Six military landing facilities to be prepared in Arunachal

[kurup]

Tezpur: Six advanced landing grounds will be prepared immediately by Indian Air Force in Arunachal Pradesh for emergency landing of defence aircraft and helicopters.

The advanced landing grounds would be set up at Ziro, Vijay Nagar, Mechuka, Pasighat, Tuting and Walong, defence sources said in Tezpur today.

The Border Road Organisation in Tezpur under Army’s 4 Corps has taken measures to complete surface communication projects within the stipulated period, the sources said.

Union DoNER Minister Paban Singh Ghatowar during a visit to the state earlier this week had said Rs 35 crore had been earmarked by his ministry for development of surface communication along the Sino-India border.

Ghatowar had also suggested that the Army and Air Force build up suitable surface and air communication there.

The defence sources said the 417 km long road along the Sino-India border in Arunachal Pradesh is expected to be completed this year.

IAF, the sources said, will develop an air field at Panagar in West Bengal for landing C-130J aircraft.

Looks like the wheels of development are turning in AP and that too rapidly.

CM-400AKG becomes Pakistan's 'carrier killer'.

Pakistan has fielded a new very-high-speed long-range air-launched missile that senior officers in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) have described as "an aircraft carrier killer".

The CM-400AKG is a Mach 4 plus-capable air-to-surface weapon developed in China and now in service with JF-17 aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force. (Robert Hewson) The weapon, designated CM-400AKG, was designed and developed in China by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) and was revealed at Airshow China 2012, held in Zhuhai from 13-19 November.

The CM-400AKG is now part of the operational weapon set of the PAF's JF-17 Thunder multirole fighter. "This is a mature weapon that has been fully tested. It is not conceptual. It is in service," Air Commodore Mahmood Khalid, PAF JF-17 Deputy Project Director stated. "The CM-400AKG is a very high-speed missile that is very difficult to intercept. It hits the target at Mach 4 or above and its kinetic impact alone is enough to destroy any high-value target, like an aircraft carrier."

The CM-400AKG first appeared, briefly, in public at last year's Dubai Airshow, when a placard for the weapon was placed alongside a PAF JF-17 - and then removed. The weapon itself was not shown. At the time PAF personnel acknowledged it was a new Chinese-built air-to-surface stand-off missile. However, the initial assumption that it was a derivative of the C-802 anti-ship missile has proved to be very wide of the mark.

The CM-400AKG is a 400 kg solid-rocket-powered weapon that can be fitted with either a penetrator or blast/fragmentation warhead.. It is a fire-and-forget precision-guided weapon that can be fitted with several seeker options, which are understood to include an active radar seeker and an imaging infrared seeker with target-recognition (TR) capabilities. PAF sources say the missile can be pre-programmed with digital imagery for highly precise attacks against fixed sites in TR mode, but it can also be retargeted in flight by using the radar seeker option

The range of the CM-400AKG is understood to be in the 180-250 km class. It is designed for use against fixed or what were described as "slow moving" targets. CASIC data indicates that after launch the CM-400AKG climbs to high altitude and terminates with a high-speed dive on the target. The PAF describes the missile's impact velocity as "hypersonic".

Both CASIC and the PAF note that the CM-400AKG has been developed as a JF-17 weapon. The PAF currently has two squadrons of approximately 36 JF-17s operational. A further ten or eleven aircraft have been delivered and a third squadron will be established early next year.

It is about time they do that. For the last damn half a century there was nothing there except soldiers with their rifles.

Good to see this development taking place. I hope they start doing the same here in Sikkim as well.

For heavens sake, we don't even have a damn dual purpose airport except Bagdogra airport in WB. And we need a hell load of roads other than the one that connects us to rest of the country. During the earthquake, it got blockaded and there was hell here.

CHina gonna think about SU-35 seriously now

 

[sexy gun]

i think we should occupy BD if China crosses the border.. that should be a deterrent after all china cares about BD so much

 

[hellboy007]

arunachal or occupied south tibet

Hey dude anybody can call a piece of land by any name if it pleases him. I can call bangladesh 'Occupied Bengal' but me saying so doesnt make it one. I have seen and talked to many people from AP and they are more than happy being part of India.
How can you call it "Occupied South Tibet" when China itself has occupied the real Tibet and politically it doesnt even exist.
Long story short-Troll somewhere Else.

Sinochallenger I never bought china in for any sort of comparison. I agree You guys are far ahead cuz you had a 10 years headstart in infra in that area. Real Infra work in North East by GOI started only a few years back. It would take a decade or so for some major changes in that area to be visible. For now just enjoy the show
