Lt. Hitesh Kumar Kargil Martyr’s Son

19 years after his father was martyred in Kargil, Hitesh Kumar has been commissioned as a lieutenant in the Indian Army after passing out of the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun. Hitesh was only six years old when his father, a lance naik in the 2nd Battalion of Rajputana Rifles, was martyred at Tololing, in Kargil, on the night of June 12, 1999. On hearing the news of his father’s death, Hitesh vowed to join the Army.

Interestingly, Lt. Hitesh will be serving in the same battalion as his father, the report added.

“For 19 years, I dreamt of joining the Army. It became my mother’s dream too. Now I want to serve my country with pride and honesty,” said Hitesh.

“It has been a difficult life since Bachan was martyred. I dedicated my life to raising my two sons. Today I am proud that Hitesh was commissioned into the Army. His younger brother, Hemant, is also preparing to join the Army. There is nothing more I could ask for,” said a tearful Kamesh Bala, Hitesh’s mother.

“Bachan was a brave soldier. When our battalion was attacked at Tololing, he was shot in the head and died on the battlefield. We lost 17 soldiers that day, including Maj Vivek Gupta from Dehradun. I am glad Bachan’s son has received his commission. His father would have been proud of him,” said Rishipal Singh, who was in Bachan’s battalion. Lt. Hitesh Kumar

Born on October 23, 1994, Lt Hitesh has a twin brother Hemant, a minute older than him, who is also preparing to join the Army. Sharing his 19-year-long journey to achieve his dreams, he says soon after his father’s martyrdom his mother put him in Rashtriya Military School at Chail in Himachal Pradesh.

A B.Com (Honours) from Delhi University’s prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce, he had the option of joining the Faculty of Management and a high-flying corporate career.“But for me, life without being in the Army was unthinkable. I had decided that if I fail to do so I will join the paramilitary forces. After school, I cleared the NDA’s written exam but failed to clear the interview,” says Lt Hitesh. A keen sportsperson, he plays basketball and loves reading historical fiction and mythology.

Recommended For Indian Air Force and Navy

Dear SSBCrack, First I’d to thank the team again for playing a big role in my success at SSB. My name is Kshitijnoor Singh and my father is a retired Colonel from Indian Army. It had been a childhood burning desire to join the Forces and follow father’s footsteps. He’s a 4th Generation officer in our family and I had to continue the legacy! I couldn’t clear written for NDA so I was left for all Graduate entries after Graduation.

I got recommended twice. Once from 1 AFSB Dehradun, Afcat entry but got merit out. Then got recommended for Indian Navy in December 2017 and made it into merit list. My father, my best friend and SSBCrack are the ones who’ve helped me a lot for this success. I’ll put down the entire experience of the last ssb here.

It was an amazing experience. Right from reporting day to the last one, it was beautiful. I had been to SCC Bhopal about a year ago for CDSE entry. However this was going to be different, since this time, it was for Navy.

Reporting Day: About 80 candidates reported on 20th Dec 2017. I made friends right at the station. We were taken to SSB center, got documents checked and chest numbers given. There were other batches for NCC entry, both boys and girls. It got pretty late completing verification and we got our beds pretty late. Still, a friend and I chose to watch a movie on phone before calling it a day.

Screening Day: I was familiar to process being a repeater, everything went well, I had performed well and was sure of getting screened in. Although when the DSO announced results, she skipped my chest number and I my heart sank. But then she called out my number later. What a relief it was!! We moved with further documentation. I got chest number 10, just like my dad did when it was his ssb.

Day 2: I hadn’t prepared any differently for psych tests, just a blank story and SD paragraphs. I rather took advise of not preparing tat slides beforehand.
And thankfully, psych tests went really good. I completed all TAT, 56 SRT, and 59 WAT. My interview was scheduled for same day but got postponed to next. So we went out. We went bowling to DB mall.indian navy recommended

Day 3,4: GTO tasks were just amazing. We had 2 characters in our group who did exactly opposite to what the GTO briefed or group decided. The PGT, HGT, GOR were fun, so were GPE and GDs. I could complete 13 obstacles in the IO course.
For the CT, 4 of my friends called me, it was good to help them. For my CT, the GTO gave me really good one. Movable obstacles, rotating ones. He kept changing colors, not accepting my ideas, and still somehow when I completed, he asked my subordinates to leave and asked me to do another single obstacle. That was new for me, hadn’t heard of this happening before. On Day 3, I went for Interview right after Gto, in same dress, and the interview went okay. I couldn’t answer few questions but answered others pretty well.

