										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh stated on Saturday that the Force necessitates the acquisition of 36 to 40 new fighter jets each year to stop the decline in its squadron strength. This assertion was made during his annual press conference held prior to Air Force Day.</h4>
<h4>Singh indicated that this procurement would equate to the addition of approximately two new fighter squadrons every year. He underscored the direct impact that delays in aircraft development and manufacturing can have on operational capabilities, emphasising that “technology delayed is technology denied.”</h4>
<h1>Current and Future Aircraft Programmes</h1>
<h4>Singh outlined several ongoing programmes designed to address the shortfall in fighter aircraft. These include the Tejas Mk-1A and Tejas Mk-2 projects, alongside the proposed purchase of 114 Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA). He also referred to the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), which is India&#8217;s ambitious fifth-generation fighter initiative. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is expected to ramp up production to exceed 24 aircraft annually.</h4>
<h4>Singh noted that if these programmes progress as intended, they could collectively fulfil the annual demand for new jets. In the event of delays affecting the AMCA or other projects, Singh mentioned that the IAF may need to contemplate alternative fighter platforms. Regarding any current discussions with Russia concerning the Su-57 fighter jet, he noted that no decision has yet been made.</h4>
<h1>Theatre Commands Structure Under Review</h1>
<h4>On the matter of theatre commands, Singh conveyed that the IAF does not oppose their formation but indicated that the structure and implementation of such commands require meticulous evaluation. He referenced operational lessons learned from Operation Sindoor, which have influenced the ongoing discussions about restructuring.</h4>
<h4>The revamped Chiefs of Staff Committee will reassess the proposed command structure to determine whether it should be executed all at once or in phases. Singh confirmed that the military would present recommended options to the government following their internal examination. This indicates a collaborative approach to decision-making regarding future military organisation.</h4>
<h4>During the press conference, Singh expressed concerns regarding the military cooperation between Pakistan and China, particularly in the context of developing fifth-generation fighter jets. He categorised this partnership as a significant &#8220;cause of concern&#8221; for India&#8217;s national security. However, he also noted that Pakistan has yet to fully realise the potential of its aircraft due to deficiencies in integrating these platforms with its broader combat system.</h4>
