These last days you have indicated a particular interest in these three land force topics
0:14
Euroviser will supply up to 700 VAMTAC tactical vehicles to the Spanish armed forces
0:21
The Belgian army will buy 40mm grenades and armored SUVs for its special forces
0:27
And last, the deployment of Indian soldiers and combat vehicles in Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir
0:35
The Spanish Ministry of Defense and the Gallusin Company Roviza have signed a framework contract for the supply of up to 700 VAMTAC, high tactical mobility vehicles to the army, the Air Force, the Navy and Common Structures for the amount of 146.3 million euro
0:51
The duration of the contract is four years, with the option for an extension for another two additional years
0:57
The contract specifications include the acquisition of 663 vehicles, although it's clear it is an approximate figure
1:06
In any case, the final number will be between 600 and 700 units, depending on the needs of each year and budget availability
1:14
Three main variants will be manufactured, high tactical mobility, high protection and amphibious without preparation
1:20
Each one has different configurations. For example, the high tactical mobility variant includes personal care versions
1:27
troops, transport and command post, closed van, transmissions and ambulance, general cargo, containers and weapon system platform carriers for spike, tow, mistral missiles
1:39
Water tank, firefighting, fuel tank and crane are possible. Utterior configurations. On the 17th of July, the Belgian Council of Ministers gave its agreement to the launch of several
1:50
public contracts for the defense, one of which concerns the purchase of war and exercise
1:54
ammunition for the 40mm automatic running launcher which arms Jankul-Fox rapid reaction vehicles
2:01
and Unimog Jackams of the Special Forces Group. These are 14mm high-velocity, high-exclusive
2:07
tracers and 40-millimeter high-velocity target practice tracer munitions. Another purchase concerns the first batch of armored SUVs intended to equip both the Special Forces Group
2:18
and the Military Intelligence Service. The deployment of Indian soldiers and combat vehicles in Ladakhs
2:24
and Jammu and Kashmir is a response to the deployment of Chinese army with artillery tanks and
2:30
troops along the border with India. The recent skirmishes are part of an ongoing military
2:35
standoff between China and India. Since the 5th of May 2020, Chinese and Indian troops have reportedly
2:41
engaged in aggressive melee face and skirmishes at locations along the Sino border hence a large deployment of Indian troops with T90 S tanks and BMP2 Sarat infantry fighting vehicles This week you expressed a particular interest in the following topics for the naval sector
3:01
First, Russian Navy, second diesel-electric submarine Volkov, wrapped up shipbuilders' trials. Second, Lockheed Martin began construction of future Navy's literal combat ship USS Beloit
3:12
And last, Royal Australian Navy will get second of the United. of 6K class patrol boats
3:19
The second out of six projects, 636.3 submarines, ordered for Russia's Pacific Fleet
3:24
completed shipbuilder sea trials. The shipbuilder sea trials of the submarine Volkov
3:30
that was floated out in December 2019 were held from the 18th of June to the 31st of July
3:38
Over this period, the shipbuilder checked the sub-sonar, radar, communication, and life support systems and other equipment
3:45
The Volkov successfully accomplished its planned submergencies. All the systems and mechanisms operate it in the normal mode
3:55
and in compliance with the stated operational characteristics. The Admiralty Shipyard will soon begin preparing the submarine for state trials
4:04
that are scheduled for mid-August. Following the state trial, the sub will be delivered to the Russian Navy
4:11
Project 636 submarines are considered among the world's most noiseless underwater cruisers
4:18
They can develop a speed of up to 20 knots, have their sea endurance of 40 days
4:24
and a crew of 52 men. Lockheed Martin and FinCantieri Marinette Marine
4:30
marked the beginning of construction on literal combat ship, LCS-29, the future USS Beloit
4:37
with a ceremony in Marinette. As part of shipbuilding tradition dating back to centuries
4:43
a shipyard worker welded into a shipyard, the ship's keel plate, the initial of Major General Marcia M. Anderson, USS Beloit ship sponsor
4:53
and a Beloit's Viscontas native. This plate will be affixed to the ship and travel with
4:59
Beloit throughout its commission life. LCS 29 will be the 15th Freedom Variants
5:06
LCS and will join a class of more than 30 ships. To date, four Freedom Variants, LCS have deployed to support
5:15
US Navy presence and peacekeeping missions. In May, LCS 7, USS Detroit partnered with US Navy Destroyer and Coast Guard teams to serve
5:25
