Saab is hoping Indian Army places an order for Carl-Gustaf M4 rifles

Getting approval for 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in defence manufacturing makes Swedish defence company Saab more committed to the ‘Make in India’ vision.

Mats Palmberg, the Chairman and MD of Saab India, spoke to CNBC TV18 about this and said, “Carl-Gustaf is a well-established weapon for the Indian army for many years. We are reasonably confident of the need of the Indian army for replacing the existing inventory of Carl-Gustaf rifles with the latest M4 Version”.

The Indian Army has been using the Carl-Gustaf rocket system since 1970. Now, Saab is offering to make the latest M4 version in India.

Palmberg confirmed that Saab hasn’t received an order from the Indian army yet. However, they have found a location for manufacturing. The whole process, from applying for FDI to getting approval, took about six months.

Saab plans to create an Indian subsidiary to manufacture the Carl-Gustaf weapon systems. While their main focus is the Indian Army, they also plan to export the weapon system.

Palmberg said, “There are opportunties elsewhere in the world as well. But having an order from the Indian army to launch production would be extremely important for our domestic manufacturing. For exports we will have to take permission from both Indian and Swedish governments”.

He also mentioned that making Carl-Gustaf rifles in India would create more opportunities to deepen supply chains. He pointed out that foreign-owned companies are currently not allowed to participate in certain defence contracts. He urged the government to give equal opportunities to companies like Saab that are well-established in India.

Women soldiers, sailors and air warriors will get similar maternity, adoption benefits as officer counterparts

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

India’s defence ministry announced on November 5, Sunday, that the provision for maternity, child care and child adoption leaves for women soldiers, sailors and air warriors had been made at par with women officers in the defence forces. With this, the grant of such leaves to all women in the military, will be equally applicable, irrespective of their ranks.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh approved a proposal for extension of the rules for maternity, child care and child adoption leaves for women soldiers, sailors and air warriors in the Armed Forces at par with their officer counterparts.

As per the government as of March 2023, the total number of women serving in Indian Army, category-wise is as under:

Apart from this, women are serving in officer’s cadre in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the strength of such women officers, as on March 1, 2023, in the IAF (excluding medical and dental branches) was 1,636. The strength of women officers in the Indian Navy, as on March 9, 2023, was 748 including medical and dental officers.

According to some reports, the current maternity rules in defence is as under:

– 180 days leave on full pay for each child subject to maximum of two children.

– In exceptional cases, a further extension of one month may be granted by Naval Headquarters (Chief of Personnel), without pay in addition to annual leave and furlough entitlements.

– 30 days leave on full pay and allowances in case of miscarriage/abortion (including medical termination of pregnancy under MTP Act), subject to the following restrictions:-

(i) Leave shall not be permissible more than twice in the course of service of an officer.

(ii) An interval of not less than 24 months between two successive spells of maternity leave should exist.

The government release said on Sunday that the extension of leave rules will go a long way in dealing with women-specific family and social issues relevant to the Armed Forces. “This measure is going to improve the work conditions of women in the military and aid them to balance the spheres of professional and family life in a better manner,” it said.

From being deployed in Siachen, the highest battlefield in the world, to being posted on warships as well as dominating the skies, Indian women are breaking barriers in almost every field in the Armed Forces. In 2019, a significant milestone was achieved through recruitment of women in the Indian Army as soldiers in the Corps of Military Police.

Infantry Day 2023: History, significance and theme

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

The Infantry Day is commemorated every year on October 27 to recognise the contributions of the largest fighting arm of the Indian Army. On this day, the country pays tribute to the brave hearts who sacrificed their lives while protecting India.

The day is significant because on October 27, 1947, the first troops of the Indian Army landed at Srinagar airport, forcing the invaders, backed by Pakistan, to retreat.

Infantry Day 2023: History and Significance

On October 26, 1947, the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, Hari Singh, signed the instrument of accession, and the princely state became a part of the Indian Union. Following the same, a Battalion of the Sikh Regiment reached the Srinagar air base to fight against the tribal invaders, who were backed by Pakistan.

