BrahMos – one of the most popular and news-making missiles of India, made headlines again.

While previously, BrahMos had undergone various tests, it added one more feather to its cap when it was successfully integrated and test-flown with IAF’s Su-30MKI frontline strike fighter at HAL Airport, Nashikon on June 25, 2016.

With this successful flight, the BrahMos air version programme now inches closer towards actual test firing, when a 2.5-ton Brahmos air-to-ground missile will be fired from the Sukhoi-30 in the coming months.

By the end of this year, IAF will be able to proudly say that it has the BrahMos firepower. BrahMos has demonstrated its capability multiple times and once it is test-fired from the IAF jet once, it will be ready for integration on all other Su-30s immediately.brahmos with su 30 India

Integration of BrahMos supersonic missile system on Su-30 MKI will make the world envy Indian Air Force (IAF). This is the most important step in the direction to giving the IAF incredible offensive capability on its frontline fighter aircraft.

Dr Kalam always believed in indigenous defence technology. But with the integration and test-flight of this supersonic missile system on Su-30 MKI, we have become the first in the world to have such a capability. All thanks to the vision of Dr Kalam.

The proud thing to note here is that no other country in the world has a missile system, the likes of BrahMos, integrated on its frontline fighter jets.

The Su-30-BrahMos combination will carry out air combat operations within and beyond visibility range and will provide the IAF with the capability of attacking targets protected by powerful air defence assets deep inside the enemy territory.

India to Buy M777 Howitzers to Tackle Indo-China Border

Looks like India is really pissed on China opposing India’s entry to NSG and not banning Masood Azhar.

Well, India has its own say. It is now planning to buy 155 mm M777 Ultra Lightweight Howitzer artillery guns from the US for the Mountain Strike Corps.

The deal is worth an estimated $750 million for 145 guns. Altogether, the Defence Acquisition Council, chaired by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, cleared 19 proposals worth Rs 28,000 crore.

The Mountain Strike Corps was raised in 2013 to defend India’s border in the northeast, which has a long international border with China. This is first major buy for the Mountain Strike Corps as the 17 Strike Corps is being raised with no new equipment, nor do they have a great stock.India to Buy M777 Howitzers to Tackle Indo-China Border

Ultra-light howitzers can be slung on helicopters and transported, unlike traditional guns that need to be moved over land which is difficult in the mountains.

These M-777 guns are tried and tested by US forces in the rugged badlands of Afghanistan. They have a strike range of 27 km.

Under the deal, 120 of the 145 guns will be assembled in India. The first 25 guns will be supplied in ready to use condition.

The Indian Army desperately needs 2,800 to 3,000 155 mm howitzers to replace the ageing Bofors cannons that were procured in 1986.

Once the deal is sealed, it will be the first artillery gun India buys after Bofors, after almost 30 years!

OTA Chennai Cadet Attempts Suicide

A trainee cadet of the Officer Training Academy (OTA), Chennai, attempted to end his life at a hotel in Araku on Thursday. However, his condition is stable. Mahendra Singh Rawat, 26, was said to be dejected by his failure to clear the courses at the academy.

The OTA is a training establishment of the Indian Army that trains officers for Short Service Commissions (SSC). Rawat, a native of Dehradun in Uttarakhand, came to Araku from Chennai and checked into a hotel on Wednesday night, the Araku Valley police police.

With Rawat not emerging from his room, hotel staff knocked on the door several times Thursday morning, but got no response. Growing suspicious, the door was opened with a master key and Rawat was found lying in a pool of blood.

He had slit his wrists. Police rushed to the spot and took the man to a hospital at Araku. Rawat had reportedly failed to clear some of the subjects in the academy and came to Araku to take his own life.

Police have registered a case and informed Rawat’s father Prem Singh. The family is expected to reach Araku on Friday.

“Doctors have said his health condition is stable. We are investigating and more details are yet to be known,” said Araku sub-inspector P Simhachalam.

All You Must Know About Indigenous Trainer HAL HTT-40

HAL HTT-40

In a boost to the defence pilot’s training capabilities on indigenous aircraft, the Hindustan Turbo Trainer-40 (HTT-40) took its inaugural flight.

The aircraft was flown by Group Captain C Subramaniam and Group Captain Venugopal for about 10 to 15 minutes at the HAL airport in Bengaluru on 17th July in the presence of defence minister Manohar Parrikar.

