Explained: Lockheed Martin delivers pod-sized laser energy weapon to USAF; what is it?

Lockheed Martin has delivered a LANCE system to the Air Force Research Laboratory of the US Air Force for operational testing. What is this energy weapon, and why is this development significant?

What is this energy weapon, known as Laser Advancements of Next-Generation Compact Environments (LANCE), and what are its features? Why is this development significant? What impact will it have on future battlefields? The Indian Express explains.

According to a Lockheed Martin executive quoted by the US website, the LANCE system is one-sixth the size of the other laser energy systems being developed by the company.

Why is this development significant?

The development is significant as it is an acknowledgement that efforts to reduce the size of the laser energy weapon have been successful, and it is now ready to be tested after being mounted on an aircraft.

The fact that the size of the energy weapon has been reduced to that of a pod which can be mounted on a fighter aircraft, or any aircraft for that matter, is an important development.

This laser weapon will give the USAF the capability of shooting down incoming anti-aircraft missiles, thus giving it a crucial edge over its adversaries.

Breaking Defense quoted a Lockheed Martin executive as saying that LANCE is the “smallest, lightest high energy laser of its power class that Lockheed Martin has built to date”. The executive was further quoted as saying it is a critical benchmark in developing an operational laser weapon system in the airborne domain.

While the energy weapon has been developed by Lockheed Martin, the beam control system has been developed by Northrop Grumman, and the pod which will be mounted on an aircraft has been developed by Boeing.

What are the implications of LANCE in future battlefields?

While LANCE has been reduced in size for operational use on aircraft, the system can definitely be put to use on a variety of platforms on land and at sea.

At present, LANCE has been manufactured for a defensive role. However, this research could be furthered to develop an offensive weapon, one that could not only shoot down aircraft and drones, but also be mounted atop ground- and sea-based mobile platforms for offensive roles.

Which countries are actively pursuing development of laser energy weapons?

Apart from the US, several other countries have robust laser energy weapon development programmes. This includes China, Russia, Israel, Germany, France and India.

Israel recently tested its laser weapon to shoot down a drone from the ground.

Russia, meanwhile, said it had tested a laser weapon — Zadira — in Ukraine recently, a claim dismissed by western powers.

While Chinese Navy ships have been photographed with energy weapons onboard, the US Navy officially tested one such system some years back.

India, too, is developing a directed energy weapon named DURGA II, which stands for Directed Unrestricted Ray-Gun Array. It is said to be a light energy weapon of 100 kilowatt capacity.

Cia dossier 4852

Name : T-54/T-55

Type of weapon: Mbt ( Main battle tank)

Description: The main battle tank of the Marxist world and Russia's answer to the American M48 Patton and British Centurion, the T-54/T-55 is the most common and main tank of the Soviet Union and its client states and allies, like Egypt and India. Production totals are difficult to predict, but other analysts have predicted numbers ranging from 96,500 to 100,000, perhaps even more than that number.

Having been the most involved tank in 20th-century and early 21st-century conflicts, it's no surprise that it's still going strong today in the USSR, being a part of its tank range along with the t62 mbt.

It was first conceived in the late 1940s as a replacement for their t-34 tank, which was in use since the Second world war, with the Soviet Morozov design bureau up to the task. they managed to design and develop a tank that was better armed, better armored, and cheap than the t-34. By 1948, the first t-54 tank rolled off the production line.

Ever since then, more of these tanks became produced in the masses, eventually becoming the most produced tank in history.

Design: The t-54/t-55 tank was an excellent tank for its time and since its numerous upgrades, it has only gotten tougher. The tanks are mechanically simplistic and robust as well as easy to operate, which benefits the Soviet tank crews as they don't need to receive high levels of training or education unlike in Nato countries.

The t-54/t-55 is also able to have high mobility, is capable of crossing terrain and even rivers due to its lightweight (14.6), and even is able to operate in winter fighting due to a start-up system.

