Kalashnikov Holding has enhanced its Haska hovercraft, increasing its carrying capacity to 20 metric tons without altering its dimensions. The upgrade focuses on the propulsion system and was revealed at the Fleet-2026 defense show.
DRDO has developed a revolutionary air-independent propulsion (AIP) system for submarines, with land-based prototype tested in 2021. The system is in final preparation at L&T Hazira plant in Gujarat and will be installed in India's 14th submarine at Mazagon Dock in Mumbai. The AIP system will significantly enhance submerged endurance of diesel-electric submarines, with DRDO also developing a torpedo-mounted missile capable of destroying submarines 400km away, hypersonic glide missiles, and laser-directed energy weapons.