Here are the key points of this pet project:

HAL HTT-40:

  • The two-seater aircraft is designed and developed by the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Its design is inspired from the US Beechcraft T-6CT and the Swiss Pilatus PC-7 Mark II trainer jet.
  • HTT-40 will be used for the first-stage training for all flying cadets of the three services. Indian Air Force is expected to procure 70 HTT-40 aircraft.
  • The trainer consists of Digital Mock Up (DMU), real-time systems clash analysis, laser tracking of assembly jigs, six degrees of freedom, mathematical model and a complete glass cockpit.
  • Almost 50 per cent of the 4,000-odd components on HTT-40 are manufactured by private companies.
  • HTT-40 aircraft weighs about 2,800 kg.
  • It is powered by the Honeywell TPE331-12B turboprop engine of 950 shp class.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT:

  • While the HTT-40 programme was almost junked during the UPA rule, Parrikar pushed both IAF and HAL to ensure the development of the trainer.
  • Unlike Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas and other projects, which are dependent on advances from the government in the development stages, the HAL has earmarked ₹350 crore from its own funds for the project.
  • According to HAL, the team behind HTT-40 programme is “young” with an average age of 29 when it started.HAL HTT-40

HAL HTT-40 IN BUSINESS:

  • The programme aims to achieve its operational clearance by 2018, and towards this, the company will be manufacturing three prototypes and two static-test specimens.
  • The trainer could be up to 25 percent cheaper than the imported trainer and may also generate business of ₹ 3,000-4,000 crore for vendors from Bengaluru and Hyderabad in future.
  • HAL projects it will build the first two HTT-40 trainers in 2018, eight in 2019, and reach its capacity of 20 a year from 2020.
  • HAL hopes to build 200 HTT-40s, exporting a “weaponized” version to countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar, and some African customers.
  • The cost of the HTT-40 project stands at around $54 million.

Developing OLQs: How To Be More Responsible

By

So yeah, everyone wonders about it. Be it your girlfriend telling you or you really wants to develop this Officer Like Quality in you or your parents who scream at you every time asking you to be more responsible.

Whatever be the reason, being responsible is looked after as being matured and being more self-dependent. And officers are full of it.

Still wondering how can you become more responsible? Here are few tips that would do:

  1. Know what your drawbacks are: If you conquer this, you are half way across there. Know what you need to develop in yourself to be more responsible. It can be anything from taking care of your belongings to making your life decisions.
  2. Stop making excuses: In any situation, there are always some factors we can’t control. Irresponsible people tend to shift the blame onto those factors, and vocalize them as excuses. Anytime you make an excuse, what you’re really saying is “I am not responsible.”  Instead, admit why you really didn’t get that thing done. Were you too lazy, too tired, or just feeling like doing something more fun? It’s okay to admit it.
  3. Admit your mistakes: Making the most of a mistake is a huge responsibility in itself. The next time you find yourself in a similar situation, remind yourself about what you did wrong the last time and make sure you don’t go down that path again.
  4. Take more things into control: Try to be more independent. The more independent you become, the more you’ll mess up, and the more you’ll get better. Don’t curse yourself if you don’t happen to nail it this time. The fact that you realised you have to be better is being responsible in itself. It won’t happen overnight. It is a pretty significant part of your personality, so it will take the time to be uprooted.
  5. Don’t Procrastinate: Successful people are hard-working people. In order to earn and succeed in every aspect of your life, you need to work hard for it. Therefore, you need to be responsible. Without it, you will not make it big. The first step you could make towards the top is to stop procrastinating. Stop wasting precious time and do it now itself.
  6. Invoke self-discipline: To be self-disciplined, you have to set goals and meet them without getting distracted. What you are to yourself is what you really are. Make a manageable to-do list every day and try to complete as many tasks as you can.
  7. Be consistent: Responsibility means nothing if you constantly over and under-do it. This means building schedules and routines that work for you. Bring consistency into every aspect of your life and you’ll be much happier.
  8. No Complain, No Blame: Take full accountability for the actions you have made, and never claim that it is anyone else’s fault except your own. Talking negatively about every interaction in your life won’t get you far. Accept it and move ahead.

So, feel responsible already?

Fresh Pathankot Terror Attacks Likely Again, According to Intelligence

pathankot attack

India recently witnessed one of the deadly terror attacks on its military base in Pathankot on January 2 this year.

But according to Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC) on Home Affairs, terrorists are hiding in villages close to the “vulnerable” Pathankot airbase, which can come under fresh attack from them.

The government has been informed about it and security of the strategically important facility beefed up.

The committee was in Jammu to review the security arrangements along the international border and had earlier gone to Pathankot.

This came after a five-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) from Pakistan had visited India between March 27 and 31 to collect evidence with regard to the attack.

After the recommendation of the committee, the government has alerted the CRPF, BSF and the army and handed over the security of the airbase to them.

After this major development in the Pathankot case, the Interpol on Tuesday issued a fresh Red Corner notice against Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar and his brother Abdul Rauf for their alleged involvement in the attack on the Indian Air Force Base.
