New LCU Mk-V Landing Craft to Boost Amphibious Operations and Island Logistics

Indian Navy LCU Mk-V: Indian Navy is preparing to deliver military logistics in its amphibious operation and island terrain and to new strengthen the capacity of disaster relief missions. The Directorate of Naval Ship Production under the Ministry of Defence has released the Request for Information (RFI) for construction of six new landing Craft Utility MK-5 (LCU MK-5).

These new ships will be equipped with better weapons and sensors operating for a considerable, longer distance than existing LCU MK-4. These must be used to transport troops, tanks, armored vehicles, military equipments and disaster relief materials to coastal areas and islands.

Indian Navy LCU Mk-V: How different will be from existing LCU MK-4

Indian Navy There are currently eight LCU MK-4 ships. He was built by Kolkata-based Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE). All ships from L-51 to L-58 were included in the Navy between 2017 to 2021.

These ships are about 63 meters long and weighing about 1,000 tons. The main operation area is Andaman and Nicobar command.

While the new generation LCU MK-5 will be about 85 meters long and the weight is placed about 1,500 tons. I.e. in both size and carrying capacity it will be significantly larger than before ships.

The maximum speed of the ship will be at least 15 nos. Its operational range will be about 4,500 knots, which is about three times higher than the existing LCU.

Ability to transport tanks and troops directly to the coast

The main objective of the LCU MK-5 is to deliver troops and military equipment from the sea to the straight coast.

Naval has sought special beaching capacity for ship. This means that the ship can go straight to the beach without the port and unload the tank, vehicle and soldiers through its ramp.

According to RFI the ship will have big bo door and ramp on the front side. Heavy military vehicles will be able to land directly on the beach.

Inside the ship will arrange large vehicle decks and cargo hold. It will be able to carry military equipment in various configurations.

Four ships together according to RFI Main Battle Tank And the four BMP infantry will take the fitting vehicle. Alternatively ten Heavy Military Vehicles or other Mixed Military Mixed Weights will also be taken.

In addition, the ship will have a capacity to carry about 190 soldiers and five officers. The ship’s own crew will be around 81 people. Indian Navy LCU Mk-V

Long Distance Mission in Indian Ocean Region

LCU MK-5 will be designed for operation throughout the Indian Ocean region. The ship will be made operational in different marine conditions. It will be given the ability to travel safe to operation and State-6 in all directions upto C State-5. This ship can also be used in long distance military and humanitarian campaigns.

The ability to run a continuous campaign for about 30 days is also sought. The estimated life cycle of the ship is kept at least 30 years. Indian Navy LCU Mk-V

will also be equipped with arms

LCU MK-5 will be equipped with multiple modern weapon systems for self-defense. Two AK-630 onboard as per RFI Close-in Weapon System will be applied. These are a sharp firing of 30 mm that can protect against missiles, drones and low-range aerial threats.

Also two 12.7mm remote controlled guns will be installed.

The ship will also include electro-optical infrared search and track system (EOIRST), visual short range air defense system (VSHORADS) and modern fire control systems.

Acoustic warning system i.e. LRAD has also been sought for protection. Indian Navy LCU Mk-V

Sensors and Communication Systems will be the state-of-the-art

Naval will also be installed advanced sensors and communication systems in the ship. Integrated Bridge System, Combat Management System, Dual Channel Eco Sounder, Automatic Identification System (AIS), IFF MK-12 and Indian Sailor based GNSS receiver will be installed onboard.

Systems like Advanced Composite Communication Systems, Rukmini Satcom, UHF Satcom, Inmarsat and GMDS for Communication. Electronic Support Major (ESM), GNSS jammer and lightweight common systems will also be part of the ship.

Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare: India’s largest multinational air battle wave power-2026 Rajasthan’s Jodhpur Air Force Station is being held from September 26 to October 12. This time in the wave power will also be the test of the most importantly considered interoperability, network-centric operations and common operational picture in the modern air war. This time the U.S. Fifter-Jet F-35 Lightning-II, French Rafael, F-16 of UAE, Indian Sushoi-30 MKI, Tejas, Mirage-2000, Mig-29, Jaguar and Indian Avox, AEW&C are going to join the same practice.

The biggest question in such is that these aircraft from different countries, whose technology, data systems and communication networks are different, then how will work with each other? Indian Air Force’s Deputy Chief Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit has given significant information on it.

Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare: What is Common Operational Picture?

Modern air war doesn’t have to be just a fast or modern aircraft. The most important is that all aircraft, radar, command center and airborne control platforms appear almost a similar picture of Battlefield.

It's only common Operational Picture or shared picture is called.

It contains information about which plane is a friend, which is the potential enemy, which direction is flying, where the goal is to exist and what platform has to play.

When all platforms see a similar information, the speed of decision-making increases and the confusion during the war is reduced.

What Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit Says

In the press conference held during the wave power exercise, answering the question of the defence news, Air Force’s Deputy Chief Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit pointed out that Wavelength-2026 Particular attention will be paid to prepare the shared operational picture between all partner countries.

He has described Briefing, Mission Planning, Debriefing and Common Operational Picture the most important part of this exercise. The real test in the wave strength-2026 will be of cordination, communication, and interoperability among the air forces of different countries, not only of planes.

He told that every mission plan will be made jointly. First, representatives from all countries will be briefed together. They will then be divided into different groups like Red Force and Blue Force.

After this, each team will form their strategy and will execute the mission.

He said, "The most important stage is of debriefing after the mission is complete. All teams share their experience, performance and learning lessons. ""

The Indian Air Force uses a pre-developed special system which is also used in various bilateral military exercise in the world. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Will all aircraft be able to see the same digital picture?

The answer to this question is technically quite interesting. The wave strength-2026 does not have to become a fully integrated and real-time digital common picture. It is because all countries do not use a digital language like aircraft.

Tactical data links are used to share data in modern wars. But the platforms of different countries work on different data links. And the real challenge begins.

Link-16 uses F-35

American F-35 The world’s most advanced is counted in the fifth generation fighter planes. Its biggest strength is not just the steelth capacity, but its sensor is the fusion system.

F-35 gives the pilot an extremely clear Battlefield picture by adding information from its radar, electronic sensor, infrared sensor and other source. The aircraft mainly uses the link-16 and its special MADL (Multifunction Advanced Data Link) system.

America shares sensitive information associated with this network at a very limited level. That’s why the full sensor data of F-35 is not shared directly with any foreign air force.

