India's first indigenous amphibious assault ship turns 25 - The Economic Times


VISAKHAPATNAM: INS Magar, India's first indigenous amphibious assault ship, on Wednesday observed its 25th anniversary here.

Commissioned on this day in 1987 at Kolkata by Admiral R H Tahiliani, the then Chief of Naval Staff, it is the lead ship of its class.

The Landing Ship Tank (Large) of the Indian Navy can carry a variety of infantry combat vehicles, large trucks and troops, as well as a commando carrying helicopter for airborne induction.

It has participated in 'Operation Pawan' during the IPFK campaign in Sri Lanka, and 'Operation Madad' in the aftermath of Tsunami, where it evacuated over 1,300 stranded personnel from various islands in the Andaman and Nicobar.

Meanwhile, Antony has asked the Russians to keep to the delivery schedule of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya which is now on sea trials after a refit at Russian shipyards and is now expected to reach India by July 2013.

2014 is far more likely。

It will be handed over to the Indian navy on dec 4th 2012. And it will take some time in sailing that ship all the way from Russia to India. So first quarter of 2013 is what I'm thinking.

Indian Navy is excited for the P-8I to join its fleet

The second of the eight Boeing P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft being built for the Indian Navy has completed its initial flight. The P-8I is a derivative of the Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 commercial airplane, and was tested on July 12, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

Boeing had successfully tested the first of the eight aircraft earlier this month.

"The programme is on plan and the Indian Navy is excited for the P-8I to join its fleet," said Leland Wight, P-8I programme manager for Boeing.

During the flight, Boeing test pilots performed airborne systems checks and took the P-8I to a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet prior to landing.

Boeing will begin mission systems installation and checkout work on the aircraft in the coming weeks, the statement said.

The aircraft is being built for India as part of a contract awarded in January 2009 and the Boeing-led team is on track to deliver the first aircraft to the Indian Navy in 2013, the company has said.

During the coming months, Boeing test pilots will put the P-8I through its paces over a US Navy test range west of Neah Bay, Washington, and a joint US/Canadian test range in the Strait of Georgia.

The stores the P-8I will carry will have the identical shape and size of real weapons, including the Harpoon anti-ship missile, depth bombs and torpedoes.

In order to efficiently design and build the P-8I and the P-8A, the Boeing-led team is using a first-in-industry, in-line production process that draws on the company's Next-Generation 737 production system.

The P-8I features open system architecture, advanced sensor and display technologies, and a worldwide base of suppliers, parts and support equipment.

The aircraft are built by a Boeing-led industry team that includes CFM International, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Spirit AeroSystems, BAE Systems and GE Aviation.

The very fact that India's defence minister asked the Russians to deliver the ship on schedule means that the schedule is unlikely to be kept。

wait and see。I give 2014 the earliest year during which the aircraft is found within the waters of India。
