Once the MH60Rs and the new tranches of Dhruvs come in, perhaps.

Exactly! IN should offload the MiG29Ks to the IAF - but that mean that the VKD is reduced to a helo carrier so perhaps no.

Yes

thats the american definition SSK for the RN and thus, the IN means - Submarine, Submarine-Killer Meaning a Submarine which has been designed to kill other subs.

"Sub Surface Killer" kuch bhi bolte hai BC :rofl:

18-19 year olds.

For sure, IN loves to iterate and redesign - heck even the same class of ships have differences and improvements. From the very beginning, in the Leanders, the sister ships were all individually different.

Add the LM2500 GTs for P17s, P17As, the new M777 guns, the SIG 716Is, 155mm Excalibur ammunition, the tonnes and tonnes of supplies airlifted to India during and post Galwan. US Fear mongering is so moronic

And they increase the acoustic signature of the ship - generate more noise.

And even PLAN is in for a massive surprise in a few years time. They are gonna face massive shortfall of experienced crew (already are tbh) and on top of that will have a large portion of the fleet be due for repair/overhaul all at the same time.

MT30 is the key problem, as is fuckall QA in the british yards, that too because of substantial down time between orders which causes issues. This is a crack in the starboard prop shaft that developed over some time, ergo maintenance didnt see it either. so speaks VOLUMES about RN standards...

YEAS compare the crazy experimental MT30 Rolls Royce based IEP with Vikramaditya, whose legacy is Russian boilers that broke down in the first sea trials ALONE. Also take a note of LM2500 powering the Vikrant, bloody bulletproof engines. Bhaisaab, navy ke baare mai nahi pata hai toh aise...

You assume SEA nations have any interest in arming themselves. They are quite happy to play US against China . Laos and Cambodia are actively pro Chinese to boot.

Eh what? Park aircraft carrier battle groups? Where? Djibouti? Let them. Just plant one Scorpene and watch them squirm. You guys dont realise the ISR net that has been created across all domains of the IOR.

By all accounts, we are FAR ahead of European powers when it comes to sheer military might. Granted, that comes with caveats (no real domestic ability to do it alone)

Watch your goddamn tongue if you dont know the details of the case. It was a classic case of Russians laying the trap and then springing it.

*learn from the British* Good lord. Old Nelson himself spits on the Royal Navy of today.

reportedly nahi likha hai. REPEATEDLY likha hai. Scotoma much bro? And this ive heard from too many first hand and second hand accounts to take lightly.

Unfortunately, Russians have no shame. They try to snoop and defile the names of officers who come for any course/training/familiarization as a rule. Then they'll try and keep that poor guy on tenterhooks the rest of his life. some "ALLY"

Yeah they will be, and then transferred to IAF.