We went out again to upper lake and to few other places.

Current Affairs eBooks

Day 5(25 Dec 2017): The night before Conference day, my friends and I stayed up quite late, talking and laughing. On the day, I was confident of making it. I was getting the vibes. I couldn’t afford not getting recommended. I had performed well.
I was called in after a 5min wait, I was asked normal questions, which made me sure that the result is going to be positive.
After lunch, we assembled in the hall, the DSO briefed us for good 30 minutes. He finally announced results. And I made it. I got recommended. I stood and spelled my name and went out of the hall. It was an amazing feeling. Just an utterly amazing. I was hoping for few more candidates getting recommended but only I made it. Then I met the President of the board, he congratulated and then I couldn’t stop smiling and being happy.
I informed my parents and my best friend. They were super happy 😀

Then medicals started, and the candidates recommended for NCC entry were also there, we became good friends ;D

It was an amazing and memorable experience. I had laughed my heart out during my stay there.

6th Test Fire Of The State-Of-The-Art Agni 5 Missile Successful

Agni Cover

India recently test-fired its indigenously developed nuclear-capable Long Range Ballistic Missile Agni-5 successfully. This was the sixth trial of the state-of-the-art Agni-5.

The missile was launched at Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Dr Abdul Kalam Island in the Bay of Bengal near Odisha. The missile covered its full distance during the trial which was a total success.

The flight performance of the missile was tracked and monitored by radars, tracking instruments and observation stations all through the mission.

About Agni V

Unlike other missiles of the series, Agni-5 is the most advanced with new technologies in terms of navigation and guidance, warhead and engine.

Agni V is a three-stage, 17-metre tall, 2-metre wide. It is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead of about 1.5 tonnes. The missile also has higher reliability, longer shelf life, less maintenance and enhanced mobility.

Many new technologies developed indigenously were successfully tested in this trial. Navigation systems, very high accuracy Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (RINS) and the most modern and accurate Micro Navigation System (MINS) had ensured the missile reached the target point within few meters of accuracy.

The surface-to-surface Agni V missile has a strike range of 5,000 km.

Complex Trajectory

The missile has been programmed in such a way that after reaching the peak of its trajectory, it will turn towards the earth and continue its journey towards the intended target with an increased speed due to the attraction of earth’s gravitational pull. The path has been precisely directed by the advanced on-board computer and inertial navigation system.

As the missile enters the earth’s atmosphere, the atmospheric air rubbing the skin of the missile during the re-entry phase raises the temperature beyond 4,000 degrees Celsius.

However, the indigenously designed and developed carbon-carbon composite heat shield continues to burn sacrificially, protecting the payload and maintaining the inside temperature below 50 degrees Celsius.

Finally, commanded by the on-board computer, the missile hit the designated target point accurately.

Earlier Tests

The first test of Agni-5 was conducted on April 19, 2012, the second on September 15, 2013, the third on January 31, 2015 and fourth on December 26, 2016. The last test was held on January 18, 2018.

All the five earlier trials were successful.

At present, apart from the Agni-5, other Agni missiles that India has in its armoury are: Agni-1 with a 700-km range, Agni-2 with a 2,000-km range, Agni-3 and Agni-4 with 2,500 km to more than 3,500 km range.

After some few more trials, Agni-5 will be inducted into the services.

DRDO Successfully Tests New Missile: Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR)

SFDR

India has developed Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) technology in collaboration with Russia. Its successful use in missiles will mark India’s entry into a select club of nations that use next-generation missile technology against maneuvering targets, compromising the effectiveness of conventional missiles.

The SFDR technology was jointly developed by India and Russia. The missile with this technology achieved a speed of Mach 3 during its first test flight. The technology is being viewed as the Indian version of the French Meteor. It was launched from the Integrated Test Range facility off the coast of Odhisha.

