Les radars belges protègent Kandahar

 

08/11/13 Texte & photos : Bn ISTAR – MIL.be

 

Dans le sud de l'Afghanistan, des véhicules équipés de radars de l'armée belge surveillent l'aéroport de Kandahar. Depuis la fin du mois de juin, huit militaires de l'escadron surveillance du champ de bataille (détaché du Bataillon de Chasseurs à Cheval d'Heverlee) s'attèlent à la tâche.

Ce détachement travaille au profit des forces de protection de la base et est intégré dans la sphère internationale. Les opérateurs utilisent plusieurs véhicules radars pour collecter des informations sur les mouvements autour des installations. Ils se procurent une vue d'ensemble (dans le jargon : la situational awareness) de la force de protection internationale et y assurent la sécurité de tous les militaires de Kandahar. Leurs collègues de la Composante Air garantissent l'appui des éléments non-opérationnels.

 

Le système radar date de 1989. Il avait été utilisé au Kosovo et pour surveiller la base de Kleine-Brogel. Il a poursuivi son évolution après une mise à jour en 2003. Les techniciens d'Heverlee ont doté le radar de caméras dont le réseau permet la commande à distance.

 

À Kandahar, il semble que le système belge soit fort compatible avec celui des Américains. Leur commandant a félicité nos militaires en les remerciant pour leur professionnalisme et l'accroissement de la sécurité sur l'aéroport.

Pentagon Needs to Rethink Cancellation of Meads

 

November 8, 2013 Daniel Goure*, Ph.D. -  defense-update.com



The Department of Defense has a long and unhappy history of spending tens of billions of dollars bringing weapons programs well along the path to completion only to terminate them in the 11th hour. Remember the A-12 attack aircraft, Comanche helicopter, Future Combat System, Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, CG(X) cruiser, VXX Presidential Helicopter and Crusader howitzer.

Often the military service and contractors involved fail to salvage any of the advanced technologies or manufacturing capabilities developed as part of the program. If the political stars are properly aligned, the Pentagon may be pressured into producing a small number of extremely capable but controversial platforms at very high unit prices: Seawolf nuclear submarine, B-2 bomber, F-22 fighter and Zumwalt DDG-1000 destroyer.

In an era of austere budgets and renewed calls for acquisition reform, one might think that DoD would make a concerted effort to admit to its dysfunctional behaviors and reconsider some of its near-term acquisition decisions. Chief among these is the decision by the U.S. Army to terminate the Medium Extended Air Defense System. MEADS was intended to be the next-generation in ground-mobile air and missile defense replacing a wide range of Western systems. MEADS had many attractive features, it was a multinational program — Germany and Italy were co-developers and provided nearly half the funding, it was highly mobile, and the radar and battle management system provided 360-degree coverage against fast moving aircraft and cruise missiles.

 

Just this week, MEADS demonstrated the unprecedented capability to track, intercept and destroy simultaneously two targets approaching from opposite directions. One target represented an air-breathing threat and the other a short-range ballistic missile. Every element of the system worked flawlessly: the 360-degree MEADS Surveillance Radar, a networked MEADS battle manager, two lightweight launchers firing PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement Missiles and a 360-degree MEADS Multifunction Fire Control Radar. This was the third successful test in a row for the MEADS system.

At a time when the Army is trying to become more expeditionary, agile, lighter and responsive to new threats, the decision to cancel MEADS, a system that supports all of these objectives, seems odd. The Army has promised to identify component technologies that could be harvested from MEADS to enhance existing air and missile defense systems. Unfortunately, this means the Army will still be left with a ground-based air and missile defense capability less responsive and mobile than MEADS.

Critics have complained that the multinational character of MEADS increased complexity and cost. But the same could be said about the international F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program which has eight co-development partners. Yet, DoD has stressed international participation as one of the positive features of the JSF program. Germany and Italy would like to keep the MEADS program going, adding new participants. Poland recently expressed strong interest in becoming a MEADS principal. Warsaw would have to put some money to the program for which it would expect to receive significant industrial participation. If other nations can be enticed to participate, perhaps DoD should tell the Army to give MEADS a second look.

U.S. Special Forces To Get C-27Js

 

November 10, 2013. David Pugliese - Defence Watch

 

My Defense News/Navy Times colleague Aaron Mehta has details on the Pentagon’s decision to assign seven C-27J Spartans to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The decision was made a couple of weeks ago. Three of the aircraft will be transferred to SOCOM by the end of November. Four more are in production and are scheduled for delivery directly to SOCOM between December and April 2014, Aaron writes.

 

The fate of the remaining C-27J aircraft has not been decided.

 

His article notes:

“The Air Force is maintaining those C-27s under “Type 1000” storage, which requires the planes be kept in near-active condition. The goal is that when a decision on their destination is made, they can be quickly spun up and delivered.

Altogether, the Air Force has paid for 21 C-27s. With the seven SOCOM planes assigned, 13 aircraft in inventory are destined for the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), known as the “Boneyard,” at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. One more aircraft will end up there after undergoing work at an L-3 facility in Waco, Texas.”