<h4>Singh highlighted that an aircraft’s overall effectiveness is contingent upon how seamlessly it operates within a larger combat network. This statement underscores the complexities surrounding modern aerial warfare and the interconnected nature of military assets. The insights shared by Singh will inform the ongoing discussions on enhancing the IAF’s operational readiness and capability.</h4>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The Akash Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system has been acknowledged by Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh as a significant milestone in India’s journey towards self-reliance in military technology. This acknowledgement follows an extensive emphasis on the development of domestic capabilities in the defence sector. Speaking to ANI in New Delhi, Singh pointed out that the Akash system has now entered a stabilised production phase, supported by robust domestic demand and an increasing presence in international defence markets.</h4>
<h4>Singh stated, “Akash is one of our success stories. It illustrates the progress of our indigenous missile design and production capabilities. It effectively engages high-speed aerial targets.” The Defence Secretary noted that in addition to fulfilling the needs of the Indian Armed Forces, the system has gained traction in the export market, particularly in Central Asia.</h4>
<h1>Expansion of Exports Beyond Borders</h1>
<h4>The Akash missile system has established itself as a reliable tool against various aerial threats, including drones and missiles. Armenia was the system&#8217;s initial customer, signing a deal in 2022 for multiple Akash-1S batteries, with deliveries slated to commence in late 2024. Following Armenia, both Tajikistan and Turkmenistan have also emerged as buyers, enhancing India&#8217;s presence in markets traditionally dominated by Russian arms.</h4>
<h4>Rajesh Kumar Singh elaborated on the system&#8217;s production stability, indicating ongoing procurement by the Indian military alongside additional export orders. He noted, “We have received orders for our services, and I am confident that there will be more interest from various regions, which we are actively pursuing.” The successful export of the Akash system signifies a potential shift in the defence landscape of the region.</h4>
<h4>The Akash system, which can engage supersonic targets at ranges reaching up to 30 kilometres and even up to 50 kilometres for newer variants such as Akash-NG, represents an advancement in India&#8217;s defence capabilities, utilising ramjet propulsion and command guidance systems.</h4>
<h1>Future Outlook and Expectations for Defence Exports</h1>
<h4>In a previous statement made earlier in September, Defence Secretary Singh highlighted the cost advantages that position India favourably in the global defence market. He anticipates that defence exports could reach Rs 50,000 crore within the next two years. During his address at the 13th PAFI Annual Forum 2026, he referenced BrahMos as a notable export product, along with increasing opportunities in artillery and mounted gun systems.</h4>
<h4>Singh pointed to rising demand for private sector products based on DRDO technology, alongside the Akash missiles. He mentioned various Southeast Asian countries that are showing interest in India&#8217;s advanced defence systems. This indicates a growing global confidence in Indian-made defence equipment.</h4>
