Bangladesh rolls out first independently overhauled F-7

The Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) has taken delivery of its first independently overhauled Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) F-7 fighter aircraft, the country’s state-run news agency reported on 4 September.

According to the report, the aircraft was delivered to the BAF at its air base in Bangabandhu at which the service has operated an aeronautical centre since 2011 providing maintenance and repair services.

The report said that China has provided assistance to the BAF in developing its maintenance capability and that in previous years technicians from China and the BAF had collaborated on F-7 overhauls. The aircraft delivered in early September was the first to be overhauled without Chinese assistance.

India to buy 36 Rafale jets in fly-away conditions from France

NEW DELHI: In a potential deal that will give a boost to the country's defence capabilities, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that India is looking to buy thirty six Rafale jets in fly-away conditions from France as soon as possible. The deal with Dassault Aviation has been stuck on cost and gurantee clause. The original Rafale contract was worth $12 billion but was widely estimated to have increased to $20 billion, primarily because of the implications of building some of the jets in India.

“These guns have been indigenously designed [and] developed by DRDO and will be manufactured by production agencies, as nominated by DRDO,” the August 25 MoD statement reads. “They are likely to be the mainstay of artillery in the near future.” Total acquisition cost for the 150 artillery guns is estimated at around $490 million.

No contract for the acquisition of the ATAG has been concluded by the MoD to date.

KJ-600, the aircraft that could help China's navy

The airborne early warning and control plane fills a gap in China's arsenal.

The XAC KJ-600 AEW&C, when deployed on future, catapult equipped Chinese aircraft carriers, will enhance the combat effectiveness of Chinese fighters, and possibly the long-range fire of warships and missiles.
OedoSoldier

China's aircraft carriers are getting plenty of press lately. China's shiny new carrier, Liaoning, visited Hong Kong last week, and the nation launched the Type 001A aircraft carrier in the spring.

There's been less talk, however, of the aircraft on those carriers. In addition to the J-15T fighter's catapult flight testing, China's making strides with its airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) plane for future catapult-equipped aircraft carriers.
