Meet T-14 Armata Tanks: Gamechanger battle weapon offered by Russia to India but there is a twist...., it is capable of... As India continues to grow as a strong global power, it needs a modern and high-tech army that is ready for any kind of threat or battle. The Indian Army has always been brave and powerful, but now it wants to replace its old tanks with new ones that can deal with today's dangers like battles in the mountains and attacks from drones. To help with this, Russia has offered to team up with India to make a special version of its T-14 Armata tank which is one of the most advanced tanks in the world. But the plan isn't just to buy these tanks. The goal is to build them here in India, using local factories and talent. T-14 Armata tank features The T-14 Armata tank is designed to work with Artificial Intelligence (AI) so it can watch the battlefield, spot danger, and even respond to threats quickly, all on its own. This makes it perfect for modern wars, where smart weapons and drones are used a lot. One of the most unique things about this tank is its unmanned turret, which means no one sits in the rotating gun part. Instead, the three crew members sit safely inside a heavily protected cabin in the main body of the tank. This new design keeps the soldiers away from danger and makes the tank much safer than many older tanks that India currently uses. The T-14 weighs 55 tons and can work even in extremely cold places, down to -50 degree celsius which makes it ideal for India's difficult border areas like Ladakh, Siachen, and Arunachal Pradesh, where temperatures get very low and terrain is tough. The T-14 tank comes with a powerful 125mm gun that can fire regular shells as well as laser-guided missiles. This means it can accurately hit enemy tanks, bunkers, and even drones. Russia believes the T-14 is a strong choice for India's Future Ready Combat Vehicle (FRCV) program, which is looking to replace the old T-72 tanks that have been used for decades. Since India's own Arjun tank hasn't been brought into the Army in large numbers, the T-14 might be a better, more advanced option. This tank also comes with special tools to watch and scan the battlefield, which would help India deal better with modern threats like suicide drones and smart bombs. Russia to build T-14 tank together with India This project might include DRDO's Combat Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), which already works on military vehicles. India already puts together Russian T-90 tanks in its own factories, so making a special Indian version of the T-14 is possible. It could even use an Indian-made engine called the DATRAN-1500HP. But there are some challenges. Since Russia is facing global tension, especially with Western countries, any deal with Moscow could bring diplomatic issues. For example, the United States has warned India before, even threatening tariffs, because of India's strong energy and defense ties with Russia. Also, more than 80 per cent of the parts used in India's current T-90 tanks still come from Russia. So, India is still quite dependent on Russian supplies. On top of that, other countries like the U.S., France, Germany, and Italy are also offering their own tanks for India's FRCV program.

Gen Dwivedi launches apps to pay tributes to Kargil martyrs
Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi on Saturday launched three projects, including a portal where people can pay 'e-shradhanjali' to martyrs, as part of the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas . The others were a QR code-based audio gateway, on which people can listen to the stories of the 1999 Kargil war battles fought, and the Indus Viewpoint, which offers people a chance to go up to the Line of Control (LoC) in the Batalik sector . Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed on July 26 every year. On this day in 1999, the Indian Army announced the successful culmination of Operation Vijay, declaring victory after a nearly three-month battle on the icy heights of Kargil, including such super-high-altitude locations as Tololing and Tiger Hill. "The citizens can now pay e-shradhanjali to the heroes who made the supreme sacrifice for the country without visiting the memorial," an army officer said. Live Events The project is aimed at sensitising people about the sacrifices made by the armed forces and the hardships they faced while discharging their duties, he said. The other project launched was a QR code application, where people can listen to stories about the various battles that were waged to fight off Pakistani intruders in 1999. "The concept is similar to museums, where the visitors can listen to the details of the exhibits using earphones. Here, people will get to listen to the saga of courage, valour, bravery and sacrifice by the soldiers," the officer said. Indus Viewpoint, another project launched, will allow visitors to go up to the LoC in the Batalik sector. "This will give an idea to the visitors about the conditions in which soldiers serve, the difficulties and constant dangers they face on a day-to-day basis to ensure that the nation remains safe," the officer said. Batalik was one of the main battlegrounds during the Kargil war. Located at an altitude of over 10,000 feet, Batalik was the focal point of the Kargil war due to its strategic location between Kargil, Leh, and Baltistan. The small village in the Indus River valley has now become a major tourist attraction.
