lt raman

Every time we hear such stories, it boosts our confidence and gives us a hope that everything is possible we have the courage to face the difficulties and patience for working towards our goals. This is the story of Lt. Raman, an Indian navy sailor who worked hard despite odds and became an officer in the Indian army recently. The story of Lt. Raman will surely motivate young defence aspirants to achieve their goals.

 He was born in a Below Poverty line family. His father was a construction worker with a very low income. He completed his schooling at a local school with limited facilities. He cleared Engineering Entrance exam with a good rank and got a seat in a Govt College but Due to lack of funds, he had to quit his B.tech after the first year. Then to support his family he joined Indian Navy as a sailor in 2011. Meanwhile, he completed his graduation from Indira Gandhi National Open University in 2015. He then applied for various notifications to become an officer. However, he failed 9 times. But he kept on trying and finally after a long struggle of three years he cleared his SSB Interview in 2016 in 10th attempt. He joined OTA in April 2017 and got commissioned into the elite Indian Army as a Lieutenant.

DefExpo India has become one of the largest events of its kind in the world for the last 10 years. For the first time, DefExpo is being held in Tiruvidanthal, Kancheepuram near Chennai from 11 to 14 April 2018.

Shortly after the announcement of the dates of DefExpo 2018, there is an overwhelming response for participation from both foreign countries and domestic defence industries. 42 countries have already confirmed their participation and the number is expected to grow in the coming days.

The countries who have confirmed participation include major defence manufacturing nations like USA, UK, Russia, France, Israel, Korea, Sweden, among others. Several of the delegations participating in the DefExpoare expected to be at the ministerial level. Several top Service Officers (Army/ Navy/ Air Force) are also participating in the DefExpo 2018.

The main theme of this DefExpo 2018 is to showcase India as a major hub of defence production in the world. This has generated tremendous enthusiasm amongst the domestic industries to showcase their indigenously manufactured platforms and components. Nearly ten companies are booking space for DefExpo every day. DefExpo 2018 is expected to be held in nearly two lakh square metre of space.

India: The Emerging Defence Manufacturing Hub

DefExpo 2018 will, for the first time, project India’s Defence manufacturing capabilities to the world. This is reflected in the tagline for the Expo, which is ‘India: The Emerging Defence Manufacturing Hub’. DefExpo 2018 will brand India as a defence exporter of several defence systems and components for all three Services – Army, Navy and Air Force. While showcasing strengths of India’s substantial public sector, it will also uncover India’s growing private industry and spreading MSME base for components and sub-systems.

Boost to Indigenous Development:

DefExpo 2018 will brandish Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd’s various flying platforms including domestically designed and manufactured fourth-generation Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) – Tejas; Advanced Light Helicopter – Dhruv which have both civil as well as combat variants; Light Combat Helicopter for which IOC was received recently; Dornier civilian aircraft for which DGCA clearance was received and which is likely to be inducted for regional connectivity purposes. Apart from HAL’s platforms, the Expo will also promote domestic private industry and aero-components industry.

Expo of Naval Technology:

As the DefExpo is being held on sea-shore, along the East Coast road en route Chennai to Mahabalipuram, it provides Indian Navy to brandish its domestic design and manufacturing capabilities. India will proudly present its Naval designing capabilities in shipbuilding. India is one of the few countries of the world with capabilities to design a naval vessel from scratch to finish. India will also physically showcase, along with the shoreline several frigates, corvettes and other ships.

The exhibition will also unveil India’s capabilities in manufacturing Scorpene class submarine. Naval shipyards in public sector including Mazagon Docks, GRSE, Goa Shipyards, Hindustan Shipyard and private shipyards will bring to view their capabilities in manufacturing and servicing ships. Kattupalli shipyard of L&T is only 40 km from Chennai and visitors to DefExpo can easily visit the same. It is relevant to mention that Indian shipbuilding is marked by growing indigenisation levels and ‘float’ of ships built in India have nearly 90% indigenous components. There is growing demand for Indian built vessels from many countries in South Asia, ASEAN and Africa and DefExpo will be a perfect stage to unfold the might of India’s shipbuilding capabilities.