However, before the first Battalion reached the battleground, Pakistan’s regular soldiers, reportedly disguised as volunteers from the tribal areas of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), had already entered Jammu and Kashmir. The invaders aimed to forcibly occupy the state and integrate it with Pakistan. Soon after the initial resistance by the state forces of J&K, Indian troops were called to fight on October 27 after the Maharaja signed the instrument of accession.

The first Indian battalion was then commanded by Lt Col Dewan Ranjit Rai. After securing the Srinagar airfield, the Indian soldiers rushed to Baramulla to stop the invaders in their tracks. Lt Col Dewan Ranjit Rai was able to delay the advances of the invaders towards Srinagar but he was martyred near Baramulla.

Infantry Day 2023: Theme

The theme of Infantry Day this year is yet to be announced.

Rajnath Singh to celebrate Dussehra with Army soldiers in Tawang

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will celebrate Dussehra with Army soldiers at a forward base in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang on Tuesday, sources in the security establishment said. The defence minister is also set to perform “Shastra Puja” (worship of weapons) in Tawang, they said.

Singh’s decision to celebrate Dussehra with the soldiers at the strategically-important location that is close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) comes at a time India and China have been engaged in a bitter standoff in certain friction points in eastern Ladakh for more than three years. The defence minister will also carry out a comprehensive review of the ground situation along the LAC in the Arunachal Pradesh sector, the sources said.

He is also expected to visit a few forward locations in the region. Singh has been performing “Shastra Puja” on Dussehra for the last several years, including during his tenure as the Union home minister in the previous BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

The Indian and Chinese troops are locked in an over-three-year-long confrontation in certain friction points in eastern Ladakh even as the two sides have completed disengagement from several areas following extensive diplomatic and military talks. India has been maintaining that its ties with China cannot be normal unless there is peace in the border areas.

The Army has significantly bolstered deployment of troops and weaponry along the nearly 3,500-km-long LAC, including in the Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors, following the eastern Ladakh standoff.

Made-in-India UGV ECARS to conduct border surveillance for Indian Army | Key details here

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recently unveiled the Enhanced Collaborative Autonomous Rover System (ECARS) in an annual North Tech Symposium at IIT Jammu. The specially designed ECARS is a cutting-edge 4X4 multi-terrain operative unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), which has been developed by Kalyani Strategic Systems Ltd from Pune.

The North Tech Symposium is an annual event jointly organised by the Indian Army’s Headquarters of Northern Command, the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM) and IIT-Jammu. It offers a platform for defence manufacturers, industry experts and academicians to deliberate upon the requirements of the Indian Army. The event comprises several product launches, military equipment displays and exhibitions. The UGV ECARS were displayed at the recently concluded symposium.

The developer of UGV ECARS, Kalyani Strategic Systems Ltd is a fully owned subsidiary of Bharat Forge, which stands at the forefront of innovation in the field of autonomous military technology. ECARS is designed to perform a wide range of missions such as surveillance, security, rescue operations and safety.

The ECARS is an unmanned ground vehicle as it has no person sitting in the vehicle while operated. However, it is armed with an enhanced collision avoidance system and advanced mission planning capabilities that allow the vehicle to be used for a wide range of military operations. The speed of ECARS ranges between 16 and 20 kilometres per hour, along with a payload capacity of 350 Kg and a towing payload capacity of 500 Kg.

This special UGV is equipped with modern equipment that would help to keep an eye on the border areas of the country, which can soon be used by the Indian Army on the required sites. Currently, a few European countries have been using this feature for border safety. ECARS is made in two different versions, one of which is the wheel version that consists of tyres, while the other version has been designed to be operated in the snowy mountains.

With the help of ECARS, the Indian Army personnel will be able to keep surveillance in a longer range of about 10 kilometres, without even deploying any soldier. Apart from that the vehicle has its own self-defence mechanism through which it can respond to the enemies through fire-fighting and chemical spraying to safeguard itself.

Indian Army boosts defense arsenal with 600 self-neutralising ‘Vibhav’ anti-tank mine

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Six hundred indigenously-manufactured self-neutralising anti-tank mines, known as “Vibhav”, have been inducted into the Army to provide mobility kill against all enemy armoured vehicles, officials said on Monday.

