L&T is probably the only yard in #India today that matches the #Chinese pace of shipbuilding. That in turn explains why the @DefenceMinIndia babudom tries to deny orders to it.

Am i reading this right - that the 400+km Brahmos will be skewed to a 170Km SCANTER radar?

Also How is a coastal missile battery an "offensive punch" ??!

Seems like DDM, in IA, each Regiment has 6 batteries each usually has 4 launchers with 3 missiles each or 12 missiles i.e 72 missiles per regiment.

Ideally in this case we have 2 regiments with 2 batteries each with 4 launchers * 3 missiles, hence 48 missiles in total, more or less fits the cost estimate.

Quote "Trials have become a joke...The first several LPD-17 ships were accepted with many thousands of hours of incomplete work.The early LCS’es were accepted with incomplete compartments. Zumwalt was accepted with none of its combat systems installed.Ford was accepted with major systems inoperable and compartments incomplete" Unquote

Indian MoD signs contract to modernise radars and missiles on @indiannavy’s Delhi-class destroyers:

 

[nongaddarliberal]

#IndianNavy chief bats for three carriers, makes case that #China will have ten by 2049. Thing is they're building variants of the same design on an assembly line. We're building one of each type like a handicrafts industry. This way we'll never catch up.

By 2049 we'll also have 5-6 carriers.