Indian Air Force is in front of Technological Challenge

Indian Air Force fleet is a blend of technology from many countries. Sukhoi-30MKI is the plane of Russian origin. Raphael came from France. Mirage-2000 is also French. Tejas is the indigenous platform. Falcon Avox uses Israeli technology.

All of these data links and network systems are different.

Indian Air Force has been working towards connecting them through IACCS (Integrated Air Command and Control System), Airlink, Beenet and other networking solutions for the past few years. Though still the fully integrated digital network is not ready.

2024 lessons found by wave strength

The first wave strength exercise conducted in 2024 gave an important learning to Indian Air Force and participating countries. The biggest challenge came to the fact that the fighter aircraft and military platforms of different countries could not share data links directly with each other. Every country uses its different digital systems and secure networks, making it not easy to provide all the same images at the same time.

That’s why the main focus in the practice of 2026 will remain on the process, command structure and mission chordination over the digital network. The objective is that air forces of different countries can work like a team without sharing data links. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Ready at four levels Shared Pictures

Any operation starts with mission planning. All countries involved in the exercise will fly in accordance with a shared plan already decided.

During this time, it will be decided which aircraft will operate in which sector will remain at the height of which, what will be the time to reach the target area and how friends and enemies will be identified. This scheme will make the foundation of the entire operation and all participants will have a similar direction. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Voice communication will result from real-time cordination

The most important means during practice will remain radio communication. Pilots and controllers of different countries will use Standard Military English Dictionary and fixed codes.

Amox (AWACS) and other air control platforms will keep the pilots through radio information such as target location, direction, distance and height. Voice communication in war campaigns is considered to be the most trusted and effective means today despite modern data networks being available. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Every country will work on its digital network

All countries involved in practice will continue using their safe digital networks. Indian Air Force aircraft can stay connected to their data link and IACS (Integrated Air Command and Control System) network. While the American F-35 aircraft will use its link-16 and MADL (MADL) network. Some platforms from NATO countries can share data at a limited level in themselves, but a shared digital network will not exist among all countries. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Command post will be ready in Common Operational Picture

The most important role in the whole practice will play the command and control center. Information received from different channels will be collected here and a shared operational picture will be prepared by analyzing them.

In this process, the information that meets the Indian Ground Radar, Falcon Avox, Eye Airborne Early Warning System, the report of the contact officers from different countries and the mission commanders will be added together. The image prepared after this will be delivered to all the related units, so that the cordination is made during the entire mission. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Avox extremely important in wave strength

Avox i.e. Airborne Warning and Control System is considered the most important command platform of modern air war. India has Israeli Falcon based Avox and Indigenous Eyes AEW and C platform.

Aerial activities can be monitored for hundreds of kilometres away with their help. Avox will play two main roles in wave strength-2026. The first role is to control Indian fighter jets through the network.

The second role will be to direct foreign aircraft through voice communication and standardized providers.

Aircrafts such as F-35 can raise considerable information from their sensors themselves, but their entire data will not appear on the Indian Avox screen. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

Why Network-Centric Warfare Is Important

The American Air Force had a study in the 1990s, in which fighter jets connected to the data link were compared only by aircraft dependent on radio communication. The study found that the aircraft linked to data links proved to be nearly two times more effective. The reason was that all pilots were getting the same and consistent updates.

This concept further paved as a network-centric warfare. Most air forces from the US and NATO countries work on the same concept. Tarang Shakti 2026 Network Centric Warfare

LCA Tejas Mk-1A Induction: स्वदेशी लड़ाकू विमान एलसीए तेजस मार्क-1ए की डिलीवरी को लेकर वायुसेना के वाइस चीफ एयर मार्शल आशुतोष दीक्षित ने एलसीए मार्क-1ए का इंडक्शन अगले एक से दो महीने में शुरू हो सकता है। उन्होंने बताया कि शुरुआत में देरी की वजह इंजन की सप्लाई थी, लेकिन अब इंजन मिल चुके हैं और उन्हें विमानों में लगाया भी जा चुका है। फिलहाल विमान के अंतिम तकनीकी ट्रायल्स चल रहे हैं।

भारतीय वायुसेना लंबे समय से Tejas Mark-1A का इंतजार कर रही है। यह विमान देश में विकसित तेजस फाइटर जेट एमके-1 का एडवांस वर्जन है, जिसमें बेहतर एवियोनिक्स, आधुनिक रडार, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वारफेयर सिस्टम और नई ऑपरेशनल क्षमताएं शामिल हैं।

LCA Tejas Mk-1A Induction: इंजन सप्लाई में आई थी सबसे बड़ी बाधा

Air Marshall Ashutosh Dixit ने कहा कि शुरुआत में पर्याप्त संख्या में इंजन उपलब्ध नहीं हो पा रहे थे। इसी वजह से विमान की डिलीवरी और इंडक्शन में देरी हुई है।

उन्होंने कहा, “एचएएल इस विषय पर पहले ही स्पष्टीकरण दे चुका है। मैं सिर्फ इतना जोड़ना चाहूंगा कि शुरुआती देरी इंजन की वजह से हुई थी। हमें पर्याप्त इंजन नहीं मिल पा रहे थे। अब इंजन मिल गए हैं और उन्हें विमान में लगा भी दिया गया है।”

बता दें कि तेजस मार्क-1ए में जीई-404 इंजन का इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है। इंजन सप्लाई में देरी के कारण हिंदुस्तान एयरोनॉटिक्स लिमिटेड (एचएएल) तय समय पर विमान तैयार नहीं कर पा रहा था। पिछले दो सालों में इंजन डिलीवरी का मुद्दा तेजस कार्यक्रम की सबसे बड़ी चुनौती बना हुआ था।

सिस्टम ट्रायल्स जारी

इंजन मिलने के बाद अब विमान के व्यापक ट्रायल्स किए जा रहे हैं। एयर मार्शल दीक्षित ने बताया कि इंडक्शन से पहले वायुसेना सभी तकनीकी मानकों की पुष्टि करना चाहती है।

उन्होंने कहा, “हम विमान के आधिकारिक इंडक्शन से पहले उचित और विस्तृत ट्रायल्स कर रहे हैं। केवल दो या तीन टेक्निकल पॉइंट्स का वेरिफिकेशन होना बाकी है। मुझे लगता है कि एक या दो महीने के भीतर इन तकनीकी मुद्दों को भी पूरा कर लिया जाएगा। इसके बाद विमान के इंडक्शन का रास्ता साफ हो जाएगा।”