The t-54/t-55 is also the world's first tank to be equipped with NBC ( Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) Protection.

Armament: The t-54/t-55 has a considerable yet obsolete armament for its age, armed with a 100mm dt-10 anti-tank gun, which has been used since WW2. it is also armed with a Dshk 38 antiaircraft machine gun. Later upgrades include a flamethrower tank, and the ability to launch anti-tank missiles out from the main gun.

Threat level: 9. The t-54/t-55 has proven to be a tough adversary to face off against. Its high mobility and cheapness and ease of production, make it the main tank threat facing Western Europe. However, they are ways to stop this tank and limit its effectiveness.

The internal ammunition supply of the tank is not shielded, carrying the risk of a secondary explosion. The gun, while still tough, is obsolete for the modern age, and it does not have the ability to accurately fire at long ranges, though this is slowly being corrected.

Additionally, the Armor is also weak against anti-tank missiles, though there is a fear that weakness may be overcome.

Nato tanks are to engage the enemy tanks with clear precision and try to limit their numbers as they are often seen in units of 5 to 20 tanks in a single battalion, thus if outnumbered, avoid fighting them head-on and try to shorten their number. Air support will also be use full on the battlefield.

[mariacallous]

NATO defense ministers will gather this week for a ministerial meeting, but one topic of discussion will be anything but routine: the risk that Russian President Vladimir Putin might use nuclear weapons in Europe. The recent massive, disproportionate missile attacks launched against Ukraine in response to the truck bombing of the Kerch Bridge reinforce the notion that the Kremlin remains unpredictable.

Although Russian use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against non-nuclear Ukraine seems unlikely for several reasons, including the fact that it may frustrate Russia’s broader goals, Western military officials can and must think through their potential responses. Doing so is inherently difficult given the many variables in play, but there are options that would punish Moscow and safeguard alliance interests without necessarily propelling the West up a nuclear escalation ladder.

The ministerial meeting in Brussels this week, which will include a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, provides an opportunity for NATO allies and partners to gauge the trajectory of the conflict at a critical moment. Recent Ukrainian battlefield successes, Putin’s partial mobilization, the Ukrainian attack on the Kerch Bridge, and widespread Russian retaliation striking critical infrastructure add up to a war with no end in sight.

Perhaps most importantly, Putin’s illegal annexation of four Ukrainian regions; his reputation for rash, shortsighted behavior; and his nuclear saber-rattling have many on edge about an even more dramatic escalation of the conflict.

So far, Western governments have reportedly seen no evidence—such more trucks or trains appearing to move toward Ukraine from known storage locations—of Russian preparation for the use of nuclear weapons. For this reason, NATO defense ministers could merely continue to condemn the reckless and destabilizing Russian rhetoric regarding nuclear weapons.

For some, this may suffice, under the assumption the risks for Putin are just too high and the associated military benefits too low. However, depending on where, how, and how many are used, tactical nuclear weapons could conceivably counterbalance a quantitative or qualitative disadvantage in conventional forces. This is why the United States developed and fielded them in the Cold War, especially in the 1950s, at a time when the Soviet Union had conventional superiority in Europe.

While their use against a nuclear-armed foe might lead to uncontrolled escalation, it’s unclear that this would occur against a nonaligned country without the ability to respond in kind—like Ukraine. So, it’s possible there could be some military efficacy.

The bigger question is whether there would be any political efficacy. If Putin were to use nuclear weapons in the war, even if only for demonstrative purposes, he would likely further unify NATO and alienate his remaining friends in Europe. He would probably turn China, India, and much of the rest of the world against him. And he could make those areas of Ukraine that he attempted to annex uninhabitable for decades if not longer. From the outside, these all seem like highly undesirable outcomes for the Kremlin.

However, one area where the Kremlin may be willing to risk all that and more is in defense of Crimea. Illegally annexed in 2014 by Moscow, Crimea has a large Russian-speaking population that is generally sympathetic to Russia. It is also home to the strategically important Russian naval base at Sevastopol, which is the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s home port, as well as other military infrastructure, such as Saki air base. Since 2014, Crimea has seen an exodus of ethnic Ukrainians and Tatars, an influx of Russians, and a military buildup.

