When Antony was DM, they were asked to take a call in whose collaboration the engine is to be made. More than 5 years have passed but it has not moved an inch from there. These stupids need to be sacked. You can not make it than ok but you have multiple offers to co develop the engine and for years, you are unable to decide whom to choose a partner. This is simply pathetic and needs some stringent action from MOD. Take all decision making away from them. Just let them research. Put a very good manager as a CEO probably an airforce officer or give kaveri design to any private party with the specification to develop engine in 5 years of time. hire some retired Russian engineers in the area or take consultancy of retired engineers and scientists who knows this technology.

HAL places order with Thales for 2.75-inch rocket launchers to equip Indian armed forces

BENGALURU: Seeking to boost tactical capabilities of the Indian armed forces, HALhas awarded French aerospace and defence company Thales a contract to supply 135 2.75-inch (70-mm) rocket launchers.

Thales's fully certified, field-proven, competitive rocket launchers are suitable for use on both light and combat helicopters, the company said.

As a key differentiator for state-of-the-art helicopters and combat aircraft, they provide an excellent fit with requirements of the Indian armed forces, Thales said.

The Indian armed forces are involved in a wide range of deployments in remote theatres, conducting operations beyond the scope of traditional homeland defence for which they need to round out their available resources with a view to boosting their tactical capability, it said.

Thales's 2.75-inch (70-mm) rocket launchers are produced using composite material, making them an average of 50 per cent lighter than metal launchers, and eliminating corrosion issues.

They offer best in class precision and reliability, providing crews with optimum support during missions, the company said in a release.

The solution to be supplied by Thales includes four 2.75-inch (70-mm) 12-tube rocket launchers, plus fire control capability and the T100 sighting system, as supplied under previous orders (more than 80 Advanced Light Helicopters have already been equipped with the solution).

The huge range of 2.75-inch (70-mm) munitions available for use with the launchers, from conventional rockets to Thales's laser-guided variant, encompasses a broad spectrum of the missions facing today's armed forces, it said.

"This new collaboration between Thales and HAL in the field of air-launched weaponry opens up new opportunities for supply of equipment to the Indian armed forces, and consolidates Thales's position in the Indian market," said Emmanuel de Roquefeuil, VP and Country Director, Thales in India.

With this, helicopter crews will see a significant improvement in their tactical capabilities during missions, he added.

There is no hard point underneath starboard air intake in Tejas Mk-1 AF and both versions of N
Naval Tejas. Instead there is only Gun Bay in above versions.

It is only in MWF(Tejas MK-2) where Gun Bay has been relocated to wing roots and it is this version where starboard air intake has a hard point.

I have firm belief that MWF's weapon stations have been designed to undo the lust for Gripen E/F that is there in IAF. And i am freaking loving this aggressive approach by ADA-HAL.
I am unable to see any separate gun bay in post #113. Only 4 hard points on each wing + 2 on air intakes + 1 center fuselage, thereby a total of 11. IMHO, starboard hard point below the air intake will be used to house the gun.

Gun bay is over the wing, at wing roots starboard side.

Aero India 2019: Former Vice Chief of IAF offers four missiles to armed forces
Zee Media Bureau Feb 20, 2019, 17:24 PM IST,


The retired Air Marshal offered these missiles during the ongoing Aero India 2019 in Bengaluru.

BENGALURU: Former Vice Chief of Indian Air Force, Air Marshal SB Deo (retd), on Wednesday offered four missiles of different types to Indian armed forces.


The retired Air Marshal offered these missiles during the ongoing Aero India 2019 in Bengaluru. ANI reported that the missiles are personally designed and developed by Air Marshal Deo. Among the missiles is a 297-km strike range cruise missile named Vel and a stand-off missile named Khagantak.



"This epitomizes Make in India, foreign exchange content is less than 10%. We have 2 glide bombs of different caliber and a light-weight cruise missile with a range of 297 km that carries a small warhead. They could be inducted in less than 6 months," said Air Marshal (retd) Deo.






Meanwhile, Union Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu said on Wednesday that Indian aviation market has begun to "explode" and the government is planning to ink deals with companies in order to manufacture aircrafts locally.


Addressing investors at the inaugural session of the Aero India 2019, Prabhu said, "India's aviation market is now beginning to explode. So far, we have had limited airports, very limited connectivity. But now, we have added more airports, taking the number to 103. In the next 15 years we will add another 100 airports with an investment of 65 billion USD."


Prabhu also highlighted the comprehensive strategy of his ministry in the aviation sector and said that it has come out with 'Vision 2040'. He added that 2,300 new aeroplanes would be required by India to realise 'Vision 2040'.






"We look forward to partnerships to make aircrafts in India. To make that (possible), we are coming out with an action plan, vision and roadmap," he said.