उन्होंने रक्षा समाचार के सवाल के जवाब में बताया कि एचएएल ने इंटीग्रेशन का काम जल्द से जल्द पूरा करने के लिए एमके-1ए की सॉर्टिज की संख्या भी बढ़ाई है।

इन ट्रायल्स में फ्लाइट परफॉरमेंस, मिशन सिस्टम, वेपन इंटिग्रेशन, सेंसर कैपेबिलिटी और विभिन्न ऑपरेशनल परिस्थितियों में विमान की परफॉरमेंस की जांच शामिल है।

एयर मार्शल दीक्षित ने यह भी स्पष्ट किया कि भारतीय वायुसेना तेजस मार्क-1ए को जल्द अपने बेड़े में शामिल करना चाहती है। उन्होंने कहा, “हम भी एलसीए मार्क-1ए के इंडक्शन का बेसब्री से इंतजार कर रहे हैं।” (LCA Tejas Mk-1A Induction)

अस्त्र मिसाइल का इंटीग्रेशन भी फाइनल स्टेज में

वहीं, सूत्रों का कहना है कि पांच फाइटर जेट्स की डिलीवरी अगले दो महीने के भीतर मिल जाएगी। क्योंकि एचएएल को मिले बाकी पांच इंजन की अभी टेस्टिंग चल रही है।

सूत्रों का कहना है कि भारतीय वायुसेना के लिए बन रहे स्वदेशी लड़ाकू विमान एलसीए तेजस एमके-1ए में अस्त्र एमके-1 बियॉन्ड विजुअल रेंज (बीवीआर) एयर-टू-एयर मिसाइल के इंटीग्रेशन का काम भी अंतिम चरण में पहुंच गया है। अब ज्यादातर बड़े फायरिंग ट्रायल पूरे हो चुके हैं और फिलहाल विमान व मिसाइल के बीच फाइनल लेवल के सिस्टम और उड़ान परीक्षण किए जा रहे हैं।

अस्त्र एमके-1 भारत में विकसित एक लंबी दूरी की बीवीआर एयर-टू-एयर मिसाइल है, जिसे डीआरडीओ ने डेवलप किया है। इस मिसाइल की रेंज लगभग 110 किलोमीटर है, जबकि अपग्रेडेड वर्जन में इसकी रेंज करीब 160 किलोमीटर तक है।

मार्च 2025 में तेजस एमके-1 प्रोटोटाइप से अस्त्र मिसाइल का सफल परीक्षण किया गया था। इस दौरान मिसाइल ने 100 किलोमीटर से अधिक दूरी पर टारगेट को सटीक रूप से निशाना बनाया था। इसके बाद जनवरी 2026 में डीआरडीओ ने जानकारी दी कि तेजस ने लगभग 140 किलोमीटर दूरी पर टारगेट का पता लगाया और करीब 110 किलोमीटर की दूरी से अस्त्र मिसाइल दागकर टारगेट को नष्ट कर दिया।

तेजस एमके-1ए में नया एईएसए रडार, आधुनिक एवियोनिक्स, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वॉरफेयर सिस्टम और कई अन्य सुधार किए गए हैं। इन्हीं बदलावों के चलते अस्त्र मिसाइल के लिए कुछ सॉफ्टवेयर मॉडिफिकेशन और सिस्टम ट्यूनिंग की जरूरत पड़ी। मिसाइल और विमान के मिशन कंप्यूटर के बीच डेटा एक्सचेंज, टारगेट इनफॉमेशन और लॉन्च सीक्वेंस को नए सिस्टम के अनुरूप बनाया गया।

सूत्रों ने उम्मीद जताई कि तेजस एमके-1ए पर अस्त्र एमके-2 का इंटीग्रेशन लगभग 2027 के आसपास शुरू होने की उम्मीद है। इस मिसाइल की रेंज 220 से 240 किलोमीटर के बीच है। फिलहाल इसका इंटीग्रेशन सबसे पहले सुखोई-30 एमकेआई पर किया जा रहा है।

अस्त्र का इस्तेमाल दुश्मन के लड़ाकू विमान को ऐसी दूरी से मार गिराने के लिए किया जाता है, जहां पायलट टारगेट को आंखों से नहीं देख सकता। टारगेट की पहचान और ट्रैकिंग विमान के रडार और मिसाइल के गाइडेंस सिस्टम के जरिए होती है।

सूत्रों ने बताया कि वर्तमान में मुख्य ध्यान कैप्टिव कैरिज ट्रायल पर है। इस परीक्षण में मिसाइल को विमान के नीचे लगाकर उड़ान भरी जाती है, लेकिन उसे दागा नहीं जाता। इसका उद्देश्य यह जांचना होता है कि उड़ान के दौरान मिसाइल का वजन, एरोडायनैमिक्स इफैक्ट और विमान के स्ट्रक्चर पर उसका क्या असर पड़ता है। (LCA Tejas Mk-1A Induction)

एएसआरएएएम मिसाइल पर भी तेजी से काम

अस्त्र के अलावा तेजस एमके-1ए में ब्रिटेन की एएसआरएएएम (एडवांस्ड शॉर्ट रेंज एयर-टू-एयर मिसाइल) का इंटीग्रेशन भी तेजी से चल रहा है। जुलाई 2026 में एएसआरएएएम के ट्विन लॉन्चर से सिंगल और डबल दोनों प्रकार की सफल फायरिंग की गई थी।

यह मिसाइल नजदीकी हवाई मुकाबले के लिए इस्तेमाल की जाती है, जबकि अस्त्र लंबी दूरी के हवाई युद्ध के लिए है। दोनों के साथ तेजस की लड़ाकू क्षमता काफी बढ़ जाती है। (LCA Tejas Mk-1A Induction)

एचएएल ने सॉफ्टवेयर चुनौतियों का किया था खुलासा

इससे पहले 18 सितंबर को हिंदुस्तान एयरोनॉटिक्स लिमिटेड के चेयरमैन और प्रबंध निदेशक रवि कुमार ने भी तेजस मार्क-1ए कार्यक्रम की ताजा स्थिति पर जानकारी दी थी।

रवि कुमार ने कहा था कि विमान में कई सॉफ्टवेयर इंटीग्रेशन चुनौतियां भी सामने आई हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि ट्रायल्स के दौरान कई सिस्टम में बदलाव और सुधार किए जा रहे हैं।

