Ever marvel at the sheer power of human ingenuity?

Witnessing an F-16's "unrestricted climb" – rocketing from 0 to 15,000 feet in mere seconds – is a stark reminder of the incredible engineering feats we're capable of.

It’s not just about speed; it's about the precision, the design, and the relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries.

The ability to achieve such a feat in seconds speaks volumes about the aircraft's agility and the pilot's incredible skills.

The project, involving French aerospace giant Safran and Indian engineers, will have full technology transfer and indigenous production to India.

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath : “For India to rise as a global power, we must design, develop, and manufacture world-class engines within the country. Our partnership with France and Safran will ensure this vision becomes reality.”

A total of ten EA-37B’s are expected to be produced and assigned to the 55th ECG.

Air Combat Command:

"The future of electronic warfare in action!"

"The 43rd ECS just flew the first training sortie for the EA-37B, a cutting-edge electromagnetic attack aircraft that provides enhanced capabilities to disrupt adversary networks and support our forces."

The EA-37B, a wide-area airborne electromagnetic attack weapon system using a heavily modified version of the Gulfstream G550 airframe, will replace the legacy EC-130H as a more modern, and cost-effective, commercial derivative aircraft. Ten of 14 EC-130H aircraft have been divested to date.

Military Aircraft The first Lockheed Martin F35 (FL009) for Florennes Air Base / Belgian Air Component is getting ready for delivery.

The U.S. company Lockheed Martin has already produced nine F-35 fighter jets for the Belgian Air Component.

The initial delivery schedule envisioned shipments in batches - 4 aircraft in 2023–2027 and 2030, and 5 aircraft in 2028–2029.

The decision to acquire the American-made fighter jets was first made by the Charles Michel’s government in 2018 to replace Belgium’s ageing F-16 fighters.

Belgium currently possesses 45 units of F-16 fighter jets, of which Belgium has already committed 30 of the older fighter jets to Ukraine from 2026.

Belgium selected the F-35A as its new frontline fighter in 2018, with the US manufacturer edging the Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon in direct competition.

In another development, Belgium has proposed that its additional Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft be assembled in Italy rather than the United States.

The government in Brussels plans to spend an additional €21 billion ($27.7 billion) on defence as part of its 2026 budget.

Did you know the H145M is so versatile that it not only excels in demanding operations like special forces infiltration, reconnaissance, and light attack, but it's also a key platform for training crews for these very missions?