Given all this at stake, it’s likely Putin perceives Crimea as closer to the core of Russian vital interests than, say, the Kharkiv region, which was recently liberated by Ukrainian forces. If and when Ukrainian conventional military forces approach Crimea in hopes of liberating it, Putin may feel more tempted to use a nuclear weapon.

Whether used to defend threats to Russia’s occupation of Crimea or otherwise, potential Russian use of nuclear weapons demands at least thinking through possible responses. The United States has reportedly devoted some effort to studying this, beginning shortly after Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine. Washington remains clearly committed to avoiding direct involvement in the war, but Biden administration officials have noted that Russian detonation of a nuclear weapon, no matter how small, could prompt a reconsideration.

Although the administration has rightly been vague in spelling out what that reconsideration might entail, one former government official recently speculated that Russia’s use of nuclear weapons could prompt the United States and its allies to destroy Russian forces inside Ukraine.

Although U.S. officials have reportedly briefed allies on contingency plans in Washington, it’s unclear if NATO itself has conducted an in-depth discussion or assessment of options. In an alliance that operates by consensus and given strong U.S. preferences to maintain a unified approach to Moscow, getting NATO on board is critical. It’s important for alliance members to discuss potential alliance-wide responses now, rather than waiting until a crisis moment, and this week’s meeting presents an ideal venue.

Ministers should begin by acknowledging that they have a collective, vital security interest in maintaining the taboo on nuclear weapons usage. Whether responding to a violation of that taboo would lead to immediate, direct allied military involvement in Ukraine is unclear, but ministers should be clear that such an attack would compel an unprecedented alliance response.

What might the menu of next steps include? There are too many variables at play to identify with precision if, where, or how the allies might respond to a Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine. Ideally, any set of responses should entail severe punishment of Moscow and the specific individuals who authorized and conducted the nuclear attack. It should also try to minimize the risk of escalating the conflict further along WMD lines. And it should seek to reestablish the taboo by leaving open the possibility of additional options as a way of deterring another Russian use of WMD.

Within this broad framework, the alliance could consider several options if Russia were to unleash a nuclear weapon against Ukraine. First, NATO could consider further augmenting its presence in Eastern, Northeastern, and Southeastern Europe at sea, in the air, and on land.

Decisions on the alliance’s military presence in Eastern Europe made at the Madrid summit just a few months ago were somewhat restrained, and there remains significant room for increasing NATO’s presence. This might include a reassessment of whether the alliance should deploy land-based nuclear missiles in Europe; expanding allied presence in the Baltic states, Poland, and Romania; or increasing allied air and naval presence in and over the Baltic Sea.

Additionally, NATO could eliminate remaining inhibitions on providing the kinds of equipment to Ukraine that it has been reluctant to hand over thus far. Foremost among these might be longer-range precision artillery, advanced Western tanks, and advanced combat jets. (Air defenses are reportedly already en route.) Furthermore, NATO could authorize and coordinate cyberattacks against critical dual-use Russian infrastructure used to support or finance the war effort. And the allies could begin to seize Russian assets abroad, owned by both the Russian government and individuals directly involved in WMD use, using them to finance recovery in Ukraine.

Other steps could include more direct operational support of Ukrainian forces, such as by embedding military personnel in Ukrainian units. This could be aimed at facilitating advice; providing training and field support for more advanced Western weapons; further easing and speeding the flow of intelligence; and helping in target identification on the battlefield.

In a similar vein, the alliance could conduct clandestine military operations within Russian-occupied Ukraine, including sabotage and aiding resistance forces. And if the alliance wanted to pursue horizontal escalation, it could consider similar clandestine military operations in Russian-occupied Moldova and Russian-occupied Georgia.

