Mig29K and Dornier-228 over Andaman Islands

But does that imply that the reciever antennae on the MiG-29UPG aircraft have not been integrated as yet, since the EW suite is to be test flown this year? If you recall, the MiG-29UPG has new antennae on the wings and under the right rudder, which were part of the internal EW suite. Or were those antennae also from Elettronica?

Its one and the same thing.

PS: The Tx unit on the wingtip in the image on the left should be Rx unit.
In MiG-29, the continous wave and pulse Tx units would be replaced by AESA antennas and cooling systems sourced from elettronica.

The system is probably awaiting CEMILAC approval for flight certification of R-118 SPU on MiG-29UPG and Tejas. It was already done on Su-30Mki 3 years back so it should be a cakewalk. Since R-118 SPU already has provision for MAWS and LWS, I believe they shall be added on later production batches or via minor upgrades.

Army to get Rudra choppers, armed with missiles and rockets in Aug
Rajat Pandit, TNN Jul 9, 2013, 04.09AM IST

NEW DELHI: After fighting a messy turf war with the IAF over getting its own “attack” helicopters, the Army will take a major step forward in getting airborne firepower by raising its first-ever dedicated squadron of “armed” choppers next month.

The first squadron of “Rudra” helicopters, the weaponised version of “Dhruv” advanced light helicopters (ALH) manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), will be raised in Bangalore and later deployed in the western sector facing Pakistan, said sources.

While not in the class of heavy-duty “attack” helicopters, which have greater combat capabilities and armour protection, each Rudra will be armed with a chin-mounted 12.7mm canon, 70mm rockets, Magic Matra air-to-air missiles and anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) to form a “deadly package” against enemy forces.

“The difference between attack and armed helicopters is blurring. The Rudras will constitute the third dimensional maneuver arm to provide ground commanders with a lethal edge,” said a source.

“The ALHs did excellent rescue work in Uttarakhand recently. With combat firepower, speed and mobility, they will prove their worth in military operations too. While a Dhruv costs Rs 47 crore (~$9mil), each Rudra comes for Rs 71 crore (~$13mil),” he added.

The Army will initially induct six squadrons (10 helicopters each) of the Rudras, named after the Rigvedic god of the tempest. The first two squadrons will have imported ATGMs but the next four will have the indigenously-developed Nag-Helina ATGMs with a four-km strike range.

Induction of Rudras marks a significant boost to Army’s endeavour to build its own “mini” air force. The raising of “aviation brigades” for each of the 1.13-million strong Army’s three “strike” and 10 “pivot” corps (each has around 75,000 soldiers) has already kicked off.

The force wants one attack helicopter squadron each for its three “strike” formations – 1 Corps (Mathura), 2 Corps (Ambala) and 21 Corps (Bhopal) — in keeping with their primary offensive role. Moreover, it has plans to induct 114 Rudras for the remaining 10 `pivot’ corps.

The imported ATGM is most likely to be Spike.

Now we can see those side AESA antenna matrix on T-50-4 clearly.

Are you referring to the octagonal patch on the nose ?

nice work, did you do it?
but I think, the imposed Vik outline is a bit larger in scale.

Yeah I did it. I superimposed a GE image of Vik to the proper scale, so its pretty accurate in that way. However it was pointed out to me that the arrested recovery contraption might be at a different point.

Agni-V warming up for a canister-style trial launch
By Anantha Krishnan M – BANGALORE 05th June 2013 08:33 AM

India’s long-range ballistic missile Agni-V is warming up for a canister-style development trial launch in the next one month. The Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO) newly-appointed Chief Controller R&D (Missiles & Strategic Systems) Dr V G Sekaran confirmed to Express on Tuesday that all preparations for the second trial of the 5,000-km-puls missile are in place.

“We are ready, but need to get some clearances as these are all linked to the policies of government. The early induction of Agni-V tops my list of priorities. The Agni-V user deliverables should happen next year,” Sekaran said. The missile had its maiden launch in April 2012.
