since 2015.
India regards the new base to be essential for
facilitating both air and surface maritime patrols in the south-west Indian
Ocean, and as an intelligence outpost.
Agalega will also facilitate maritime patrols
over the Mozambique Channel – now a popular passage for large commercial ships,
particularly oil tankers.
India’s North Agalega base will certainly see
some relevant military use in one way or another.
This facility in
Mauritius will provide an important staging point for India’s new P8I fleet,
which recently conducted its first joint patrol with France from nearby Reunion.
Indian Navy's First Indigenous Aircraft Carrier Catching Up To China
The Indian Navy’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS
Vikrant, is expected to start sea trials soon. She will be India’s second
aircraft carrier joining the Russian built INS Vikramaditya. When she joins the
fleet she will be a key component to India’s ability to face China’s growing
naval capabilities.
China’s third carrier, which is under construction
in Shanghai, will be comparable in size to the US Navy’s Ford Class
super-carriers.
At 45,000 tons the Vikrant will be around 67% the size of
China’s existing aircraft carriers, which displace around 65,000 tons. But overall
it will be quite comparable to China’s first two carriers, the Liaoning and
Shandong. And her deck area is around 85% of the size.
Recent satellite data spots the Indian Navy’s Indigenous
Aircraft Carrier INS VIKRANT moving from its berth to new position as of May
2020, rumours suggest the movement took place using her own power indicating
possible progress on the carrier's development.