In sum, there are many responses NATO can and should consider in the event of Russian WMD use that would not necessarily lead to a spiraling nuclear conflagration. Deliberating those options now is wise so they are ready and available should NATO’s leaders need them. Moreover, examining possible alliance-wide responses to a Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine would help achieve two other important goals.

First, it would prepare both allied leaders and citizens for such a crisis. Although NATO remains a nuclear alliance, some European allies have long preferred to see nuclear weapons relegated to the background when it comes to allied defense. And second, just indicating that NATO was conducting a robust assessment of possible responses would signal to Moscow that WMD use would bring not only greater U.S. involvement but also broad-based European action.

The real purpose of India's cooperation with Myanmar

The latest news shows that the Kokang Alliance Army successfully occupied Daying Mountain (also known as the Four-Faced Buddha), the last strategic high ground in the southeast of Lao Cai a week ago. The location is located at the commanding heights of the urban area of ​​Lao Cai. After successfully capturing the high ground, the Alliance Army launched an attack on the East City District of Lao Cai two days ago and successfully entered the district. The Alliance Army's offensive caused some Lao Cai defense forces to surrender, while some stubborn telecom fraudsters made their last resistance in hotels and casinos. In order to gain an advantage in the street battle, the Alliance Army deployed previously captured artillery and armored vehicles to the Lao Cai battlefield. Except for some positions controlled by telecom fraudsters, most areas of the East City have been controlled. After replenishing ammunition and supplies, the Alliance Army, in addition to continuing to besiege these strongholds, also dispatched troops to try to attack the West City of Lao Cai. There are reports that the Myanmar Army is negotiating with the Alliance Army, and it is expected that the Myanmar Army will withdraw from Lao Cai at the end of this month and be taken over by the Alliance Army. This shows that Bai Suocheng has been abandoned and the end of telecom fraud is coming. Bai Suocheng, who faced the crisis, allegedly distributed a large amount of cash to the defending troops, and his children are also working hard to mobilize the guards to fight to the end. At the same time, a video appeared on the Internet showing a team of well-equipped soldiers walking through the jungle, claiming that they were Indian mercenaries bypassing the ambush circle and entering Lao Cai. In the video, the soldiers suspected of being Indian mercenaries showed the style of regular troops from clothing, equipment to walking posture, like a well-trained special forces. Although the authenticity cannot be verified, there are constant rumors that Min Aung Hlaing paid Indian mercenaries to participate in the war. From a historical perspective, this statement is possible because the two sides have a history of cooperation since 1953. Since Myanmar gained independence from British rule in 1948, the domestic situation has been unstable and various conflicts have occurred frequently. Finally, thousands of World War II veterans were hired from India in 1953, but they failed again. This is one of the earliest records of hiring troops from India in Myanmar's history. In addition, Myanmar and India formed a joint force to fight the rebels. The Myanmar-India border is 1,664 kilometers long, which provides convenience for the Indian rebels. These armed forces used Myanmar as an anti-Indian base, established training camps on the border, and continued to attack India. It was not until the 1990s that India realized the need to improve relations with the Myanmar military to stabilize the border area. In the mid-1990s, the two sides launched the first joint military operation "Operation Golden Bird" to jointly encircle and suppress the rebel forces in the border area. During this period, India also awarded Aung San Suu Kyi the "Nehru Award", which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Myanmar military and caused the operation to be quickly terminated. In 2005, the Indian army assisted the Myanmar army in destroying several bases of the Arakan Army, causing heavy casualties. After the Myanmar military coup in 2021, thousands of Burmese refugees have fled into India, and there are even hundreds of Burmese soldiers. These people have poured into northeastern India, seriously threatening the security and stability of the local situation. If they collude with local ethnic armed forces, it will be a big trouble for India. India needs to maintain its influence in Myanmar to ensure its strength to confront China.

