Indian Navy: Pictures and Multimedia

I hope those interior shots are not what we are getting when it's delivered to India. I hope we have full digital systems when we recieve it.

those are digital controls only.
after installing full systems it will look good.

nice pics yaar,
when will this schedule complete?

for me it looks like a cruiser so it will be great if we had modified into cruiser with lethal brahmos,club missiles,lots of barak missiles etc

hi raja do u need a missile crusier , check it, their is a cruiser sitting Ukrainian shipyard, they offered us so many times, for free + refit costs+ Weapon systems cost,
it isnt bad , but does not suite for IN's doctrine.
but it is one big fat heavy punch, it can carry weapons almost equal to some may 10 Destroyers capacity approx,

may be sea trial is estimated at 2011 and Commissioned at 2012..

Thanks brother, by the way one of my friends in IN told me that INS Vikramadhitya would arrive soon in 2010 or 2011, and ship trails would be conducted in India with GOI's cost, and later will be send to Russia for weaponisation. and return for Induction in 2012, i'm not so sure weather its true or not,
this means the sea trails will go in India with the help of Russian experts.
i taught it was a good Idea.

our IN's doctrine is ruining us,why they are always making us toothless armed force? as we are not going to attack anyone but if some one(super power) attacks us,its not a aggressive status to have cruisers and other lethal weapons system:2guns:

I want to have a big cruiser too in our Navy but I think we need to build up our shipyards and learn to build bigger ships before we get something as big as a crusier in our inventory. We are already building a aircraft carrier and have built and will build more nuke subs so our building experience is getting better. But India is not a Russia or America yet and still needs to update the infastructure before we induct nuclear cruisers and very large ships. I think we have a decent navy if all the procurement plans go as planned.
