‘Whoever are fugitives, we will bring them back’, MEA reacts to viral video of Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi

Mirage 2000: Indian Air Force (IAF) Headquarters is seriously considering inducting the indigenous Astra Mk 1 Beyond Visual Range Air to Air Missile (BVRAAM) in the upgraded fleet of Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft. This decision can play an important role in bridging the capability gap of the Air Force till the arrival of foreign next generation missiles.

Currently, the Indian Air Force’s Mirage 2000 aircraft rely on MICA IR and MICA RF missiles, whose effective strike range is said to be around 80 kilometers. According to defense sources, this range is now considered less than the long-range missile systems available with regional rivals, which may impact air combat capability.

Work continues on MICA NG

According to the report of idrw.org, European defense company MBDA is working on the next generation MICA NG (New Generation) missile, whose estimated range will be 150 to 160 kilometers. This missile has been confirmed to be compatible with India’s upgraded Mirage 2000 5 aircraft. However, its delivery is expected by the end of 2028-29, while full operational clearance may take an additional 3 to 4 years due to the testing and integration process.

Upgraded Mirage 2000 equipped with RDY 2 radar

Thales RDY 2 all-weather synthetic aperture radar has been installed in the upgraded Mirage 2000 aircraft of the Indian Air Force. This radar is capable of tracking fighter targets with 5 square meter radar cross section from a distance of 120 to 140 kilometers. Earlier Mirage variants had Thomson CSF RDM radar, but the RDY 2 is now considered more capable for multi-mode and BVR warfare. If the Astra Mk 1 is approved for inclusion in the Mirage 2000, it will require technical collaboration with Thales. With this, an accurate data link can be established between the RDY 2 radar and the Astra missile, so that the fire and forget capability and guidance of the missile remains fully effective. Astra Mk 1 has already been successfully operationalized on Su 30MKI and Tejas fighter aircraft.

Strategic benefits will come soon from indigenous option

While MICA NG may have to wait until the early 2030s for full deployment, Astra Mk 1 appears to be a timely, cost-effective and indigenous interim solution. The deployment of Astra Mk 1 with the strong detection capability of the RDY 2 radar can quickly increase the striking range and lethality of the Mirage 2000 fleet.

Self-reliant India will get a big boost

The decision to include Astra Mk 1 in Mirage 2000 will strengthen the Self-reliant India initiative. This will not only lead to widespread use of indigenous missile systems, but will also reduce dependence on foreign upgrades. Additionally, it will help keep the Mirage 2000 aircraft relevant in future challenging air combat scenarios.

As a result, we are taking strong steps in the direction of becoming self-reliant in the urea sector in the coming times.”

Indian Railways has taken a big step forward towards running the country’s first hydrogen-powered train. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha that the construction of the country’s first hydrogen train-set has been completed. This train set has been developed as per the standards set by Research, Design and Standards Organization (RDSO). Now, to supply the hydrogen required for the operation of the train, a green hydrogen production plant based on electrolysis process is also being established in Jind, Haryana.

The Railway Minister has said that this hydrogen train set is the longest and most powerful hydrogen train-set. Also, this train-set has been completely indigenously designed and developed, which also shows the commitment of Indian Railways towards self-reliant India.

World’s longest and most powerful hydrogen train

According to the Railway Minister, the country’s first hydrogen train-set is the world’s longest (10 coaches) and most powerful (2400 kW) hydrogen train-set running on broad gauge. This train-set consists of two Driving Power Cars (DPC) with a capacity of 1200 kW per power car i.e. 2400 kW in total.

8 passenger coaches installed in hydrogen train

Eight passenger coaches have been installed in the hydrogen train set. Environment friendly technology has been used. This hydrogen-powered train set produces zero carbon dioxide emissions and its only emission is water vapour. This next generation railway fuel technology is a big leap for Indian Railways in the development of clean, green and alternative fuel based technology.

The Railway Minister has said in reply that this is the first effort of Indian Railways from the first phase of the project to prototype construction and development of hydrogen traction technology. Since it is still a pilot project, it is not right to compare its cost with the existing conventional traction systems.

The country has made a mega deal of about 120 Tejas MK2 fighter aircraft from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). With the involvement of these aircraft, the fleet of the Indian Air Force (IAF) will be more powerful. HAL has made it clear that the company will hand over 30 fighter jets to the Air Force every year, so that the old MIG-29, Mirage-2000 and Jaguar aircraft can be filled in time. It is estimated that the final order of the Indian Air Force (IAF) may be more than 200 aircraft. This step is a major achievement towards India’s military modernization and self -sufficiency in the defense sector.

Tejas MK2 will replace old fighter jets

The Indian Air Force is going to remove its old fighter aircraft in the coming years. These include Russia’s MIG-29, France’s Mirage-20000 and Anglo-French’s Jaguar. Their total number is about 230. After these aircraft retires, the Air Force will need new modern aircraft and Tejas MK2 will be included to meet this need.

What is HAL’s plan?