उन्होंने कहा, “डिलीवरी तभी हो सकती है जब विमान पूरी तरह तैयार हो। अभी हम उस स्थिति तक नहीं पहुंचे हैं। हम लगातार काम कर रहे हैं और जल्द समस्याओं का समाधान कर लेंगे।”

उन्होंने समयसीमा बताने से इनकार करते हुए कहा, “ट्रायल्स के दौरान कई तरह के इश्यू सामने आते हैं। इसमें काफी सॉफ्टवेयर शामिल है और उस सॉफ्टवेयर में बदलाव करने पड़ रहे हैं। इसी कारण मैं कोई निश्चित समयसीमा नहीं दे रहा हूं।” (LCA Tejas Mk-1A Induction)

According to the officials of the Indian Air Force, the wave power is a great platform to share harmony, joint operation capacity and modern war experiences between the air forces of different countries. The biggest US F-35A Steelth fighter jet of this time practice will be the participation of a military exercise in India for the first time.

Tarang Shakti-2026: Large version after the success of wave strength-2024

Deputy Chief Air Marshal of Indian Air Force Ashutosh Dixit The first multinational exercise wave power held in 2024 was a new beginning.

"Partnership with our foreign air forces for several years was primarily limited to bilateral exercises. The wave strength gave the opportunity to change this thinking and conduct operations with multiple air forces simultaneously. ""

The wave strength-2024 was held in two phases at Zodhpur, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan. During that, 11 countries had sent their aircraft. A total of 45 aircraft had completed 76 missions and 867 sort flights were loaded. These missions included complex campaigns such as air defense, Combat operation, air-to-air refueling, airlift, and reconision.

Furthering this experience Wavelength-2026 being held and large.

Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit said, "wave power-2026 doesn’t only show how many countries and how many aircraft are coming. Its real centers are air warriors, technicians and experts who will learn from each other and work with. "Tarang Shakti-2026)

Operations will also include lessons from the computer

Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit said that experiences met with recent conflicts and Indian military campaigns have also been included in the practice. "The recent struggles have shown how important are precise attack, integrated air defense, unmanned systems, information dominance and multi-domain operations," he said. Operation shifter has also strengthened these realities. "" He clarified that wave strength is not intended only to show its potential, but also to learn new lessons and improve processes.

Special focus on multi-domain operation

According to Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, the practice of this time will not be limited only to the air battle. rather
Information from Satellite, Identification of Target, Mission Planning, Cyber Network, Communication System, Ground Support and Logistic Network will also be created part of the exercise.

He told that only the fighter jets in the modern war do not decide to win. Networking, data sharing, command and control and technical coordination are as important as well.

Indigenous defence technology will find the platform

This exercise will also provide international platform to India’s growing aerospace and defence industry. India’s indigenous platform, sensors, weapons system, unmanned systems and other defense technologies will be displayed in front of foreign representatives during practice.

"India is not the only country to take technology from the world," Air Marshall Dixit said. We are now in a situation where our developed techniques and capabilities can be placed in front of the world. "Tarang Shakti-2026)

The emphasis on partnership and learning

Group Captain Rahul Bhagwal said that the basic objective of wave strength-2026 can be understood in three terms-Integrate, Exam and Larn. "This exercise is not only about flying with, but about learning to work with. Air forces of different countries will understand each other’s methodology, planning process and technical capabilities. "Tarang Shakti-2026)

A report by the Armenian newspaper Hrapparaq (Hraparak) claims that the Ministry of Defense of Armenia has considered the most suitable option to the Indian Gastronomy MK-1 Lotering Mission for long-distance strike missions. While this report has yet been officially confirmed by the Government of Armenia, not the Government of India nor any independent agency.

This report comes at times when Armenia is trying to speed up its drone capacity. In particular, the attack is being emphasized on drones and loiting missions that are capable of attacking long distances.

Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition: Should Drone Killing Up To 500 Kms

According to the 19 September report of Hrapparak, Armenia The Ministry of Defence is constantly monitoring drone technologies that are developed in different countries of the world. The report stated that Armenia is already working with domestic drone manufacturers, but plans to purchase massive extra drones for the army are also being planned.

According to the report, experts from the Ministry of Defence assumed that the first need is to increase the number of strike drones killing about 500 kilometres.

"The comparative study of the most likely foreign UAV models of medium distance in the Ministry of Defence was carried out in the Ministry of Defence. Military experts considered the most suitable option to Indian Gastronomy MK-1. ""

According to the report Armenian defense experts studied various drone models made in America, France, Iran, Ukraine, Israel, India, China and Russia. The motive of this review was to look for a platform that is technically enabled as well as politically less disputed.

Indian in Study, according to Hrapraq English MK-1 went on to several standards. The report claimed that its price is relatively low, has artificial intelligence based capabilities and can also be used as a large number of Swarms. (Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition)

According to the capabilities that have been mentioned in the report, Divyastra MK-1 is a long-distance loiting munuition. Its maximum range is about 500 kilometres. It can stay in the air for about five hours and is able to carry a payload of about 15 kg.

Why should Armenia long-distance drones?

The report stated that the existing drone fleet of Armenia lacks long-distance forest-way attack drones. The analysis claimed that many important militaries and stragegic assets of Azerbaijan are located about 350 to 500 kilometres. Armenia, a long-distance attacking drone in such a, has been instrumental in its military capacity.

According to the report, defence experts believe that the targets located away from this type of capacity can also be targeted. (Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition)

Russia, US and Iran are behind

The drone models from different countries were found to be better performance in different regions according to the Hropraq report, but the overall assessment found priority to the Indian system.

The report stated that the biggest strength of the Russian Orion (Inochodets) drone is its more combat payload. The rapport is not it's the lowering Munition, but the larger MALE is UAV. which can fly for 24 hours, and carry 200-300kg payload. But both price and political burden are higher.

While Iran’s Muse-532 is known for its initial launch speed. The range of mines is about 450km range, 50kg warhead, 3 hours flight capacity. it Shaydow Cheaper than but can be tracked quickly on the radar.

The range of American Lucas (LUCAS) drones can take about 650-800km, 6 hours andurance, 18 kg payloads. Whereas, the price is around 35,000 dollars. US also used it against Iran in 2026.

While the flight speed of the Palanittissia platform of Ukraine was described more. It is a jet-powered, and a drone flying from about 500 km/hour. But large-scale availability and the risk of Russia’s response is accompanied by it.