Poland is Interested in Ukraine Anti-Tank Missiles

Corsar, a man portable guided missile weapon system weighing 28 kg can engage moving or stationary targets at ranges of 2,500 meters.

 

November 8, 2013 defense-update.com

 

The Defense Ministry of Poland is considering purchasing anti-tank missiles from the Ukraine as part of the implementation of a weapons modernization program. According to Ukraine news agency Interfax-Ukraine, a Polish executives mission headed by Deputy Defense Minister for Weapons and Arms Modernization Waldemar Skrzypczak, has met last week with representatives of Ukroboronprom State Concern and Ukrspecexport State Enterprise, to discuss bilateral military and technical cooperation. The meeting was held in Bangkok, where the missions attended the Thai defense exhibition Defense & Security 2013. This proposal of the Polish defense ministry will be discussed at a meeting of the Ukrainian-Polish sub-commission for cooperation in the defense industry, which will take place in Kyiv in November.

 

“We are ready to consider the acquisition of Ukrainian-produced advanced 105mm anti-tank guided missiles which were developed by the Promin State Design Bureau. We are also interested in the joint production of high-precision weapons.” Interfax quoted Skrzypczak saying.

 

Since 2003 Poland has fielded over 2,600 Israeli Spike LR missiles, which are likely to remain and even increase the number in service, particularly with the planned fielding of missile-equipped turrets with the new Rosomak wheeled infantry carriers in is planning to buy over the next four years. The Polish interest in these Ukraine missiles could be in in the laser-guided man-portable and tank-gun launched missiles the Ukraine offers. Laser guided missiles are often less costly, compared to EO guided weapons. They are likely to have high immunity to thermal and EO countermeasures.

 

The weapon Skrzypczak has mentioned is likely to be the Corsar, built by the kiev based LUCH Design Bureau. The Corsar weapon system is designed as a semi-active laser guided man-portable weapon (18 kg total system weight), capable of engaging stationary and moving targets at a range of 2,500 m’, its tandem warhead is designed to penetrate 550mm of armor (RHA) behind reactive tiles. The Corsar homes in on laser light reflected from the target. It was designed as an affordable, lightweight anti-tank weapon offering superior range, compared to light ATGW, while maintaining relatively low cost (a system is offered at a cost of $130,000).

 

The Polish Army also operates laser guided missiles with 30 Mi-24 HIND and is interested in arming the W-3/W-3W Sokol light helicopters used for recce, scout and utility missions. For that mission, the Polish military is likely to consider EO and laser guided weapons, to modernize or augment existing systems.

Combat Debut for Rooivalk

November 7, 2013 defense-update.com

 

The South African Denel DH-2 Rooivalk attack helicopter made its combat debut on Monday 4 November, 2013 while conducting armed overwatch and close air support flights of UN personnel in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South African media has reported. The SAAF deployed three Rooivalk helicopters to the DRC in late October, clearing them to begin operations on the day that this first contact took place. This is the first time Rooivalk helicopters have engaged in combat since the prototype’s first flight 23 years ago. Another South African news outlet, DefenceWeb, reported that the Rooivalks had conducted their offensive operations against M23 positions in partnership with a pair of Mil Mi-24/35 ‘Hind’ helicopters of the FIB. The report was not clear on who was operating these Hinds, but India and Ukraine are known to have contributed such helicopters to MONUSCO – the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the DR Congo.

 

Combat Debut for Rooivalk

Two South African Air Force (SAAF) Rooivalks fired multiple 70 mm rocket salvos against M23 rebel bunkers close to the Rwandan border, while operating on behalf of the MONUSCO and its Force Intervention Brigade (FIB). According to the South African website African Defence Review, early reports from sources in the area indicate that the action was successful, with the Rooivalks’ tactical approach through the clouds taking the M23 defenders by surprise and their rocket fire being accurate enough to disperse them and destroy one of the 14.5 mm anti-aircraft guns that had been previously used to fire at the Rooivalks and other helicopters.

 

The attack was combined with a renewed FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo) assault and subsequent claims by the DRC government that the remaining M23 senior commanders have now fled across the border into Rwanda. However this could not be independently verified. Established in November 1999 to monitor and keep the peace in the DRC, MONUSCO currently comprises some 20,688 military and police personnel from 56 countries. According to UN figures, 61 MONUSCO personnel have been killed since the mission began.

This is how the M346I could look like when it is delivered in 2014

 

November 8, 2013 defense-update.com

 

Alenia Aermacchi’s plant in Venegono has begun assembling Israel’s first M-346 advanced jet trainer. The three major components of the first aircraft are currently being joined to form the aircraft’s structure. Israel’s first M-346 – to be called Lavi – in IAF designation – will make its way down the assembly line and roll out of the factory for final checks and delivery to the IAF in the mid of 2014. Israel ordered a total of 30 M-346 as advanced trainers to replace the TA-4 Skyhawk and F-16A/B s Falcons currently in service.

 

Israel is expecting to receive the first two aircraft in 2014 with remaining 28 to be delivered through 2016.

