Upcoming-Beasts-in-Indian-Defense-Forces

With increasing threats from neighbours and keeping the need and modernisation of armed forces in mind, India is growing its tentacles in weapons and war machines construction. Several indications have made India to take steps ahead in bolstering its security and defense services. Foreign procurement and make in India has made India self-reliant. Some of the projects that are almost completed and undergoing trails are here.

Nirbhay cruise missile

Nuclear capable cruise missile, Nirbhay is set for third test fire. The missile has undergone 2 test fire in March 2013 and October 2014.The missile is said to be equivalent to America’s famous missile tomahawk. DRDO will conduct the test fire of the missile. As per the sources, the missile is made for land warfare, but it will be made for naval and air tasks also in future. The two stage missile works as a rocket in first stage and then turns to 90 degrees to run horizontally, getting into cruise mode. The missile uses auto pilot and navigation technology that is used in India’s UAV Nishant. The missile is subsonic and can attain a speed of up to 900-1,000 km per hour and a range of 1,000 kms, which will help it to target its prey accurately.Upcoming-Beasts-in-Indian-Defense-Forces

Brahmos missile

On the other hand, air-launched Brahmos cruise missile, weighing 2.5 tonnes and world’s fastest cruise missile, will go through its maiden trials through specially modified Sukhoi -30 fighter planes from November. The missile will be ready for use in mid of 2016. Land and navy version of Brahmos are already in service which are 500 Kgs heavier than air vision. The missile has a range of 290 Kms and can attain a speed of 2-3 times the speed of sound.

INS Arihant

INS Arihant, is all set to hold its missile fire tests. India’s first indigenously developed nuclear submarine has completed its sea trails and heading to its missile trails. As per the expectations, the submarine will be handed over to Indian navy by February 2016 after completing trails. The nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine built at Vishakhapatnam under Indian navy’s advanced technology vessel project. Its engine is powered with uranium fuel. It was publicly introduced in 2009 on the 10th anniversary of Kargil diwas.

Dhanush and Tejas

Dhanush howitzer, also known as Desi Bofors will overcome the thirst of Indian army. 155mm gun with 45 calibers will be handed over to Indian army by November of this year. The gun made by ordinance factory board, Kolkata is has a range of 38 kms. Meanwhile, everybody is aware of induction of India’s Tejas into Indian air force. Recent announcements have been made to increase the number of aircraft to be inducted from 40 to 120. DRDO hopefully said that minimum 5 jets will be there in the sky during the next Indian air force day celebration. According to DRDO, Tejas’s trainer version has completed weather trials and will undergo more we opens trials in next six months.

All these will make forces more strong with a wide range of weapons against enemies. Induction of new weapons along with the modification is going on high pace. New entrants in armed forces will surely take India to a new level.

Flying Officer Nirmaljit Singh Sekhon: The Bravest Of The Brave

0
Flying-Officer-Nirmal-Jit-Singh-Sekhon

Hello, Warriors! Nirmaljit Singh Sekhon was born on 17 July 1943 at Rurka Isewal village in Ludhiana District. He was the son of Warrant Officer Hon. Flight Lieutenant Trilok Singh Sekhon of the Indian Air Force. As any normal Sikh child, he was raised with the virtue of gallantry and sacrifice by his parents.

Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was an officer of the Indian Air Force and the posthumous recipient of the only Param Vir Chakra awarded to an Indian Air Force Personnel. He was commissioned into the Indian Air Force on June 4, 1967 as a Flying Officer. His award was in recognition of his lone and fatal defence of Srinagar Air Base during an air raid during the 1971 Indo-Pak War.

MILITARY ACTION:

On 14 December 1971, Srinagar airfield was attacked by a wave of six PAF F-86 jets. Flying Officer Sekhon was on readiness duty at that time. Soon the enemy aircraft started hovering over the airfield. Straffing of various targets on the ground followed. Attempting to take-off with enemy aircraft overhead and the runway under attack was suicidal. However, Flying Officer Sekhon, unmindful of his safety, flew his Folland Gnat to engage the two attacking Sabres. In the air battle that ensued, he secured a direct hit on one Sabre and set another ablaze. The latter was seen heading away towards Rajauri, trailing smoke and flame.

The daily attacks by Sabres had caused damage to the runway but the repair gangs always ensured that the runway was never out of permanent service. So, when the Sabres of Pakistani commander Changazi, Dotani, Andrabi and Mir attacked the airfield carrying 500 lbs bombs each, Sekhon lost no time in singling out the first Sabre Pair, which was forming its original position after the bombing run. Nirmaljit’s leader Lt. Ghuman lost contact with the wingman, and therefore, Sekhon was left with six Pakistani Sabres on his tail gunning for his aircraft.