Showcase of Army’s Prowess:

As regards land systems, India will unveil its 155mm Advanced Towed Artillery Gun (ATAG) in DefExpo. This is the first time that India has its own ATAG which has been designed and developed by DRDO in partnership with Kalyani Group, Tata Power and OFBs. India also proposes to showcase its tank making capabilities, including MBT Arjun, T90 and T-72, Bridge Laying Tanks (BLTs) with a span of over 70 feet among others. India will also be showcasing 155mm artillery gun ‘Dhanush’. DefExpo will also provide an opportunity to showcase India’s plans for putting India on the global map of small arms manufacturing with its decision to manufacture about 7.5 lakh Assault Rifles, 3.5 lakh Carbines and about 40,000 LMGs.

India will also showcase its Missile and Rocket manufacturing capabilities, including BrahMos missiles available for all kind of attacks including surface-to-air, air-to-air and sea-to-air. Further Akash Missile system will be a major attraction at DefExpo. Pinaka rockets will also be highlighted during the show.

Given the focus on highlighting India as an emerging defence production hub, DefExpo 2018 has earmarked at least half the space for domestic exhibitors. This will make DefExpo 2018 the biggest ever opportunity to show their capabilities and integrate with the global supply chain of defence manufacturing. Emphasis is being given to inviting delegations from countries which have shown a keen interest in India’s weapon systems and platforms so that DefExpo 2018 provides a boost to overall defence manufacturing capabilities in the country and to its export potential.

How to register your business:

For those companies planning to participate in DefExpo 2018, the website (http://www.defexpoindia.in/) provides all necessary information in a comprehensive manner. It has complete registration details whether one is an international business visitor, company, MSME or a general visitor. DefExpo is open for business visitors from April 11-14, 2018 and for the general public on April 14th. The deadline to register is 15 March 2018.

50% concessional rates have been offered to MSMEs, thereby making it extremely easy for them to participate in the Expo.

DefExpo and Government of Tamil Nadu Tourism Department have tied up with hotels in and around Chennai for the benefit of outstation visitors during the DefExpo. Special rates have been negotiated with these hotels so that the visitors, especially foreign delegates do not face difficulty.

What Was The Two Month Long War Game Indian Navy Concluded?

war game

The Indian Navy concluded a gruelling two-month long War Game on 28 February 2018. The extensive War Games saw the participation of all the operational ships, submarines and aircraft of the Navy along with men and equipment of the Army, all types of aircraft of the Air Force and ships and aircraft of the Coast Guard.

Why was it conducted?

The War Games conducted on both the Seaboards of India extending from the Northern Arabian sea off the coast of Gujarat to the Southern Indian Ocean off the Sunda Straits near Indonesia.

The War Games were the first of the kind to be conducted on both seaboards indicative of the Navy’s threat perceptions of a two-front war. The War Game on the Eastern seaboard was codenamed ENCORE (Eastern Naval Command Operational Readiness Exercise) and on the Western seaboard, the codename was Exercise Paschim Lehar.

The Chief of Naval Staff in Feb 2017 had ordered a comprehensive review of the way the Navy exercised at sea. This review included both, peacetime operations as well as the training and preparations for war. The internal review undertaken by the Navy resulted in the ‘Mission-based Deployment’ concept which has been put into action since Jul 2017. Mission-ready ships are now forward deployed in critical areas of the IOR with the inherent capability to respond to emerging threats and benign situations. The Navy has already reaped rich dividends from this concept and large excerpts of this were also spoken about by Prime Minister Modi in his Mann ki Baat interactions.

In preparation for conflict, the Navy revamped its Operational Exercise plans to make them more contemporary and realistic. In a two-year cycle promulgated by Naval Headquarters, the Indian Navy has literally ‘cut the flab’ in the various exercises undertaken at sea. Greater focus has been accorded to conflict readiness across the spectrum as well as realistic scenarios likely to be faced at sea. The questions, ‘How does this affect the Nation’s security?’ and ‘How does it keep the common citizen safe?’ has been applied to all existing exercises and War games. The focus has been on realistic scenarios likely to manifest in the future including terrorist attacks from the sea on critical infrastructure and populated areas, Defence of the offshore oil resources of the country and protection of the large seaborne trade of India.