<h4>The history of the Akash missile dates back to 1983, conceived under the leadership of renowned scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. Initially named in 1984, the project faced numerous challenges over the years, eventually becoming a cornerstone of India&#8217;s strategic defence initiatives. Its successful development and deployment reflect the dedication of its creators, enhancing national security against threatening aerial targets.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>France has revealed its willingness to facilitate India in integrating indigenous weapons and systems with the Rafale fighter jet, amidst ongoing discussions regarding the acquisition of 114 additional aircraft. This willingness reflects a recognition of India&#8217;s increasing demand for autonomy in the operation and enhancement of its combat fleet.</h4>
<h4>Lieutenant General Dominique Tardif, Vice Chief of the French Air and Space Force, emphasised France&#8217;s understanding of India&#8217;s ambitions in defence production during his visit to India for Exercise Tarang Shakti. Tardif remarked on the significance of sovereignty in military operations, highlighting the importance of independent decision-making for both countries. This aligns with India&#8217;s goals of achieving greater self-reliance.</h4>
<h4>According to Tardif, key discussions are focused on devising a mechanism that allows the Indian Air Force to utilise a wider range of armaments beyond those originally integrated with the Rafale. He expressed confidence that fruitful discussions could be held among French defence companies, Indian industry stakeholders, and government representatives to achieve this end.</h4>
<h1>Access to Technical Information</h1>
<h4>The dialogue around integration capabilities comes at a crucial time, as negotiations for the new Rafale deal continue. Reports indicate that India is not necessarily seeking full access to the Rafale’s source code. It encompasses essential software instructions governing the aircraft&#8217;s various functions. Instead, India is aiming to obtain technical data enabling communication between the Rafale and its locally developed weapons.</h4>
<h4>One of the significant tools in this context is the Interface Control Document (ICD). It specifies the communication protocols between the aircraft’s systems and external devices. Indian defence experts believe that accessing interface-level information will enable effective integration of indigenous weapons without needing the complete source code.</h4>
<h4>Thus, it addresses India’s broader strategy of melding homegrown capabilities with foreign platforms. This approach is particularly pertinent considering India’s objective to foster a robust defence manufacturing ecosystem while enhancing operational flexibility across its military assets. The acquisition of technical documentation is seen as a pivotal next step in achieving these goals.</h4>
<h1>Implications for the Rafale Acquisition Drive</h1>
<h4>Currently, India operates 36 Rafales obtained through a previous government-to-government agreement. Moreover, France is now exploring the acquisition of an additional 114 aircraft. This new contract is anticipated to encompass a substantial &#8220;Make in India&#8221; initiative, which aims to bolster local manufacturing capabilities.</h4>
<h4>Discussions on the integration of indigenous weaponry are closely linked to broader demands for technology transfer and increased participation from Indian industries. The programme is viewed as a cornerstone for advancing domestic military production and enhancing strategic capabilities within the region. France is already progressing with upgraded versions of the Rafale, notably the F4 standard.</h4>