Rare Russian Tank Destroyed in Ukraine - Was Meant for Someone Else? - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/rare-russian-tank-destroyed-in-ukraine-was-meant-for-someone-else-technology-org/

Rare Russian Tank Destroyed in Ukraine - Was Meant for Someone Else? - Technology Org

The T-90 is by any means a relatively new tank. It is a third-generation main battle tank, based on the T-72. The T-90M “Proryv” version is described as the most advanced Russian main battle tank in active service. Of course, this title would be given to the T-14 Armata, but it doesn’t seem to be coming to the battlefield any time soon. But what is the T-90S recently damaged south of Marinka?

T-90S is an export version of Russia’s most advanced active main battle tank. Image credit: Dmitry Terekhov via Wikimedia (CC BY-SA 2.0)

The T-90 was meant to be a unified replacement for the mess of Soviet tanks that Russia found itself using in the 1990’s. Obviously, as you may see, Russia is still operating a bunch of T-72s, T-80s, T-64s and even older tanks. However, the T-90, based on the T-72 chassis, was meant to replace them all.

The standard T-90 entered service in 1992. It is a 46-tonne tank with a 125 mm smoothbore gun, 3 man crew, and advanced steel-composite armour with dynamic protection tiles. Definitely a step up from what the T-72 is, but still just a third-generation main battle tank.

The main event is the T-90M “Proryv”, which entered service in 2016. It is the latest, most modern active main battle tank in the Russian service. It has even more armour (does weigh around 2 tonnes more though), better sights and electronics. “M” stands for “modernised” afterall. The defenders of Ukraine destroyed a lot of T-90Ms already, but every single one of them is a triumph over the Russian defence industry.

Now a news aggregator Noelreports on Twitter posted that a rare Russian T-90S with a TMT-K mine trawl up front was damaged by a Javelin anti-tank missile south of Marinka:

A rare Russian T-90S with a TMT-K mine trawl up front, damaged after it got hit by Javelin ATGM by units of the 46th Air Mobile Brigade south of Mar’inka. The T-90S is an export version of the T-90 especially designed and manufactured for the foreign military market. pic.twitter.com/l1EoMcUGFW

— NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) January 23, 2024

The T-90S is quite a rare sight in Ukraine, because it was never meant to come here. Russia produced the T-90S exclusively for export markets. This version is much older than the T-90M. India received a batch of 42 T-90 tanks back in 2001 and they were designated T-90S to separate them from the tanks meant for Russian service. The T-90S was also exported to Algeria, Armenia, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Uganda and Azerbaijan.

Interestingly, the T-90S was meant to be even cheaper than the T-90. At first, these export tanks got older cast turrets. Instead of the IR dazzlers, meant to fool IR-seeking ammunition, the T-90S got more of the Kontakt-5 reactive armour tiles. Whenever Russia accepted the T-90S into its own service, they were designated the T-90A.

Fielding the T-90S doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t mean that Russia is running out of main battle tanks. Just that they are throwing everything and the defenders of Ukraine get to destroy even a bit more rare machines like this. Also, in regards to exporting the T-90S, it will be interesting to see how the war in Ukraine will affect Russia’s presence in the global arms markets.

Restraining Factor

Economic Fallout of COVID-19 to Lead to Defense Cuts in Several Countries

The global economic crisis precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic has forced countries to reprioritize their spending. According to the World Bank, the world economy could shrink by 8% in 2020, if financial crises in major economies continue to intensify. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that output from the Eurozone could decline by 10.2% in 2020, with recovery expected to begin towards the end of 2022. These projections have spelled serious for defense sectors in most of the major economies. In India, for example, the Indian Finance Ministry instructed ministries to cut their expenditures and experts believe that defense cuts could go as low as 40% in 2020. Moreover, the nationwide lockdown between March and May 2020 led to an estimated loss of USD 3 billion for Indian defense companies. In the UK, the government has suspended budget announcement for 2021 and has undertaken an Integrated Security and Defense Review to rethink spending priorities, which are likely to lead to defense budget cuts. The military vetronics market growth is likely to suffer in this scenario.
