The idea is to get used EMB airframes and convert them into more Mk1s.

Re: Aero India 2023
The stallion is a very old chopper, LM has to stop pitching these outdated platforms to our forces.
Re: Aero India 2023
The CH-53K King Stallion is the latest iteration of the CH-53 Super Stallion.
IIRC, the King Stallion did have her developmental challenges and it has not been smooth sailing with the platform.
I don't know where the Indian Navy will employ this. Would our upcoming IMRH not be enough, that this monstrosity is being pitched?

HEMRL Thermobaric bomb
https://twitter.com/AdithyaKM_/status/1 ... 28161?s=20
Basically, instead of a new casing, they re-purposed the 1000 lbs MC with this TB filling.
And modern fuzing.
Good idea as the blast is 1.6*TNT.
So high brisance with thermal effects.

Re: Aero India 2023
ARDE should try out this PBX as a filling for 155mm shells.
PBX is insensitive explosive and reduces potential for adiabetic expansion in the shell leading to barrel burst.

Re: Aero India 2023
Are these thermobarbaric bombs scaled down versions of the MoM and DaD bombs?
Re: Aero India 2023
Sorry, what are those? To me, it looks like using the casing for 1000 MC bombs.
And filling with PBX for TB effect.

Re: Aero India 2023
Finally got some time to upload the pics I had taken in Aero India. It's not a lot, especially of the data sheets ramana sir had asked for, since I was sick on the day I went and could barely cover all the stands. Hopefully, there is something of value from these pics.
Re: Aero India 2023
From a small display of just Su-30 tyres, MRF has now seriously developed their muscle (pun intended ) to cover most aircraft in IAF service. Hopefully, they have also been able to establish a test and certification facility in India. Last I recall, they had to get their tyres certified somewhere in Europe.

The Brazilian gang. Curiously, they had their engine on for most of the day, perhaps for air conditioning. It was a hot day. But wouldn't A/C be powered by the APU? (I assume it has one)

I couldn't get the individual spec sheets in the wall behind the display, but the photo is hi-res and cliking on this link will open the full pic. Sharing the medium size image inline so it is viewable in a mobile screen as well.