<h4>Meanwhile, the next-generation F5 model is under development, planned for completion around 2035. Enhancements in sensory technology, electronic warfare, and engine performance are anticipated in future iterations. Thus, allowing India to integrate its own technologies into the Rafale programme is crucial for enhancing India&#8217;s defence landscape and strengthening its self-reliance ambitions in military matters.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>पाकिस्तान की सेना ने बढ़ाई सैन्य ताकत, खर्च कर रहा है अरबों रुपये</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान की सेना बार-बार भारत को अपने लिए एक बड़ा खतरा बताती रही है। वैसे तो पाकिस्तान का सैन्य बजट छोटा है, लेकिन वह अपनी सेना की ताकत बढ़ाने के लिए प्रतिबद्ध है। पिछले कुछ वर्षों में, इस्लामाबाद ने अंतरराष्ट्रीय मदद और हथियार खरीद पर बड़ी राशि खर्च की है। इसके अलावा, वह अपने उत्पादित हथियारों के माध्यम से भी अपनी सेना को आधुनिक बनाने की कोशिश कर रहा है।</h5>
<h2>चीन के साथ बढ़ी साझेदारी</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान अपने वायुसेना में चीनी लड़ाकू विमानों को शामिल करने में लगा हुआ है। वह एयर डिफेंस सिस्टम की खरीद और मैकेनाइज्ड फोर्स की क्षमताओं को बढ़ाने पर जोर दे रहा है। पाकिस्तान ने चीनी VT-4 टैंकों की खरीद के लिए कॉन्ट्रैक्ट साइन किया है और अपनी घरेलू युद्धक टैंक &#8216;हैदर&#8217; का विकास भी कर रहा है।</h5>
<h2>हथियारों की खरीद में तेजी</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान की सेना ने चीन से मिड-रेंज AIR DEFENSE सिस्टम खरीदने के लिए कदम उठाए हैं। इस दिशा में LY-80 और HQ-9P जैसे हथियारों की खरीद शामिल है। इसके अलावा, लगभग 400 FN-16 जैसे मैन-पोर्टेबल एयर-डिफेंस सिस्टम भी शामिल किए गए हैं। ये सभी प्रयास पाकिस्तान की सेना को और अधिक सक्षम बनाने के लिए किए जा रहे हैं।</h5>
<h2>इलेक्ट्रॉनिक युद्ध में उछाल</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान ने इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वारफेयर (EW) में निवेश बढ़ाने की दिशा में भी काम किया है। इंटीग्रेटेड EW और कम्युनिकेशंस इंटेलिजेंस (COMINT) सिस्टम के प्राथमिक विकास के लिए, नास्कोल बल्कि कई संस्थान सक्रिय हैं, जिसमें डिफेंस साइंस एंड टेक्नोलॉजी ऑर्गनाइज़ेशन (DESTO) शामिल है। पाकिस्तान ने इटली से इलेक्ट्रॉनिक इंटेलिजेंस सिस्टम खरीदने के लिए भी समझौता किया है।</h5>
<h2>वायुसेना की तैयारी में नई तकनीक</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान वायुसेना अपने बेड़े को आधुनिक और अत्याधुनिक उड़ान के लिए तैयार कर रहा है। मई 2025 में भारत के साथ संघर्ष में, पाकिस्तान ने अपनी कुछ एयरबेस को खो दिया था, जिसके बाद उसने नई पीढ़ी के लड़ाकू विमानों, बिना पायलट वाले हवाई सिस्टम (UAS) और इंटीग्रेटेड एयर डिफेंस सिस्टम पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया है।</h5>
<h2>नौसेना आधुनिकीकरण की दिशा में कदम</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान ने अपनी नौसेना को भी मजबूत बनाने के लिए बड़े आधुनिकीकरण कार्यक्रम शुरू किए हैं। खबरों के अनुसार, वह अपने बेड़े में लगभग 50 युद्धपोतों को शामिल करने की योजना बना रहा है। इसमें चीन और तुर्की के साथ मिलकर सबमरीन और कार्वेट बनाने की योजनाएं भी शामिल हैं। इस प्रकार, पाकिस्तान अपनी नौसेना की ताकत को भी बढ़ाने की कोशिश कर रहा है।</h5>