Tri-Service Response to Threats:

The Navy, with the realisation that future conflicts and contingencies are likely to invariably be Tri-service in their responses, ensured the participation of the other services with critical capabilities and specialised equipment to ensure a National response to situations.

The War Games saw the Operational Commanders of the Navy and other services being put through crisis situations from benign Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief to full-fledged conflict situations. The War Games will now be followed by extensive debriefings to identify key takeaways and formulate measures to further strengthen contingency plans.

Conclusion:

While the nation went about their daily lives as if everything was normal, the dedicated Officers and men of the Armed Forces were exercising against threats from the sea that impinge upon the lives of the common citizen as well as their safe and peaceful future.

China To Build Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier – A Threat For India?

By

China AC
China AC

China’s plan of transforming its navy into a blue-water force by 2025 gets a boost with the development of its first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

China is planning a larger, conventionally powered aircraft carrier that makes use of electromagnetic catapults to launch aircraft. It previously announced that there had been a breakthrough that will allow the ship to generate enough power to operate the catapults. Chinese Navy currently has aircraft carriers that can only launch using ski-jumps. This restricts their ability to operate aircraft such as turboprop-powered airborne early warning aircraft.

News Taken Down:

China’s state-owned China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) announced this in a news release. The original news release has now been deleted from the CSIC’s website and is replaced by one with vague references. The announcement by CSIC seems to be subsequently edited on the company’s website to remove the mention of nuclear-powered vessels, but it remains widely available on the Chinese internet. CSIC is China’s largest Naval Vessel manufacturer.

CSIC built China’s first home-built aircraft carrier, which was launched in April last year and is expected to enter service in 2020, once it has been fitted out and armed.

This is the first time a state-owned Chinese defence firm has openly identified nuclear-powered aircraft carriers on its agenda.

A “World Class Fighting Force”:

Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged in October last year to turn China’s military into a world-class fighting force by 2050 and has made new technology development a key policy plank, investing in stealth fighters, aircraft carriers and missiles.

Chinese state media has quoted experts as saying that the country needs at least six carriers, an endeavour expected to take decades. The United States operates 10 and plans to build two more.

Current Aircraft Carriers With China:

China commissioned its first-ever aircraft carrier, Liaoning, a refurbished Soviet ship it bought from Ukraine, in 2012. Its second carrier is the first domestically built carrier, known as Type 001A. It was launched in April last year. A third aircraft carrier, Type 002, is said to be under construction at the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard Group, although it has yet to be officially confirmed by authorities.

Increased Presence in Foreign Waters:

China’s navy has been taking an increasingly prominent role over the last year, with its first aircraft carrier sailing around self-ruled Taiwan and new Chinese warships popping up in far-flung places.

Due to the long endurance of nuclear-powered ships, China will be able to successfully carry out operations in far-off waters such as the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

It is to be noted that the US military is periodically sending warships and air force jets to assert freedom of flights and navigation over the strategic South China Sea as China claims most of it. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have counterclaims over the area. China also has a maritime territorial dispute with Japan in the East China Sea.

 What does it mean for India:

There has been growing rivalry between Beijing and New Delhi in the Indian Ocean lately. However, considering the current growth rate, China is not likely to overtake India in naval strength in the region in the next two-three decades, despite increasing presence of the Chinese navy and planned new Chinese naval bases around SCS and IOR.

Also, with growing Pak-China ties, Pakistan’s ports on the Indian Ocean are widely expected to host a new Chinese military base in the near future.

India, however, secured access to naval facilities in Oman and Seychelles, along with having an upper hand in the Indian Ocean Region thanks to its geographical proximity.

China, on the other hand, has a very adverse land-to-coastline ratio. Its coast in the east is very far from the source of natural resources. Because of this, it needs to come to the Indian Ocean desperately as its economic power continues to grow.

“India is stronger in the Indian Ocean because China has to go through choke points in Southeast Asia. Their logistic line is very stretched. Although they have an aircraft carrier, it would take them a long time, probably decades, to incorporate that into an aircraft carrier battle group, which would allow them to achieve sea-control in the Indian Ocean. In this sense, it would take two-three decades. India still has a great advantage over the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean” – an Indian Naval Captain told Sputnik, an international media.
