In a significant development that would provide the much-needed impetus to artillery’s firepower, India is ready with an indigenous 155mm, 52-calibre state-of-the-art gun. The Bangalore-based defence public sector undertaking, Bharat Earth Movers Limited, is ready with the wheeled gun and field trials have already started at its testing tracks in the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), Karnataka.

This development comes in the backdrop of the fact that the artillery has not purchased a long-range gun in about 20 years following the Bofors gun controversy. The Government recently gave the nod to inviting global tenders for the 155mm guns and the proposed contract for over 1,000 guns, besides other range of artillery guns including Howitzers, worth over `20,000 crore.

Talking exclusively to The Pioneer, BEML chairman and managing director VRS Natarajan said they were the nodal processing agency for this gun, which would enhance the lethality of the defence forces. The gun is part of a technology transfer between a Slovakian company, DMD, and BEML to produce this high-precision gun for the Indian armed forces.

Natarajan said, “We have already been made a nodal processing agency for the 155mm, 52-calibre gun which is a state-of-the-art weapon to be inducted by India. We will produce and supply this to the defence forces. It’s a technology transfer; India wants to go for a very upgraded tank which is faster, lighter and able to have a greater fire power with lethality.”

He also said, “For the wheeled gun project, we have tied up with a Slovakian company, DMD, for a defence offset and the vehicle has already been made available for trial.

The time frame is about three years from the date of order by the defence forces. We expect it to commence in the current year or at most the next year.”

According to the BEML chief, the company was also looking at the tracked version of the same gun, which will give better fire power. “We have already set up a state-of-the-art, world-class test track. We have a firing range too,” Natarajan said, adding that the PSU was also in the process of setting up infrastructure for the overhauling of T72 and T90 tanks.

According to officials, the 155mm, 52-calibre gun — which is already in use by NATO countries - would augment Indian capabilities. At present, BEML has set up a testing range at KGF and started the trial of Suzana guns. This wheeled gun would increase the artillery power of the Indian Army. The gun’s trial evaluation is over and it is waiting for the request for proposal from the Indian Army, the officials added.

Washington assumera une partie des dépenses militaires slovaques en Afghanistan
Publié le 2013-02-27 14:22:22 | French. News.


BRATISLAVA, 26 février (Xinhua) -- Dans le cadre de la mission de l'ISAF en Afghanistan, des troupes slovaques vont intégrer une unité du Groupe de formation aux opérations spéciales (SOTG), et les dépenses liées à cette affectation seront partiellement prises en charge par les Etats-Unis, a annoncé mardi le ministre slovaque de la Défense Martin Glvac.

"Cette unité du SOTG sera composée principalement de membres du 5e Régiment d'opérations spéciales de Zilina, avec un nombre maximum de soldats fixé à 150", a déclaré M. Glvac, ajoutant que la création de l'unité et la formation des soldats étaient conformes aux engagements internationaux de la Slovaquie.

"Les représentants américains font l'éloge du travail de nos soldats en Afghanistan et nous ont demandé de maintenir notre présence militaire, en promettant une aide financière de 19 à 20 millions d'euros (environ 25 à 26 millions de dollars)", a précisé M. Glvac.

Au total 253 soldats slovaques sont déployés en Afghanistan à l'heure actuelle, et c'est la première fois que les forces slovaques bénéficient d'une telle aide.

Slovakia to replace Mig29s with Swedish JAS39



Slovakia is considering ordering Swedish JAS-39 Gripen jets to replace its fleet of Russian MiG-29s, local media reported Wednesday.

Although U.S. F-16 remains an option, the Slovak Defense Ministry appears to be inclined toward Gripen, because the European jet is cheaper and less demanding in maintenance, said the SME newspaper.

Another factor favoring Gripen is Slovakia's plan to create a joint squadron with the neighboring Czech Republic, which has rented 14 Gripens for nine years and is preparing to extend the contract, it said.

