India Gets Two AL-55I Engines For Combat Trainers

India’s home-made HJT-36 combat trainer aircraft inched closer towards final stage of certification tests after it received the AL-55I turbojet engines from Russia. The aircraft maker Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. has received two AL-55I turbojet engines delivered by Russia's United Engine Corporation in July.

After successful acceptance tests at the test stand in the presence of the customer's representative, the engines have been shipped to India. The establishment of the HJT-36 training aircraft is in the final stage of flight certification testing.

With its modular design, the engine provides high performance efficiency, manufacturability and low cost of operation. The engine’s advanced digital control system ensures safe piloting and easy maintenance.

The engine’s service life parameters have been confirmed, and now India can move to its licensed serial assembly.

Russia To Equip Its Orion Drones With Anti-Tank Missiles To Knock Off Heavily Armoured Vehicles

Russia’s first combat unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) – Orion, is scheduled to launch anti-tank guided missiles for the first time in the coming fall as part of the ongoing weapons testing.

Currently, work is underway to integrate modernized anti-tank missiles of the Vikhr-M complex into Orion. The first launches of the Vikhr missiles from the UAV against targets imitating enemy armoured vehicles are scheduled for this fall at the military training grounds.

Adding the Vikhr ATGM [anti tank guided missile] to Orion will significantly increase its capabilities in destroying heavily armoured vehicles on the battlefield, including the latest and most heavily protected tanks.

The Vikhr ATGM has very high efficiency against moving targets of the “tank” type, with over 80% of successful hits.

Eurofighter Typhoon To Add Powerful ‘SPEAR-EW’ System To Its Arsenal As It Challenges Rafals, F-35s For Global Sales

Multinational defense company MBDA is now working on a new electronic warfare version of the SPEAR weapon system, known as SPEAR-EW. It will use an advanced Electronic Warfare device as its payload, instead of a warhead and seeker.

According to the company, the SPEAR-EW is a smaller version EW payload from Leonardo, which is built on the innovative BriteCloud technology. The system would operate as a swarm of cruise missiles capable of neutralizing the “most sophisticated air defenses.

Using lesser capacity than a traditional warhead, the payload is also expected to have an extra fuel capacity, owing to its extra volume.

The SPEAR EW will give additional power to the Eurofighter to overpower hostile air defenses. The system will play the role of a stand-in-jammer, enabling it to be used for various forms of electronic warfare. It can, therefore, act as a radar jammer as well as imitate multiple objects.

SAAW trials from LCA Tejas soon

DRDO will be integrating indigenously developed Smart Anti Airfield Weapon (SAAW) onboard LSP (Limited Serial Production) Tejas to enhance its capabilities to strike ground targets.

Trials might begin in the later part of this year of the smart weapon system that has a range of 100 kilometers and is capable of engaging ground enemies airfield assets such as radars, bunkers, taxi tracks, and runways.

SAAW has been tested from Jaguar Strike aircraft, and Indian Hawk Mk 132 of HAL already

New Variant of SAAW is under Development, DRDO reportedly is also working on Electro Optical/InfraRed seeker for a new SAAW variant that will be equipped with an automatic target acquisition capability to overcome GPS jamming, navigation, and target location errors in the engagement of fixed targets.

EO/IR seeker SAAW variant will also be able to cross check with the mission reference data stored in the weapon’s computer memory in case the target is already being destroyed and will reassign itself to the next target.

Kamov Ka-226 helicopter may become pilotless

The Russian Helicopters Group integrated into Russia’s Rostec state hi-tech corporation is studying an option to develop a version of the Kamov Ka-226 helicopter, which will have an optional control system to perform pilotless flights.

We will probably develop an unmanned aerial vehicle on the basis of a coaxial scheme by analogy with the Ka-226 helicopter, the modular design of which makes it possible to do this quite quickly, from our point of view”, Group Director for Marketing and Business Development Oleg Landin said.

The Kamov Ka-226 is a small, twin engine utility helicopter. The Ka-226 features an interchangeable mission pod, rather than a conventional cabin, allowing the use of various accommodation or equipment configurations. The Ka-226 entered service in 2002.
