I suspected so. This guy keeps coming back with different IDs. And then pretends to be a different guy :creepy: He was @Vijyes first, then @Kshithij and now @Advaidhya Tiwari. He needs to stop being so obvious if he is going to go through all this trouble.:rotfl:

Again, questions about IPR. No matter how many Scorpene components you make in India, it will remain a French submarine. "Full ToT" and "minimal delays" do not belong in the same line as "Russia".

Exactly. So a Russia-L&T JV for submarines is most likely going to be delayed, not because of L&T, but Russia.

Would there be space below deck for a VLS?

Not hypersonic yet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________

^The power of indigenous can give you a much more capable plaform for just $100 million more. If Project 17A had all components fully indigenous, the price per firgate would have been less than the price for the four new Talvars Russia has offered. And we would not have been dependent on a...

#13 Is confusing. Is it 5-10 Next Gen. Destroyers or 5-10 Next Gen. Frigates? Are we only thinking of a total of 10 more Next generation capital ships (Destroyers and Frigates) after the P-17A and P-15B programs? This is a little disappointing. I was expecting more Frigates. #15 Next Gen...

Could it be INS Betwa that got overturned during launch from dry dock?

Blast happened at the rigs. The carrier is surely safe. But the accident itself is sad. Om Shanti.

I don't think the US would be that stupid. India is a big market. They have already offered the EMALS as dumping it on us would relieve them off a lot of the development costs of that technology. Their government has already indicated that it has no problems with giving this tech to India. They...

We need to expedite indigenisation of these guns (SRGM and CIWS). We have issues with:- Gyrostabilization: Similar tech available in Arjun MBT turret stabilization, leverage the experience. Barrel tech.: New arty guns coming out, some technological base available, leverage the experience...

God Forbid. As of October 2016, DAC yet to clear anything. No news found after that. We are FUBAR. Two P-15B hulls in the water and they have yet to clear the SRGM? I think MoD is going to push for changing whatever regulation hurdle that is stopping this purchase. I don't think the Navy is...

Nothing would make me happier, but if that was indeed the case, the Navy would not be so inclined to buy US EMALS. Also, I don't get why we would want to develop CATOBAR tech secretly. I mean, if we want to develop CATOBAR tech, we can surely do this overtly. We already test ICBMs and Hypersonic...

There is some hope: http://ficci.in/events/22716/ISP/R-ADM-TRIPATHI.pdf According to this presentation, stabilization, barrel tech and miniaturisation (of what?) are the hurdles for indigenous gun systems. How different are CIWS and SRGM barrels from howitzers? I imagine metallurgy-wise, not...

At least they let us license manufacture stuff even after we blacklist them :laugh: CRN 91 looks like a gyrostabalized BMP turret.

Trials are later this year? Trials of universal VLS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :santa::santa::santa::santa::santa::santa::santa::notbad::hat::hat:

Thanks bhai!! Last question(s): Is the Navy thinking of using hot-launch method in its new universal VLS? And can the new universal VLS be retrofitted to the earlier ships, particularly the P-15A and B?

Again, I hope you are right about Shtil-1 having 50 km range on our ships. Its comforting to know that. But please understand that RBU-6000 and ASROC are different kinds of systems. RBU-6000 uses very cheap ammunition. ASROC practically uses light weight torpedoes. IMHO, because the Navy is...

I think its possible to develop such a missile. We already have the DRDO Shenya light weight torpedo. We need to upgrade if we can and mount it atop a rocket booster (with a length < 3.3 m and dia < 0.52 m) of that can hurl a 220 kg warhead (in this case the Shenya torpedo) to at least 30 km...

I don't know about Shtil-1. Hope you are right, but AFAIK, we signed a deal in 2000-01 for the 9M317ME missiles, and those had a range of 35 km. If we have upgraded, its good. Now, regarding Yu-8: Its the effective range of the torpedo that is 3 km in the water. The torpedo itself can be fired...
