AROUND TWO DOZEN CHINESE FIGHTER JETS CARRIED OUT EXERCISE OPPOSITE EASTERN LADAKH, INDIA WATCHED CLOSELY
With India and China engaged in a military standoff for more than a year now, the Chinese Air Force recently carried out a big aerial exercise from its airbases opposite Eastern Ladakh which was watched closely by the Indian side.
Around 21-22 of Chinese fighter aircraft mainly including the
J-11 which are the Chinese copy of the Sukhoi-27 fighters and a few J16
fighters held an exercise opposite the Indian territory in Eastern Ladakh.
The Chinese fighter aircraft activities took place from its
bases including the Hotan, Gar Gunsa and Kashgar airfields which have been
upgraded recently to enable operations by all types of fighters along with
concrete structures to hide away the presence of the number of fighters present
at its different airbases.
Chinese aircraft remained well within their territory during
the aerial drills.
Indian Air Force has also been regularly deploying
detachments of its fighters including the MiG-29 jets in Ladakh.
The Indian Air Force also regularly flies its most capable
Rafale fighters over the Ladakh skies which have boosted the Indian capability
all along the Line of Actual Control.
INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN P8I AND MH-60R AND SEA GUARDIAN
Even as the Indian Navy is expecting the approval for High
Altitude Long Endurance Drones from the US based General Atomics, six more P-8I
Patrol aircraft from Boeing Company are expected later this year.
The Indian Navy is already using the P-8I for the carrying
out anti-submarine warfare and surveillance.
Once the Sea Guardians join the Navy, they will fly in sync
with the P-8i, the MH-60R helicopters. This will further improve their
capabilities, as this will take the interoperability between the three assets
to the next level.
As and when the land launched P-8Is fly in to participate
within the Fleet Task Force operations, a tactical data-link connection is
established with the P-8I maritime aircrafts and this makes these aircraft a
part of the net-units which is now controlled by the Flagship.
With this, now the MH-60R and P-8Is can share the Common
Operating Picture in real time manner so as to plan and execute missions with a
shared objective, in close coordination with the warships of the Task Force.
Thus, the Fleet Commander now has a better tactical picture
to improve the effectiveness of the resources at his disposal at sea.
NEW COMPETITOR TO ISRAELI IRON DOME SYSTEM?
A mobile ground-based weapon system designed to acquire,
track, engage and defeat unmanned aircraft systems, cruise missiles, and
rockets, artillery and mortars has been unveiled by Dynetics (located at
Huntsville, Alabama, United States.
Offering protection against similar threats as the ‘Iron
Dome,’ the ‘Enduring Shield’ system should prove a direct competitor to the
famed Israel-developed system which has also been purchased by the U.S. Army.
Enduring Shield is capable of firing a range of missiles
while providing current and future growth capabilities.
The system offers a 360-degree envelope with the ability to
engage multiple targets simultaneously. It can be fully integrated with the
Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defence Battle Command System, and offers
both cyber resiliency and electronic warfare protections.
AUSTRALIA'S CYBORG DYNAMICS UNVEILS NEW ATGM-EQUIPPED
WARFIGHTER UGV
Australian firm Cyborg Dynamics has unveiled a new anti-tank
guided missile (ATGM) equipped concept demonstrator of its tracked Warfighter
unmanned ground vehicle, tentatively called the Warfighter Spike UGV.
The unmanned ground vehicle is designed to carry a wide range
of mission systems and payloads to address specific operational requirements.
The unmanned ground vehicle can support a payload weight of
up to 330 kg and is equipped with a hybrid-electric drive system that enables
it to operate for periods of up to 72 hours, although its endurance can be
extended by fitting additional fuel tanks.
The baseline vehicle is fitted with the EOS Defence R-150
lightweight stabilised remote weapon station, which can accommodate a 5.56
mm/7.62mm light machine gun or 12.7mm heavy machine gun.
The new ATGM features a two-cell missile launcher carrying
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ Spike LR2 ATGM, which are guided by an
uncooled InfraRed seeker and a high-definition LED day sensor – with
communication supported by a fibre-optic bi-directional datalink with the
launch control unit – out to ranges of 5.5 kilometer.
