India to Induct Upgraded Bofors 155mm Towed Howitzers Citat:In election season, the Bofors howitzers are all set to boom once again. But these artillery guns are not the original Swedish ones that brought down the Rajiv Gandhi government in 1989. Instead, they are the electronically upgraded desi Bofors versions called “Dhanush”.
Defence officials on Friday said the formal induction ceremony for the first five of the 155mm/45-calibre Dhanush howitzers, after initial barrel bursts and protracted trials spread over six years, will finally take place at the Gun Carriage Factory in Jabalpur on March 26.
Recurring scandals in India’s artillery procurement projects, from the Swedish Bofors in the mid-1980s to the South African Denel in 2005 and Singapore Technology Kinetics in 2009, stymied induction of long-range, high volume firepower in the over 13-lakh strong Army for over three decades.

IAF test fires Russian missile on June 19 Citat:Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully test fired a Russian air-to-air missile on June 19.
The missile fired from frontline combat aircraft Sukhoi-30 MKI destroyed a target drone off Odisha coast.
Defence sources said the short-range air-to-air missile was fired from the fighter aircraft as part of a user trial. The exercise was aimed at gauging the killing efficiency of the weapon system. The aircraft that took off from Kalaikunda air base in West Bengal fired the beyond visual range air-to-air missile after taking several sorties.
The missile successfully intercepted the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Banshee over Bay of Bengal.
The British drone was flown from the Integrated Test Range (ITR).
Citat:“Two fighter aircraft were engaged in the exercise. One was used as attacker and the other as chaser. After the attacker fired the missile, the chaser tracked its movement and firing precision. The entire exercise was conducted in a real-time scenario,” said an official.
The Russian missile has been procured by India for IAF in order to develop a multi-layered aerial shield for cities against strikes by manned or unmanned air vehicles flying at low and medium altitudes.
Sources said the missile has the capability to efficiently engage targets at both low and medium altitudes in less than 10 seconds.
