The insightful articles, inspiring narrations and analytical perspectives presented by the Editorial Team, establish an alluring connect with the reader. My compliments and best wishes to SP Guide Publications.
"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.
The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu welcomed the TU-142M long range maritime patrol aircraft of the Indian Navy which landed at INS Dega for the last time recently. A special ceremony organised at INS Dega to formally welcome the aircraft at Visakhapatnam was attended by P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Civil Aviation Minister, Vice Admiral H.C.S. Bisht, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command, and others. The Andhra Pradesh government had earlier requested the Ministry of Defence for allotment of one de-inducted TU-142M for converting it into a museum.
The request is being processed at the Ministry of Defence. The Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) would be coordinating all activities related to aircraft museum. The TU is likely to be dismantled and transported by road on trailers and reassembled on the Beach Road near Kursura Submarine Museum.
