[HEADLINES INDIA] India has been working to strengthen its forces to meet such challenges in future. Two latest additions to its arsenal – Harop and cluster bomb CBU-105 – are set to enhance India’s striking capabilities against the enemies manifold.Harop, an insect-like machine, is considered the world’s smartest suicide bomber. With a super-sharp microchip as its brain and some of the world’s most advanced sensors, Harop is a remote-controlled killer. India will soon deploy this devastating lone ranger against its enemies.
Take this as a case: a ship confirmed to be carrying armed terrorists with high explosives is detected on the high seas and is heading straight for Mumbai harbour at high speed. All efforts to engage the terrorists fail. Then a Harop is launched. It zips towards the terrorist vessel. Once above the vessel, it acquires the target and confirms the identity. With target locked, the suicide mission begins and the Harop smashes into the ship.
A Harop can play havoc with Pakistan’s terror training camps across the LoC. It can be discreetly launched across enemy lines, low enough to evade enemy radar. It can loiter in enemy airspace and smash into a terror training camp.The other hunter killer that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is acquiring is CBU-105, considered the world’s smartest cluster bomb. There has been tremendous opposition to it because of the collateral damage cluster bombs are known to cause. But sources told Headlines Today that this bomb is really smart – if a CBU-105 fails to locate its target, it self destructs.
Consider this – a column of Pakistani tanks rumble towards the Indian border, ready to blast their way into the country. The Indian border defences watch in horror as the Pakistani tanks approach. Then B-52 aircraft flies in and drops a CBU-105 bomb. A single bomb releases several small bomblets which identify their individual targets destroying them almost simultaneously.
the air force’s most intelligent tank-killing weapon disintegrates freeing bombs from the main CBU-105 unit. Each bomblet, fitted with geared with a laser sensor, is a tiny little hunter-killer in its own right. Once the tank target is acquired, the fireworks begin. A tiny copper warhead is blasted with explosive energy downward. The tank doesn’t even know what has hit it.
The IAF will be the first foreign user of the American cluster bomb, the world’s most blisteringly intelligent anti-tank weapon. It is called the bomb with brains and has been used only once in anger before.