How A2/AD Can Defeat China

 

November 12, 2013 By  J. Michael Cole - thediplomat.com

 

Most of the debate that has surrounded the emergence of China as a major military player in the Asia-Pacific has focused on the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) development of an anti-access/area-denial (A2AD) strategy and its potential impact on a U.S.-led regional security architecture that remains anchored to old concepts.

As China expands its military capabilities and, alongside those, its claims to various territories within the region, the PLA has developed and fielded a variety of platforms that are intended to deter and delay external intervention by U.S. forces in, say, an armed conflict in the Taiwan Strait. The much-discussed Dong Feng 21D (DF-21D) anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), which could theoretically threaten a U.S. carrier battle group on its way to the region, is at the core of such a strategy.

Far less discussed, however, is the fact that China’s A2/AD strategy, or the likelihood that it will directly affect the course of a conflict, is contingent on a U.S. or allied response along conventional lines. In other words, China’s deterrence/denial efforts assume two things: first, that outside forces would seek to deploy closer to China in order to conduct operations; and second, that such deployments would involve traditional warships, aircraft carriers, fighter aircraft and bombers — in other words, everything that the ill-defined Air-Sea Battle strategy promises to include.

This “asymmetrical” approach provides China with a relatively inexpensive way to counter an opponent’s superior platforms: the PLA can afford to build and deploy several DF-21D launchers, while the U.S. would be loath to risk losing modern surface combatants, let alone a multi-billion-dollar aircraft carrier.

Now a new report by the RAND Corporation proposes turning the tables on China by creating a regional A2/AD alliance, relying principally on anti-ship missiles (ASM), to impose a “far blockade” on China should the latter threaten regional security. Under the plan explored in Employing Land-Based Anti-Ship Missiles in the Western Pacific, U.S. forces and partner countries would respond to Chinese aggression by deploying land-based anti-ship cruise missiles with operational ranges of between 100 km and 200 km at various chokepoints — among them the Strait of Malacca, the Straits of Sunda and Lombok and the Java Sea Routes, waters between Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, as well as sea areas between Japan and South Korea — to keep the PLA Navy (PLAN) vessels (and presumably merchant ships) bottled inside the first island chain.

The presence of such missiles, the report argues, would undermine the ability of PLAN warships, transport vessels, and amphibious craft to safely carry out sea operations in those areas while denying them access into the West Pacific. In addition, the size of the aggregate territory involved in the proposed alliance (optimally Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and perhaps Australia) as well as the number of islets on which ASM launchers could be dispersed, would severely challenge the PLA’s ability to locate such systems and render them inoperable using ballistic missiles, air strikes or sabotage.

By resorting to such a plan, small regional powers would be in a position to wage their own A2/AD strategy against China and to threaten, at a relative low cost, more formidable and far more expensive Chinese naval platforms such as warships, landing helicopter docks, and carriers.

However, creating a multinational ASM strategy would not be without its challenges, nor can its formation be taken for granted. Although a number of ASM systems are currently available and their acquisition within the financial means of even the weakest of the partners involved, their effectiveness would depend on the ability of member states to also receive cueing and targeting data from U.S. sensors, which creates challenges (by no means insurmountable) in terms of ensuring that all the platforms involved can communicate.

Moreover, to avoid fostering the impression in Beijing that the U.S. and regional countries are seeking to keep it bottled in, ASM units probably could not be deployed permanently, and instead should be pre-positioned (presumably on U.S. territory) for rapid deployment amid rising tensions resulting from Chinese aggression or threat thereof. Access to heavy lift capabilities and operational airfields in partner countries would therefore be crucial elements for the success of this strategy.

For obvious reasons, proposing such an alliance would be controversial. Nor can it be assumed, as the report notes, that countries in China’s periphery would be willing to risk Beijing’s ire by joining the effort, unless conditions in the region deteriorate dramatically and the PLA’s posture becomes more aggressive than it is currently.

Moreover, an ASM component alone would be insufficient to ensure the ability of a member country to counter a Chinese attack. While “far blockade” would make the operations of the PLAN more difficult by denying its surface combatants the ability to expand beyond the first island chain or to approach enemy waters, it would have little value against other branches of the Chinese military, such as its air force and the Second Artillery Corps.

That said, as an instrument of deterrence, a flexible multinational ASM partnership could achieve much more, and at a much lower cost, than the longstanding approach of sales by the U.S. of highly expensive (and oftentimes vulnerable) conventional platforms like fighter aircraft and warships to regional allies

Budget de la Défense: Le Drian dément toute tension avec Bercy

 

11/11/2013 boursorama.com (AFP)

 

Jean-Yves Le Drian a démenti lundi toute tension avec Bercy dans l'élaboration de la loi de finance rectificative concernant le budget de la Défense, contrairement à ce qu'affirment des informations de presse.

 

Dans un communiqué, le ministre indique qu'il travaille avec son homologue du Budget pour garantir que les ressources nécessaires à la défense "seront au rendez-vous" pour respecter les objectifs de la Loi de programmation militaire en discussion devant le Parlement.

 

Celle-ci est "l'expression la plus complète de la politique de Défense définie par le président de la République", poursuit-il.