Despite the report claims that defence cooperation with these countries is linked to many political difficulties.

Why India’s Balanced Options?

Hrapparak wrote in his report that the political aspects associated with the purchase of drones are also instrumental in the decision of Armenia. "If Armenia buys drones from Russia, then dissatisfaction can arise in Europe. Iran may be offended if the US buys. Russia’s response may be revealed if purchases from Ukraine. ""

In this context, the report has described India a relatively balanced and practical partner. (Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition)

India-Armenia trade reached 2 billion dollars

Defence cooperation has been continuously enhanced in recent years between India and Armenia. Armenia has already bought several defence systems from India. The total value of defence deals between the two countries has reached about 2 billion dollars over the past few years. Armenia has become India’s largest defence export customer today.

Armenia bought 4 Swati Vapon Locating Radar from India in 2020. It was also the first foreign export of Swati radar. After this, Armenia ordered Pinaca multi-baral rocket launcher system and guided rockets.

India’s largest defence export deal happened when Armenia ordered 15 batteries of the sky surface-to-air missile (SAM) system at a cost of about 720 million dollars. This first foreign customer of the sky also made and its delivery started from 2024.

Also Armenia has also purchased India’s ATAGS 155mm Tod Hawaitzer Toap, MARG 155-BR self-propelled Torp, Counter-Drone System, Conkers Anti-Tank Missile and a variety of ammunitions.

Meanwhile, Indian Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh visited Yerevan, the capital of Armenia in August this year. Meanwhile, both countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on joint research, defence innovation and joint production.

In recent months, Armenia’s military delegation also visited Indian Air Force’s Western Command Station. While the Indian sky air defense system, Pinaca rocket system and ATAGS cannon was performed in the Republic Day Parade of Armenia in May 2026. In addition, the holocaust missile and the Astra air-to-air missile between the two countries have been negotiated. (Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition)

Armenia making itself too drone

Armenia made a big focus on its domestic drone industry after a massive damage from Azerbaijan’s Turkish TB2 drone and Israeli Haop Loiting Muniition in the 2020 Nagorno-Carabakh War. Between 2023 to 2025, the country gave a close $450 million contract to local defence companies. The most prominent company is Pharmero, which introduced 6 drones of 13 indigenous drones displayed in the military parade of May 2026. These include Drogonfly-3 lowering Muniition, Dev-1.1 and DDS-10K interceptor drone. Although the domestic capacity of Armenia is increasing rapidly, the reduction of one-way attack drones with a 350-500 km range remains. That’s why it’s also considering foreign drone purchase options. Armenia has also bought V-Bat Tohi Drone from the US. (Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition)

Lucknow’s Startup Creates Diwastra MK-1

Divyastra MK-1 is an Indigenous Lotering Mission (Kamikaj Drone) developed by Lucknow-based Startup Hoverit. The company was established in 2022 and is part of Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor.

Hovergit has also made surveillance drones such as eye and arms before and has provided ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconisence) and bombing drones to the Indian Army.

In June 2026, the Operational of the Disabled MK-1 was performed in front of senior officers of the Indian Army in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. During this time the drone was launched several times from the mobile launcher engaged on the vehicle. Over 50 ° C in the desert area, the capacity of the attack on the monitoring mission and targets also appeared.

The company claims that this system is about 95 percent indigenous. Most of the data links, composite structures, optics, and propulsion systems used in it have been developed in India.

Divyastra MK-1 can fly up to about 10,000 feet. Its speed at the time of attack can reach 300 to 400 km per hour. EO/IR (electro-optical/infrared) sensors can be installed. At the same time, the communication relay and the ability to apply a variety of warheads. Artificial Intelligence supports base targeting. And the fully autonomous operation can do and the swarm operation i.e. many drones can run the mission together. In some tests, its endurance is recorded for 5.5 hours.

At the same time, the taxi trials of the Diwastra MK-2 have been completed. Its potential range is from 1,500 to 2,000 kilometres and payload capacity up to 80 kilograms.

There is a version of the Gastronomy MK-3 jet engine. The Indian company is engaged in the engine of DG proption and has been its first flight in August 2026. (Divyastra Mk-1 Loitering Munition)

T-72 T-90 APU Deal
India’s Rs 586 Crore Indigenous APU Deal for T-72 and T-90 Tanks Is a Major Capability Boost. (AI Image)

T-72 T-90 APU Deal: T-72 of the Indian Army and T-90 tanks are going to be more powerful in the coming time. The Ministry of Defence has contracted Rs 586 crore with the company Acuraate Industrial Controls Private Limited (AICPL) located in Pune. Under this contract, indigenous Oxiliary Power Unit (APU) will be purchased for T-72 of the Indian Army and T-90 tanks.

This Agreement in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi is being considered as a key step towards enhancing the operational capacity of the Mechanized Force of the Indian Army.

T-72 T-90 APU Deal: What does it need in APU and tank?

The main engine of any tank is the most important part for its mobility and Combat operation. But in addition to the engine in modern tanks fire control system, gun stabilization system, firing circuit, radio communication, night vision device, sensor, navigation system and many other electronic equipment continue to work continuously.

All these systems need electricity when the tank stands and the main engine is closed. The main engine has to be turned on to run these systems if not an APU. This increases fuel consumption, has additional pressure on the engine and increases the thermal and sound signature of the tank.

Oxiliary Power Unit is the solution of the same problem. It is an independent power generation system that provides power to the electronic system of the tank even when the main engine is closed. T-72 T-90 APU Deal

How does APU work?

APU is usually applied in the previous part or side of the tank. It works like a small generator and produces electricity without the main engine.

T-72 And Davelup APU for T-90 tanks can generate about 10 to 12 kW electricity. These units can work continuously for at least six hours. The biggest draw is that these work with extremely low noises. That’s why they are considered to be an important part of the "Silant Watch" capacity. T-72 T-90 APU Deal

What is Silent Watch Capacity?

It is equally important to monitor the enemy in the modern war as attacking. Several times the tank has to be monitored in one place for hours.

If the main engine is on, its voice and exit heat can easily hold the enemy’s thermal sensor and monitoring equipment. APU can keep all its electronic systems on, without the tank on the main engine.

