Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

LERX is missing . Based on inlet geometry, it's an F 18 SH.

and F 15 is not a naval design

That's part of the reason why its a bad job.

LCU delivered by GRSE to IN, its 100th ship.

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/indian-navy-warship-landing-craft-utility-l-56-grse-5651017/

The Indian Navy Saturday received another landing craft utility (LCU), L-56. The warship was built and designed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE), Kolkata. The LCU was GRSE’s 100th warship. The ship can accommodate 216 personnel and is equipped with two indigenous CRN 91 guns, read a statement by GRSE.

“The LCU is 63-metre-long and 11-metre-wide and has a displacement of 830 T with a low draught of 1.7 m. It can achieve a speed of 15 knots. The ship is fitted with the state-of-the-art equipment and advanced systems such as Integrated Bridge System (IBS) and Integrated Platform Management System,” read the statement.

GRSE has emerged the first Indian shipyard to make and deliver 100 warships to the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard and Mauritius Coast Guard.

The 100th Warship, IN LCU L-56, was formally handed over by GRSE CMD Rear Admiral V K Saxena, IN (Retd.), to the Commanding Officer of the Ship, Lt. Cdr. Gopinath Narayanan. It is the sixth of eight such vessels for the Navy. The construction of the other two warships is progressing as per the schedule. The design of these LCU Mark-IV ships has been developed by GRSE, as per requirements by the Navy.

GRSE has delivered eight warships in the last 22 months.

No it's an F15E alright. Either IN is talking about something that might blow everyone away or this was a fuck up of epic proportions

...I'm tilting toward the latter.

Sometimes we ourselves end up providing fodder for criticism and later rue the mistake.... Set up Tri-Services Command with an integrated and dedicated media management that manages the psy-ops as well as information dissemination .... That's one of the most important lesson we need to learn from the post Pulwama episode... Hope the RM and PMO takes note of this

Yeah -- no way Boeing is going to bring back plans for the Sea Eagle 5 decades on and for 57 aircraft?

RIDICULOUS.

Given the shit situation of f-35 program,USN will settle for anything that isn't f-35B.

Plox bring back f-14 tomcat with superior avionics and Radar.

F 35C. Marines are responsible for the VTOL requirements of F 35B fucking up logistics across all airframes.

The price that it comes at is really lucrative.

F-35 can never match such numbers plus a single engine fighter operating from carrier deck isn't a great idea.

2.6$ Billion for just 24 helicopters?
That's 108$ million for each helicopter that's more costly than the fighter jet.

IMHO, sea King was fine, but the Indian Navy knows much better than us about there requirements.
