Project-705 Lira Alfa-class

Trichy Ordinance factory assault rifle 7.62X39mm

A renewed offensive was being organized at the break of dawn when the Marut jets of 10 Squadron, reinforced by four Hawker Hunters, descended on the battlefield, unleashing T-10 rockets and spitting thirty-millimeter cannon shells at the bogged-down armor in what was described as a “turkey shoot.” By the afternoon, the attack planes had destroyed an additional twenty-two tanks and at least a hundred more vehicles, bringing what should have been an overwhelming assault smashing to a halt. This outcome is particularly remarkable as the Indian aircraft did not benefit from the specialized guided antitank missiles that give modern ground-attack planes high lethality against tanks. Indian ground forces counterattacked by noon, sending the Pakistani force into full retreat, setting the tone for the remainder of the war on the Western front.

The Marut remained in the thick of the action throughout the thirteen-day war, strafing airfields, bombing ammunitions dumps, and hitting tanks and artillery on the frontlines—flying over two hundred sorties and suffering three losses to ground fire. A fourth Marut was destroyed on the ground while taxiing on the runway at Uttarlai by a strafing Pakistani Air Force F-104 Starfighter. Nonetheless, the HF-24s boasted a high serviceability rate and proved quite tough, with several of the jets managing to return to base on just one engine after the other was shot up. Major Bakshi of 220 Squadron even scored an air-to-air kill in his Marut on December 7 when he pounced upon a Pakistani F-86 Sabre, a Korean War–era jet fighter.

After the conflict, there were several proposals to improve the HF-24 by installing more-powerful engines (the Marut Mark 1R and 2), but the Indian Air Force had little interest in investing further in the Marut when it could acquire faster and heavier-lifting Su-7, MiG-23 and MiG-27 fighter-bombers from the Soviet Union. The HF-24 began to be phased out of Indian squadrons in the 1980s, with the last aircraft being retired from 31 Squadron in 1990. Many of the airframes had only seen very limited use. Now the homemade jets serve on, only as monuments throughout India.

There are a couple of lessons to be drawn from the story of the Marut. The first regards how poor planning and a lack of direction can cripple even a promising project. Bureaucracy and corruption have caused many Indian defense projects to drag out so long that the systems being acquired are obsolete by the time the red tape has been overcome.

However, the main problem underlying the Marut program remains hardly unique to India. Quite simply, acquiring or building powerful jet engines remains a major stumbling block even for nations that command considerable financial resources, such as China. This explains New Delhi’s continuing interest today in acquiring new jet engine technology from the United States and Russia.

The other lesson is that effective application can be more important than maximizing technical merits. The Marut may have been a mediocre fighter, but at Longewala, the attack jet’s abilities were called upon exactly where they were need, when they were needed and in a situation where they could have maximum impact. Many technically superior weapons are never employed under such favorable circumstances; thus, India’s Marut jet fighter, though considered a failed design, more than pulled its weight in an actual combat.

M7 Spider anti-personnel networked munitions system - futuristic smartass man in the loop anti personnel mine

copy paste...

The system is composed of Munition Control Units (MCUs), a Remote Control Station (RCS), and a repeater for extending communication range. Up to 63 MCUs can be configured for each RCS. Each MCU can attach up to six Miniature Grenade Launchers (MGL) each of which covers a sixty degree arc.

The MCUs are hand emplaced after which the operator can optionally command to deploy six triplines to provide a sensing network. The operator can be situated up to a mile away from the munition or further with the use of a repeater.When a tripline is activated, the MCU connected to the line signals wirelessly to the Remote Control Station using either the U.S. Army battlefield key management infrastructure or the Navy Electronic Key Management System (EKMS). The operator at the RCS can at that point choose to fire one or more of the attached munitions (grenades or other.)

The MCU is powered by a replaceable battery, lasting for approximately 30 days. After being fired the system can be disabled and fitted with fresh grenades.

The M-7 Spider can also be ordered to "zeroize", purge all data stored in its memory to prevent the systems from being removed by the enemy. Additionally, if the system is tampered with or transported while armed it will become disabled. The M7 Spider does not have the ability to self-destruct or become a victim activated mine or explosive device.

MKU a private Indian company unveils- network centric integrated combat system for soldiers (NICS)

The Indian army Future Infantry Soldier As a System (F-INSAS) programme was terminated in its original format just over a year ago, to be replaced by two programmes.

One covers new assault rifles and protective equipment, while the other falls under the overarching battlefield management system (BMS) requirement.

MKU lists a number of components for the NICS, many of which are proprietary products from MKU’s range.

For example, the company’s Jaguar 14 lightweight monocular night vision device is mounted via a bolt-free Multi-Accessory Connector System (MACS) on a Mukut advanced combat helmet.

Quick-release Custom and Integrated Body Armour (CIBA) body armour is at the centre of the system, as cables for various devices are embedded within the armour vest. Notably, the 4.5kg vest can be released instantly by pulling a tab even if a soldier is in a prone position.

Underneath it is an Equivital health monitoring system that allows commanders to monitor the vital signs and even the motion of their soldiers.

Communications includes a throat mic headset and an Elno personal role radio that possesses a GPS function. Soldiers such as team leaders carry a Toughbook tablet on the chest and a wrist-worn computer device.

A battery pack is carried in a pouch on the back of the ballistic vest. A flexible solar panel also hangs off the right-hand hip to give an extra 2.5 hours of battery life to electrical devices. Leveraging its expertise in electro-optical sights, MKU offers various types of thermal weapon sights for the NICS as well.

It will be another six months before MKU completes development of its system, according to a spokesperson. However, he said the Indian Army had already seen it and had given positive reactions.

The Hindustan HT-2 was an Indian two-seat primary trainer designed and built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The HT-2 was the first company design to enter production in 1953 for the Indian Air Force and Navy, where it replaced the de Havilland Tiger Moth. The HT-2 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear. Powered by a 155 hp (116 kW) Cirrus Major III piston engine the aircraft has enclosed tandem cockpits with dual controls. Apart from military use the aircraft was also used by Indian flying schools.
