New PAP grenade launcher

WJ/FBQ-08. It seems to be a PAP (or in its new name, CAPF, China Armed Police Forces) only weapon. It's marked with WJ (Armed Police) in its designation.

Not sure wh! at calib er it is in but it's probably in 37mm for the riot control ammo. Break-open design like the old American M79 from the Vietnam War era. The PLA (or its new name CA, China Army) is working on a side-open design like that of H&K and FNH for their 35mm grenade.

Indian Developments in Materials for Military Aero Engines

The Indian aircraft industry is still in its nascent stages of growth. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is the only significant player, manufacturing aircraft and engines, albeit under license production. Even so, most of the materials and material technologies have been sourced from the original manufacturers (OEMs) of the engines and aircraft. In the recent past, a number of new material technologies have been recently introduced which are required in the production of Sukhoi aircraft (Su-30) and its engine (AL31FP). Kaveri, the proposed engine for LCA Tejas is the only programme which aims to design and develop indigenous engine and also to develop indigenous capabilities in the areas of materials and manufacturing technologies. In a sense, the development of indigenous material technologies in India is linked to Kaveri programme. Assessment of materials and manufacturing technologies presented here is largely based on the Kaveri experience in which many industries and research l...
