Can
offer India technology to let submarines stay under water for 2 weeks: Russia
Russia has said that it has critical technology that enabled conventional submarines to remain under water for extended time, to meet India’s order. The Indian P-75I project — to build six conventional submarines in an Indian yard with foreign collaboration — has been given a go ahead by the defence ministry this month.
The
most important aspect of the technology is Air Independent Propulsion (AIP)
that enables submarines to remain underwater for over two weeks, steps ahead of
the current fleet that needs to surface after a few hours to take in oxygen for
burning fuel.
Russian
officials said that its AIP technology was under development and an operational
system onboard a seagoing vessel can be demonstrated next year for offer to
India. The submarines, expected to cost over 43,000 crore, are to be built
either at Mazagaon Docks or Larsen and Toubro.
Safran
considers engine repair plant in India after mega Airbus order
France
Safran is considering building an engine repair facility in India, after
winning its biggest ever turbine deal last month with joint venture partner
General Electric Co.
The
project would be aimed at customers of the CFM International, which was selected
by the nation’s top airline IndiGo to supply engines for 310 new Airbus A-320.
A
final decision and the timing of any project will be linked to global industry
demand for engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services after the pandemic
recovery.
CFM
has shortlisted the south Indian city of Hyderabad and an under-construction
airport near the capital of New Delhi as two possible locations, The facility
would bolster India’s aviation infrastructure, providing a platform for further
growth in a key long-term market for Airbus and US rival Boeing.
Jaguar
retirement from 2024 was pre-planned
Indian
Air Force is equipped with six squadrons of Jaguar strike fighters and at least
two squadrons of the un-upgraded DARIN 1/2 standard Jaguar fleet that are
equipped with older twin Rolls-Royce 804 engines were planned to be phased out
from 2024 onwards.
Earlier
batches that have completed their life were not upgraded nor were marked to be
equipped with new higher thrust engines. IAF had plans to keep the upgraded
DARIN-III standard Jaguar fleet in service till 2034 and it had planned to
start retiring older un-upgraded batches that were to be retired from 2024
onwards that have nothing to do with lack of engine upgrade options.
Jaguar
fleet will be replaced by LCA-AF-Mk2 program that will also be filling in for
the retired Mirage-2000 and MiG 29UPG fleet from 2035, and induction of the LCA-AF-Mk2
likely will start from 2028-29 onwards.
Small
sized stealth drones are lethal threat for strategic installations
The
capability of drones to evade radar, wreak devastation at strategic
installations and transport weapons to terrorists has been a continuous concern
for the country's security establishment, and for the 1st time,
these unmanned vehicles were used to strike an IAF base in Jammu on Sunday.
The
defence and internal security matrix of the country has been talking about
threats posed by small and remote-controlled unmanned vehicles for the last two
to three years with occasional incidents of Pakistan sponsored armed drones
being neutralised by BSF, Punjab Police and other agencies along the India Pakistan
border.
The
agencies are looking at specific anti-drone techniques like sky fence, drone
gun, ATHENA, drone catcher and Skywall-100 to intercept and immobilise
suspicious and lethal remote controlled aerial platforms.
Indian
Navy deploys ship to assist in seabed survey off Sri Lanka’s coast
A
month after a fire broke out aboard cargo vessel MV XPress Pearl off Sri
Lanka’s coast leading to the release of hazardous chemicals and plastic pellets
into the ocean, an Indian Navy ship will help study the condition of the seabed
around the site where the vessel began sinking.
The
accident site is around 250 km from the Indian waters in Gulf of Mannar, Indian
Navy’s hydrographic survey ship INS Sarvekshak arrives at Colombo, Sri Lanka on
Friday to assist in assessment of underwater seabed condition around the site
of MV Xpress Pearl which sank earlier this month.
According
to the Navy, INS Sarvekshak is a specialised survey ship fitted with
state-of-the-art survey equipment like deep sea multi-beam echo sounder, side
scan sonars and a fully automated digital surveying and processing system.
The
samples were also collected by Indian coast guard, soon after the ship started
sinking.