 

Dans le même temps, "ces objectifs tiennent compte (...) de la nécessité de garantir notre souveraineté financière aussi bien que notre autonomie stratégique".

 

La mise au point de M. Le Drian fait suite à des articles de presse, notamment dans Le Monde daté de mardi, faisant état de vives tensions entre Bercy et la Défense en raison d'un refus du budget de dégeler des crédits sur lesquels comptait la Défense.

 

Ces informations "ne reflètent ni la qualité des relations que j'entretiens depuis longtemps avec Bernard Cazeneuve, ni le travail que mon équipe et la sienne entreprennent de concert, y compris pour résoudre de la meilleure façon possible les difficultés qui marquent la fin de la gestion 2013 du budget de l'Etat", écrit M. Le Drian.

 

"Notre objectif commun est de garantir que les ressources nécessaires à notre défense seront au rendez-vous, en particulier à travers le respect des objectif de la Loi de programmation militaire 2014-2019", assure-t-il.

 

Une "communication commune avec le ministre du Budget permettra de le vérifier" mercredi, jour où la loi de finances rectificative doit être présentée en Conseil des ministres.

 

Les industriels de la défense se sont notamment inquiétés de voir le ministre du Budget préparer des coupes dans le budget de la Défense que le président Hollande s'était engagé à préserver.

 

"On parle d'annuler 600 millions d'euros de crédits sur le budget de la Défense 2013", avait déclaré vendredi à l'AFP Marwan Lahoud, président du Gifas qui regroupe les sociétés spécialisées dans l'industrie aéronautique, spatiale et militaire.

12/11/2013 Par Christophe Lucet - sudouest.fr

 

Le patron de la région militaire relativise l’impact des coupes budgétaires.

 

Comment adapter l’outil militaire à la « forte contrainte budgétaire » actuelle ? C’est le défi auquel s’est attaqué le général Jean-François Furet-Coste, le nouvel officier général de la zone de défense Sud-Ouest. Et l’expérience de sa mission précédente (il était chef de la division ressources humaines de l’état-major des armées à Paris) va lui être utile pour gérer la baisse d’effectifs prévue pour la période 2014-2019 par la loi de programmation militaire en discussion au Parlement.

 

« Notre région militaire est loin d’être la plus impactée », relativise ce général de corps aérien de 54 ans qui chapeaute aussi l’état-major interarmes d’une zone de défense couvrant quatre régions (Limousin, Aquitaine, Poitou-Charentes, Midi-Pyrénées) : sur les 7 500 suppressions de postes prévues en 2014 (1), les unités des 20 départements de la zone « cotiseront » à hauteur de 500 postes - dont 15 à l’état-major -, chiffre à comparer avec les 43 000 personnes (civils et militaires) employées dans les dix bases militaires régionales.

 

La zone Sud-Ouest, qui abrite de nombreux régiments de choc et forces spéciales préservés par les coupes, a plutôt profité des récentes réorganisations. La base aérienne (BA) 120 de Cazaux (Gironde) a été désignée pour accueillir l’escadron 2/2 Alphajet en provenance de Dijon en vue de mutualiser le soutien à ces escadrilles, dont les liens se renforcent avec les forces spéciales. Cela représente une centaine de personnes. Et, en 2012, la BA 106 de Mérignac a accueilli les 850 membres du personnel de la Simmad, structure hier implantée à Brétigny qui maintient en condition opérationnelle 1 300 aéronefs de 42 modèles pour un budget annuel de 1,8 milliard d’euros.

 

Démenti sur la Simmad

 

Jean-François Furet-Coste a tenu à démentir les rumeurs faisant état du retour prochain de la Simmad en région parisienne : « Je n’ai pas la moindre information indiquant un éventuel retour sous d’autres cieux, ou même une baisse de ses effectifs. » Le général quatre étoiles préfère insister sur le maintien des capacités militaires, sur le plan tant régional que national, et sur les perspectives ouvertes par le renforcement des capacités de cyberdéfense, de transport lourd (l’arrivée de l’A400M) ou du nombre de drones (l’unité est à Cognac).

 

Le successeur du général Jean-Marc Laurent (dont il n’a plus la tâche de commandement des forces aérienne, confiée au général Soulet à Dijon) a profité des cérémonies du 11 Novembre pour évoquer les commémorations de la guerre de 14-18. « Le préfet de chaque département est en train de recenser les initiatives », indique le général Furet-Coste, qui a chargé le général Beaussant de gérer ce dossier lourd, car presque toutes les communes de la région voudraient faire appel à l’armée pour leur cérémonie. « On ne pourra pas être partout », prévient le général, qui rappelle que 2014 coïncide aussi avec le 70e anniversaire de la Libération.

 

Des hommages régionaux sont déjà envisagés, comme celui consacré aux tirailleurs sénégalais, dont le camp d’entraînement était à Arcachon. On prépare aussi un hommage au défunt 144e RI de Bordeaux, qui était monté au front le 5 août 1914, fut décimé et ne reprit jamais sa place dans la capitale aquitaine…

 

(1) Il y en aurait 24 000 d’ici à 2019, s’ajoutant aux 10 000 déjà supprimés.

