IAF admits Super Hercules crash, says it was repaired in two weeks

NEW DELHI: The IAF on Thursday admitted that the C-130J Super Hercules aircraft, which had crashed into a pole at Thoise in December, had to undergo major repairs for over two weeks at the high-altitude military airfield before being flown back to its home base at Hindon for further maintenance and checks.
Officials said one of the four engines, each of which has a six-blade propeller, of the C-130J was damaged in the “ground incident” on December 13. A team of technicians and spare-parts had to be airlifted to Thoise to repair the damaged engine to make the plane airworthy again.

As was reported by TOI, the ill-fated C-130J was being flown by the commanding officer of the elite 77 `Veiled Vipers’ Squadron when it strayed away from the “centreline of the taxiway” after landing at Thoise and hit a pole and other objects. The IAF on Wednesday had flatly refused to answer any queries from TOI.

The ongoing high-level court of inquiry will investigate “every possible aspect” of the mishap to ascertain what led to the incident as well as what action should be taken in the future to prevent any recurrence in the form of fresh stand operating procedures and “pilot orders”.


The IAF had earlier lost a C-130J during “a tactical low-level training sortie” after it crashed near Gwalior in March 2014, killing the five personnel on board. IAF has so far inducted six of the 13 C-130Js ordered from the US for over $2.1 billion.[/QUOTE]

Air Marshal in Mirage crash

A Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft piloted by a 59-year-old senior Air Marshal crashed near Bhind in Madhya Pradesh after reported engine failure soon after noon on Friday. Both pilots — the other being the commanding officer of the concerned squadron — ejected safely.

Air Marshal Anil Chopra is posted in Delhi and heads the Air Force’s personnel branch. While he is a qualified Mirage pilot and the commodore commandant of the No. 1 Tiger Squadron,it is unusual for an officer of his rank to pilot a fighter aircraft.

Air Marshal Chopra was in Gwalior for the silver jubilee celebrations of the induction of the fighter,and had gone up for a sortie with Wing Commander Ram Kumar,who commands the No. 1 Squadron. The IAF’s Mirage fleet is now down to 50 aircraft.

Most of the fighter flying is done by young pilots,and officers beyond the rank of Group Captain are not detailed for operational missions. Air Marshal Chopra,who retires from the Air Force in December,is the oldest and seniormost officer to be involved in a fighter crash.

The silver jubilee celebrations begin tomorrow,with all three Mirage squadrons and a host of retired and senior officers participating.

A court of inquiry has been ordered into the crash but all preliminary information points to an engine failure mid-flight. The pilots tried to restart the engine several times before they were ordered to eject as the fighter lost altitude.

“The pilots reported an engine snag after taking off and ejected shortly afterwards. There was no damage on the ground; both pilots are safe,” an Air Force officer said.

ECUADORIAN AIR FORCE WILL SELL-OFF HAL DHRUV HELICOPTERS

The Ecuadorian Air Force has put up its three Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Dhruv helicopters for sale, which it had acquired in 2009 for its utility transport needs (IHS Jane’s).

The announcement was made by the country’s Minister of Defence Ricardo Patiño last week on Thursday.

Ecuador acquired seven Dhruv helicopters from HAL in 2009 under a $45 million U.S. deal.

Since 2009, four of the seven helicopters had succumbed to accidents, which had resulted in the collective deaths of three military personnel. Thus, the Ecuadorian Air Force grounded its Dhruv fleet, and as of last week, it is seeking to sell off its remaining helicopters.

As per the Times of India (TOI), Ecuador also terminated the Dhruv contract it had with HAL.

TOI also noted that two of the crashes were seemingly a result of pilot error, whilst two could be blamed on mechanical failures.

Notes & Comments:

The HAL Dhruv has had technical issues, even in India. As of 2016, the Indian Air Force (IAF) grounded its Dhruv fleet three times because of technical issues. Within India, it is not clear if this will be blamed upon HAL in terms of quality control during the production process or from a design standpoint.

With the Kamov Ka-226T scheduled to enter production in India in the medium-term and the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) progressing through the development pipeline, the Dhruv will no longer be the mainstay light utility helicopter platform, be it for domestic use in India or the export market.

Nonetheless, the Dhruv episode may contribute to the increasingly strong drive to depend on upon India’s private defence players, such as Tata Advanced Systems (TASL), especially in the long-term as primary contractors for major works, such as airframe production.

Meanwhile, the laughable Chinese products -

Few countries are lining up to buy other Chinese weapons systems, or, if they are, they are throwing out Chinese parts and replacing them with Western systems. This is because China’s defense industry is still very weak when it comes to key technologies like jet engines and electronics. A 2013 New York Times article, for example, noted that Algeria acquired corvettes from China but subsequently outfitted them with French radar and communications gear. Pakistani JF-17 jets use a Russian engine, while Thailand turned to Saab Sweden to upgrade its Chinese-built frigates.

Hahahhahahaha. It is one thing to buy your kid a Made-in-China toy. No sane person wants to depend on China for defence.

LOL - In civilized countries, crashing or replacing main parts is considered a bit more serious than selling off. Hahahahaha - but I guess, one can't put China in that bracket.

LOL would you consider your Anglo master "civilized"? What does the civilized democratic world really think about India?

No country in the world has more open defecation than India, where one in two people defecate outside. Every year, 200,000 children in India die from diseases caused by fecal contamination. Although open defecation has been reduced by 31 percent since 1990, about 300 million women and girls in India still have no other choice. Try to squat in a sari, while holding a cup of water to cleanse yourself and keeping an eye out for rapists.

Then came a backlash from writers such as the academic Shilpa Phadke and the head of policy at WaterAid India, Nitya Jacob. The murders were due to caste issues, they argued. Indian women and girls are raped everywhere, all the time.

"Conventional artillery that uses powder may suffer from the lack of oxygen in plateaus," Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Thursday.

Gun powder carries its own oxidizer. It doesn't depend on oxygen in the air.
