This is what happens when your path to industrialization is to sell out instead of develop strong indigenous capabilities. When the Chinese bought foreign fighters they took the things apart and learned how to build them on their own, and India just kept buying new ones to replace their aging platforms. Now they have no indigenous tech base to develop advanced aircraft platforms despite ramming their head into the 5th gen fighter wall for years

Ran out of reading material on China’s aviation development for now so I’m gonna go entertain myself with the continued misadventures of the Indian military’s attempt to create even a single good plane since the 60s

Taurus cruise missiles from Germany to Ukraine?

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/14/2023 - 08:20 in Armaments, Military, War Zones

The German government is talking to the MBDA about the transfer of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.

This was reported by Reuters, which cited a security source.

“Germany is focusing on heavy artillery, armored vehicles and air defense systems. There is no new information about the Taurus cruise missile,” a German government spokesman told Reuters.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, commenting on Friday on the growing debate about sending Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, said there is no news to report.

“There is no new state of affairs to report on this issue,” Scholz told the German newspaper Thüringer Allgemeine in a story published on Friday.

"Our focus continues to be the sending of weapons for air defense, heavy artillery and also tanks. This is the path we will follow, in close consultation with our international partners," he said.

Several politicians inside and outside the ruling coalition government recently discussed the sending of weapons, which can destroy bunkers and protected command posts at a distance of up to 500 kilometers. The German Ministry of Defense, however, also made it clear when asked that there was no change in policy.

F-15K armed with two Taurus missiles.

Low-flying cruise missiles, such as the Taurus, are difficult to detect by air defense radars. The Taurus has a range of more than 500 km and is launched by fighters such as the Tornado, the F-15 or the F-18. It is mainly used to target high-value targets behind enemy lines, such as command bunkers, ammunition and fuel depots, airfields and bridges.

The United Kingdom and France have supplied Ukraine with Storm Shadow cruise missiles (SCALP), which are fired from Soviet-made modified aircraft, such as the Su-24 Fencer.

Global Heads Up Display market reports

When it came to instrumentation, the first aircraft were equipped with dial gauges, which meant that the pilot had to look down into the cockpit to see all the information needed to fly. These gauges were located on the instrument panel. To make aim easier, military aircraft began using optical reflector gun sights, which displayed images on a glass pane in front of the pilot. Since the Blackburn Buccaneer attack aircraft was designed to drop bombs while flying at very low altitude and very fast, the British Royal Navy created a new kind of gun sight for the aircraft in 1958.

Air speed, attitude direction via compass, angle of attack, acceleration, flight path vector, and other navigational data are displayed on the HUD of military combat aircraft. In addition, it shows the direction, range, and target designator box for missiles as well as cannon targeting information. The Global Heads Up Display market reports were split into modes that show the most pertinent readouts for each in order to keep the amount of information presented to a reasonable level and prevent oversaturation. These modes consist of landing and takeoff navigation. Communications from air to air and from air to ground.

Main factors affecting defence Notice: Expanding Display Industry:

For both synthetic and improved vision, a standard HUD is integrated with these components. By using data from several sensors on board the aircraft, enhanced vision systems give pilots extra information in low visibility situations. The application of algorithms to produce three-dimensional visuals that provide a pilot with a more naturalistic depiction of their environment is known as synthetic vision. One significant advancement in the sector that will boost market growth is the application of sensor fusion to enhance vision.

Factors impacting the Defence HUD Market Capacity:

Heads-up displays, or HUDs, will still be transparent screens that fit inside military pilot helmets or in front of windscreens.AR HUDs and holographic optics are still a few years off. Large field-of-view head-up displays are becoming more and more important for augmented reality applications, but the huge size of the optical components currently limits their design. Large fields of view screens will be the primary industry development driving the heads-up display market's expansion.

Market Forecast and Dynamics for HUDs:

Growing defense spending will stimulate the market for new procurement initiatives as well as platform upgrades with more advanced features and technology. Increasing the defense budget will stimulate the purchase of new aircraft and HUD-using platforms. Procurement will also be impacted by the present geopolitical environment in Europe and the Asia-Pacific area.

Defence Chiefs Draw Attention to Market Analysis of Recent Developments:

The original target of August 2022 for the "roll out" of the first Tejas Mk2 prototype has been rescheduled to the end of 2022. The first flight is anticipated to occur in late 2023. Initially, four prototypes are intended. Described as a fighter aircraft of the 4.5 generation, the Tejas Mk2 will be classified as middleweight instead of lightweight. This single-engine supersonic combat aircraft is produced by Hindustan Aeronautics and serves multiple roles (HAL). The focal points of the glass cockpit will include a wide-angle holographic head-up display system that can be used with night vision goggles and a touch-sensitive broad area display.

Pratt & Whitney delivers the 1,000th F135 engine

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/02/2022 - 16:00in Military

The F135 engine, which drives the F-35 Lightning II, reached the production mark of 1,000 units. In the coming years, series production will continue at a high level, as the F-35 is satisfied with a high demand.

The F135 fighter engine was delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense, reaching this production milestone 13 years after the delivery of the first F135 series engine.

The F135 is an additional development of the F119 turbofan that drives the F-22 Raptor. According to the manufacturer, it offers a significant increase in performance compared to the previous generation of engines. This includes a boost of more than 40,000 pounds (178 kN), a precise and responsive integrated engine control system that allows the pilot to fully focus on the mission, as well as an unparalleled observable signature that allows the F-35 to perform operations in modern access/area (A2AD) environments.

The F135 has continuously progressed in reliability and availability. According to Pratt & Whitney, it now reaches twice the specification for the number of flight hours between two prescribed engine changes.

Jill Albertelli, president of Pratt & Whitney Military Engines, said on the occasion of the delivery of the 1,000th F135: "Each of these 1,000 engines is a safe, affordable and reliable 5th Generation drive in the hands of our customers. The F135 forms the pinnacle of hunting propulsions and ensures that our women and men in uniform fulfill their missions in the most modern threat environments and can return home safely."

Pratt & Whitney has invested more than half a billion dollars in technologies and production processes since 2009 to reduce the unit costs of the F135. Currently, they represent only about 50% of unit costs at the beginning of the program.

The manufacturer produces the F135 at its factory in Middletown, in the U.S. state of Connecticut. In addition to Middletown, the production sites of the F135 also include the factory in West Palm Beach, Florida, as well as a FACO (Final Assembly & Check-Out) factory operated by IHI in Japan.
