On September 7, 2020, the Indian hypersonic system HSTDV was successfully tested at a test site on the east coast of India.
The device was launched to an altitude of 30 km. carrier rocket Agni-I, where the experimental hypersonic system should reach speeds of up to 6 Mach numbers.
It is stated that the HSTDV will be used to launch satellites into orbit, and the developments under this program will be the basis for the creation of hypersonic missile weapons.

India:
The Indian Air Force's all-male Rafale squadron in Ambala is all set to get its first woman fighter pilot soon.
India Today has learnt that one of the IAF's 10 current active woman fighter pilots is undergoing conversion training and will begin active duties flying Rafale jets with the 17 Squadron soon.
The IAF's first 5 Rafale fighters were ceremonially inducted into the Golden Arrows squadron on September 10 in Ambala. Since late August, the jets have flown familiarisation sorties over Ladakh, even landing in Leh on occasion as part of an operational work-up ahead of full operational readiness.
More Rafales will be arriving in October and December, with all 36 on order to be inducted by late 2021.
The woman pilot, who India Today will not identify owing to service sensitivities, has been through the full fighter training course so far and is already operational on MiG-21 fighters.
Women fighter pilots undergo an identical training regimen as their male counterparts. Once they are operational on a fighter type, they undergo conversion training, which as the phrase suggests, is a curriculum pilots need to take when they switch from flying one aircraft to another.
In this case, the woman pilot will be converting from MiG-21 Bison to the Rafale, a vastly different and more modern jet in all respects.

Bangladesh Air Force on Thursday received seven Karakorum-8 light attack aircrafts after they arrived at Chattogram Air Force base from China under a government-to-government agreement.
The Inter Service Public Relation Directorate in a statement said the seven aircraft arrived at Bangladesh Air Force base Zahurul Haque in Chattogram after a successful ferry flight from Dehong Mangsgi in China by BAF pilots led by Group Captain AKM Abdur Rajjaque.
The light attack and trainer aircrafts were supplied by China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation and they were received at the BAF Base Zahurul Haque following the customs of Bangladesh Air Force.
The BAF Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Masihuzzaman Serniabat, principal staff officers of air headquarters and senior officers were present on the occasion.
The BAF chief on September 28 in Dhaka said that his force was looking to enhance its capability so that the country always remained ready to protect its sovereignty.
Md Noor Islam, an assistant director at the ISPR, said that the induction of the aircrafts would be held in another ceremony later.
The ISPR said that in addition to the existing K-8W training aircraft in BAF inventory, the inclusion of the newly-purchased seven K-8W training aircraft would certainly enhance the training as well as the operational capability of BAF.
The defence ministry sources told New Age that Bangladesh had procured total 16 aircrafts, of which one crashed and another sustained major damage in an accident last year.

Indian Army has ordered the Kalyani M4 armoured 4x4 vehicles in a $25 million deal. There's speculation on the numbers which aren't revealed but most sources say an initial batch of 27 vehicles. The M4 is a licensed South African-designed Paramount Mbombe 4, and will be built in India by Kalyani Group which seems to have entered into a deal with Paramount.

India:
The Barak-8ER (extended range) SAM, jointly developed by Israel's IAI and India's DRDO was test-fired from canister. The base version has a dual-pulse motor with 70-90km range while the ER variant with an additional booster stage (much like Aster-30) is designed to extend that out to approx 150km.

Sri Lanka:
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) recently signed a contract, worth USD $50 million with Sri Lanka's Ministry of Defense to upgrade Kfir aircraft for the Sri Lankan Air Force. The deal includes replacing the aircraft's basic avionics with the advanced 4+ generation fighter aircraft avionics in order to one day integrate advanced radar, sensors, communication systems, and new helmets. The upgrade process will also include transfer of knowledge and skills for refurbishment to Sri Lankan Air Force personnel. The upgrades will be completed in cooperation with Sri Lanka's Air Force and in their local facilities.
The Kfir, when first developed, was a game-changer on the battlefield with its ability to carry heavy ammunition and reach enemy targets in a precise manner. The decision to upgrade the aircraft now, was based in part, on the successful completion of this process in the Colombian Air Force. In 2012 and 2018, the Colombian Air Force's Kfir fleet participated in the United States Red Flag exercise, alongside the U.S. Air Force and other air forces.