The anti-tank mine is made of new-age plastic, which gives it adequate strength and durability to withstand the requirements of storage, handling and operating in varying field conditions, they added.

“It (the ‘Vibhav’ anti-tank mine) is already in production. It has been completed. It is now in demand. It has been inducted into the Indian Army. Six hundred mines have been inducted (recently),” an official of the manufacturing company told PTI.

Designed and developed completely indigenously in a joint venture with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in India, “Vibhav” is a point-attack anti-tank munition, the officials said.

They said the mines are designed to provide mobility kill against all enemy armoured vehicles.

“Made from new age plastic, the mines have adequate strength and durability to withstand the requirements of storage, handling and operating in varying field conditions,” the official mentioned above said.

The munition can be laid both mechanically or manually, he added.

A host of safety and actuation mechanisms have been incorporated in “Vibhav” to make it safe to handle, lethal against targets and reliable, the officials said.

The integrated explosive, mechanical and electronic safety features ensure utmost operator safety, they added.

On the other hand, the lethality of the munition ensures effectiveness against all current and futuristic armoured vehicles, the officials said.

The munition also incorporates an electronic anti-handling and anti-lift device (EAHALD) that stays active for 120 days once armed, they said.

“We have made three changes in this mine. It has mechanical timers now. Due to this, after 120 days, it will be self-neutralised. It was not available in the earlier mines,” one of the officials said.

The munition is under production by Kalyani Group for the Indian Army. It has a storage life of 10 years with no special storage requirements, he added.

Jammu and Kashmir: Families, villagers come out in support after Army Colonel, Major, DSP killed in terrorist encounter

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Four Army personnel, including Colonel Manpreet Singh, Commanding Officer of the 19 Rashtriya Rifles battalion, Major Ashish Dhonack, Deputy Superintendent Humayun Bhat of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and a jawan were killed in a terrorist encounter in Kokorenag. Another soldier went missing in the gunfight on Wednesday (September 13) morning.

The operation against the terrorists commenced on Tuesday evening in the Garol area but was temporarily halted during the night. It resumed when information suggested that they were spotted at a hideout in the vicinity.

Colonel Singh, leading his team from the front, was critically injured during the gunfight and succumbed to his injuries along with other officers.

Deputy Superintendent Bhat, who leaves behind a two-month-old daughter and is the son of retired Inspector General Ghulam Hasan Bhat of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, passed away due to heavy blood loss.

Singh, who belonged to the 12th Sikh LI, was a recipient of the Sena medal. Dhonack belonged to the 15th Sikh LI.

The banned Resistance Front believed to be a shadow group of Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Authorities suspect that these are the same terrorists responsible for the attack on army personnel on August 4, which resulted in the loss of three brave soldiers in the higher reaches of the Halan forest area of Kulgam district.

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Kent, the six-year-old Army dog that was killed saving the life of a soldier during an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir, had participated in nine operations before this.

The female Labrador-type dog of 21st Army dog unit was killed on Tuesday while trying to save her handler in the Union Territory’s Rajouri district.

“Kent was leading a column of soldiers pursuing fleeing terrorists. It was shot dead by hostile fire,” a defence official said.

Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi said, “Our Kent laid down her life to save her handler. She attacked the terrorist by moving ahead first.” Two terrorists and one Army soldier were killed, while three other security personnel – two Army jawans and one special police officer – were injured in the encounter in the district’s Narla village. Kent led the charge in ‘Operation Sujaligala’.

Kent’s body was wrapped in the tricolour, a wreath laid on it as Army personnel paid their last respects to her on Wednesday.

Carrying an Army number 08B2, golden-coloured Kent was a special tracker dog which participated in its first operation on Poonch link up day on November 14 last year, followed by the induction in operation on December 30 last year, a press brief released by the Army said.

Kent took part in search operations on January 27, September 11 and an investigation into a theft case on April 4.

She also took part in refresher courses and several training sessions to refine her skills.

“Kent laid down her life in the best traditions of the Indian Army while shielding its handler,” an official had said on Tuesday.
