Russia Test Fires Its ‘Ideal Weapon’ – The Kinzhal Missile

About a week ago, Russia had successfully test-fired a hypersonic missile which was described by President Vladimir Putin as an “ideal weapon”.

Kinzhal on a Mig-31

A MiG-31 jet fired the missile and hit its target. The Russian government released a footage of two pilots running towards a jet carrying the missile. The video showed the firing of the missile from the aircraft.

Here are some specs of the fastest missile that is:

1.      “Kinzhal” is Russian for a dagger. It has no comparisons in the world for its speed.

2.      The Kinzhal missile can fly at 10 Mach and can overcome air defence systems and has a range of over 2,000 km. Comparatively, the reported performance of the Indian Brahmos was a top speed of Mach 7 and a range of 290 kilometres.

3.      Launching from 1000s of feet in the air from a supersonic fighter gives Kinzhal its much greater reported range of 1,200 miles.

4.      The hypersonic missile confirmed its technical operational performance and timing data of the Kinzhal missile system after firing.

5.      With these specs, the missile could penetrate right through the most sophisticated air defences to strike its target.

6.      Kinzhal could be “dual-capable”—that is, compatible with both atomic and non-atomic warheads.

7.      Kinzhal, while is fast enough to evade enemy defences, its speed makes it lack the manoeuvrability to accurately strike targets at long range.

8.      That deep-strike capability could give Russian forces a major advantage in the event of war in Europe.

China and the United States are also developing hypersonic weapons that fly faster than 5 Mach. Most American and Chinese hypersonic prototypes have small wings, giving them the ability to manoeuvre like aeroplanes do and correct their courses better than a strictly cone-shaped rocket can do.

In an address to the nation on March 1, Putin had announced a new range of nuclear weapons that he said could hit almost any point in the world without being intercepted. A new intercontinental ballistic missile, a small nuclear warhead that can be attached to cruise missiles, underwater nuclear drones and a supersonic weapon was among those he said were either being developed or were ready.

 

At one time, when Russia is jointly developing Brahmos with India and at other, it is advancing its own technology, does it mean that India needs to be alert to Russian intentions?

Lt Preeti Choudhary is one of the very few lady cadets from OTA Chennai who have won the Sword of Honour. She won the Sword of Honour for being the best all-around cadet at the Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai passing out parade March 2018.  As we always try to cover such inspirational stories for the defence aspirants and future officers, here is the short interview with Lt Preet Choudhary which will help us to understand the mindset of a winner. Hope her words will motivate the youth to excel in whatever field they want to.

 

In Conversation with Lt Preeti Choudhary

1) How did your journey to join the Indian army began?

Since my father was in Army, I used to see him taking pride in wearing the uniforms, working hard day and night, and maintaining the work and family balance with discipline and love which inspired me the most and as I grew up and learned more about this organisation, the passion of joining forces kept on growing and than I joined NCC during my college days which eventually lead me to join Indian Army. OTA Chennai

2) Being one of the best NCC cadets during your time, what role did NCC play in your life? Would you recommend defence aspirants to join the NCC?

NCC for me played a vital role in my life. I was a very active NCC cadet, I used to participate in every event with enthusiasm and zeal. With the support of my commanding officer and my instructors, I could make it big in my NCC career. I would definitely recommend NCC to the aspirants of defence forces because NCC is the nursery of defence forces and would groom them well and give them good exposure to join the forces.OTA Training

3) What do think was the toughest moment of your life and how did you deal with it?

By the grace of God my life has always been smooth and I have been moving ahead step by step with hard work and dedication and without any moment that I can say was the toughest so far, I did, however, I had many days where you work extra or put in lot of efforts to achieve the target, however, those are all part of lessons learnt, hence I do not really have anything to share Here.Lt Preeti

4) How was the life at OTA Chennai and what is that one thing you will miss the most at OTA?

OTA is a place where the cadets are grilled through tough situations to bring the best out of them and polish them to serve in Indian Armed Forces.
Each day in the academy is different and comes with a surprise. My life in the academy was very exciting with a lot of adventure. Every drill or activity teaches something new and important.
The most memorable times of academy were the camps, I would definitely miss our outdoor camps that use to happen almost every quarter. Camps use to give us practical knowledge, very challenging in nature and would leave a lot of learnings and memories behind.Sword Of Honour

5) What are the challenges one needs to face to earn the sword of honour at the academy?

I would say that don’t work to earn the sword, instead, work to improve your own self, participate in every event, and always keep you moral high no matter what and keep smiling.ota chennai sword of honour

6) How does it feel to carry the sword of honor? If you could recollect, what was going through your mind during the ceremony apart from the drill?

The feeling is just amazing and can’t be expressed in words. While I was getting the sword the only thing that was going on in my mind was the proud faces of my parents who were watching me from hardly few meters.lt preeti choudhary

7) Any advice for the future officers and aspirants?

  • Be a good learner during your training and clear all your doubts in the academy.
  • Always be honest, push your limits and you will discover a different version of yourself.
  • Stay happy and motivated and be a team player along with showing your own skills.

Emmanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron completed a four-day India visit. He was accompanied by his wife Brigitte Marie-Claude Macron, besides senior ministers from his Cabinet.

After a 90-minute long meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron and delegation-level talks between the two sides, 14 agreements have been signed between India and France apart from business deals for 16 billion crores. This is followed by the joint press statement by the two leaders.

The key deals that were signed:

  1. Two important agreements were signed among many others – one agreement is to recognize each other’s educational qualifications, inviting students to pursue an education in France and increase the number of French students coming to India. The second is migration and mobility partnership.
  2. India and France also got an agreement between NPCIL (Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited) and EDF (of France) to start building world’s largest nuclear power plant in Jaitapur which sports a mega capacity of 9.6 Gigawatts.
  3. The two countries signed an accord to step up military cooperation in the Indian Ocean with focus on renewable energy and stepping cooperation in trade apart from discussions on Rafael deal.
  4. Agreement to share intelligence as well as military bases. Different divisions of all armed forces will cooperate and collaborate.
  5. Operational alliance on cyber warfare and counter-terrorism was also discussed.
  6. The two sides also signed an agreement on co-development of a full-fledged satellite constellation in the maritime domain. The Indo-French cooperation in the area of space is more than five-decades-old.
  7. Railways, environment, space security are just some of many areas of deep cooperation which was addressed.
  8. After the delegation-level talks with PM Modi, President Macron took part in a Town Hall and had an interactive session, in which nearly 300 students from different institutions participated.
  9. On the same day, he also took part in a Knowledge Summit which was attended by more than 200 academicians from both sides.
  10. On March 11, Mr Macron co-chaired the International Solar Alliance (ISA) Summit, an initiative mooted by France and India. The ISA Summit, which was attended by several heads of the states and governments, focused on concrete projects.
  11. The President also visited the monument of love, the Taj Mahal with his wife and to Varanasi on the banks of the river Ganges in UP, where they inaugurated a solar plant in Mirzapur.
  12. France is mooted as the entry point to Europe. President Marron wants to be India’s best partner in Europe.

Conclusion:

The outcome of President Macron’s visit achieved 3 main objectives – One is to begin a new era in India-France ties and boost its partnership and strategic ties to a new level in various sectors.

Second, to battle climate change and take forward the wonderful initiative of the International Solar Alliance. This shows the commitment to the Paris Climate deal and promotes renewable sources of energy. Third, to boost people-to-people ties.

It is not a coincidence that the echo of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity is also recorded in the Constitution of India, not only in France. The societies of our two countries are standing on the foundation of these values.

IAF Lands its Largest Transport Aircraft At Tutin Airfield for the First Time

tuting airfield

The Indian Air Force’s landed its largest transport aircraft – the C-17 Globemaster at Arunachal Pradesh’s Tuting airfield, close to the Chinese border. This landing is seen as part of the IAF’s move to strengthen its overall operations in the strategically-key border state of India-China. The landing ground is located only 30 km from China.

The C17 Globemaster carried out a historic landing at Tuting Advanced Landing Ground. The mission was executed flawlessly owing to its superlative performance and excellent flying skills of pilots. The flight crew included Group Captain K Rama Rao, Wing Commander Amiya Kant Patnaik, Wing Commander K Trivedi and Squadron Leader L Nayak.

After the trial landing, C17 carried out an operational mission, airlifting 18 tons of load into the austere airfield. The airfield is in close proximity to the Chinese border. This mission is a strategic leap in terms of operational performance demonstration & tactical air mobility.

Key Border Area:

Though a quieter area of the contested frontier, the border around Tuting became tense in December-January near Bishing village.

Tensions near the border were high when troops of India and China were locked in a 73-day-long standoff in Doklam from June 16 last year after the Indian side stopped the building of a road in the disputed area by the Chinese Army. Indian troops confiscated two dozers before returning them days later after the Chinese withdrew. The face-off ended on August 28.

According to sources, China has been keeping its troops in north Doklam and significantly ramping up its infrastructure in the disputed area.

Tough Terrain:

The Advance Landing Ground (ALG) is located in the midst of high hills in a narrow valley that makes it challenging. The agile manoeuvrability of mammoth C17 Globemaster made it possible for the pilots to execute this mission flawlessly.

In November 2016, the Indian Air Force had successfully carried out landing of C-17 Globemaster at its strategic Advanced Landing Grounds (ALG) of Mechuka in West Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh.

Menchuka being just 29 kilometres from the border with China. The Menchuka ALG, which was re-activated in May 2016, was non-functional since 2013 following its reconstruction work along with the ALGs of Aalo, Ziro, Tuting, Pasighat and Tezu.

Mechuka was one of the strategic locations during the Indo-China war in 1962. It takes two days by road to travel to the area from Dibrugarh, the nearest railhead. The IAF had started its operations with Dakota and Otter in 1962 in the area and subsequently, the An-32 was operated till October 2013 before the reconstruction work was started.