<h2>भविष्य की तकनीकों की ओर कदम</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान ने अपनी सेना को नेटवर्क-केंद्रित युद्ध (NCW) क्षमताओं से लैस करने की ओर भी कदम बढ़ाए हैं। इसके तहत, JF-17 और J-10 जैसे लड़ाकू विमानों की खरीद के साथ, वह एक ऐसी सेना बनाने की कोशिश कर रहा है जो विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में सामंजस्य से ऑपरेशन कर सके। पाकिस्तान की यह आधुनिकरण की दिशा उसके शक्तिशाली होने की एक संकेत हो सकती है।</h5>

<h2>पाकिस्तानी नौसेना की नई पनडुब्बी हंगोर ने पहली बार दागी एंटी-शिप मिसाइल, समुद्र में सफल परीक्षण</h2>
<h5><a href="https://thecsrjournal.in/pns-hunain-in-the-spotlight-after-collision-with-ins-vessel-here-is-the-full-story-of-this-pakistani-warship">पाकिस्तान नौसेना</a> की नई हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बी PNS/M Hangor ने अपनी पहली वास्तविक हथियार फायरिंग पूरी कर ली है। उत्तर अरब सागर में किए गए इस परीक्षण के दौरान पनडुब्बी से एक एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइल दागी गई, जिसने निर्धारित लंबी दूरी के लक्ष्य को सफलतापूर्वक निशाना बनाया। इस परीक्षण को पाकिस्तानी नौसेना की पनडुब्बी युद्धक क्षमता बढ़ाने की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण परिचालन उपलब्धि के तौर पर देखा जा रहा है। हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बियां पाकिस्तान के समुद्री युद्धक बेड़े के आधुनिकीकरण की महत्वपूर्ण परियोजनाओं में शामिल हैं। पाकिस्तान ने ऐसी आठ पनडुब्बियों को अपने बेड़े में शामिल करने की योजना बनाई है। इनमें आधुनिक युद्धक प्रणालियों, उन्नत सेंसर, वायु-स्वतंत्र प्रणोदन प्रणाली यानी Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) और कम पहचान में आने वाली तकनीकों को शामिल किया जा रहा है। इन विशेषताओं का उद्देश्य पनडुब्बियों को लंबे समय तक पानी के भीतर सक्रिय रहने और दुश्मन की निगरानी प्रणालियों से बचते हुए अभियान संचालित करने में मदद करना है।</h5>
<h2>पहली वास्तविक मिसाइल फायरिंग से बढ़ी परिचालन क्षमता</h2>
<h5>PNS/M Hangor की हालिया मिसाइल फायरिंग इसलिए महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि यह केवल किसी हथियार प्रणाली का स्थिर या प्रशिक्षण परीक्षण नहीं था, बल्कि वास्तविक हथियार दागकर लक्ष्य को भेदने का परिचालन अभ्यास था। इस तरह के परीक्षण से नौसेना को पनडुब्बी, हथियार प्रणाली, सेंसर, लक्ष्य पहचान और फायर-कंट्रोल व्यवस्था के बीच तालमेल को परखने का अवसर मिलता है। उत्तर अरब सागर में हुए इस अभ्यास में पनडुब्बी ने निर्धारित लक्ष्य पर एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइल दागी। उपलब्ध जानकारी के अनुसार मिसाइल ने लक्ष्य को सटीक रूप से निशाना बनाया। हालांकि, सार्वजनिक रूप से उपलब्ध वीडियो या तस्वीरों के आधार पर इस्तेमाल की गई मिसाइल के सटीक मॉडल की स्वतंत्र पुष्टि करना संभव नहीं है। यही वजह है कि मिसाइल की पहचान को लेकर अलग-अलग दावे सामने आए हैं। कुछ रक्षा पर्यवेक्षकों ने वीडियो में दिखाई देने वाली मिसाइल को चीन की YJ श्रृंखला की एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइल से जोड़ने की संभावना जताई है। कुछ विश्लेषणों में YJ-18 या YJ-19 का नाम भी सामने आया है। लेकिन केवल वीडियो फुटेज के आधार पर इन दावों को निश्चित रूप से प्रमाणित नहीं किया जा सकता। इसी तरह मिसाइल की वास्तविक गति भी वीडियो देखकर निर्धारित नहीं की जा सकती।</h5>
<h2>चीन के साथ सहयोग से तैयार हो रही हंगोर श्रेणी</h2>
