Ya'll Nibbiars

1 . Better stability.

2 . Better intergated warfare suits.

3 . Better situational awareness.

4 . Improved gun and weapons systems.

5 . More composite structure.

6 . And improved radar cross sections.

So, basically, every ship class in Indian Navy is increment over the previous one? Is that why we don't produce any of them in bulk?

 

[Nationalist Manasvi Papa]

INS Visakhapatnam

 

[Neeraj Mathur]

Ya'll Nibbiars still it will have Barak 8 ER.

Most probably. As size of Barak 8 and ER are similar and need no extra modification.

Look at the amount of free space there. LoL. It's so big that i can build a two storey house and can also add few dozens of extra VLS for air defence.

Even the VLS at the back also have a lot of free room

Yes. Indian navy is getting new alien technology every year so that's why they can't build ships in bulk like those of ameture US Navy and PLAN. We need upgraded/new class of ships every year cuz today's P15B is useless tomorrow. We need new ship, let's name it P18 and let's spend extra few billions in R&D

I don't know man, seeing these much of free/non used space is really making me angry. I hope they integrate atleast 32 VLS for VLSRSAM(VL-Astra). We can't even call them air defence destroyer as they don't even have enough of short range SAMs