Traité Ciel ouvert: vol d'inspecteurs russes en Grèce

 

MOSCOU, 11 novembre - RIA Novosti

 

Des spécialistes russes effectueront un vol d'inspection en Grèce du 11 au 15 novembre dans le cadre du Traité Ciel ouvert, a annoncé lundi à Moscou le chef du Centre russe pour la diminution de menace nucléaire Sergueï Ryjkov.

 

"Un groupe d'inspecteurs russes survoleront la Grèce à bord d'un avion Antonov An-30B du 11 au 15 novembre dans le cadre du Traité international Ciel ouvert. L'avion décollera de l'aérodrome de Nea Anchialos. Le vol sera effectué selon un trajet convenu avec la partie grecque, avec une distance maximale de 1.010 km", a indiqué M.Ryjkov.

 

Les experts grecs et russes contrôleront conjointement l'utilisation des moyens techniques de surveillance et le respect des ententes conclues. Il s'agit du 38e survol par les experts russes d'un pays signataire du Traité Ciel ouvert.

 

Signé le 24 mars 1992 à Helsinki, le Traité Ciel ouvert est appliqué depuis le 1er janvier 2002. Le document vise à accroître la transparence et la confiance entre les Etats signataires dans le domaine des activités militaires et du contrôle des armements. Il instaure un régime de libre survol des territoires des différents Etats parties au Traité.

 

Le traité a été signé par 34 Etats d'Europe et d'Amérique du Nord, membres de l'Organisation pour la sécurité et la coopération en Europe (OSCE). La Russie y a adhéré le 26 mai 2001.

Germany's domestic intelligence agency has warned American sites in the country could be at risk of attack from people angry about the NSA spying scandal. The message has worried officials in Rhineland-Palatinate, where the Rammstein air base is located.

 

Following recent revelations about NSA spying, SPIEGEL has learned that Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution recently issued a security warning to authorities in the country's 16 states.

Due to the ongoing sequestration and budget battle in Washington the US Army has been forced to delay its Apache new build and rebuild programs to AH 64 E standards. This means the current type as used by the British Army is likely to be supported for longer giving the MOD some vital breathing space to decide what to do about its Apaches.

 

Currently UK thinking seems to be slanted towards going for a rebuild on the current fleet but reported costs for the US program would put a rebuild on the entire UK Apaches fleet some where north of $600 million which is probably not something the MOD can consider for the next few years at the very least.

 

However as the rebuild will see the fuselage and main rotor replaced, if it was to go ahead would it be worth the UK looking at a marinised version? The aircraft is said to have performed very well from Ocean but it has some severe maintenance issues when being used in a salt water environment. Could a rebuild offer us the chance to solve some of these issues and produce a truly purple asset.

Taranis First Flight

 

November 10, 2013 by martin – Think Defence

 

It seems that the long awaited first flight of Taranis in Australia has already taken place but been kept a under wraps. I would love to know  more about this aircraft and many of the outlandish claims in the media including that it is super sonic with a 2,000 – 4,000 mile range and one of the lowest Radar Cross Sections ever recorded. But the men at the ministry are giving nothing away for once.

The killing of French journalists illustrates the volatile situation in northern Mali

 

8 November 2013 Liesl Louw-Vaudran, ISS Consultant

 

Condolences continue to pour in from across Africa and France following the death of two French journalists in the remote desert town of Kidal, northern Mali, last weekend. Ghislaine Dupont and Claude Verlon, who worked for Radio France International (RFI), were forced into a car in front of the house of one of the leaders of the Touareg Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) on Saturday, 2 November, and found shot dead outside the town a few hours later.

 

Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta said he was ‘devastated’ by their deaths. ‘I find no logic in it. It is an inhumane act,’ he told reporters. RFI, which is very influential in Francophone Africa, was ‘like family’, he said. He promised that everything would be done to find those responsible. On Wednesday, local media reported that up to 35 people had been arrested in relation to the crime, although no details of their identities filtered through. Later a Mauritanian news agency reported that Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) had claimed responsibility for the crime.

 

The killing of the French journalists illustrates the volatile situation that prevails in northern Mali and especially in the Touareg stronghold Kidal, situated 1 500km north of Bamako and surrounded by desert terrain. The assassinations also come in the wake of the liberation of four French hostages, who were held by AQIM in Mali for the past three years. Many questions are still being asked about whether a ransom was paid for these hostages and, if so, whether it was justified.

Antonov An-26

Antonov An-26

 

07 November 2013 by Guy Martin – defenceWeb

 

The Mozambique Air Force will soon receive two second hand Antonov An-26B transport aircraft, which are currently being refurbished in the Ukraine.

 

The An-26B-100s have been worked on for the last few months at Kiev-Zhuliany in the Ukraine, according to Air Forces Daily. One was seen in July painted in Force Aerea de Mocambique colours while a second was seen test flying in late July. It is not clear exactly how many An-26s are destined for the Mozambique Air Force or when exactly they will be delivered.