interdiction missions in the US Southern Command Area of Responsibility. The ship delivers advanced capability in anti-submarine, surface and mine counter-measure missions
5:37
and was designed to evolve with the changing security environment The Council Limited is pleased to announce that Australia defence industry minister officially cut metal on the second of six new Cape class patrol boats
5:50
to be constructed by Austell Australia. Based on hostels proven 58-meter aluminium monohulled patrol boat design
5:59
the new Royal Australian Navy Capes include a number of enhancement that further extend the capability of the vessel and the fleet
6:07
Crew accommodation has been increased by 10 people, to now total 38 and quality of life provisions have been enhanced
6:17
Delivery of the first of six capes, Earl 811, is scheduled in September 2021, with subsequent deliveries of remaining vessels through the mid-2020
6:29
Among the numerous pieces of news published on air recognition these last days, let's speak three of them
6:35
Indonesia offers to buy all 15 Austrian typhoon fighters. Second, the US Air Force will receive the 8 F-35A stealth fighters manufactured for the Turkish Air Force
6:48
And last, seven companies have signed agreements to boost opportunity to work on future combat air concepts
6:54
and underpinning technologies across the team tempests. After initial clearance from the US State Department to buy Bell Boeing MV-22 Osprey Tiltroa aircraft
7:05
News broke that Indonesian Defence Minister Prabhu Subianto intended to buy typhoon fighters from Austria
7:13
Prabhu sent a letter to his Austrian counterpart, Claudia Tanner, offering to buy the country's 15 eurofighter typhoon fighters that Austria bought in 2002 for 2 billion euro or 2.28 billion dollars
7:29
The Austrian Defence Ministry, however, declined to command on the offer. Selling typhoons to Indonesia would be complicated as it would need approval from the four European user countries
7:40
a difficulty that can be overcome, though. The consortium already offered to move an assembly line from Spain to Bandung
7:47
should Indonesia decide to actually buy the typhoons. Austrians are from Tranche 1, a marker for basic operational capabilities
7:55
which focuses more on air defense missions, while the consortium has offered upgrades to Tarns 2 and 3
8:02
which greatly improves the fighters' ground attack capabilities. The 8 Locken Martin F-35A Lightning 2's originally intended for Turkey
8:11
would be bought by the United States for $862 million, according to the press service of the Pentagon
8:18
The U.S. Department of Defense stated the acquisition of the 8 F-35s already manufactured for Turkey
8:24
among the 100 ordered is implemented as part of a modification of the contract already signed with Locken Martin The manufacture will make the necessary changes to adapt these aircraft to the U Air Force requirements In February 2019 NATO asked Belgium
8:39
to buy an extra 14 F-35 fighter jets on top of the 34 units ordered, in view of carrying
8:45
a larger number of missions, but Belgian defense minister, Philip Gauphin, replied that no
8:51
budget for additional aircraft was available, and there won't be. A strange NATO dream
8:56
definitely. And a few months ago, there was a proper made to the Belgian Ministry of Defence to buy the eight Turkish F-35 A is already manufactured
9:04
The Belgian kindly declined this uninteresting proposal, as their F-35A's will be delivered in the more modern block four configuration
9:13
Seven companies representing the breadth of innovation across the United Kingdom have signed agreements to boost opportunities to work on future combat air concepts
9:22
and underpinning technologies across team tempests. The announcement represent a significant step forward by bringing additional expertise into the Team Tempest project
9:33
The companies involved include Taless in the UK, Bombardier Belfast, Collins Aerospace, GEAviation UK, GKN Aerospace, Martin Baker and Kinetic
9:45
This is the first phase of organisation to sign such agreements with more to be announced
9:51
As a reminder, Team Tempest is a collaboration between BAE systems, Leonardo UK, MBD
9:56
the A.U.K. Rolls-Woers and the British Ministry of Defense working together to develop
10:01
game-changing technologies at pace and in an affordable manner. At the opening of Farnborough
10:07
on the 20th of July, British Secretary of State for Defense Ben Wallace spoke of the changing
10:13
face of air power. The armed forces and industry must embrace new and emerging technologies
10:19
to counter-disruptive capabilities and adversaries. He said the British armed forces can no
10:25
longer rely on one type of aircraft that can only do one thing. The focus must be on
10:31
future combat air systems with a virtual brain which can embrace artificial intelligence
10:37
deep learning, sensors and communications technology. Well, keep in mind that defense