It’s Just the Beginning

It was a booster phase test of the missile and the mission was a major milestone for the strategic missile program. The nozzle-less booster, and SFDR was tested successfully.

The DRDO will test other components of the missile such as its high technology seeker equipment very soon. The 250-kilogram SFDR missile has been under development since 2013.

The new technology will help both surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles perform better and enhance their strike range, making the weapons more lethal. Now India can have the fastest long-range missiles in the two categories, providing full-fledged and multi-layered aerial protection from hostile attacks.

SFDR Missile
SFDR Missile

Even as India has surface-to-air missile systems like Akash, Break 8, QRSAM and all-weather beyond visual range air-to-air missile Astra, the indigenously developed SFDR will help the country master in the cutting edge technology which was secured by a few selected nations so far. The fastest missile in its class is capable of neutralising fast moving aerial targets.

The Design

The design scheme is very similar to that of Meteor BVRAAM with two air ducts, although DRDO’s 250kg SFDR is around 75kg heavier than 185kg Meteor. Unlike traditional rocket motor, SFDR can throttle its engine during different phases of flight especially while approaching its target it can throttle up and able to maneuver and attack even rapidly maneuvering targets.

The design of the SFDR propulsion allows for throttling up and down, enabling the missile to increase the speed as it reaches the terminal phase of the flight, or when sharp turns are required in pursuit of highly maneuvering targets.

Ramjet Technology
Ramjet Technology

Compared to conventional rockets that must carry a propellant and oxidizer – Ramjet, like a jet engine, uses the air as an oxidizer thus eliminates the weight of that fuel. Therefore, such missile can carry more fuel or use a smaller propulsion unit.

Conclusion

At the present, a lot of missiles, which use a booster/sustainer configuration with solid or liquid propellants, have limitations against maneuvering targets, since conventional missiles, at the terminal stage, cannot provide enough energy to maintain their speed in order to hit the targets. SFDR technology will exceptionally enhance endgame maneuverability at the terminal stage when the seeker is locked onto a target.

DRDO Successfully Test-Fires Upgraded Guided Version Of Pinaka Rocket

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully test-fired upgraded guided version of Pinaka Rocket from Proof & Experimental Establishment (PXE) at Chandipur, Odisha.

The test was carried out from a multi-barrel launcher at about 10.35 AM from the firing point of the Proof & Experiment Establishment (PXE) under DRDO.

It can fire a salvo of 12 rockets in 44 seconds.

The earlier Pinaka version, which was an unguided one, has now been upgraded into a guided version, with a navigation, guidance and control kit developed by the Research Centre, Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad.

The RCI comes under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The conversion helped in enhancing the range and accuracy of Pinaka. If its range was earlier 40 km, it is more than 70 km now.

Radars, electro-optical systems and telemetry systems at the defence range at Chandipur, tracked and monitored the rocket all through its flight path. The guided version is Pinaka mark-II, which evolved from Pinaka mark-I.

Two rounds of tests have been conducted and some more rounds have been planned.

The Pinaka rocket is to replace the Russian Smerch rocket launch system. The Indian Army has 62 Smerch batteries.

The Defence Ministry is looking to buy six regiments of the multi-barrel rocket launchers, and an order for the acquisition is expected any time now. This order is set to propel state-owned contractors Bharat Earth Movers Limited and the Ordnance Factory Board as well as private defence companies Larsen & Toubro and Tata Power SED. While BEML is to supply the vehicle, L&T and Tata Power SED will build launcher systems. The Ordnance Factory Board will supply the rocket ammunition.

The success of the guided Pinaka has reinforced the technological strength of the country in converting the unguided systems into weapons of high precision. The guided Pinaka was developed jointly by the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune, the RCI, and the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. The PXE, Chandipur, provided the range and launch support.

The weapon’s capability to incorporate several types of warheads makes it deadly for the enemy as it can even destroy their solid structures and bunkers.

The performance of an earlier version of Pinaka was lauded during the Kargil War, where it was successful in neutralising enemy positions on mountain tops. The Mark-II version of the rocket is expected to be inducted in the armed forces very soon.
