Answering your questions.
Answering your questions
@Adioz .
1. Yes our Navy destroyer functions in squadron format of 2 similar destroyers.
2.6 is the number as of 2016,this number will only increase once all the Kamorta class are in service.
(In his last conversation he was quite displeased with Kamorta but after having word with some acting staff and officers he is assured that the size of the Corvettes is justified as navy will in future once budget allows will add more weapons of different category)
(The number of P-8i in our inventory could be more than 2 dozen,navy is just too happy with this system,no Chinese subs go undetected thanks to their noise and no matter how slow they move,they get painted)
3.Navy always wanted such systems for its capital warships and for its CBG.For future destroyer plans it's on the cards as well.They will only press forward once DRDO comes up with something solid,as of now it's a dream with a design but nothing solid.
4.No,CIWS plus Barak combo is a deadly combo, almost impregnable.
5.No,as of now we only want a landing helicopter dock.But navy will add more LCU.
(If Juan Carlos is selected for which navy is pressing hard for then we may get so see 10-12 f-35s for each of them,navy wants a strong fleet of mini CBG's)
6.Yes,but he is not sure which help exactly.
It will only depend on what helicopter is selected for MRSV tender program.
7.Navy at RIMPAC was pleased with v-22,thanks to its high payload and range but cost of purchase, operation and extremely difficult maintenance is a big big big hurdle which navy doesn't see herself overcoming.
8.He is not exactly sure,he has saved these images and have shared with his colleagues and will get back to it shortly,he remembers that DRDO had come up with a aip design but navy wanted some changes made to it and hence they were back at the drawing board.Since 2014 he has not heard much on this.
9.Theatre command is a very complex thing as our border with every neighbour carriers just too much,he can't comment on this.He will get back to this one too.
10.The day air force gives up its ego,the day they will move forward towards having a dedicated CDS command.
11.Yup navy wishes to acquire more data to keep a check on china and other rising powers in the region,but currently we have enough resources.
12.Navy has a dedicated team to keep its network and communication systems from any sort of tap and leaks.Our data links are also very good,so far too good.
13.The mig-29k will remain Navy's primary offensive fighter aircraft for atleast 10 more years
doh
,Hence navy will integrate all possible weapons on it.
MIG-29k in navy is some sort of a love hate relationship,Navy loves it for its kinematic performance and finds it okay for carrier ops but thanks to our friends in Russia,it's difficult to have more than 20 of them available at a time.
14.No, currently only IN after USN is a dominant power in IOR,plus IOR is vast enough that it's operations are not hampered by anything at anytime.But rise of powers like BD is a matter of concern.
15.Once we impose a blockade on pakistan,the chinese will have no option other than to see his whore being banged and spanked India,there is no escaping.PN cannot last more than 48 hours.Their is no chance.
Now IOR has 9 checkpoints and most of them are within our reach,china has only 4 ways which it can use.
Straight of Malacca being the prime,if they wish to do any misadventure,their subs and warships will be at the mercy of P-8i and su-30mki armed with brahmos plus kora class.
The, Chinese, even in their wettest of dreams cant do any sort of misadventure in IOR right now,10-15 years down the line maybe they will be in a comfortable position but result would most likely be the same.
Of all the three arms of armed forces,only Navy is building up strength,rest are just retaining their strength.
16.Such a system is definite on next gen destroyer.
Now
@Bhumihar .
Most of the design is done,some work is left on elevators and hangar area.
Almost done he would say.
@binayak95 your turn.
It's certainly a very intensive task,even he recalls he had to visit shit load of countries in IOR a year,he counted him visiting 3 countries in 1 year.Thanks to berthing rights and good relationship with many countries is IOR,things are good.
2.The idea is too cheesy to be true.
First off,data transfer during exercise with Japan and USN is always a big fuss thanks to different data links and network systems.
Now because of this operation becomes difficult,Japs and Aussies communicate with amreekis in the water as they have similar data links and network systems.
The quad at max will be a framework and an annual dialogue at max,don't expect much.
We are on our own.
The navy has come up with two design philosophies.
Evolutionary (8000-9000 tonne class)
And Revolutionary (11000-12000 tonne class)
Certainly the revolutionary ones will cost a lot,above 3 billion usd for sure.
Heck even the Vishakhapatnam class ones cost north of 1 billion USD.
The evolutionary ones will cost 2 billion USD as they will incorporate a lot of new technologies like rail guns,more vls and certainly UVLS, electric propulsion.