This makes the location of the tank hidden and its surveillance capacity. T-72 T-90 APU Deal

Ability to work even in tough weather

The Indian Army needs to be deployed in various terrains from the snowy peaks of Ladakh to the desert of Rajasthan. New APU minus can work at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 45 °C. This system will be effective in both extreme cold and excessive heat conditions. That’s why it’s built in view of the operational needs of the Indian Army. T-72 T-90 APU Deal

Armored Fleet Spine are T-72 and T-90

T-72 & T-90 The backbone of the Ormard Fleet of the Indian Army is considered. The T-72 tank is named "Ajay" in the Indian Army. T-90 is known as "Bhishma". The number of thousands of T-72 and T-90 tanks are present near the Indian Army. These tanks play an important role on both Western and North fronts.

While these platforms have been in service for many years, they are being modernized through continuous upgrades.
Developed under Make-II Model

The Ministry of Defence has forwarded this project under the "Make-II" category. The industry itself affords research and development in the Make-II model. The Ministry of Defence orders production after successful testing and performance. The purpose of this model is to give private industry more opportunities in defense research and production.

As per Ministry of Defence, this contract is an example of success of industry-based R&D. It also proves that Indian companies are able to design and develop complex defense systems. T-72 T-90 APU Deal

Pune-based Acurate Industrial Controls Pvt. Ltd. has been working in the long-term defence and power electronics sector. The company develops power solutions, DG sets, UPS and special energy systems for various military platforms. The Company will provide an important subsystem for the most important armored platform of the Indian Army through this contract.

Ministry of Defence The deal has been linked to the goal of India and India 2047, self-sufficient. Indigenous production of important subsystems such as APU for tanks will reduce foreign dependence. This will make the supply chain more secure and easy to maintain.

As per the Ministry of Defence, this contract is an important achievement towards making Indian defence industry more robust, self-sufficient and globally competitive. T-72 T-90 APU Deal

Open threat to Pakistan of Hoots! Houthi attacks open the maize pact pole? Why did the trumpets come?

Houthi Mecca Defence Pact
Houthi Threat to Pakistan Raises Questions Over Mecca Defence Pact as Saudi Arabia Faces Intensifying Attack. (AI Image)

Houthi Mecca Defense Pact: Stress in West Asia is constantly growing. The Hauti movement of Yemen (Assar Allah) has warned Pakistan and Turki in direct words for the first time. The statement of the Hoots came at a time when the missiles and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia have risen and the recent Maize Joint Defense Agreement after these threats have also been questioned.

Houthi The leader Mohammed Al-Bukhati interviewed an Iraqi TV channel on September 19, saying that if Pakistan and Turki together with Saudi Arabia are military interventions in Yemen, they will also face responsive action.

Al-Bukhati said, "If you’re involved in Turki and Pakistan, we’ll be warring of iron on them. As we are teaching lessons to Saudi Arabia today, we will teach them lessons. ""

Though he also clarified that his comment was for the governments of both countries, not to the general public. According to him, the people of Pakistan and the Turkian empathises to the people of Yemen.

Houthi Mecca Defence Pact: First Large Exam After Maize Defense Agreement

This statement of the Hauti leader went directly on August 7 Maize Joint Defense is being linked to the agreement. On this agreement, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President of Turki, Rechep Taiyep Erdoan and Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaj Sharif had knocked out.

The main provision of the agreement is that one of the three countries will be considered to be attacking the three countries when the armed attack is held. It was presented as a collective security system. The basic idea of the agreement is that if one of the three countries is attacked, he will be considered to be attacking all. In the beginning, the Turkish Foreign Minister Hacon Fidan had compared it with Article-5 of NATO.

However, a joint military action has not been public declaration despite the attacks on Saudi Arabia even more than a month after the agreement. No joint air petroling is visible nor a formal declaration of a collective military response. After which, the question arises on this agreement.

Miscellaneous missiles and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia

During September 2026, the Hutts have targeted several areas of Saudi Arabia. The incidents of missiles and drone attacks have emerged in areas such as Riyadh, Taif, Jizan, Nakman, Khamis Mushait, Abha and Yanbu, according to reports.

A ballistic missile stained on Riyadh on September 19-20 Saudi Air Defense System Intercepted. Then the fumes were seen around the capital.

The information about the targeting of energy plants and facilities associated with Aramco in the yanbu region also came out. A person’s death from the drone’s wreck in Taif and many were reported to be injured. Injured a Pakistani citizen was also called to join.

Saudi Civil Defense issued alerts in Maize, Jedda, Nabu and other cities. Alert message issued in record number on 14 and 15 September. (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

Increased tension on the Bab-Al-Mandb Jaldambami

A major cause of stress Bab-Al-Mandb There is also a waterbedroom. It is considered one of the world’s most important marine business routes. According to reports, Hauti forces have strengthened control over strategic islands such as Myune, North Harsh and South Harsh. This increases the pressure on the sea routes of the Red Sea.

Huts have tried to target ships connected to Saudi Arabia and disrupt marine traffic. That’s why international shipping companies and energy market positions are closely monitored.

Impact on Oil Supply

Saudi Arabia joins the world’s largest oil exporters. Yanbu Port and East-West Crude Oil Pipeline are important parts of the country's energy supply system.

Nearly 1,200 kilometres of long East-West pipeline was impacted after the Huti drone attacks according to reports. This pipeline delivers about 40 to 50 million barrels of oil per day from the Persian Gulf to the Green Sea port.

This quantity is considered about 4 to 5 percent of global oil supply. So increasing stress in the area is also being considered important for energy markets.

Concerning Food Supply

Jizan port is the major centre of supplying food ingredients and other essential items in the southern part of Saudi Arabia. Here are cold storage facilities, food terminals and large-scale cargo handling systems. Food supply chain is being affected by disruption in marine routes. (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

Pakistan beats military action

pakistan The support of Saudi Arabia has been reiterated publicly. According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Pakistan will give every possible cooperation to protect Harman Shreefan and Saudi Arabia.

While the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan has clarified that at the moment there is no direct military action being discussed. While Pakistan will also need parliamentary approval for such defence agreement.

Islamabad has emphasised dialogue and diplomatic solutions. Pakistan is also in touch with Iran to reduce regional tension.

Pakistan also criticized attacks on marine ships in the United Nations and protested Bab-Al-Mandb Jaldambami as a means of military pressure.

In July 2026 Pakistan had already warned that if a Pakistani ship was attacked, he would be considered a "Red Line".