The Indian Air Force has initially ordered 120 Tejas MK2 order to HAL, but the number of old aircraft is close to 230, so the final order can be more than 200. HAL is planning to increase its production capacity keeping this possibility in mind.

What is special in Tejas MK2?

Tejas MK2 is a 4.5 generation of medium weight multi-rol fighter aircraft. This Tejas is more powerful and modern than MK1A. It will have a General Electric F414 engine, which will make it more powerful. It will have the UTTAM AESA radar made in the country, which will greatly increase the capacity to monitor and target the target. This aircraft will also be able to use modern weapons, including India’s own long -range Astra missile. Tejas MK2 has been designed in such a way that it can fill the technical gap between existing aircraft and the fifth generation AMCA aircraft to be built in the future.

How many Tejas will be ready every year?

According to the report of the website named Defense.com, HAL has already prepared three assembly lines for Tejas MK1A. 30 aircraft will be made every year by 2028 from these lines. For Tejas MK2, HAL has fixed the initial production rate of 24 aircraft per year. Accordingly, the Air Force will get 120 aircraft by 2036. If the final order is more than 200, HAL will increase its capacity to 30 aircraft per year. In this way, delivery of a large number of aircraft can be completed on time.

Large partnership in engine manufacture

The engines for Tejas MK2 will be made in India only. For this, there has been a historic agreement between HAL and American company General Electric. Under this agreement, the GE F414 engines will be prepared under license production in India itself. This is a big step towards self -sufficient Bharat Abhiyan.

When will the first Tejas fighter jet fly?

Tejas MK2 development works are moving fast. The first flight of this fighter jet is likely to be held in the year 2027. After this, its serial production will be started from 2031. The scheme will play an important role in meeting the war capacity and future needs of the Indian Air Force.

The Indian forces are now going to buy BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles on a large scale after heavy damage to Pakistan’s military structures during Operation Sindoor. The missile is a joint project of India-Russia and is counted among the fastest and accurate missiles in the world.

Approval will be given from high level meeting of Ministry of Defense
According to top defense sources, this purchase may soon get the green signal in a high level meeting of the Ministry of Defense. The Indian Navy warships, especially the vessels of the heroic, will be equipped with these missiles. At the same time, they will also be used on SU-30 MKI fighters of Russian origin of the Air Force.

BrahMos role in Operation Sindoor
The Indian Air Force used BrahMos missiles extensively in Operation Sindoor, which lasted for four days. With the help of these missiles, Pakistan’s airbase, army cantonment and terrorist bases were destroyed by accurately targeting. The Indian Air Force also attacked the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistani Punjab province with the same missile.

Pakistan Army retaliation and terrorist protection
The Pakistan Army made efforts to protect the terrorists and their structure after widespread losses from BrahMos missiles. In retaliation, she landed on a strategy to protect the terrorist structures by shielding himself. According to the information, the Indian Navy is preparing to deploy BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles on its brave class warships, while the Air Force is planning to include them in its Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jets.

Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appreciated the impressive performance of indigenous weapons during ‘Operation Sindoor’. He said that India’s air defense system, missiles, drones and BrahMos missiles in this campaign proved that ‘self -reliant India’ has now emerged as a strong and capable nation.

Prime Minister Modi appreciated
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently appreciated the role of indigenous weapons in Operation Sindoor and said- ‘During Operation Sindoor, the world saw the strength of our indigenous weapons. Our air defense systems, missiles and drones become proof of the power of ‘self -reliant India’, especially the BrahMos missile. ‘

The Indian Army is now going to bring new and modern helicopters instead of its old Chetak and Cheetah helicopters. For this, the army has planned to buy 126 light utility helicopters (LUH) from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). This deal is now in its last phase and is expected to be approved soon.

What is the specialty of these new helicopters?

HAL has designed and designed this helicopter completely in India. This helicopter is specially designed to work in mountains and height areas.

• It can fly up to a height of 6,500 meters (21,300 ft).
• Its speed is 235 km per hour.
• It can fly up to 350 km at a time.

Due to these features, this helicopter will be very helpful in the works like Ladakh, Siachen and other inaccessible areas, withdrawal of soldiers and goods, withdrawal and monitoring of injured soldiers.

Why is this change important?

The army is currently using Chetak and Cheetah helicopter, they are made on the technology of the 1960s and many helicopters have been more than 30 years old. Flying with them is no longer free from danger. The new Luh helicopters will increase both the security and strength of the army.

Initial batch ready, technical problems are also resolved

Earlier there were some technical problems in this project, such as trouble in flight control and autopylot system. But now HAL has told that all the problems have been overcome and the first 6 helicopters have also been prepared.

Promoting self -sufficient India

This deal will not only increase the strength of the army, but will also promote indigenous defense building in the country. This purchase of 126 helicopters is part of a large scheme of a total of 225 LuH helicopters. This will give a new speed to India’s ‘self -sufficient India’ campaign. These will prove to be very effective in delivering goods on China’s LAC and Pakistan’s LoC.
