1:51
all three crew members and 13 embarked marines. The ACV has an advanced 8x8 open ocean capable vehicle with motorised with the 6 cylinder
2:02
700 hp engine which provide a significant power increase over the current AAVs

armoured vehicle will be the next generation of tracked infantry fighting vehicles of the
2:21
Polish Army and could enter service by 2023 to replace the old BW P1s
2:28
The Borsuk was unveiled at MSPO 2017, the international defence exhibition held in Poland
2:35
On water, this amphibious AAV is propelled by water jets. The vehicle is fitted with a polished made unmanned turret armed with a 30mm Bushmaster

3:26
The winner was the company Glomax MS offering the Toyota Hilux. The vehicle will be militarised according to the needs and operational requirements
3:34
of the Czech Armed Forces. Here is what drew your main attention this last week on Navy-recognition.com
3:41
The S-80-plus submarine manufactured by the Spanish company Navantia is one of the candidates
3:46
for the Indian P-751 programme. South Korea has launched its second Chang'e Ward 3 batch 1 diesel-electric powered submarine
3:56
and the Bangladeshi Navy has inducted five new warships, two frigates, one corvette
4:03
and two survey ships. Navantia India presents its S-80-plus class submarine designed to respond to the Indian
4:11
P-751 programme launched by the Indian Ministry of Defence for the acquisition of six conventional
4:17
submarines with air-independent propulsion. India envisages the construction of six new generation attack submarines in India itself
4:25
at a cost of over US$6.3 billion. Navantia's experience in India as a submarine builder consists in six Scorpene-class units
4:36
This programme was developed along with the French naval group in the Mumbai-Syriam shipyard
4:41
The S-80-plus class or Isaac Beral class is a Spanish class of four submarines in production
4:47
by the Spanish company Navantia in its Cartagena shipyard for the Spanish Navy
4:54
The S-80's air-independent propulsion system is based on a bioethanol processor consisting
5:01
of a reaction chamber and several intermediate co-proxy reactors. The system transforms the bioethanol into high-purity hydrogen
5:11
The output feeds a series of fuel cells from UTC Power Company
5:16
The S-80-plus class submarines have a full load displacement of 3,200 tonnes, a total
5:22
length of 81 metres and a beam of 11.68 metres and a draw of 6.2 metres
5:30
With a cruising speed of 12 knots, the S-80-plus class submarines offer a range of 8,000 nautical miles
5:36
The submarine can accommodate 32 sailors plus eight troops. The S-80-plus class submarine is built with six tubes of 533-millimetre torpedoes and
5:48
harpoon missiles. South Korea has loaned the second 3,000-tonne class, Changbogo-3 batch 1 locally made diesel-electric
5:57
powered submarine. The new submarine, coded SS-085, has been christened Anmu. South Korea plans to build three submarines of this class by 2023
6:09
The project was launched in 2007 for a total amount of 2.77 billion US dollars
6:17
This submarine has a surface displacement of 3,358 tonnes and 3,750 tonnes in submerged conditions
6:27
It will be operated by 50 sailors. In December 2012, the South Korean Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to Daewoo Shipbuilding
6:37
and Marine Engineering for the construction of two gear 3 batch 1 submarines
6:43
The contract for the third submarine of batch 1 was awarded to Hyundai Heavy Industries
6:49
in November 2016. The Bangladeshi Navy has inducted five modern ships, two frigates, one corvette and two
6:57
hydrographic survey ships, during an official ceremony held on the 5th of November
7:03
Of these ships, two frigates and a corvette were procured from China, while the two modern
7:08
survey ships were built in a shipyard located in Bangladesh. BNS Umar Farooq and BNS Abu Libaydah are Type 053H3 Chinese frigates, coded YJ2 by NATO
7:24
that entered service with the Chinese Navy in the 1990s and 2000s

7:36
Chinese Navy in the East Sea Fleet. The ship was handed over to the Bangladeshi Navy on the 18th of December 2019
7:44
The three topics that drew your major attention in the field of air actuality is the United
7:51
States approved the sale of 50 F-35 stealth fighter aircraft to the United Arab Emirates
7:57
the Kazakhstan Air Force deploys new Sukhoi Su-30SM fighters from Karaganda Air Base
8:04
and Vietnam works on turning old MiG-21s into drones. The US State Department has approved the sale of 50 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning IIs
8:16
and related equipment to the United Arab Emirates for an estimated cost of 10.4 billion US dollars
8:24
This is the first foreign sale of F-35 in the Middle East, but the stealth fighter is
8:29
already in service with the Israeli Air Force. Today, the F-35 is already used or will enter service with Australia, Belgium, Denmark
8:41
Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Singapore, the United
8:48
Kingdom and, of course, the United States. Karaganda Air Base in Kazakhstan has received new Su-30SM fighter jets
8:59
These aircraft have been inducted from the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant since 2015
9:05
Kazakhstan has ordered 24 Su-30SM fighters. It received the first four fighters in April 2015
9:13
A second contract for eight aircraft was signed in December 2015. The first two aircraft of the second order were delivered in December 2016 and another
9:23
two in December 2017. The third order for 12 more aircraft was approved in August 2017 and eight aircraft
9:33
were ordered in May 2018. The last four aircraft of the second contract were delivered in December 2018
9:41
Notice that Kazakhstan had 12 Su-30SMs in service as of December 2018
9:49
After dueling against American pilots decades ago, the legendary MiG-21s of Vietnam War
9:55
and fame may fly again as unmanned aerial vehicles. With a lot of research still to be done, the Vietnamese Air Force won't induct MiG-21
10:06
UAVs anytime soon. So far, research has been carried out on how to have the drone automatically land properly
10:15
Converting these old Russian-made interceptors into drones could benefit the Vietnamese Air
10:20
Force by providing a target large enough to conduct air defense exercises with the
10:26
S-300 missiles. Such drones could also be used for attack purposes
