1) Rafales must fly in with Meteor air-to-air missiles, India tells France

India has asked France to arm the first four Rafale fighters with the top-notch Meteor air-to-air missiles, which, with a strike range of 120 to 150-km, can outgun any missile that can be unleashed by Pakistani or Chinese jets. The first Rafale fighters will touch down at the Ambala airbase in May next year.

The request for at least 8-10 Meteor beyond visual range (BVR) missiles to be delivered with the four Rafale jets was conveyed to France during defence minister Rajnath Singh’s visit to the country to formally accept the first fighter at Merignac in the Bordeaux region on October 8.

“Earlier, as per the Rs 59,000 crore deal inked for 36 Rafale jets and their weapon packages in September 2016, the progressive deliveries of the Meteor and the over 300-km range Scalp air-to-ground cruise missiles were to begin several months later,” said a source.“But given the current operational situation with Pakistan, India has asked for faster delivery of at least 8-10 Meteor missiles. France is examining the request,” he added.

2) INS Kalvari to get DRDO developed AIP system in 2024-25

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed fuel cell-based Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) for Indian Naval Submarines recently crossed several milestones in technology maturity and as per report prepared by Business Standard, INS Kalvari the first of the Scorpene submarine already inducted in the Indian Navy will be getting AIP systems in 2024-25 when it is due for mid-life refit. All Six submarines will get DRDO developed AIP system from 2024 onwards which will have a force multiplier effect on the lethality of a diesel-electric submarine as it enhances the submerged endurance of the boat, several folds.

Land-based prototype engineered to the form-and-fit of a submarine has been successfully demonstrated as per requirements of the Indian Navy. DRDO Chairman Dr. G. Satheesh Reddy on a visit to the land-based prototype at the Naval Materials Research Laboratory in Ambernath, Maharashtra assured that all efforts will be made to meet the performance standards and time
