Defence IQ endeavours to ensure accuracy wherever possible, but errors are often unavoidable. We encourage readers to contact us if they note any need for amendments or updates. We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.

  • Than Neighbors New Developments in the Institutional Strengthening of Mexico’S Armed Forces in the Context of U.S.-Mexican Military Cooperation
    More than Neighbors New Developments in the Institutional Strengthening of Mexico’s Armed Forces in the Context of U.S.-Mexican Military Cooperation By Iñigo Guevara February 2018 More than Neighbors New Developments in the Institutional strengthening of Mexico’s armed forces in the context of US-Mexican Military Cooperation By Iñigo Guevara “With Mexico, very, very strong, quiet military-to-military relations” … … “This is a relationship that has been many decades in the making. Just go back - just for an example - go back to World War II. It doesn't start with us. It will not end with us.” -U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis1 Strategic Reasoning for Closer U.S. –Mexico Military Ties Despite the deep cultural and economic diversity of North America’s 486+ million inhabitants, the interconnectedness of the three countries means that they all face, to various degrees, the same threats, which range from serious to existential. Existential threats have long been narrowed to a nuclear war with Russia, to a much lesser degree China, and the now aspiring North Korea. The lack of an existential threat from the south has meant that Mexico was not a priority for the U.S. defense community. Mexico’s non-interventionist interior-looking foreign policy, the lack of an external threat, and an extremely complex politico-military relationship also meant that the defense relationship with the United States was cordial, but distant over several decades. Since the 1980’s, the Mexican Navy and Air Force did source their token conventional fighting capacity from the United States: a squadron of tactical jet fighters and a flotilla of second-hand destroyers and frigates; however, this was mainly out of convenience rather than a strategic decision to develop binational defense ties.

  • Anuradhapura Air Base Attack: the Full Story
    Anuradhapura Air Base attack: The full story • Attack on Air Base makes mockery of govt's propaganda war • The base had no contingency plan The Sri Lankan Government’s propaganda war which used impressive slogans like ‘liberating the eastern province’, ‘sinking floating warehouses’, ‘restricting the Tigers to the Wanni’ and ‘crushing terrorism outside the north and east’ was made a futile exercise by a team of 21 members of the Black Tiger killer Squad of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and two dual engine light aircrafter that changed the entire situation in one night. Coming out of their hideout the Tiger team carried out a devastating attack on the highly fortified air base of the Sri Lanka Air Force at Anuradhapura early morning on Monday. Embarking on the first such attack in the world by a terrorist organisation, the LTTE launched a ‘Commando Style’ operation against a professional force placing the Government in a very embarrassing situation. During this attack, which resulted in the virtual control for over seven hours of the strategically crucial air base, the Black Tigers destroyed more than 80 percent of the assets of the base’s hanger including a multi-million dollar Beechcraft surveillance aircraft. The Anuradhapura Base acts as one of the main bases in forward operations for military activities in the North. This base is located about four kilometers away from the Sacred City of Anuradhapura on the banks of the scenic ‘Nuwarawewa’. In an environment of peace, the airfield and associated infrastructure at SLAF Anuradhapura plays a significant role in facilitating the passage of air traffic in this region.
