MR-SAM? IN designates Barak-8 as LR-SAM, it is IA and IAF that call it MR-SAM.

Of course he would say that, the man has no self awareness and is a politican at the end of the day.

The Black Shark deal hadn't been signed by the IN and whilst the Blacklisting might not be offical, due to the fuss the presstitutes have made over the entire debacle there is no way any Finmecannia product will be ordered this generation.

The black shark torpedeos for the IN's Scorpenes will not be delivered meaning they are being inducted effectviely toothless and considering they are hard wired for this type there will be a high cost penalty associated with the decsion to blacklist Finmeccanica and go for an alternative...

Everything I said was valid, the HWT for ships was not one of the things that Finmeccanica was supplying. There is still a huge gap in India's defence caused by the blacklisting.

SNAFU!: The Indian D63 Kolkata Destroyer is the most balanced on the planet.

http://i.imgur.com/JNhXbgX.jpg ^^ Above two images, taken in Oct 2013, and May 2014 respectively of the first P-15B under construction- coming along nicely. Should easily be in a sea worthy condition in 2-3 years, 7-8,000+ destroyer in around 3-4 years isn't bad at all for any nation.

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month 9 years is the exception not the rule, for the lead class that was a generation ahead of anything the IN had ever had before and the likes of the P-17 and P-15A did take their time but their follow-ons (P-17A and P-15B) will be...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month Anyone else think it is an utter joke this ship costing India, what, close to a billion per ship will be forced to operate the aged Sea Kings as their embarked ASW Helos? In todays world ships work as a series of integrated...

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month You're pulling these figures out of your arse bro, 2017??? 2019???? What is wrong with you? Missiles will be delivered later this year FACT now STFU and go collect your 50 cents from party HQ..

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month What about INS Teg, Tarkash and Trikand that also have Bhramos?

A fair point but the P-15A is many times more complex than anything India has produced before. Let's wat and see what sort of timescales the P-15B and P-17A are produced to. If these ships take as long as the P-15A and P-17 respectively then there is a reason to criticise and be downbeat. If...

It only takes India twice as long RIGHT NOW because India is still using outdated methods of construction and Indian shipyards have never worked on such complex projects such as the P-17,P-15,IAC-1 and the likes. Western shipyards have the luxury of decades of such expertise in their pocket and...

The latest news I have from a freind I the defence industry who will be attending the P-15A commisioning (he attends all such events) is that the date is set for mid/late August 2013. Within the next few weeks the BARAK 8s will be delivered from Israel. It remains to be clear whether these will...