 

It is not clear from where the aircraft originated, but it is certain that they are not ex-Mozambican examples, as these are unserviceable. Six derelict An-26s are in open storage at Maputo, two are at Beira and one at Cuamba, reports Air Forces Daily. Mozambique’s Air Force received around ten An-26s from 1978. One crashed on March 30, 1986, whilst trying to land at Pemba Airport, killing 3 crew and 41 of 46 passengers on board.

 

Reports of the An-26 acquisition are the latest to emerge regarding the modernisation of the Mozambique Air Force, which until recently almost ceased to exist. Earlier this month it was reported that the country will soon receive eight MiG-21s (six Mig-21Bis and two MiG-21UM trainers) from Romanian company Aerostar once their overhaul is complete, together with an L-39 jet trainer and two Festival light aircraft.

 

The arrival of the MiG-21s will give the Air Force a jet capability not had in years, as its MiG-21s have fallen into disrepair and are grounded.

 

Another recent acquisition occurred in September when the Air Force took delivery of a second hand Hawker 850XP business jet, built in 2005.

Libyan army launches push for order in troubled Benghazi

 

11 November 2013 defenceWeb (Reuters)

 

Libyan's army moved into Benghazi in eastern Libya on Friday, a show of force aimed at restoring order in the country's second largest city, rocked by almost daily bombings and assassinations.

 

Security in the port city, an important part of Libya's oil infrastructure, has deteriorated in the past few months with armed militants and radical Islamists roaming unchallenged, highlighting the anarchy in the OPEC producer two years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.

 

Most countries have closed their consulates in Benghazi after a series of attacks and some foreign airlines have stopped flying there. The U.S. ambassador was killed in September 2012 during an Islamist assault on the consulate.

 

Stability in the region is key for oil supplies as around 60 percent of oil production comes from the country's eastern half.

 

Hundreds of armored troop carriers and army trucks mounted with guns drove through the old city near the Corniche after Friday prayers, cheered by residents tired of violence, witnesses said.

 

"We stand by the people," Wanis Bukhmada, commander of special forces in Benghazi, told a crowd. "We won't allow anyone to mess around with security anymore."

 

Some 500 people took to the streets, welcoming the army, which has been accused by critics of keeping largely to barracks in recent months.

 

"We are with the army. There is no security without the army," political activist Hania al-Gumati told Reuters during the demonstration.

 

But hours later unknown gunmen killed a security officer in Benghazi, a security source said.

 

Authorities reinforced the city with special forces in June after some 40 people were killed in clashes between rival militias, which helped bring down Gaddafi but kept their guns after the NATO-backed revolt.

 

Western powers worry that instability in Benghazi will spill over to the capital Tripoli, which saw the worst fighting between militias this week.

 

Three militiamen were killed during heavy fighting between rival groups with anti-aircraft guns and grenades on Thursday night, Sadat el-Badri, head of the local council told Reuters.

 

He said authorities would undertake "decisive action" to stop militia fighting but analysts are skeptical as the weak government of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan struggles to control much of a country awash with arms.

 

Protests and strikes over higher pay and political rights have shut down much of the country's oil output, depriving the government of the main source of income.

11 November 2013 by Guy Martin – defenceWeb

 

Enhancing the Reserve force, building up the South African Army and strengthening peacekeeping capacity are some of the Department of Defence’s main priorities, according to its annual report.

 

The report, for the 2012/13 financial year, said the enhancement of the South African National Defence Force’s (SANDF’s) Landward Defence Capabilities was “essential” in order for it to carry out all the missions required of it.

 

The report noted that the South African Army received no equipment from the Strategic Defence Procurement Package, like the other arms of service did, and is thus lacking technologically advanced equipment. Enhancement “is considered a priority”, especially if the Army is to operate jointly with the Navy and Air Force.

 

More money was allocated last year to the landward defence programme, due mainly to extra maintenance requirements for the SA Army’s ageing vehicles and the renewal of some equipment. The SA Army will further be enhanced in the coming years with the delivery of Badger armoured vehicles, which are being built by Denel Land Systems.

 

Enhancing the SANDF’s peacekeeping capability and deployability was another priority, as “the role of the SANDF in promoting peace and security in the region and on the African continent necessitates the enhancement of the SANDF’s peacekeeping capability that will include the SANDF’s Forward Deployment Capability.”

 

The Department of Defence report noted that the revitalisation and transformation of the reserves was an important ongoing task, as the Reserves are needed to fulfil various defence tasks in support of the regulars. “The Reserves were transformed to fulfil their primary role of providing the majority of the conventional landward capability of the SANDF, whilst at the same time supplementing the peace support missions conducted by the Regulars,” the report noted. Thousands of reserve forces personnel were used during the 2012/13 financial year to support everything from border safeguarding to peacekeeping deployments.

 

In its report, the Department of Defence stated that it was important to review the arrangement for the repair and maintenance of defence force facilities, with the aim of establishing an in-house DoD Works Capability. This would allow the SANDF to assume full responsibility in looking after its own facilities, following problems encountered with the National Department of Public Works (NDPW).