La Slovaquie se dirige vers le Gripen !



La Slovaquie et la Suède ont signé une lettre d'intention pour l'utilisation de l'avion de combat Gripen de Saab, ouvrant ainsi, la voie à une acquisition slovaque potentielle de l'avion.

La Slovaquie cherche à remplacer ses vieux MiG-29 dans les deux prochaines années. Le Ministre de la défense slovaque Martin Glvac a déclaré aux médias locaux à plusieurs reprises que le Gripen est l'avion de combat de choix pour ce remplacement.

Il semble que dans un premier temps, la Slovaquie pourrait chercher à louer des Gripen, comme ses homologues régionaux que sont : la Hongrie et la République tchèque.

La Slovaquie cherche dans un premier temps à louer des JAS-39C/D Gripen, puis pourrait se tourner en direction du Gripen E.

Reste encore à clore cette décision avec à la clef la négociation finale sur cette location, mais un pas important en direction du choix de l’avion suédois a été fait en Slovaquie.

AgustaWestland offers AW139M to Slovakia

Jiri Kominek, Prague - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

AgustaWestland is offering the AW139M to the Slovak Ministry of Defence (MoD) to fulfil an urgent requirement to replace Russian-made Mil Mi-17 'Hip' medium transport helicopters.

The AgustaWestland announcement comes on the heels of a US Department of Defense (DoD) proposal made on 12 January to sell the Slovak MoD nine Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk medium helicopters for EUR300 million (USD347 million) including spare parts and training via the Foreign Military Sales programme.

"AgustaWestland is ready to make an offer to Slovakia with the AW139M and, of course, associated training and support", AgustaWestland spokesperson Geoff Russell told IHS Jane's .

"The offer will be very competitive if compared to the EUR300 million Black Hawk offer. We are sure that, with a much lower cost, the AW139M perfectly fits the country's requirement", Russell added.

Slovak defence minister Martin Glvac said on 12 January that while the MoD is taking the US DoD offer very seriously, it will also consider bids from other helicopter manufacturers. Glvac also made it clear that an ultimate procurement decision would be made by the Slovak government and Slovak Security Council.

Airbus Helicopters did not respond to IHS Jane's as to whether it would also submit a bid to meet the Slovak MoD helicopter requirement.

COMMENT

Over the next six years the Slovak MoD is intending to replace 14 Mil Mi-17 medium transport helicopters that are rapidly nearing the end of their service life and proving expensive to operate and maintain. Furthermore the ongoing armed conflict in neighbouring Ukraine has prompted the Slovak MoD to not only modernise its armed forces with equipment in service with other NATO countries but also phase-out Russian-made legacy platforms over concerns of the availability and costs of spare parts.

Slovakia to open talks with Sweden on Gripen jet fighters


IN ITS effort to boost defence capabilities, Slovakia is set to begin official talks on the rental of Gripen jet fighters from Sweden, with the Slovak government assigning the task to Defence Minister Martin Glváč at its regular session on March 18.

Glváč envisaged the beginning of the negotiations back in late January. The government maintains, as quoted by the TASR newswire, that Sweden is the only country to offer Slovakia an option whereby it could rent flying hours. Details of the costs and number of Gripens to be used in Slovakia are still to be elaborated during the talks.

The Slovak Armed Forces currently have Mig-29 jet fighters at their disposal, the contract for which will expire in 2016. According to Glváč, Slovakia cannot afford to purchase new fighter jets. The Czech Republic is also renting Gripen aircraft from Sweden.

Glváč said, according to the SITA newswire, that the Defence Ministry addressed several producers, governments and military attaches.

“The only partner who fulfils our current conditions is the Swedish government, and the producer of Gripens,” he said.

Glváč also said, as quoted by SITA, that there is still the possibility to continue with current jet fighters for which the license ends in November 2016, or Slovakia might agree with some ally on the protection of air space
