"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy. Its well-researched and informative magazines on Defence and Aerospace sector have served to shape an educated opinion of our military personnel, policy makers and the public alike. I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
In April, General Dynamics European Land Systems and Airbus Defence and Space successfully demonstrated the load of a Piranha 5 8 x 8 armoured personnel carrier (APC) into an Airbus A400M cargo aircraft during an evaluation exercise. As part of the drill, the Piranha 5 was driven into the cargo compartment and completely tieddown according the airlift procedures.
The objective was to validate the boarding of a Piranha 5 in the cargo compartment without any special preparation as part of a broader A400M evaluation process, demonstrating the transport capability of combat vehicles.
The demonstration was conducted at Airbus Defence and Space site in San Pablo (Seville, Spain), which is the final assembly plant for the A400M.