 

“The DOD has steadily progressed with the establishment of the Defence Works Formation which is currently functional and executing identified renovation projects for facilities occupied by the DOD in close co-operation with the NDPW,” the report said. “The creation of the Works capability has enabled the DoD to assume selected custodian responsibilities from NDPW and in the process created job opportunities.”

 

Other priorities outlined in the annual report included job creation, the National Youth Service, enhancing maritime security (primarily through the South African Maritime Strategy) and restructuring and supporting the defence industry (through the Defence Review Committee).

 

A number of capacity constraints were identified by the DoD’s accounting officer that impacted on priorities, such as skills losses, which “continued throughout the period under review, resulting in some critical skills needing to be acquired from industry at exorbitant cost. Although new personnel were recruited and trained, it will take time for these members to gain the necessary experience.”

 

The skills shortage affected peace support missions, leading to the to the non-compliance with minimum standards of serviceability of major equipment. Consequently, the Department of Defence was not fully reimbursed by the United Nations for the use of its equipment.

 

As previously mentioned, the state of primary equipment, particularly within the Army, “continued to decline to unacceptable levels. Additional funding provided for maintenance and repair of the operational vehicle fleet has had some effect, but is not sufficient to address this concern adequately. The rejuvenation of these capabilities therefore remains one of the DOD’s top priorities.”

Russie: le 3e SNLE du projet Boreï serait homologué en 2013

 

MOSCOU, 11 novembre - RIA Novosti

 

Le troisième sous-marin nucléaire russe du projet 955 Boreï, Vladimir Monomakh, devrait être homologué fin décembre, a annoncé lundi à Moscou Sergueï Soukhanov, chef de groupe au Bureau d'études Roubine en charge des sous-marins nucléaires.

 

"Le Vladimir Monomakh achève ses essais d'usine et doit entamer ses tests d'homologation en décembre. Nous avons assez de temps, puisqu'il s'agit d'un sous-marin produit en série dont le programme d'essai est moins chargé que celui d'un navire tête de classe (…). Nous faisons tout pour faire signer l'acte de réception du sous-marin avant 2014", a indiqué M.Soukhanov dans une interview à RIA Novosti.

 

"Dans le même temps, les tests du Vladimir Monomakh peuvent prendre fin en 2014, compte tenu des tirs d'essai supplémentaires" de missiles intercontinentaux Boulava décidés par le ministre russe de la Défense Sergueï Choïgou, selon lui.

 

Le sous-marin nucléaire lanceur d'engins (SNLE) Vladimir Monomakh (projet 995 Boreï) a un déplacement de 14.700/24.000 tonnes et peut plonger à 450 mètres de profondeur. Sa vitesse est de 15 nœuds en surface et de 29 nœuds en profondeur. Son équipage comprendra 107 sous-mariniers.

 

Le premier sous-marin de la série, Iouri Dolgorouki, a été remis à la Marine russe en janvier 2013. Mais le ministre Choïgou a décidé début septembre de suspendre la mise en dotation de deux autres sous-marins de la série, Alexandre Nevski et Vladimir Monomakh, après l'échec d'un tir de Boulava survenu lors des tests de l'Alexandre Nevski le 6 septembre. D'ailleurs, la décision du ministre ne concernait que les tirs d'essai des missiles Boulava.

 

Les tests des sous-marins se sont poursuivis selon le calendrier. L'Alexandre Nevski, qui a achevé la partie maritime des tests d'homologation le 28 octobre, sera livré à la Marine russe fin novembre ou début décembre prochain, d'après le Groupe unifié de construction navale russe (OSK).

 

Capables de tirer des missiles balistiques intercontinentaux Boulava, les sous-marins nucléaires du projet 955 Boreï constitueront la base des Forces navales stratégiques russes après la mise au rebut des sous-marins de classes Akoula (Typhoon selon le code de l'OTAN), Kalmar et Mourena (Delta-3 et Delta-4 selon l'OTAN) en 2018.

ABM: Moscou contre l'instrumentalisation du dossier coréen

 

NEW DELHI, 11 novembre - RIA Novosti

 

La Russie juge inadmissible d'utiliser les tensions dans la péninsule coréenne comme prétexte pour y déployer des éléments du système de défense antimissile (ABM) américain, a souligné lundi à New Delhi le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Sergueï Lavrov.

 

"Nous jugeons inadmissible d'utiliser la situation actuelle comme prétexte pour accumuler des armements modernes en Asie du Nord-est, notamment pour y déployer des éléments supplémentaires du bouclier antimissile", a déclaré M.Lavrov, intervenant lors de la 11e réunion ministérielle du Dialogue Asie-Europe (ASEM).

 

Et d'ajouter que les conditions étaient à présent réunies pour une reprise rapide des négociations à Six sur la dénucléarisation de la péninsule coréenne.

 

"Ces négociations n'ont pas d'alternative", a indiqué le chef de la diplomatie russe.

 

Les négociations à six réunissant la Russie, la Chine, le Japon, les Etats-Unis et les deux Corées ont été lancées en 2003 en vue d'amener Pyongyang à abandonner ses programmes nucléaire et balistique. Elles ont été suspendues en 2009 sur fond de détérioration des relations entre les deux Etats coréens.

