BRAHMOS BOOST FOR INDIAN NAVY

 Rs 1700CR DEAL FOR BRAHMOS FOR INDIAN NAVY 

Defense ministry signs Rs 1700-cr contract with Brahmos aerospace PVT LTD. The deal has been signed to buy additional duel-role capable missiles for the Navy. A move that will provide impetus to 'AATMANORBHARATA' in defense production. The induction of Brahmos missiles will significantly enhance the operational capability of Indian Navy fleet assets.

Brahmos variants can be launched from Land, Air, and sea all three variants of Brahmos are in service in the Indian Armed Forces. In May, India fired an extended range variant of Brahmos from Sukhoi-30 with the weapon achieving a direct hit on the designated target in the bay of Bengal. The Brahmos missile, an Indo-Russian joint venture, has a range of 290 km. It is the fastest cruise missile in the world with a top speed of Mach 2.8.



Increasing the missile's range became possible after India's Induction into the missile technology control regime in June 2016. India is also laying the groundwork to develop an even more extended-range Brahmos missile capable of striking targets more than 800 km away.

GLASS ELECTRODE

 GLASS ELECTRODE It is a secondary reference electrode that produces a constant and reproducible electrode potential. It is an ion-selective electrode used with other reference electrodes to generate a potential difference. Construction It is made up of a special glass of relatively low melting point and high electrical conductivity, in the form of a sealed glass tube filled with 0.1M HCl, a platinum wire is inserted into it, to make electrical contact. The glass electrode is represented as Pt| 0.1M HCl | Glass | H+    The H+ ion concentration inside the electrode is constant. When the electrode is immersed into a solution of unknown H+, it becomes sensitive to the outside concentration in the solution. Such a sensitivity arises because of the difference between the H+ ion concentration inside and outside.       The electrode potential of the glass rod is : EG = EG0 + 0.0591 log [ H+ ]     EG = EG0 - 0.0591 pH  The glass electrode is used as the internal reference electrode for th

CHROMATOGRAPHY

CHROMATOGRAPHY  It is a method used for the separation, purification, and identification of a mixture of substances. It is useful when components of a mixture have similar physical and chemical properties and hence cannot be separated by other methods. Principle: It is based on the distribution of the components in a mixture between a stationary and a mobile phase. The stationary phase may be a column of adsorbent, a paper, a thin layer of adsorbent through which the mobile phase moves on. The mobile phase may be a liquid or gas. The principle of chromatographic separation is always adsorption (absorption of a constituent on the surface of the solid stationary phase) or partition (distribution of a constituent in between two liquid stationary phases). THEORY OF CHROMATOGRAPHY The separation takes place due to the differential migration of components which depends on the relative affinity towards the stationary and mobile phases.  The component which is less strongly held by the station

 ISRAEL'S LASER AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM NIGHTMARE OF IRANIAN DRONES  Israel's defense ministry plan to surround Israel with a laser wall. Israel spent $150 million on laser defense. Israel's Game-Chaninging defense system is the first of its kind in the world with this cutting-edge system Israel's ministry plans to surround itself with this technology. The laser shall supplement the short-range air defense provided by Israel's iron dome. 90% success rate, The iron dome detects and intercepts incoming missiles and drones.  The weapon will take time to be operational and is expected to be partly funded by the U.S. Israel keeping a tab on the growing threat posed by the Iranian armed drones, as the Iranian-made rockets in the hands of Lebanon's Hezbollah group are also a worry.
