At It Again: No Capacity to Improve
OFB is at it again. Demanding they be given monopoly rights for their mal so that Indian Armed Forces continue to remain deficient of ammunition, the ammunition produced by them remains in the rejected state without any refund of money to the Army and they continue to kill soldiers on ranges due to faulty and defective ammunition.
One look at overhead charges lavied by OFB on their indigenous Non-Functional Mal can be embarrassing. They are running five-star guest houses at more than 70 locations to comfort their asses at the cost of overcharges paid by the Armed Forces.

What atmanirbharta are we up to if we can not make changes in the Colonial setups of the OFB producing saltpeter for bandookbaj..

Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli launches Stabilized Remote Controlled Gun
The Ordnance Factory of Tiruchirappalli (OFT) has launched an indigenously manufactured weapon named stabilized remote controlled gun (SRCG).

A dedicated assembly and testing facility were also opened for manufacturing the weapon here. Defence minister Rajnath Singh launched the weapon through video-conferencing on Monday as part of Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (self-reliant India mission).

OFT officials said the SRCG fitted with 12.7mm M2 NATO standard machine gun, is designed for marine applications.


It will be mounted on warships and patrol boats and can remotely engage small boats, skiff and other small crafts with high accuracy both during day and night.

“Equipped with sensors, the weapon has an automatic target tracking capacity. The gun can be fired manually even in case of malfunction,” C Ariya Sakthi, works manager, OFT told TOI.

At an estimated cost of Rs 2.8 crore, the assembly and testing facility produces the weapon for Indian Navy and Coast Guard.
The indigenous manufacturing will save Rs 167 crore, officials said. The new weapon will provide a business opportunity for Rs 255 crore per annum for the next four years to OFT and other sister factories. While the gun will be manufactured in Trichy, a contract is placed by integrated headquarters, ministry of defence on Elbit Systems, Israel for transfer of technology (ToT) for SRCG.

With Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) having successfully developed Basic Trainer Aircraft (HTT-40) Prototypes and certification process underway, the DAC approved procurement of 106 Basic Trainer Aircraft from HAL to address the basic training requirements of the Indian Air Force (IAF)
In order to put the idea of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ into action, the Ministry of Defence has approved proposals worth ₹8,722.38 crore of capital acquisitions of various platforms and equipment required by the Indian Armed Forces, which includes 106 Basic Trainer aircrafts for the Indian Air Force.

According to a statement released by the Defence Ministry, the move was made in order to strengthen the Armed Forces by relying on indigenous capability to take forward the initiative on ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), in a meeting chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, accorded the approval for capital acquisitions of various platforms and equipment required by the Indian Armed Forces. Proposals for an approximate cost of ₹8,722.38 crore were approveWith Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) having successfully developed Basic Trainer Aircraft (HTT-40) Prototypes and certification process underway, the DAC approved procurement of 106 Basic Trainer Aircraft from HAL to address the basic training requirements of the Indian Air Force (IAF). Post Certification 70 Basic Trainer Aircraft will be initially procured from HAL and balance 36 after operationalisation of HTT-40 fleet in IAF.

To improve the fire power of Indian Navy, the DAC approved procurement of an upgraded version of Super Rapid Gun Mount (SRGM) which is fitted as the main gun on board Navy and Indian Coast Guard (ICG) warships from Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL). The upgraded version of SRGM has enhanced capability to perform against fast manoeuvring targets like missiles and Fast Attack Crafts and increase the maximum engagement rangIn view of the availability of requisite capability for indigenous development of the ammunition, both in terms of ‘Manufacturing’ and ‘Technology’, the DAC approved procurement of 125 mm APFSDS (Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) ammunition for Indian Army as a ‘Design and Development Case’. The ammunition being procured will have a 70 per cent indigenous content.

Last week, the Indian govt announced curbs on the import of 101 weapons and military platforms. These platforms included light combat helicopters, transport aircraft, conventional submarines and cruise missiles by 2024. The move is aimed at safeguarding the domestic manufacturers. As a result, India’s defence stocks surged substantially on Monda
