  On February 20th, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially revealed the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile.It has been in development since 2011. This comes at a time when tensions between the U.S & Russia has increased many folds due to the U.S decision to withdraw from the INF Treaty blaming Russia for non-compliance. Please refer to the video on the above card to know the details of the INF Treaty or Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Russia One TV channel has now listed possible U.S assets that could be targeted by Zircon. Let's get into the details. As per President Putin’s address in the Russian Federal Assembly, the Zircon is capable of reaching speeds of Mach 9. So it is much faster than a bullet fired from a sniper rifle, actually almost 3 times the speed of a sniper’s bullet. The kinetic energy alone will rip a ship apart like a tin can. Mr. Putin stated that the missile has a range of over 1000 km (620 miles). It is interesting to note that the speed, as we

  Indian Navy secretly commissioned a huge high-tech surveillance ship. The vessel formerly only known by the code designation VC-11184 is now designated INS Dhruv. With this, India has joined the elite club of nations that has this kind of ship - till now the United States, France, Russia, and China — possessed such ship.According to the reports, the ship would be  operated by India’s technical intelligence agency  NTRO (National Technical Research Organization),   the DRDO (Defense Research and evelopment Organization), and the Indian Navy.The involvement of NTRO, which is a top-tier intelligence-gathering organization indicates that INS Druv has clandestine roles to play. INS Dhruv was was laid down June 2014 under a covered drydock in Visakhapatnam by government-owned Hindustan Shipyards Limited. It is thought to be delivered in 2018 and   completed sea trials the year after. The ship has length of 175 meters which is almost as long as two football fields and has a displacement of

  the ohio-class boats are the largest submarines ever built for the u.s navy which carry upwards of half of the united states nuclear arsenal on board if you do the math the ohio-class boats may be the most destructive weapon systems created by humankind each of the 170 meter long vessels can carry 24 trident 2 submarine-launched ballistic missiles slpms which can be fired from underwater to strike at targets more than  7 000 miles away depending on the load as a trident 2 re-enters the atmosphere at speeds of up to mach 24 it splits up into 8 independent re-entry vehicles each with a 100 or 475 kiloton nuclear warhead in short a full salvo from an ohio-class submarine which can be launched in less than one minute could unleash up to 192 nuclear warheads to wipe 24 cities off the map this is a nightmarish weapon of the apocalypse

  Russian S 400 air defense system has created a lot of buzz. This is probably the first time an Air Defense System has garnered so much attention andis being touted as a game changer.The system’s Anti Access Area Denial (A2AD) capabilities are potent.S 400 can be configured with different types of radars depending on threat environment.The primary radar has a range of around 600 km and is supplemented by many types of target acquisition radars some of which are thought to be capable of detecting even 5th generation stealth aircraft. S 400 can track hundreds of target at a time, engage up to 36 targets at a given moment and simultaneously launch 72 missiles. It deploys different types of missile depending on the threat and can take out targets at a distance of up to 400 km. The system is so sophisticated, that it can engage targets that are traveling at up to a speed of Mach 14. America manufactures several Air Defense Systems. The American Patriot Missile System is manufactured by Ray

  Israeli SAM or GTAM DAVID DAVID SLING, also formerly known as Magic Wand, is an Israeli defense military  system developed jointly by Israeli defense contractor  Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and US defense contractor Raytheon, designed to intercept enemy aircraft, unmanned  aerial vehicles, tactical ballistic missiles, medium and long range missiles and cruise  missiles launched at ranges from 40 km (24.85 miles) to 300 km (186.41 miles). David’s sling is intended to replace the MIM-23  Hawk and MIM-104 Patriot in the Israeli arsenal.The Sturmer missile is designed to intercept a new generation of low-altitude  tactical ballistic missiles, such as the Russian Iskander and the Chinese  DF-15 using onboard dual CCD / IR shelters,to distinguish between the bait  and the actual missile warhead, in addition to tracking by Elta EL / M-2084 Active electronically scanning  an array of multi-mode radar. A multi-stage interceptor consists of  a solid fuel booster rocket engine, followed by

  India has commissioned the INS Visakhapatnam, the lead ship of the Visakhapatnam-class destroyer. The Visakhapatnam-class destroyers, or P-15 Bravo-class, or simply P-15B is a class of guided-missile destroyers currently being built for the Indian Navy. The P-15B destroyers are modified versions of the earlier Kolkata-class destroyers (P-15A). The class consists of four vessels – Visakhapatnam, Mormugao, Imphal and Surat, all four are being built by Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL). Noted for being the largest-ever destroyers built by India, the P-15B class features substantial improvements in design, technology and stealth, over the P-15A class.  The Visakhapatnam-class was designed by the Directorate of Naval Design, the Indian Navy’s premier organization for designing warships. The P-15B retains a significant amount of its hull design, propulsion systems, sensors and ordnance from its predecessor, the Kolkata-class (P-15A), to benefit from serial production. However, the P-15B features

  India has joined the select group of countries to have designed and built their aircraft carriers. India's first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant has successfully completed a five-day maiden sea voyage. The Indian Navy said that the system parameters proved satisfactory during the trials. The ship's performance, including hull, main propulsion, Power Generation and Distribution (PGD) and auxiliary equipment were tested during the exercise. This is a major boost for the Indian Navy and 'Make in India' initiative. The carrier is expected to undergo a series of sea trials prior to its delivery to the Indian Navy in 2022.INS Vikrant is 262 metres (860 ft) long and 62 metres (203 ft) wide, and displaces about 45,000 metric tons . Vikrant is comparable in dimensions to the Indian Navy’s current aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, a completely upgraded Kiev class warship.  Vikrant is powered by four General Electric LM2500+ gas turbines on two shafts, generating over

  H ave you ever noticed people wearing dissimilar clothing color performing different tasks at an aircraft carrier flight deck? their tasks might range from signaling and fueling airplanes, to managing catapults and wires. All crew members work hard to ensure the success of each aircraft’s landing and taking off. Though it seems like a normal daily task anybody has, working at the aircraft carrier is known to be one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet. The minefield of severe accidents and mishaps, rigorous training must be undergone by the deck crews in order to equip themselves to work in such hazardous environment. But then, have you ever wondered how dangerous it is it to work at the aircraft carrier deck? Perhaps the busiest deck in the world, the flight deck of an aircraft carrier has been widely known as the world's most dangerous workplace. Aircrafts take off, land, and taxi in the limited space of the flight deck, while ordinance ceaselessly moved around. All sort of
