Indian Navy has been offered Tupolev 22 M3/MR strategic strike platforms to replace their ageing Tu 142 "Bear" and Ilyushin 38 aircrafts.Detailed analysis shows that Russian Tu 160 (NATO:Black Jack)offers several advantages over the offered aircraft and may be available as Navy's requirement is small and Tu 160 production has started and additional funds are welcomed .The Russians on their part have never been hesitant to transfer strategic platforms to India (except the sell of cryogenic engines used to manufacture engines of GSLVs and also in Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles; and the sell of long ranged cruise missiles since Russia is a signatory of MTCR,which restricts the sell of long ranged missiles above 300 kms)
India acquired a strategic manned airborne dimension with the entry of Tu 142 Bear F long ranged maritime patrol / antisubmarine warfare aircraft in 1988. It is fitted with state of art Korshun-k automatic search and sighting systems and MMS 106 Ladoga magnetometer to detect stealthy nuclear powered submarines.
Tu 22 M3 is a strategic bombing / maritime strike platforms and Tu 22 MR is a reconnaissance oriented platform.
Also the Tu 160 is presently the supersonic strategic bomber with a range of 14000 kms..

india's defence
I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR MOTHERLAND...INDIA LACKS PROPER STRATEGY IN DEFENSE...TODAY I M POSTING THIS BLOG SHOWING MY CONCERNS...
1)ON ONE SIDE WE'RE MOVING CLOSER TOWARDS WEST STRATEGICALLY AND ON THE OTHER HAND WE ARE NOT OPTING THOSE FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGIES OF RUSSIA.IN MY VIEW OPTING HAWK TRAINERS FROM U.K IS NOT AT ALL A GOOD CHOICE RATHER WE MUST HAVE OPTED YAK 130 FROM RUSSIA WHICH IS MORE TECHNICALLY ADVANCED (SPEED,COST & RANGE) THAN THE FORMER.
2)THE SELECTION OF GE F-414 ENGINES OF USA FOR LCA MARK2 AIRCRAFT .INSTEAD OF EUROJET EJ-200 WHICH IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THE FORMER WITH A BETTER PRICE.ALSO THE EJ 200 COMES IN THRUST VECTORING ENGINES BUT THE FORMER DOESN'T.ALSO THERE IS CONCERN OVER THAT USA HAS A RECORD THAT IT NEVER SHARE ITS KEY TECHNOLOGIES WHERE AS THE EUROPEANS WERE READY TO TRANSFER THE COMPLETE TECHNOLOGY OF THE ENGINES.
3)THE BHIM HOWITZER MADE JOINTLY BY DRDO AND DENEL OF SOUTH AFRICA CAME TO A BLOCK WHEN DENEL WAS FOUND TO BE INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION CHARGES....BUT THE WONDERFUL PROJECT WAS STOPPED .THE RECENT REPORTS ARE THAT DRDO WILL TRY ITS HAND IN MAKING HOWITZERS....
4)THE FAILURE OF CRYOGENIC ENGINE
5)LACK OF VTOL AIRCRAFTS..WE ARE LOOKING FOR MULTI ROLE FIGHTER AIRCRAFTS BUT NOT OF VTOL AIRCRAFTS....WE SHOULD COOPERATE WITH RUSSIA TO MAKE A SIMILAR AIRCRAFT LIKE YAK 141..THE RECENT TECHNOLOGY OF F-35JSF IS FROM YAK 141...THE DISINTEGRATION OF USSR AND LACK OF FUNDS RESULTED IN BLOCKAGE OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THIS PROJECT .. BUT NOW IF WE WILL INVEST IN THIS TECHNOLOGY WITH A FRESH DIMENSION THEN IT WILL BE A POSITIVE THING FOR INDIA SINCE IT WILL MAKE US CAPABLE OF MAKING VTOL AIRCRAFTS WITH SUPERSONIC SPEEDS..
6)WILL THE 85 MW MINIATURE NUCLEAR REACTOR BE CAPABLE OF DRAWING A 6000 TONNES NUCLEAR SUBMARINE ARIHANT... BECAUSE EVERY SLBM , SSN,AND SSGN OF 21ST CENTURY NEEDS A REACTOR OF MORE THAN 12O MW ....