Pakistan’s military presence in Saudi Arabia

has long been defence cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. According to various reports, thousands of Pakistani soldiers are deployed in Saudi Arabia in 2026.

The presence of about 8,000 soldiers in some reports, the deployment of JF-17 Thunder fighter jets, military drone squadron and HQ-9 air defense systems have been reported.

These resources are handled by Pakistani military personnel while the larger part of financial expenses carries Saudi Arabia. (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

Why Turkey Cannot Send?

turkish The Article-90 of the Constitution says that international treaties associated with security and defence cannot be applied only by the President’s approval. The approval of the Parliament of Turkey i.e. Grand National Assembly (TBMM) is required.

By mid-September 2026, the Turkish government had not introduced this agreement in Parliament. According to reports it can be placed in front of Parliament in October. A senior Turkish officer pointed out that the defence obligations to the agreement are just "not legally effective".

I.e. Turkey may not say that his army will automatically be involved in any war based on the agreement.

Turkey’s stance has been from the beginning that it will help Saudi Arabia’s security needs, but will avoid becoming part of the regional war directly. External Affairs Minister Hacon Fidan said Saudi Arabia has serious threats on regional integrity and is willing to meet her military and technical needs under the Turkish Maize Pact.

But they did not speak of aggressive military action in Yemen anywhere. Turkey’s emphasis is mainly on defence and technical cooperation.

It includes creating a joint military plan, running training program, sharing intelligence and strengthening defense capabilities.

Also Turkey can provide air defense system, drone technology, monitoring capacity and other technical support. I.e. the focus of the Turkis is on "Definsive Support", not on "Offensive operation". (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

Why does not want to land directly in Yemen?

There are several strategic reasons behind it. The first reason is Iran. Turkey doesn’t want it to be stuck directly into a conflict that led to increased tension with Iran.

The second reason is that the Turkish Huti movement does not officially assume the terrorist organization. This opens the option of conversation and diplomacy.

The third reason is the economic and strategic interest of Turkey in Africa and the Red Sea region. Joining the big war can impact its supply lines and regional projects.

That’s why Ankara’s strategy is to increase diplomatic pressure and resistance capability instead of military intervention. (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

Role of IMCTC and Marine Coalition

The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) led by Saudi Arabia is also part of the Regional Security Frameworks. Former Pakistani Army Chief General Raheel Sharif is headed by the Chief Minister.

This coalition focuses primarily on anti-terrorism cooperation, intelligence sharing and capacity building.

Also, the recent Multinational Merittime Defense Coalition (MMDC) has been created. It aims to ensure maritime security in the Gulf of Red Sea, Bab-Al-Mandb and Adan.

The Pakistani navy officer Commodore Ayod Sheikh is given the responsibility of the Deputy Commander in this coalition. (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

Continuously growing uncertainty in the field

Meanwhile Pakistan’s Khabar Pakhtunkhava attacked the Kafila of Security Forces on 20 September 2026 in Hangu district of the province. According to reports, eight Pakistani military personnel were killed including a loftinant in the attack.

The event has occurred at times when Pakistan is simultaneously facing both internal security challenges and regional stresses rising in West Asia. (Houthi Mecca Defence Pact)

कार्यक्रम के दौरान एचएएल ने भारतीय वायुसेना को दो एलसीए Fastness फाइनल ऑपरेशनल क्लीयरेंस (एफओसी) ट्विन-सीटर ट्रेनर विमान सौंपे। ये एफओसी अनुबंध के तहत अंतिम दो ट्रेनर विमान हैं। भारतीय वायुसेना (आईएएफ) ने 16 साल पहले तेजस एमके-1 लड़ाकू विमान का ऑर्डर दिया था। इसके साथ ही तेजस एमके-1 कार्यक्रम का पूरा ऑर्डर आखिरकार पूरा हो गया है।

इन दोनों ट्रेनर विमानों को फाइनल ऑपरेशनल क्लियरेंस (एफओसी) कॉन्फिगरेशन में रक्षा मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह और वायुसेना प्रमुख एयर चीफ मार्शल ए.पी. सिंह की मौजूदगी में सौंपा गया।

तेजस एमके-1 कार्यक्रम के तहत भारतीय वायुसेना ने दो अलग-अलग ऑर्डर दिए थे। पहला ऑर्डर 31 मार्च 2006 को दिया गया था, जिसमें 20 तेजस एमके-1 विमान शामिल थे। इनमें 16 फाइटर जेट और 4 ट्रेनर विमान थे। यह ऑर्डर इनिशियल ऑपरेशनल क्लियरेंस (आईओसी) कॉन्फिगरेशन का था और इसकी डिलीवरी दिसंबर 2011 तक पूरी होनी थी।

इसके बाद 23 दिसंबर 2010 को वायुसेना ने 20 और तेजस एमके-1 विमानों का ऑर्डर दिया। इस बैच में भी 16 फाइटर जेट और 4 ट्रेनर विमान शामिल थे। यह ऑर्डर फाइनल ऑपरेशनल क्लियरेंस (एफओसी) कॉन्फिगरेशन का था और इसकी निर्धारित समय सीमा दिसंबर 2016 थी।

हालांकि विभिन्न तकनीकी चुनौतियों, परीक्षण प्रक्रियाओं और उत्पादन में देरी के कारण कार्यक्रम तय समय से काफी पीछे चला गया। अब अंतिम दो ट्रेनर विमानों की डिलीवरी के साथ दोनों ऑर्डर पूरी तरह पूरे हो गए हैं।

तेजस ट्विन-सीटर ट्रेनर को इस तरह डिजाइन किया गया है कि वायुसेना के पायलट फ्रंटलाइन लड़ाकू विमान उड़ाने से पहले उसी प्लेटफॉर्म पर प्रशिक्षण प्राप्त कर सकें। इसमें वही प्रमुख सिस्टम और कॉम्बैट क्षमताएं मौजूद हैं जो ऑपरेशनल तेजस फाइटर जेट में हैं।

इसके अलावा एचएएल ने तीन एचटीटी-40 बेसिक ट्रेनर विमान भी भारतीय वायुसेना को दिए। यह पूरी तरह स्वदेशी रूप से डिजाइन और विकसित किया गया बेसिक ट्रेनर एयरक्राफ्ट है।

एचटीटी-40 से कम होगी आयात पर निर्भरता

रक्षा मंत्री ने कहा कि कई वर्षों तक भारत को बेसिक फ्लाइंग ट्रेनिंग के लिए विदेशी विमानों पर निर्भर रहना पड़ा।

