¿Cómo hacen los indios para hacer caer un (nuevo) Hercules?
C-130J Crashes, 5 Killed
In a shocking loss for the air force, one of its most modern special operations C-130 J aircraft crashed Friday during a low-level, tactical training mission, killing all five crew and destroying the plane.
The aircraft, inducted in 2010, was commanded by Wing Commander Prashant Joshi, an experienced pilot and the second-in-command of the 77 Veiled Vipers squadron. It had three other pilots on board, including one who was undergoing training.
Sources said the C-130 J was part of a two aircraft formation that had taken off from Agra and was to carry out low-level flying training before returning to base. Official and eyewitness accounts said the aircraft apparently grazed a hillock before crashing in a riverbed site 116 km west of Gwalior on the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border.
The aircraft, numbered KC 3803, was the number two of the formation and was carrying out a tactical flying training mission. The loss of the aircraft was ascertained by the lead aircraft and rescue choppers were sent from Gwalior, an air force officer told The Indian Express.
What has come as a surprise is that the aircraft was believed to be in good technical condition and did not give out any distress signal before going down. The crash was sudden and there was no indication from the crew that anything was wrong, the officer said.
While a court of inquiry that has been ordered will rely on flight data information from its black box as well as the account of the lead aircraft of the formation, the investigation is expected to focus on a controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) situation or a sudden loss of control due to a technical or human error, among others.
Accounts from the ground said the aircraft was observed to be flying low and hitting a small hillock before disintegrating and catching fire on a river bed. Local villagers were the first to reach the site and recovered the bodies of the crew who were thrown out of the aircraft after it disintegrated on impact.
The crew has been identified by the air force as Wing Commander Prashant Joshi (Pilot), Wing Commander Raji Nair (Co-pilot), Squadron Leader Kaushik Mishra (Pilot undergoing training), Squadron Leader Ashish Yadav (Navigator) and Warrant Officer KP Singh (Systems Operator).

Putin le permite adquirir el segundo mejor SAM del mundo a China
Putin approved the sale of S-400 to China
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to the sale of anti-aircraft missile systems S-400 to China, the newspaper "Kommersant", citing a source close to the Kremlin. At the same time director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Alexander Fomin confirmed that negotiations for the supply complexes China are ongoing. The decision to sell the complexes was made in early 2014.
Ongoing negotiations with China related to the number of complexes and their cost. However, even if a firm contract will be signed in the near future, get new C-400 Beijing could not before 2016. Earlier delivery of arms to China is impossible because first to be held most of the delivery of S-400, ordered by the Ministry of Defense of Russia under the current state armaments program.
The parties are currently discussing the possibility of delivery to China from two to four battalions of S-400, the structure of each of which consists of eight launchers. Thus the customer insists on getting complete information about performance characteristics of aircraft missile systems. Through the acquisition of S-400 China can control the air space not only over its own territory, but also over Taiwan and Japanese Senkaku Islands.
Negotiations with China on the delivery of anti-aircraft missile systems S-400 conducted over the past three years. In 2012 it became known that Moscow may sell Beijing new complexes, but only after the export version will be developed by the system. Furthermore, prolonged negotiations can be connected and systematic copying of China Russian arms and military equipment. In particular, for this reason were frozen negotiations on supplying Beijing Su-35s.
Over the past few years, China is actively interested in the purchase of Russian anti-aircraft missiles. In 2007, the country signed a contract to supply 15 battalions of S-300PMU-2 and four management systems 83M6E2. Delivery of these systems was completed in April 2010. Complexes were a part of the air defense systems in Beijing, Shanghai and several other major Chinese cities.

La corrupción del gobierno argentino deja en el suelo a los entrenadores Grob
No están volando el Grob del Fuerza Aérea Argentina
Los nuevos entrenadores Grob G120TP operadas por Argentina desde 2013 son actualmente incapaces de volar. En operación intermedia por el Ministerio de Defensa, la Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) había adquirieron diez entrenadores Grob G120TP (Foto: Juan Carlos Cicalesi), que luego fueron arrendados de nuevo a la Fuerza Aérea Argentina (FAA) para su uso en el Curso Básico Conjunto de Aviador Militar (CBCAM) por la Escuela de Aviación militar (EAM). El avión comenzó a volar en Argentina en julio de 2013, pero por la interrupción de los pagos debidos por el gobierno argentino, cuatro aviones no fueron entregados. Uno de ellos se estrelló a los tres restantes están fuera de servicio, por incumplimiento de las actividades de mantenimiento previstas de sus manuales técnicos después de llegar a las 300 horas de vuelo. La falta de piezas de repuesto es causado por el retraso de los pagos por FAdeA. (Juan Carlos Cicalesi)

Video: El secuestro de un activista tártaro en Crimea que luego fue asesinado
Imágenes muestran que paramilitares pro-rusos lo detienen frente al Consejo de Ministros
Las cámaras del Canal ATR lograron captar el preciso momento en que Reşat Ametov, un activista tártaro de Crimea, era detenido el 3 de marzo por paramilitares pro-rusos frente al edificio del Consejo de Ministros en Simferopol y conducido a un vehículo civil, que partió con destino desconocido. La desaparición de Ametov terminaría 13 días después, con el hallazgo de su cadáver con señales evidentes de tortura.
De acuerdo con familiares y amigos, Ametov se encontraba realizando una protesta de pie en protesta silenciosa frente a los militares rusos y a miembros de las autodefensas que custodiaban el edificio gubernamental crimeo.
En el siguiente video, difundido por Censor.net, se puede observar al fondo, en el centro de la imagen, a un grupo de personas que se lleva a un individuo (a partir del minuto 0:30). Otra cámara pudo tomar más de cerca cuando Ametov era introducido a la fuerza por tres hombres- dos de ellos con chaquetas militares- en el automóvil.
El 16 de marzo, la policía local en la ciudad de Belogorsk, a 45 kilómetros al este de Simferopol, informó a Teifuk Gafarov, abogado del Mejlis , el órgano de representación de los tártaros de Crimea, que los pobladores locales habían encontrado el cuerpo de un hombre en un bosque cercano.
Al día siguiente, los familiares de Ametov reconocieron su cuerpo. Los medios locales indicaron que el cuerpo presentaba marcas de tortura y que había cinta transparente envuelta alrededor de la cabeza y las manos de la víctima.
Sus restos fueron sepultados en Simferopol el 18 de marzo, sin que hasta ahora se haya podido determinar dónde permaneció detenido y quienes son los responsables de su tortura y muerte.
Nuevas Ford Ranger para la ARA
La Armada Argentina renueva su parque automotor
(Infodefensa.com) Montevideo– En el Estado Mayor de la Armada Argentina, se recibió la primera partida de 25 camionetas tipo pickup up cuatro puertas, marca Ford, modelo Ranger, siendo este el comienzo del Proyecto de Renovación del Parque Automotor de la Armada. La recepción estuvo a cargo del Director de Tracción Terrestre de la Armada, capitán de navío Arturo Martinez Cordeyro.
El proyecto comprende la adquisición de 240 vehículos terrestres para reemplazar la flota actual, con la meta de terminar la renovación en los próximos cuatro años.
Estas nuevas unidades serán distribuidas según lo dicte la Dirección General de Material Naval, organismo que ha elaborado un plan de prioridades para asignar los vehículos a las bases y unidades que más lo necesitan, permitiendo así que estas recuperen capacidades que, o bien se habían perdido, o estaban menguadas dada la antigüedad del parque vehicular con el que cuenta la fuerza de mar.