<h5>हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बी परियोजना <a href="https://thecsrjournal.in/india-rejects-china-pakistan-joint-statement-jammu-kashmir-hindi">पाकिस्तान और चीन के बीच रक्षा सहयोग</a> का एक महत्वपूर्ण उदाहरण है। इन पनडुब्बियों का विकास चीन की Type 039B/Type 041 परिवार से संबंधित डिजाइन पर आधारित माना जाता है। पाकिस्तान के लिए यह परियोजना इसलिए महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि इससे उसकी पनडुब्बी क्षमता में आधुनिक प्लेटफॉर्म शामिल होते हैं। पाकिस्तान ने कुल आठ हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बियों की योजना बनाई है। समझौते के तहत शुरुआती पनडुब्बियां चीन में निर्मित की जा रही हैं, जबकि शेष पनडुब्बियों के निर्माण में पाकिस्तान की कराची शिपयार्ड एंड इंजीनियरिंग वर्क्स (KS&amp;EW) की भूमिका है। इसका उद्देश्य केवल पनडुब्बियां हासिल करना ही नहीं, बल्कि पाकिस्तान में पनडुब्बी निर्माण की तकनीकी क्षमता को भी मजबूत करना है।</h5>
<h2>AIP तकनीक क्यों है महत्वपूर्ण?</h2>
<h5>हंगोर श्रेणी की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण विशेषताओं में से एक वायु-स्वतंत्र प्रणोदन प्रणाली है। सामान्य डीजल-इलेक्ट्रिक पनडुब्बियों को अपनी बैटरियों को चार्ज करने के लिए समय-समय पर सतह के करीब आना या स्नॉर्कल का इस्तेमाल करना पड़ता है। इससे उनके पकड़े जाने की संभावना बढ़ सकती है। AIP प्रणाली पनडुब्बी को लंबे समय तक पानी के भीतर अपेक्षाकृत कम निर्भरता के साथ संचालन करने में मदद करती है। इसका सीधा फायदा उसकी छिपने की क्षमता और समुद्र में टिके रहने की अवधि पर पड़ता है। हालांकि AIP को परमाणु प्रणोदन के बराबर नहीं माना जाता। परमाणु पनडुब्बियां लंबे समय तक पानी के भीतर उच्च गति से संचालन कर सकती हैं, जबकि पारंपरिक AIP पनडुब्बियों की भूमिका मुख्य रूप से अपेक्षाकृत शांत और कम गति वाले पानी के भीतर अभियानों में महत्वपूर्ण होती है।</h5>
<h2>कम पहचान में आने वाली पनडुब्बी</h2>
<h5>आधुनिक पनडुब्बी युद्ध में केवल मिसाइल की मारक क्षमता ही महत्वपूर्ण नहीं होती। उससे भी महत्वपूर्ण होता है कि पनडुब्बी स्वयं कितनी देर तक दुश्मन की नजर से बची रह सकती है। हंगोर श्रेणी में कम ध्वनि उत्पन्न करने वाली प्रणालियों, आधुनिक सेंसर और बेहतर जलगत संरचना जैसी विशेषताओं पर जोर दिया गया है। पनडुब्बी जितनी कम आवाज पैदा करती है, उतना ही मुश्किल उसका पता लगाना हो सकता है। इसे समुद्री युद्ध में stealth का महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा माना जाता है। इसके अलावा आधुनिक सोनार और अन्य सेंसर पनडुब्बी को आसपास के समुद्री क्षेत्र में जहाजों तथा दूसरी गतिविधियों की पहचान करने में मदद करते हैं। इन प्रणालियों से प्राप्त जानकारी के आधार पर पनडुब्बी अपने अभियान और हथियारों के इस्तेमाल को नियंत्रित कर सकती है।</h5>
<h2>एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइल की भूमिका</h2>
<h5>एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइलों का प्रमुख उद्देश्य समुद्र में मौजूद युद्धपोतों और दूसरे बड़े सतही लक्ष्यों को निशाना बनाना होता है। जब ऐसी मिसाइल किसी पनडुब्बी से दागी जाती है, तो हमलावर प्लेटफॉर्म स्वयं समुद्र की सतह के नीचे छिपा रह सकता है। यही संयोजन—छिपी हुई पनडुब्बी और लंबी दूरी की मिसाइल—समुद्री युद्ध में एक महत्वपूर्ण चुनौती पैदा करता है। संभावित विरोधी के लिए खतरा केवल उसके सामने दिखाई देने वाले युद्धपोतों से नहीं रहता, बल्कि समुद्र के भीतर छिपे प्लेटफॉर्म से भी हो सकता है। हालांकि किसी विशेष मिसाइल की वास्तविक मारक दूरी, उड़ान प्रोफाइल, गति और मार्गदर्शन क्षमता के बारे में आधिकारिक जानकारी उपलब्ध न होने पर सोशल मीडिया या वीडियो के आधार पर निश्चित निष्कर्ष निकालना उचित नहीं होगा।</h5>
<h2>YJ-18 या YJ-19 की चर्चा क्यों?</h2>
<h5>हालिया फायरिंग के वीडियो सामने आने के बाद कुछ रक्षा विश्लेषकों ने अनुमान लगाया कि इसमें चीन की YJ श्रृंखला की मिसाइल का इस्तेमाल किया गया हो सकता है। YJ-18 चीन की प्रमुख एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइल प्रणालियों में गिनी जाती है और इसे पनडुब्बियों तथा अन्य समुद्री प्लेटफॉर्म से इस्तेमाल किए जाने वाली प्रणालियों से जोड़ा जाता रहा है। दूसरी ओर YJ-19 को लेकर भी हाल के वर्षों में रक्षा विश्लेषणों में चर्चा हुई है। मिसाइल की पहचान के लिए सामान्यतः उसके आकार, प्रक्षेपण प्रणाली, पंखों की बनावट, इंजन की विशेषताओं, उड़ान प्रोफाइल और आधिकारिक सैन्य जानकारी जैसे कई स्रोतों की आवश्यकता होती है। इसलिए अभी YJ-18 या YJ-19 को निश्चित हथियार बताना जल्दबाजी होगी।</h5>
