Clearly the report about our flights being cancelled owing to the supposed exodus of pilots appears to be falsified,” the statement emphasised. Against the backdrop of developments surrounding the airline, aviation experts have stated that most airlines in India were in the doldrums already, despite placing massive orders for aircraft with Airbus and Boeing to the tune of an estimated 50 billion USD.

Prithvi uses a single state, twin-engine liquid propulsion system and strap-down inertial guidance with real-time software incorporated in the onboard computer to achieve the desired accuracy during impact. It has a higher lethal effect compared to any equivalent class of missiles in the world. Prithvi is a unique missile today having manoeuvrable trajectory and high level capability with field interchangeable warheads. Its accuracy has been demonstrated in the development flight trials. Another missile India launched this year was the ‘Shourya’ which has a 700-km range. The missile, once again developed by DRDO, was launched from a canister in a ground launch mode from Balasore. The launch was aimed at a predefined target in the Bay of Bengal. Ships located near the target tracked and witnessed the final event with the missile reaching the target within a few metres accuracy. The ‘Shourya’ is equipped with multiple advanced computing systems, and very high accuracy navigation and guidance systems. Earlier in the year, another missile, named ‘Prahaar’ was also successfully launched. The missile, with a range of 150 kms, comparable to the ATACMS Missile of United States, fills the vital gap between Multi Barrel Rockets and Medium range Ballistic Missiles. The missile is capable of carrying different types of warheads and operates as battle field support system to the Indian Army. With a length of 7.3 meters and diameter of Indian Missile 420 mm, weighing 1280 kgs, ‘Prahaar’ has a single stage solid propulsion system and goes to a height of 35 kms before reaching targets of the range of 150 kms in about 250 seconds. The missile, equipped with state of the art high Programme accuracy navigation, guidance and electro mechanical actuation systems with the latest onboard computer, achieved terminal accuracy of less than 10 meters. on Course The ‘Prahaar’, which has a payload of 200 kgs, has a fast reaction time, which is essential for the battle field tactical missile.

Human confl ict. Natural disasters. Unstable borders. Whatever

the cause, there are 375 million people who are expected

to need urgent aid in the next fi ve years.* For them, Airbus

Military means a better, quicker response from military

and political leaders. WHY AIRBUS MILITARY VERSATILITY MEANS HOPE

FOR 375 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. It means the A400M, an airlifter so

advanced it’s able to fl y 37 tonnes of equipment over 3,200 km

into an unprepared landing strip. Or the A330 MRTT, supremely effective as a

tanker and as a transport for aid, personnel and medevacs. Or the C295 and CN235,

the ultimate in fl exible mid-sized transport and surveillance aircraft.