 

La 11e réunion des ministres des Affaires étrangères du Dialogue Asie-Europe (Asia-Europe Meeting) se déroule dans la capitale indienne les 11 et 12 novembre.

 

La Russie a adhéré à l'ASEM lors du 8e sommet de cette organisation qui s'est tenu en octobre 2010 à Bruxelles. Lancé en 1996 à Bangkok, le Dialogue Asie-Europe réunit actuellement 52 membres, dont les 28 pays de l'UE et la Commission européenne, 16 Etats de la région Asie-Pacifique et le secrétariat de l'ASEAN, ainsi que d'autres pays d'Europe et d'Asie.

Le commandement de l’US Navy pourrait être décapité par une affaire de corruption

 

12/11 LesEchos.fr (AFP)

 

Au cœur de l’affaire, les prestations logistiques fournies à la marine américaine en Asie. Plusieurs officiers supérieurs sont inculpés, d’autres sont visés par l’enquête.

 

Prostituées et billets verts contre informations et surfacturations: la Marine américaine est confrontée à une affaire de corruption qui prend de l’ampleur et implique des officiers supérieurs, avec en toile de fond les énormes besoins logistiques de l’US Navy. L’enquête du NCIS, les limiers de la Marine, a débuté mi-2010 mais les premières inculpations remontent à ces dernières semaines et plusieurs responsables de la Navy prédisent de nouvelles arrestations.

 

Au centre de l’affaire, un homme d’affaires malaisien de 49 ans installé à Singapour: Leonard Francis, surnommé « Fat Leonard » pour son tour de taille généreux, arrêté en septembre en Californie et placé en détention provisoire depuis. L’homme dirige Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA), un avitailleur pour les navires américains lorsqu’ils font escale dans les ports d’Asie du Sud-Est et du Pacifique. GDMA se charge notamment de les approvisionner en nourriture, eau et carburant, de fournir des remorqueurs ou encore de récupérer les eaux usées et les ordures.

 

Les sommes en jeu sont importantes: en juillet 2011, la société a remporté un contrat de cinq ans pour un montant de 200 millions de dollars. Leonard Francis et le numéro deux de GDMA Alex Wisidagama sont soupçonnés d’avoir corrompu plusieurs officiers, commandants de navires ou responsables logistiques et d’avoir surfacturé certaines de leurs prestations.

 

Parmi eux figurent le commandant Jose Luis Sanchez, chargé de la logistique auprès de la VIIe flotte, responsable du Pacifique. Il est soupçonné d’avoir perçu 100.000 dollars, et bénéficié des services de prostituées et de voyages payés par Leonard Francis, notamment contre des informations sur les mouvements de navires, dont certains sont classifiés.

 

« Tes souhaits ont été exaucés »

 

Dans un courriel du 20 octobre 2011, Leonard Francis demande par exemple au commandant Sanchez de s’arranger pour que l’USS Mustin, un destroyer qui s’apprêtait à faire escale dans un port thaïlandais, ne soit pas ravitaillé en carburant avec des cartes prépayées, à un tarif négocié à l’avance, mais que la mission soit confiée à GDMA. Pour un prix d’un million de dollars, soit le double de ce qui aurait été versé avec les cartes prépayées.

 

« Avant même que tu ne le demandes, tes souhaits ont été exaucés. On s’en est chargé ce matin », lui répond l’officier. Une autre série de courriels en octobre 2009 détaille les préparatifs d’un voyage de l’officier à Kuala Lumpur avec des amis aux frais de GDMA. « Je vais vous trouver un nid les gars et quelques oiseaux », lui promet l’homme d’affaires, en allusion aux prostituées.

 

Un ancien commandant de l’USS Mustin, Michael Vannak Khem Misiewicz, a lui aussi été inculpé pour corruption. Cet homme de 46 ans, qui avait fui le Cambodge des Khmers Rouges alors qu’il était enfant et été adopté aux Etats-Unis, était considéré comme une étoile montante de la Marine.

 

« Tailhook scandal »

 

En tant que responsable logistique, il est soupçonné d’avoir redirigé les navires vers certaines escales où GDMA pouvait surfacturer ses prestations. Un troisième commandant, Daniel Dusek, est également inquiété et a été relevé de son commandement début octobre. Un officier du NCIS, John Bertrand Beliveau, a de son côté été inculpé pour avoir renseigné Leonard Francis sur les avancées de l’enquête.

 

Et vendredi, ce sont le vice-amiral Ted Branch, directeur du renseignement naval, et le contre-amiral Bruce Loveless, directeur des opérations de renseignement, qui ont été inquiétés. Leur rôle n’a pas été précisé mais la Navy a annoncé la suspension de leur accès aux informations classifiées le temps de l’enquête.

 

Un haut responsable de la Marine a confié à l’AFP craindre que cette affaire n’atteigne une ampleur comparable à celle du « Tailhook scandal » en 1991. Une centaine d’aviateurs de la Marine avaient alors été impliqués dans une affaire d’agressions sexuelles perpétrés à l’occasion d’une convention de leur association à Las Vegas, qui avait longtemps ébranlé la Navy.
