Navy drops EMALS for steam-powered catapults to save cost on IAC-2

Navy has decided to let go of the offer to supply next generation Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear by General Atomics developed system that was cleared by America in 2017 for India.

EMALS has run into serious developmental issues and fixes are still work in progress. The second issues seem to be the cost that is estimated to be $1.321 billion. The third problem with the EMALS and Advanced Arresting Gear is that it’s integrated and tested only on a Nuclear powered Super aircraft carriers.

Steam powered catapults are relatively cheaper but require insulated piping to deliver the steam and the whole system is bulky and is a technically challenging system for its crew to maintain and is more expensive to operate in long run.

Steam powered catapults need to be fine tuned for each aircraft type that is operated from the aircraft carrier more precisely than EMALS. Steam powered catapults are also prone to human error related accidents that can cause serious accidents and have a much slower rate of launch capabilities.

Indian Army inducts indigenously developed next generation Armoured Engineer Reconnaissance Vehicles

The first set of indigenously developed next generation Armoured Engineer Reconnaissance Vehicle was inducted into the Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army at a function attended by Chief of Army Staff General MM Naravane at Pune on Tuesday. The system has been designed by Defence Research and Development Organisation DRDO and manufactured by Ordnance Factory Medak and Bharat Electronics Limited, Pune.

Why PAF’s J-10C acquisition is more to ease pressure on the F-16 fleet than counter Indian Rafale

The Pakistani Air Force’s combat jet for years have centered around the JF-17 Thunder fighter program, Pakistani military officials might boost in public that it is as capable as American built F-16 jets but in private they seem to be worried about the future fleet that now they are actively considering procuring Chinese J-10C jets powered by domestically developed WS-10 Taihang engines to counter Indian acquisition of the Rafale jets, but in reality, it is more to do with easing pressure on the aging fleet of F-16s at that their disposal.

PAF’s J-10C acquisition is rather a smart move to act as a fill gap arrangement before it can acquire another rebranded Chinese jet either as a joint venture or directly when its available. J-10C fleet will ease the pressure on the F-16 fleet and help PAF preserve them for much longer in service.

J-10C in agility and performance is nowhere close to Indian Rafale but it will act as a better backup to the F-16 fleet than the JF-17 fleet that had lackluster performance over recent skirmish with older Indian Mirage-2000 jets.