At this juncture four more Pakistani Sabres came on the scene and surrounded his aircraft. He chose to give a fight again. In the dog fight that ensued at tree-top level, he held on against the numerically superior enemy for some time. Eventually, his aircraft was hit and he was killed. But Flying Officer Sekhon had achieved his objective. The Pakistani aircraft fled from the scene of the battle, without pressing home, the intended attack on Srinagar airfield and its surrounding areas. The bravery, flying skill and determination displayed by Flying Officer Sekhon, earned him the highest wartime gallantry medal, Param Vir Chakra. His skill was later praised in an article by Salim Baig Mirza, the pilot who shot him down.

The PVC citation of Flg Ofr Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon read:

“Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was a pilot of a Gnat detachment based at Srinagar for the air defence of the valley against Pakistani air attacks. In accordance with the international agreement dating back to 1948, no air defence aircraft were based at Sirinagar, until the outbreak of hostilities with Pakistan. Flying Officer Sekhon was, therefore, unfamiliar with the terrain and was not acclimatised to the altitude of Srinagar, especially with the bitter cold and biting winds of the Kashmir winter. Nevertheless, from the outset of the war, he and his colleagues fought successive waves of intruding Pakistani aircraft with valour and determination, maintaining the high reputation of the Gnat aircraft. On 14th December 1971, Srinagar Airfield was attached by a wave of six enemy Sabre aircraft. Flying Officer Sekhon was on readiness duty at the time. However, he could not take off at once because of the clouds of dust raised by another aircraft which had just taken off. By the time the runway was fit for take-off, no fewer than six enemy aircraft were overhead, and strafing of the airfield was in progress. Nevertheless, inspite of the mortal danger of attempting to take off during an attack, and inspite of the odds against him, Flying Officer Sekhon took off and immediately engaged a pair of the attacking Sabres. In the fight that followed, at tree top height, he all but held his own, but was eventually overcome by sheer weight of numbers. His aircraft crashed and he was killed. In thus, sacrificing himself for the defence of Srinagar, Flying Officer Sekhon achieved his object, for the enemy aircraft fled from the scene of the battle without pressing home their attack against the town and the airfield. The sublime heroism, supreme gallantry, filying skill and determination, above and beyond th call of duty, displayed by Flying Officer Sekhon in the face of certain death, set new heights to Air Force traditions.”

Lessons To Learn From The Life Of Mahatma Gandhi

0
Mahatma-Gandhi-quotes

Hello, Warriors! 2nd Oct 2015 marks the 146th birth anniversary of Father of The Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Though the title, ‘Father of The Nation’ is not officially declared, as the Constitution of India does not permit a father of nation, it is mostly conferred to him due to his values and contribution to make India a free nation.

Following are the values to learn from the life of Mahatma Gandhi:

  1. Be What You Are: Gandhiji had the moral courage to visit Buckingham Palace in London clad in his usual simple attire. He casually joked that the king was wearing enough clothes for both of them. This can inspire you to stick to your moral convictions at any cost. Believe in yourself and fight the odds bravely in tough times. Be Yourself.
  1. Be The Change You Want to See: Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” We all crib about things which are not right in our lives and around us. We blame every possible person, government or organisation. However, we seldom do our bit. It is first important to change yourself and try being what you truly are and then expect a change in others.Mahatma-Gandhi-quotes
  1. Think Positive, Be Positive: Gandhiji once prominently said: “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” Your thoughts becomes your feelings, your feelings become your actions, your actions become your habit and it’s your habit that defines you. Therefore stay positive and your entire predicament will feel much less significant.
  1. Instead of ‘Give and Get’, ‘Forgive and Forget’: Gandhiji said, “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.” He believed that only strong people can forgive and forget. So, believe in the power of forgiveness and forget about it; it will help you grow as a person and bring peace.
  1. Be an Example for others: Gandhi said that to change the world, one should start by first changing oneself. So take a good look at the man or woman in the mirror, and make the necessary improvements to become a better person. You cannot hope to inspire others if you do not lead an exemplary life yourself.
  1. Don’t Say ‘Die’: Mahatma Gandhi was one of the freedom fighters who never gave up on the British rule. He fought till the end and made India a proud and free nation. Never give up on your dreams. Be persistent and face every problem with a brave soul. Never have a ‘do or die’ attitude-always do it, before you die.
  1. Be Determined: Mahatma Gandhi knew this really well. His consistency, hardwork and sheer dedication made him excel in everything he did. Be determined and consistent in whatever you do. It is a virtue of successful people.
  1. It’s how you do is all that matters: Gandhiji believed that one’s journey to the goal is more important than the goal itself. That is why he followed the noble method of non-violent protest to fight the British. Gandhiji showed that however important one’s goal may be, it is virtuous to adopt honest and upright means to reach it.

Gandhiji’s brave and successful struggle for Indian independence started the end of British colonialism. He proved that one small man can create big change with his exemplary principles and character. One can learn from his example, and lead a simple and productive life of courage and high moral values, that is fulfilling to oneself and inspires others too.
