This... underscores the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', the nation's commitment to building a self-reliant and technologically advanced defence force. Through strategic initiatives in defence manufacturing and maintenance, the ongoing transformation aims to elevate India's defence capabilities to new heights."
As per an earlier X post by ADGPI, the Year of Tech Absorption theme underscores the Indian army's commitment to leverage technology as a catalyst for transformative change, as well as to utilise in-house expertise to innovate solutions to army's operational and logistic requirements and give shape to these projects in collaboration with the domestic defence industry.

Rs 115000 crore deal, fighter jet better than Rafale, faster than US F-16, speed is..., name is...

Rs 115000 crore deal, fighter jet better than Rafale, faster than US F-16, speed is...., name is.... With major countries like Russia, Israel, and Iran at war, the situation is very critical. India has also had a military confrontation with Pakistan and is in an ongoing cold war with China. In such a situation, India is facing defence challenges on two fronts. Therefore, New Delhi is strengthening its air defence system while simultaneously upgrading its armed forces with the latest weaponry. Keeping in mind the needs of the Army, Air Force, and Navy, the government is constantly taking crucial decisions. China has given fifth-generation fighter jets to Pakistan, creating tension for India. It has now become necessary for New Delhi to equip Air Force with 5th-generation fighter jets so that future challenges can be tackled. As per several media reports, India can buy the US's F-35 or Russian Su-57E fighter jets in the coming years. Some reports suggest that New Delhi can buy fifth-generation aircraft from Russia as it is better in terms of price and technology transfer conditions. However, India is also developing indigenous fighter jets with indigenous technology. DRDO and Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) are developing fifth and sixth-generation fighter jets under the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project. Another news is that HAL is going to deliver the Tejas MK1A fighter jet soon to the Indian Armed Forces. Tejas MK1A Fighter Jet Tejas MK1A is a 4.5 generation fighter aircraft. The Indian Air Force has signed Rs 67000 deal with HAL under which it will get 97 Tejas MK1A fighter jets. As per reports, the flight testing of Tejas MK1A will be done in July, and after that, the jets will be given to the IAF.

Op Sindoor proves India safe under Modi, says Majhi

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday said Operation Sindoor has proved that India is safe under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Majhi was addressing a function organised to celebrate the first anniversary of Odisha's maiden BJP government. Showering praises on Modi, who was also present on the dais, Majhi said, 'Earlier, people used to say – 'Modi hai to mumkin hai' (it is possible if Modi is there) but today, the entire country is saying 'Modi hai to desh surakshit hai' (the country is safe when Modi is at the helm).' Majhi said Operation Sindoor is not just an Army operation against terrorists, but a hope for the mothers, sisters and daughters of India. 'With Operation Sindoor, a new India has emerged, which will not bow down under any circumstances. This new India will write its own destiny,' the Chief Minister said. Stating that India is reaching new heights of development under Modi's leadership, Majhi said in the last 11 years, every section of the society has progressed. 'Today, India has become the fourth-largest economy in the world, and is soon going to become $5 trillion economy. Extreme poverty in the country has come down from 27.1 per cent to 5.3 per cent. This proves that under your leadership, the country is changing and is moving forward on the path of development at a rapid pace,' he said. Majhi said Odisha is also making progress and the State's initiatives are modelled keeping in mind the four categories mentioned by Modi – the poor, the farmers, women and youth. Majhi said the Odisha government has secured an investment proposal of Rs 17 lakh crore in just two days after Modi's call to the industries during a conclave held earlier this year. 'This was possible only because of the trust of the industrial world in you (Modi),' Majhi added.

Wait for Apache attack helicopters continues

A lingering delay in the supply of AH-64E Apache attack helicopters by Boeing has disrupted the Indian Army's plans to modernise its aviation wing, officials aware of the matter said on Saturday, even as the US aerospace giant stressed it is working towards executing the contract as quickly as possible. Wait for Apache attack helicopters continues The army raised its first Apache squadron at Jodhpur in March 2024 to strengthen its posture against Pakistan, hoping that Boeing would begin deliveries a few weeks thereafter. However, 15 months later, not a single helicopter has been delivered as the US firm grapples with supply chain bottlenecks in the aerospace industry that have slowed down production, the officials said, asking not to be named. The 451 Army Aviation squadron was raised at Nagtalao near Jodhpur on March 15, 2024. The helicopter base is fully ready to operate the Apaches, the officials added. In 2020, the army ordered six Apache attack helicopters from the US for more than ₹ 4,100 crore. 'We remain closely engaged with the US Government and the Indian Army and continue working to execute our contract as swiftly as possible to meet the Indian Army's fleet requirements. For any additional information, we defer to our customer,' a Boeing spokesperson said in response to a query on the delay. Another hurdle to the Apache project was related to India's low ranking in a US government programme that prioritised foreign customers, but that issue was resolved last year, as previously reported by HT. The matter related to India's rating being low on the US Defense Priorities and Allocations System Programme (DPAS) was resolved in April-May 2024. Issues related to DPAS, which covers 22 critical components fitted on the Apaches, including engines, gearboxes and weapons, were resolved after six months of discussions, but supply chain issues linger. The US uses DPAS to prioritise defence-related contracts throughout the US supply chain to support military, homeland security, critical infrastructure and other requirements. It is also used to provide military or critical infrastructure assistance to foreign countries. Armed with fire-and-forget Hellfire missiles, the Apache can track up to 128 targets per minute and prioritise threats. The missiles equip the gunships with heavy anti-armour capabilities. Apart from the Apaches, another crucial project hit by supply chain bottlenecks was the delivery of F404-IN20 engines to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) by US firm GE Aerospace for the ongoing Light Combat Aircraft (LCA Mk-1A) programme. However, GE Aerospace has sorted out the issues and has ramped up production to execute the Indian order for 99 F404-IN20 engines. Boeing started production of Apaches for the Indian Army at its Mesa facility in Arizona in August 2023, targeting deliveries the following year. This was after the joint venture Tata Boeing Aerospace Limited (TBAL) delivered the army's first Apache fuselage from its facility in Hyderabad. The Indian Air Force operates a fleet of 22 such helicopters. The Army Aviation Corps is modernising its capabilities with attack helicopters, Light Combat Helicopters (LCH), Light Utility Helicopters (LUH) and unmanned aerial vehicles. In March, the defence ministry signed two contracts worth ₹ 62,700 crore with HAL for 156 Prachand LCHs for the army and the IAF. The Army Aviation Corps will also begin inducting the MQ-9B remotely piloted aircraft systems ordered from the US within four years. Last year, India signed a deal worth $3.5 billion with the US for 31 MQ-9B drones to boost its defence preparedness, primarily with an eye on China. Fifteen drones will be for the navy, and eight each for the army and the IAF.
