Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month If there was a simpler way to explain this I would but I can't. I don't know what to put as a benchmark for a cruiser to compare it to P15B. The Tico BTW was based on a Destroyer hull and had the RIM-67 SM-2ER when it had the...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month No it doesn't. Neither does a ship with Aegis mean it's a cruiser, F100 Bazan and Nansen would be cruisers as well if you go by this logic. I wanted you to do a comparison of AB & Tico and of the Sovremmeny & Slava to prove my...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month I would just ask you one simple question as to why P-15B is nearer to a cruiser?

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month INS Delhi Laid down: 11 June 1931 Launched: 1 September 1932 Commissioned: 10 October 1933 (HMS Achilles) HMS Delhi Laid down: 29 October 1917 Launched: 23 August 1918 Commissioned: June 1919 14 years of difference between...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month In service or being constructed. Since you want to say P-15B with LACM Nirbhay has cruiser/near cruiser capabilities same can be said for the Type 052D. Never did I say BMD capability was the only guiding feature for the...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month 10,000+ tonnes full load for INS Mysore. Compare that era destroyers by displacement, size and armament.

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month Which was the last modern ship you came across having a designation of a light cruiser? Going by your logic Type 052D itself is now a cruiser or no less than a cruiser? P-15B with Barak-8ER is still outmatched in range by...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month Zumwalt was primarily designed for NGFS roles and it's only AAD weapon is the ESSM, in this role though it does have much firepower than the Tico. The CGX which was supposed to replace the Tico and was based on the Zumwalt hull...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month Tonnage wise it's still a destroyer not a cruiser. Modern day cruisers like the Tico and Slava are over 10,000 tonnes in displacement and are more than 30 year old designs, Sejong the Great which is a destroyer has a displacement...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month Your source is a bit wrong. This missile is the 9M317ME it is a completely new missile designed to be launched from a VLS and has a lower weight, lesser diameter and smaller length than the 9M317 missile used on the P17 Shivalik...

2 AK-630 with 32 Barak-1 would be a better fit in my opinion. All 4 AK-630 are clustered in one area which makes 2 pairs redundant. Instead it would be better to have one just between the Air Defence VLS and RBU-6000 and the other just above the hangar. Instead of the AK-630 the Millenium Gun...

What's going to be the air-defence weapon fit? 64 x Barak-8 (70km Range) with additional 32 x Barak-1 with 2 x AK-630 CIWS or a mix of 64 x Barak-8 and Barak-1 with 4 x AK-630 CIWS? Are there any plans to integrate the Barak-8ER (essentially a Barak-8 with Booster) which is supposed to have...