The recent landing comes after over a year when the Tuting ALG was upgraded on December 30, 2016, with a full-fledged runway along with all the associated facilities. The strategic location of Tuting ALG will make it a launching pad for IAF operations as well as a facilitator to the Administration in the management of border area. The ALG will be used to bring in vital supplies from cities in Assam via fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters besides meeting challenges during natural calamities.

Visit of Defence Minister:

This advancement does not give good vibes to India-China relations as the Defence Minister and Prime Minister is scheduled to visit China within the next 3-4 months.

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman is likely to visit China in April this year. The objective is not yet clear for her visit. There are two probable scenarios for her visit – on a bilateral visit or Defence Ministers meeting of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) countries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also scheduled to visit China in June.

Conclusion:

While India is focused on boosting its defence, China keeps on poking India either through sea or land. At a time when the issues can be solved diplomatically, do you think there is a need for military advancements for both the nations?

5 Years Mandatory Military Service Proposed For Civil Service Aspirants

5 YEARS MANDATORY MILITARY SERVICE

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence has recommended a 5-year compulsory military service for those aspiring for gazetted jobs in the state and central governments irrespective of the job profile.

The Standing Committee’s report tabled in Parliament this week said the government had informed it that the recommendation has been taken up with the Department of Personnel and Training for having five years of compulsory military service to such aspirants. The response of the department is awaited.

However, there is nothing such as conscription in the recommendations set out. The proposal is concerned with only aspirants for government service and that too for only gazetted ranks.

The Reasons:

The reasons for this recommendation is being cited as the alarming shortage of officers and other ranks in the armed forces and to overcome it.

In the report, it said, “The committee, while recommending five-year compulsory military service to such aspirants, has taken into account the fact that there is a perennial and alarming shortage of officers and PBORs in the armed forces, which needs to be corrected. The committee once again expresses the desire that the issue of shortage of officers needs to be given priority for being addressed.

According to latest figures, there is a shortage of 7,679 officers and 20,185 PBORs in Army; 1,434 officers and 14,730 sailors in Navy; and 146 officers and 15,357 airmen in the Indian Air Force.

In the Central government alone, about 30 lakh employees are with the Indian Railways, while the state governments employ about another 2 crore people.

Sanctioned Strength vs Held Strength:

The sanctioned strength vs the actual strength in case of officers is:
Service Sanctioned Strength Held Strength
Army 49,932 42,253
Navy 11,872 10,384
Air Force 12,549 12,340
In case of PBORs, the sanctioned and present strength are:
Service Sanctioned Strength Held Strength
Army 11,94,864 12,15,049
Navy 57,310 71,656
Air Force 1,42,529 1,27,510

Department of Personnel and Training:

DoPT is the wing of government that reports to the Prime Minister and is tasked with administering and making policy for all government employees.

Apparently, the panel is unhappy with the lukewarm response of the MoD to this important recommendation and not taking up the matter with due seriousness with the DoPT. The Parliamentary Committee has also asked the Ministry of Defence to push with the DoPT with more vigour and earnestness.

The committee desires that issue of shortage of officers should be given priority as it is directly related to national security.

What Are Your Views?

Yes it should be made compulsory because:
  • It will reflect the deep reverence the nation has for its armed forces, their basic value system, discipline, training, sense of duty, and patriotism.
  • It will reduce the shortage of the number of officers in the military.
  • It will lead to improvement in civil-military relations.
No, it should not be made compulsory:
  • But, NCC training should be made mandatory for the civil service aspirants during their academics.
  • Brief tenure will lead to leakage of vital information.
  • SSB system will need to be modified accordingly.
  • They can be made to join as soldiers for 1-2 years than officers for 5 years.
  • Serving in the Territorial Army for 5 years should be made compulsory while they are still employed by the government.
  • The civil servants who had served the army should be considered for antedate seniority in civil services.

I always loved to get photographed but sometimes it becomes hard to differentiate between your passion and profession. Your hobbies and your likeness. I was always inclined towards glamour, parties, fitness, photoshoots, love for guitar and modeling offers all this but what attracted me the most was olive green that too with twinkling stars.

Although wearing OG was always my goal from the very first day I appeared for NDA exam but things kept on lingering.  I was conference out 3 times for AFCAT. Might be the interviewer saw my love for the olive green in my eyes and that’s why he rejected me every time (on a lighter note ). But fortunately, with all my efforts I cleared combined defence services exam and SSB interview to join Officers training academy. 

Managing studies, your so-called lifestyle and preparing for CDS was itself proved a herculean task for me. I was not doing good in studies nor I was able to crack the CDS Exam. At last things started falling in the grid and I fell where I wanted to.vivek kasana

I still remember academy days when my seniors use to make me do ramp walk wherever they used to see me. Even one of the senior gave me standing orders to start ramp walk as soon as he will see me.

Sometimes I feel like I have done everything and got what I wanted. I still get calls to do some shoots and get together but trust me guys wearing olive green is itself the happiest feeling. And the work you do have immense pleasure to pump up your chest and walk.

This time not as a model but as a ROLE MODEL. 🙂

THE BEST PROFESSION. INDIAN ARMY
