Cochin Shipyard Bags Rs 10,000 Cr Navy Order For Six Missile Vessels
(Kerala) [India], February 23 (ANI): Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) said on Tuesday it has been declared as the lowest bidder by Ministry of Defence for construction of six next-generation missile vessels to be used by Indian Navy.

The estimated total order value is about Rs 10,000 crore, it said in a brief statement.


"The final announcement of contract will be subject to satisfactory completion of necessary formalities in this regard which will be updated in due course," said CSL.

CSL has built and repaired some of the largest ships in India. It is presently building a prestigious indigenous aircraft carrier for Indian Navy.

Industry experts say that shipbuilding can contribute immensely to the vision of making India a five trillion dollar economy by 2024. (ANI)

Those two inclined brahmos launcher and barak 8 launcher may be ditched for barak 8 or vlsrsam vls , no need for uvls , it is not worth it ,
I think the key to these boats is make them cheap and in numbers so it takes load off of some bigger ships and act as deterrence from protected air cover near our coastal line....hope there is not a ton of imported weaponry or systems to keep the costs down. If the interconnect opens by river canals, they should design those so these can go from east to west and vice versa easily.

Why do all Indians destroyers
Seems to be underarmed comparing to destroyers with similar weight category
Under armed compared to what?

A boat’s design will be inline with the country’s military doctrine.

for ex: an American destroyer travels thousands of km away from home to carry out expeditionary missions, so they carry armaments to suit their tactics. Inspite if this, they are unable to breach even theoretically Chinese wall on eastern seas. now US Navy is going back to design board, because Tomahawks ain’t gonna cut it against PLA.

I do think our destroyers should sport more cells for that tonnage.

Step by step. First our new destroyers are much bigger and capable than old ones. Rajputs are being replaced by Vishakhapatnam almost double the displacement.

Secondly destroyers are costly right now we are inflating number of our frigates massively.

We have 11 frigate in order/ construction stage while only one godavari class needs retirement soon.

That mean our frigates number will increase by 11 in next 4-5 years.

Similarly for Corvettes and other various ships.

Not to mention addition of platform like p8i and mh60r with nam missile are massive capabilities enhancement.
You forgot to mention SMART here it can literally tell pakis to be in their karachi docks and prepare another Niazi with 93,000 momins there.

Smart need time for deployment and us specifically for submarine , brahmos er can fuck karachi port in our budget , two brahmos per ship would cost us only 50 million to destroy their potential ships , while their damage would be in billions

Bhai, why you think a torpedo can only be used against subs? it can also be used against their CHOWMEINS and ERDO DUCK surface ships too.

Deployment will take time but will always be lesser than a SHIP deployment.

Because it is not optimized for cep , and why to spend on that ,if you have brahmos ,which will give you a sure hit .

Nah, it is ofcourse optimized, what you need is precise co-ordinates else the desired area.
You must see this guy videos, you will find more about SMART on his channel.
And then analyze.

I will keep brahmos for Chongs and Arab shits as well as US Demoncrats (hopefully not) who will come for pakis aid if I were PM or DM or commander.

Range and future upgrade , addition of indigenous weapons
I think our ships were designed to be maintainance friendly and taking this into consideration that most of the time it will be nothing but deterrence patrol.

But just imagine if we have to send one of them to a cruising mission in an emergency notice ?

We should atleast have more anti-aircraft ammunition , atleast 16-32 more SAM VLs for those situation.

It's not like we have to fill them up during every mission but it's still better than docking them and refitting them with VLS , specially if the war is on horizon m
