The F-35 Fighter jet-Image for representational purpose In a major push towards Atmanirbharta (self-reliance), Defence Minister Rajnath Singh approved the Execution Model for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme recently. As per a report by IANS news agency, the AMCA clearance marks a critical step towards realising India's goal of joining an elite club of nations in designing and producing its own fleet of next-generation combat aircraft. India's answer to fifth-generation air power The AMCA, widely seen as India's answer to fifth-generation air power, will give a major boost to achieving 'atmanirbharata' in the defence sector and will become a hallmark of India's growing defence capabilities. Why India's AMCA will be special? Being the fifth-generation stealth multirole fighter equipped with cutting-edge technology, it will be suited for all-weather operation. Designed with low radar cross-section and supercruise capability, the AMCA is seen as the successor to the frontline Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets. (With inputs from agencies)

Has India cracked the ‘stealth code'? Chinese and Pakistani fighter jets are now…, Indian Air Force can…
The F-35 Fighter jet-Image for representational purpose Bad news for Pakistan: In a significant development and achievement for the Indian Armed Forces and the defence industry, the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully detected and identified a Royal Navy F‑35B, a cutting-edge stealth fighter. The detection was made as the F-35B aircraft made an emergency diversion near Thiruvananthapuram. The development is being seen by defence experts as a major breakthrough as Pakistan is also expected to buy Chinese J‑35A stealth jets based on similar stealth technology. British F-35 fighter jet emergency landing A British F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at the International Airport here last week after running low on fuel as per a report by PTI news agency. As a result of the emergency landing, the Airport authorities declared an emergency to ensure a smooth and safe landing. 'The pilot reported low fuel and asked for permission to land. Everything was handled quickly and professionally,' the report quoted sources as saying. The pilot later returned to the aircraft carrier aboard a helicopter, which also brought in a replacement to take over, the report added. Has India cracked the stealth code? The detection of the Royal Navy F‑35B is seen as milestone in low-observable aircraft detection as it was done using India's advanced radar systems. Experts also say that the achievement may be making breakthroughs in radar technology of India, potentially 'cracking the stealth code.' The development may raise a sense of panic for China and Pakistan as both of them have such stealth fighter jets. Indian Air Force reacts on British F-35B fighter jet landing The Indian Air Force (IAF) said it is 'fully aware' of it and facilitated the aircraft for flight safety reasons a day after a British F-35B fighter jet of the Royal Navy made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. The jet was operating from UK Aircraft Carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, and it was undertaking 'routine flying' outside Indian ADIZ (Air Defence Identification Zone), according to the IAF.

Tricare to Allow Patients in Tricare West Region to Receive Specialty Care Without Preapproval
The Defense Health Agency has suspended a requirement for Tricare Prime patients in the West Region to get pre-authorization from their Tricare contract manager for specialty care. Defense Department health program officials announced Monday that the beneficiaries still are required to get a referral before seeking specialty care, but pre-authorization from TriWest Healthcare Alliance, the company that manages the Tricare program in the western U.S., will not be required through March 31. The process is retroactive to Jan. 1. Read Next: Video Shows Air Force F-35 Fighter Exploding in Fireball at Eielson Base in Alaska The waiver announcement is directly tied to problems with TriWest's referral portal that have affected processing, said Jacob Sanchez, referral management subject-matter expert for Tricare at the DHA. "If you have Tricare Prime and are in the West Region, this waiver will allow you to access specialty services without interruption to your care," Sanchez said in an announcement of the change. TriWest was awarded the contract to manage the Tricare West Region in late 2022 and began efforts to assume the contract in earnest last February after a federal court ruled it had rightfully won its bid. Issues with the transition began to emerge in December when participating providers began voicing concerns that they had not received communications from TriWest on joining its network. Then, customers who were required to update their payment information with TriWest found themselves unable to do so because of troubles with TriWest's online portal and call center. Patients have written saying that they have experienced lost referrals; been referred to the wrong type of doctor -- for example, a brain surgeon when a spine surgeon was needed; and endured delayed or canceled referrals. "These are not just administrative failures -- they are directly impacting military readiness and the well-being of those who serve," wrote an Air Force airman. "This is a national problem affecting thousands of service members and their families, and yet it seems to be slipping under the radar." According to the waiver announcement, Tricare Prime enrollees may receive care from any Tricare-authorized specialist if they have a copy of an unexpired referral authorized by Humana Military or Health Net Federal Services before Jan. 1 or a referral dated Jan. 1 through March 31 from their primary care provider; and a copy of the waiver letter, which can be found on the Tricare West Region website. The announcement also allows Prime patients in the region to see both network and non-network providers, as long as they are authorized by Tricare. They can ask the providers directly whether they are Tricare-authorized. The waiver does not apply to: inpatient care; applied behavior analysis or other services under Tricare's Autism Care Demonstration; laboratory developed tests; or service under the Extended Care Health Option program. Those services still will require pre-authorization, according to the announcement. Tricare officials said that, beginning April 1, beneficiaries who see a non-network provider will start paying point-of-service fees, and they will be required to get preapproval from TriWest for any specialty care they were referred to by their primary care physician.
