The Ka-226T is a light, twin-engine multi-role helicopter offered by Russian Helicopters, for military and civilian missions. The military version of Ka-226T is designed for operation in hard-to-reach upland conditions as well as hot and cold climates.

It performs surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue (SAR), targeting, and transportation of cargo and troops.

An upgraded design of the proven Ka-26 helicopter, the Ka-226T is fitted with a high-visibility nose, a new cabin design and a new rotor system. Its fuselage integrates a four-leg non-retractable landing gear.

The helicopter also features a new transmission system and Kamov coaxial rotor system, including three upper rotor blades and a set of three lower rotor blades. The new rotor system avoids the need for a tail rotor, which ensures landings and take-offs from small sites.

The rotorcraft integrates a new avionics suite with multifunctional displays (MFDs), automatic control system, navigation system and radar. It can be fitted with hoist system, cargo hook, searchlight and additional external fuel tank. It can also be configured with a medical module for SAR.The module can be quickly installed or removed by just two people.

A total of 1,200kg of cargo can be transported by the helicopter inside the cabin and it can carry 1,500kg load on external sling. The maximum take-off weight with under-slung load is 3,800kg.

A UAV achieving Mach 3? Obviously a rumour.
The X-43 achieved mach 7 tho but I will consider it as a flying weapon.

max speed of that is the designed to be mach 3-5,but still many technical problem, far from mature.

The US X-15 program broke the record at mach 6.7 in 1967.The X-43A is expected to be mach 10 in future.but still for test of technology only I think

Turkey is really pumping out these UCAV's

Turkish defence industry is so advanced!! Although they depend a lot on American companies for parts, but the advancements they have made in projects such as the ACV-15, T-129, Altay, Corvettes, F-16 Block 52+ upgrades, EW suites and Pod, now drones is not short of inspiring.

We have long standing relationship with this company from Obj era. We can start assembling this IFV

some maneuvers which can be done by su-30 series aircraft's

I know right, very ambitious stuff I must commend them for, although most times I keep my opinions on Turkey to myself, when it comes to their defense industry it seems like they are doing everything right.

lol indian fighter aircraft acquisition is the hardest to keep track/make sense of

LWF (light weight fighter)
1.F-16I or Gripen E/F
2.LSA (light stealth aircraft) 5th gen
3.LCA MK1A

MWF (medium weight fighter)
1.Rafale
2.AMCA 5th gen

HWF (heavy weight fighter)
1.FGFA 5th gen
2.Super SU 30 MKI

the entry of this LSA (light stealth aircraft) is interesting , never heard of it before but whispers are being heard , it seems the MOD is interested enough to give it a serious look , after the Rafale deal is signed , i think basically the Indians will look to leverage the TOT accompanying the Rafale deal , into this LSA. LSA is designed as an long range escort fighter with capability to perform SEAD/DEAD deep inside enemy territory. It is supposedly derived from two well proven aircraft types which have been extensively used in India. though lets see if this makes any head way or it is pure speculation.

wonder if the LSA will look anything like this , it is a fan based rendering of stealth LCA

anyways i will say one thing, Indians surely have the craziest procurement/development fighter programmes in the world.and as slow as a tortoise.

Yeah that is very true, a large amount of gun boats operated by the navy have SK weapons mounted on them. As for the army, I don't know of any Singapore kinetics equipment they operate, if they operate any.

Not just with aircraft every they buy.

Their procurement system is me....ssed up.

Why you think that?

in case of large scale dogfighting

if ur pursuing u can still break off to execute a loop in an amount of space barely larger than the airplane (kulbit) and get in a optimal position to take a snap shot with ur WVR missile at a target which was in ur background and who is unaware of the split second maneuver . especially if equipped with HMD coupled with high off bore missile like python 5 u can still get a shot off at the intended target while simultaneously executing kulbit inorder to engage the other one in the background as target of opportunity.

or if ur being pursued u can perform an extremely tight full loop or turn/flip (kulbit), over an opponent chasing from the rear, in order to reverse the combatants' positions and conferred advantages via bleeding off speed and hence forcing the pursuer to overshoot.

opportunities r many on how the kulbit can be exploited standalone or coupled with other maneuvers .

MikeCZA:

correct
but the present govt. is changing it for good, or is trying
60 years of stupidity cannot to cleaned in 3-5 years , will need atleast 5 more years before everything gets running smoothly.

one thing i noticed is if u manage to sell even a single piece of equipment to them ,and it gets their appreciation then ur set for a long time.

look at the trainer acquisition .it took them 30 years to get the hawks and now they will end up with close to 200 of these in the near future.
they already have 130 of these and want to order more and even upgrade it to enable CAS missions.

don't see it happening. More likely pulling a turn like will get you dead. I mean it is a role nothing more, you just bled a lot of speed and showed a big target to the enemy. Your goal should be to turn well not bleeding power or speed. That is why the gripen is seen as more agile as it can do turns with out slowing down as much. many of those turns the SU does slow it down fast witch is cool back when pilots could see the whites of the eyes of the guy they where shooting at but even gun fights take place at long rang these days.

The Indians have the world's worst procurement policy, and the slowest bureaucratic process. It's a problem that is across the board.

It a miss-mash of equipment, so hard to keep track of, and the problem is continuing with the new P.M, regardless of what you're saying.

They've been making the LCA for 35 years, i mean, who does that, while the Pakistanis already have 65 JF-17s already in service.


The LSA would be a rouse, just like the LCA. In perpetual development like a bear on hibernation.

The problem most people have with Turkey is Erdorgan. During the coup attempt everybody in this thread, and the other military threads most likely wished he was toppled.


However, i'm stating to believe that the hatred for Erdorgan stems from massive CNN and BBC anti-media bias against him. I mean, look at the massive amount of support he got during the Coup attempt, unlike with the Islamist in Egypt who was toppled by Sisi, it is very obvious that millions and millions of Turks support Erdorgan.


They, the Turks have a very good defence industry. My problem is, i can't quite understand why the BMC Kirpri keeps getting destroyed. ASELPOD is one of the world's best pods, and i remember the euphoria we had over here when Nigeria showed interest in the T-129.

"Sounds" too movie-like to be achievable in real warfare. However i got to say, Sukhoi planes are the best maneuverable fighter aircrafts.


It such as shame 4 Gen Russian planes haven't down battle with properly trained pilots and crew against 4 Gen American aircrafts.


It's usually top of the line Americans jets versus monkey-model Iraqi or Syrian aircrafts with poorly trained pilots.


Cobra, Bell and Flat spins are my absolute favorites.

I just hope Indians romance with America would not lead to any other Ukraine.

and what is so different now about this particular exercise that it warrants caution. it is never wise to believe media .

to all guys lets dive into the glamorous and murky world of james bond

lets say i give u a trouser (no belts) to wear and i give u permission to hide/camouflage a tool of ur choice
1.which tool would u select
2.where would u hide it in ur trouser

another condition is even if ur hands are tied at the back u must be able to access it.

the cutting tool must not be discovered on frisking and the tool must be sharp enough to cut through ropes and pvc ties.

is there a potential spy in the making among us
lets see the ideas from u guys.

a nuclear bomb mock up

Russia's 'Nuclear Missile Train'
and i almost chocked up when i saw the related utube video , it is so similar.

INS Chakra's/akula II SSN control room and torpedo room during upgrade..

"Operation Behemoth". It was only time ever recorded,when a SSBN launched all its missiles .

.......not many i guess.

The kulbit is a full cobra