<h2>पाकिस्तान की समुद्री रणनीति में बदलाव</h2>
<h5>हंगोर श्रेणी का विकास पाकिस्तान की समुद्री रणनीति में पानी के भीतर युद्धक क्षमता को मजबूत करने की दीर्घकालिक कोशिश का हिस्सा है। पाकिस्तान नौसेना के पास पहले से अगोस्ता श्रेणी की पनडुब्बियां हैं, लेकिन नई पीढ़ी की पनडुब्बियों के शामिल होने से उसके बेड़े में आधुनिक प्रणोदन, सेंसर और हथियार प्रणालियों की क्षमता बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। पाकिस्तान के लिए समुद्री सुरक्षा का महत्व इसलिए भी बढ़ जाता है क्योंकि उसकी अर्थव्यवस्था और व्यापार का बड़ा हिस्सा समुद्री मार्गों पर निर्भर है। कराची और ग्वादर जैसे बंदरगाहों के साथ-साथ अरब सागर में व्यापारिक समुद्री मार्ग देश की रणनीतिक जरूरतों से जुड़े हैं। ऐसे में पनडुब्बियों को पाकिस्तान की समुद्री प्रतिरोधक क्षमता का महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा माना जाता है। पनडुब्बियां दुश्मन की नौसैनिक गतिविधियों की निगरानी, समुद्री मार्गों पर दबाव बनाने और युद्ध की स्थिति में सतही युद्धपोतों को चुनौती देने के लिए इस्तेमाल की जा सकती हैं।</h5>
<h2>भारत के संदर्भ में भी अहम</h2>
<h5>हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बियों का विकास भारत के लिए भी समुद्री सुरक्षा के नजरिये से महत्वपूर्ण घटनाक्रम है। हिंद महासागर क्षेत्र में भारत और पाकिस्तान दोनों अपनी नौसैनिक क्षमताओं को लगातार आधुनिक बना रहे हैं। भारत के पास परमाणु ऊर्जा से संचालित पनडुब्बियों के साथ-साथ पारंपरिक डीजल-इलेक्ट्रिक पनडुब्बियों का बेड़ा है और वह अपनी पनडुब्बी क्षमता बढ़ाने की दिशा में भी काम कर रहा है। ऐसे में पाकिस्तान की नई AIP-सक्षम पनडुब्बियां दोनों देशों के बीच समुद्री सैन्य संतुलन से जुड़े विश्लेषणों में स्वाभाविक रूप से चर्चा का विषय बनती हैं। हालांकि किसी एक परीक्षण को दोनों देशों की पूरी नौसैनिक क्षमता का प्रतिनिधि मानना उचित नहीं होगा। समुद्री युद्धक क्षमता का आकलन जहाजों और पनडुब्बियों की संख्या के साथ-साथ उनके सेंसर, हथियार, प्रशिक्षण, रखरखाव, चालक दल की दक्षता, संचार नेटवर्क और वास्तविक परिचालन अनुभव जैसे कई कारकों से किया जाता है।</h5>
<h2>आठ पनडुब्बियों से क्या बदलेगा?</h2>
<h5>पाकिस्तान की योजना के अनुसार आठ हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बियां उसके पनडुब्बी बेड़े के आधुनिकीकरण में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाएंगी। नई पनडुब्बियों के धीरे-धीरे बेड़े में शामिल होने के साथ पाकिस्तान के पास पुराने प्लेटफॉर्म के मुकाबले अधिक आधुनिक सेंसर और प्रणोदन प्रणाली वाले विकल्प होंगे। PNS/M Hangor की पहली वास्तविक मिसाइल फायरिंग इस पूरी परियोजना के लिए एक अहम पड़ाव है। इससे यह संकेत मिलता है कि कम से कम पहला प्लेटफॉर्म हथियार प्रणाली के वास्तविक परीक्षण के चरण तक पहुंच चुका है। आने वाले समय में अन्य पनडुब्बियों की स्वीकृति, परीक्षण और नौसेना में औपचारिक तैनाती से परियोजना की वास्तविक परिचालन क्षमता का अधिक स्पष्ट आकलन संभव होगा।</h5>
<h5>फिलहाल इस परीक्षण का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण पहलू यही है कि पाकिस्तान की नई हंगोर श्रेणी की पनडुब्बी ने समुद्र में वास्तविक एंटी-शिप क्रूज मिसाइल दागकर निर्धारित लक्ष्य को सफलतापूर्वक निशाना बनाया है। यह पाकिस्तान नौसेना के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण परिचालन मील का पत्थर है। वहीं इस्तेमाल की गई मिसाइल का सटीक मॉडल और उसकी वास्तविक गति जैसे दावों पर आधिकारिक पुष्टि आने तक सावधानी बरतना जरूरी है।</h5>
