The Indian army wants to expand its aviation corps and has asked the government to give it full control over all tactical air assets in the battlefield, including transport, observation and attack flights. The request sets up a potentially explosive roles and missions battle with the Indian air force, which administers both the country’s attack helicopter squadrons and most tactical lift helicopter squadrons. But army officials feel their tactical flexibility is encumbered by this arrangement and are once again appealing to the government to change the balance of power.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is seeking to buy six new flying tankers to augment its existing aerial refueling capability. The two companies are competing on this tender, expected to cost around 9,000-crore (US$2 billion) include Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and EADS. Both offers include the planes they put forward for the first tender. U.S. aircraft maker Boeing considered its new-generation 767 model as a possible contestant, but missed the January 12 deadline to submit its bid. Boeing cited uncertainty with the U.S. Air Force’s order for 179 aerial tankers as a reason for not entering the competition for the Indian order, which is estimated at $2 billion.

The Indian Army: Organizational Changes in the Offing

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Flag_of_Indian_Army.png

 

By Firdaus Ahmed

20.01.2011

 

The recent headline in a leading national daily, “Indian Army set for its most radical revamp,” is entirely believable. The article informs that “proposals include setting up of a Strategic Command, comprising of Army’s offensive capabilities” which may be implemented as early as March 2010. The reorganization involves the “creation of a Strategic Command, under which the three Strike Corps would be brought together” as “part of the ‘transformation study’ done by a high-level team under Army chief, General VK Singh, when he was heading the Eastern Command.” The article examines this move in relation to India’s Pakistan policy and the inescapable fact of South Asia’s nuclearization.

Un Sea Harrier indien sur le pont du porte-avions Charles de Gaulle

Mer-et-marine.gif

 

20/01/2011

Evènement assez rare, le Charles de Gaulle a accueilli, la semaine dernière, un avion Sea Harrer, de la marine indienne. L'appareil, à décollage court et appontage vertical, est habituellement mis en oeuvre sur le Viraat, l'ancien HMS Hermes de la Royal Navy transféré en 1986 et demeurant jusqu'à la mise en service des nouveaux Vikrant et Vikramaditya le seul porte-aéronefs de la marine indienne. Ce n'est pas la première fois que des appareils de la famille Harrier se posent sur le Charles de Gaulle (des Sea Harrier indiens l'avaient notamment fait en 2006 et des AV-8B+ Harrier espagnols l'an dernier). Mais la manoeuvre est toujours aussi impressionnante qu'originale pour les marins français, habitués à leurs Rafale, Super Etendard et Hawkeye, opérant au moyen de catapultes et brins d'arrêts.