उन्होंने कहा, “कई सालों तक हमारी बेसिक ट्रेनिंग आवश्यकताएं इम्पोर्टेड एयरक्राफ्ट से पूरी होती थीं। लेकिन अब एचएएल ने एचटीटी-40 यानी अंकुर का स्वदेशी निर्माण कर लिया है और इसका सीरियल प्रोडक्शन शुरू हो चुका है।”

एचटीटी-40 एक टर्बोप्रॉप इंजन से संचालित विमान है, जिसे शुरुआती पायलट प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित किया गया है। इसमें आधुनिक कॉकपिट और एडवांस्ड एवियोनिक्स सिस्टम लगाए गए हैं।

यह विमान एरोबैटिक्स, इंस्ट्रूमेंट फ्लाइंग, नेविगेशन, नाइट फ्लाइंग और क्लोज फॉर्मेशन फ्लाइंग जैसे प्रशिक्षण मिशनों को पूरा कर सकता है।

राजनाथ सिंह ने इसके निर्यात की संभावनाओं का भी उल्लेख किया और कहा कि इसके फीचर्स अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में भी आकर्षण पैदा कर सकते हैं। (Rajnath Singh Defence Projects Delay)

ध्रुव एनजी हेलीकॉप्टर को बताया बड़ी उपलब्धि

कार्यक्रम में पवन हंस लिमिटेड को चार ध्रुव नेक्स्ट जेनरेशन (एनजी) हेलीकॉप्टर भी सौंपे गए। ध्रुव एनजी नागरिक उपयोग के लिए तैयार किया गया नया हेलीकॉप्टर है। इसमें अधिक शक्तिशाली इंजन, आधुनिक एवियोनिक्स और उन्नत सिस्टम लगाए गए हैं।

इसका उपयोग यात्री परिवहन, मेडिकल इवैक्यूएशन और ऑफशोर लॉजिस्टिक सपोर्ट जैसे कार्यों में किया जा सकता है।

रक्षा मंत्री ने कहा कि यह उपलब्धि भारत की स्वदेशी सिविल एयरोस्पेस क्षमता को मजबूत करती है।

उन्होंने कहा कि किसी भी हेलीकॉप्टर को सिविल ऑपरेशन के लिए सर्टिफिकेशन कराने के लिए लंबी टेस्टिंग और सख्त सर्टिफिकेशन प्रक्रिया से गुजरना पड़ता है। (Rajnath Singh Defence Projects Delay)

आत्मनिर्भर एयरोस्पेस इकोसिस्टम पर जोर

राजनाथ सिंह ने कहा कि भारत का लक्ष्य केवल रक्षा जरूरतें पूरी करना नहीं है, बल्कि एक ऐसा एकीकृत एयरोस्पेस इकोसिस्टम बनाना है जो सिविल और मिलिट्री एविएशन दोनों की आवश्यकताओं को पूरा कर सके।

उन्होंने कहा कि एयरक्राफ्ट डिजाइन, एवियोनिक्स, प्रोपल्शन, कंपोजिट मटेरियल, फ्लाइट कंट्रोल सिस्टम, मैन्युफैक्चरिंग और सर्टिफिकेशन जैसी क्षमताएं विकसित होने पर पूरे एयरोस्पेस सेक्टर को फायदा मिलता है।

उनके अनुसार भारत को डिजाइन, डेवलपमेंट, मैन्युफैक्चरिंग, लाइफ-साइकिल सपोर्ट और ग्लोबल मार्केटिंग तक पूरी वैल्यू चेन में मजबूत बनना होगा। (Rajnath Singh Defence Projects Delay)

एयरोस्पेस सेक्टर में नहीं हो सकता “बिग बैंग”

रक्षा मंत्री ने कहा कि एयरोस्पेस सिस्टम का विकास एक लंबी और जटिल प्रक्रिया है। उन्होंने कहा, “एयरोस्पेस सिस्टम्स के डेवलपमेंट में अचानक कोई बिग बैंग नहीं हो सकता। यह एक बहुत बड़ा और धीरे-धीरे आगे बढ़ने वाला प्रोसेस है। इसमें हजारों कंपोनेंट और तकनीकें शामिल होती हैं। हमें सीढ़ी दर सीढ़ी आगे बढ़ना होगा।”

उन्होंने माना कि इस क्षेत्र में चुनौतियां आती हैं, लेकिन उन्हें प्रगति की राह में पड़ने वाले माइलस्टोन के रूप में देखना चाहिए। (Rajnath Singh Defence Projects Delay)

युवा वैज्ञानिकों को दिया नया चैलेंज

राजनाथ सिंह ने रिसर्च एंड डेवलपमेंट (आरएंडडी) को रक्षा क्षेत्र की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण जरूरतों में से एक बताया।

उन्होंने युवा वैज्ञानिकों, इंजीनियरों, डिजाइनरों और तकनीशियनों से ऐसी तकनीक विकसित करने का आह्वान किया जो अभी दुनिया में मौजूद नहीं है।

उन्होंने कहा, “मैं हमारे यंग साइंटिस्ट्स और इंजीनियर्स को चैलेंज देना चाहता हूं कि वे ऐसी टेक्नोलॉजी तैयार करें जो आज अस्तित्व में नहीं है। आपको ऐसी कैपेबिलिटी विकसित करनी है जो भारत को ग्लोबल एयरोस्पेस टेक्नोलॉजी लैंडस्केप में अग्रणी स्थान दिलाए।” (Rajnath Singh Defence Projects Delay)

सार्वजनिक और निजी क्षेत्र को बताया साझेदार

रक्षा मंत्री ने सार्वजनिक और निजी क्षेत्र के बीच सहयोग बढ़ाने की आवश्यकता पर भी जोर दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि दोनों को प्रतिस्पर्धी नहीं बल्कि एक-दूसरे के सहयोगी के रूप में देखना चाहिए। उनके अनुसार आर्टिफिशियल इंटेलिजेंस, ऑटोनॉमस सिस्टम, अनमैन्ड एरियल सिस्टम, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वॉरफेयर, साइबर टेक्नोलॉजी और नेक्स्ट जेनरेशन प्रोपल्शन जैसे क्षेत्रों में स्वदेशी विकास और इंटीग्रेशन पर विशेष ध्यान देने की जरूरत है। (Rajnath Singh Defence Projects Delay)
