Anti-submarine plane
TU-142
Tu-142M
The Tu-142M is a long-range anti-submarine / reconnaissance
aircraft designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau and manufactured
by the Kuibyshev Aviation and Taganrog Machinery plants. The
aircraft is developed to provide improved naval combat
capabilities. It can be deployed primarily in anti-submarine
warfare (ASW) operations, maritime reconnaissance and low-range
patrol runs.
The aircraft is equipped with a set of anti-submarine weapons to
protect territorial waters from potential enemy submarines. The
aircraft have been in service with the Indian Navy's 312nd
squadron (INAS 312) since 1988 and are deployed in
anti-submarine warfare and patrol missions across the Indian
Ocean.
Tu-142M orders and deliveries
Tupolev Design Bureau received an executive order to design and
develop the Tu-142 aircraft, which is based on the long-range
Tu-95 turboprop strategic bomber. The prototype aircraft was
built at Kuibyshev Aviation Plant and made its first flight in
June 1968. The first aircraft entered trail operation with the
Soviet Naval Aviation in May 1970 and was officially
commissioned into service in December 1972.
"The aircraft is equipped with a set of anti-submarine weapons
to protect territorial waters from potential enemy submarines."
The first modernised Tu-142M aircraft equipped with advanced
avionics performed its maiden flight in 1985. Eight Tu-142Ms
(IN-311 to IN-318) in export version (Tu-142ME) were built
between 1987 and 1988 at the Taganrog Aviation Plant (now TAVIA)
for the Indian Navy. The aircraft were commissioned in 1988.
In 2006 and 2007, two of the Tu-142M aircraft operated by the
Indian Navy were upgraded by TAVIA, a division of Beriev
Aircraft Company. Two more aircraft were retrofitted in July
2010.
The Indian Navy received seventh modernised Tu-142ME (IN 317)
aircraft in August 2014.
Tu-142M design and features
The Tu-142M anti-submarine aircraft features monoplane, mid-wing
design. It is fitted with a single-fin tail and tricycle landing
gear with controlled front wheels. It features a monocoque
fuselage, which has a length of 46.4m and a maximum diameter of
2.9m.
The fuselage incorporates a set of longitudinal stringers,
cross-set of frames with stressed skin. Two cargo compartments
are located at the lower part of the fuselage. The tail section
is fitted with a rear cannon mounting. The nose cone section is
installed with an in-flight refuelling system. A hatch is
located in the niche of the front leg to facilitate emergency
access.
The aircraft is roughly 49.5m in overall length, 12.12m high and
has wing span of approximately 50m. It has a maximum takeoff
weight of 185,000kg and is operated by a crew of 11, including
flight crew and navigators / observers.
The aircraft is armed with a variety of defensive weapons such
as Kh-35 anti-ship missile, self-guided missiles, twin AM-23
automatic cannon, depth charges and torpedoes.
Sensors on-board Tu-142M
The Tu-142M anti-submarine aircraft is equipped with DRDO HOMI
airborne electronic support measures system to identify, locate
and detect enemy targets. It incorporates Korshun-K integrated
automatic search and targeting system and MMS-106 Ladoga
magnetometer to detect nuclear-powered submarines.
The aircraft is also fitted with a Strela onboard communication
system, a NPK-142M navigation system, a Sayany onboard defence
system and a Nerchinsk hydrological defence system. The
sonobuoys incorporated in the aircraft include RGB-15, RGB-25
and RGB-55A.
Engines and performance
The Tu-142M anti-submarine aircraft is powered by four NK-12M
turboprop engines designed by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Each
engine develops a power output of 15,000shp. The propulsion
system also consists of four coaxial eight-bladed
reversible-pitch propellers. The aircraft has a fuel capacity of
87,000kg.
The operational speed of the aircraft is 442mph, while the
maximum speed is 574.76mph at high altitudes. The operating
range of 3,977mi and the maximum range is 7,953.55mi. The
service ceiling of the aircraft is 39,000ft.
The plane also has a MAD detector under the nose, with a seven
meter boom. The payloads of this aircraft can include sonobuoys,
torpedoes, depth charges, anti ship missiles, and drop bombs
with a payload of 20,000 pounds.

Troop Transportation Truck
The Mack Granite Troop Carrier is a rugged and reliable truck.
It features a fuel-efficient, 13-liter Mack MP8 engine that
delivers plenty of horsepower (400 HP), plus great low-end
torque (up to 1,460 lb.-ft.) to provide you with the muscle and
the endurance needed to support your operations. It is built on
the proven Mack Cornerstone chassis that delivers rock-solid
performance. Its galvanized steel cab mounted on airbags and
shocks and stabilized with sway bars soaks up the rough road for
a smooth ride.
The Granite Troop Carrier is highly adaptable. The chassis is
available in 14 configurations, each built with
application-specifi c crossmembers, and it offers three frame
rail thicknesses (8, 9.5 and 11.1 mm) with optional full or
partial 5 mm inside channel reinforcements. Its body has seating
for up to 42 in carrier (12 on each side, 18 in middle) and the
seats fold up or can be removed. It has a steel tread plate fl
oor with six D-ring tie downs, and the body doubles as a
flatbed, with the capacity to hold ISO containers. It features
durable roof supports and a single color tarp with 4 windows per
side. Available in single rear-axle configuration with reduced
troop carrying capacities (4×2 and 4×4).
Customized options are available to meet mission requirements.
