Principal Surface Combatant.

Every PSC has one.

Bhindi finally we are getting rid of the Bhopal Steam Turbines that came in with the effing Leanders.

Alas, he seems quite ignorant of his wrongness.

No. On paper, it is a good sub.

Paper pe toh Su57 bhi sexy hai. But paper toh AMCA bhi hai. Same concept here.

Just go to Japan and get their Li ion batteries. That'll make the sub as expensive as an SSBN (almost) but maybe the Japs can fork out a contain PLAN in peace sink PLAN in war loan.

They can and they have- Soryus in IJN ( I mean the JMSDF)

Deescalating norms mate.

YES we do. India Pak and China all maintain discrete land missiles with unmated warheads. That means there's always going to be the temptation to strike first and knock out the warheads before mating and retaliation can take place. Nuke armed SSBNs are your GUARANTEED second strike capability. A...

I can accept an argument that Arihant is our SSGN, there is some potential there. but SSN?

83 thermal MW ke reactor se SSN? Kis duniya mai khoyehue ho.

The entire nuclear and non nuclear SSKs debate going on is moronic. Arihant is an SSBN. SSBN's do not use a higher power rated reactor like SSNs. Nor do they need rapid ramping up of power output like SSNs since they either sit on the ocean floor or cruise at very slow speeds to remain...

Armament and sensors are rarely if ever touched. Design improvements generally are to stores, crew comfort, and automation. Sometimes the very construction is changed ala last 2 Kamortas

Naa not really. It'll be an aberration on the scale of a shark amidst a shoal of bass.

the last several projects have been tranches in effect. P15 -> P15A -> P15B P16 -> P16A P17-> P17A P25-> P25A

True. I should have said the MF STAR as we have it, which is a 3 x 3 meter panel is too power hungry for corvettes.

MF STAR is too big for ships smaller than Frigates. They should be armed with either a derivative of the Revathi (look at the kamortas) or the secondary search radar of the new Vishakapatnams and Nilgiris as primary. (Indra Lanza)

30 SSKs. HOLY HELL. We dont have that many PSCs

MFSTAR is actually on the no import list now. We have a local derivative and the Revathi and some TASL license manufacture 3D air search radar ready. So P18 onwards should be all local radars.
