Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

[jai jaganath]

Thanks a lot for explanations and knowledge

Can the Kamorta's be jumboized? Add space for additional equipment or weapons perhaps? While its a fine ASW Corvette and has space left out for the addition of VLS capable of firing VL-SRSAM, adding some more weapons to its fit should'nt really hurt us a lot in terms of stability and seakeeping.

And besides, the P28 class is already legendary for hunting down and hounding chinki SSNs out of Malabar exercises.

Link to news of finding Chinese submarines during Malabar exercises, saar?

It is designed considering future upgrades, including VL-SRSAM, vtol uav, autonomous crafts etc, so yes. All these were on Navy requirement list for a long time. Any issue can be fixed thanks to local/in house R&D.

Jumbosizing the Kamorta gives you, "drumroll" the NGC. Which is multirole

Should I tell the main reason why despite being a $3.5 trillion dollar economy we are unable to compete with others....

....the answer lies in freebies....we are spending f**king ₹3.5 lac crores on freebies & this is just by central govt

the govt also spends much on subsidies on corporate sectors like PLI and interest less loans. Let’s not waybeat the poor for subsidies.

Should be taken when coming in for MLU's in the future.

They are there but too small to notice. Here, SRCG means 12.7 mm Stabilized Remote Control Gun made by OFT.

My fault i was thinking about the srgm

Did you guys notice? IN has removed the forward SAM launcher from D54 and D55. Probably to fit VL-SRSAM?

Either of these

The attach files option is not coming for me. May be that option gets unlocked after some specific milestone?

I will attach the web link of the image.

You can also notice the 2 SRCGs near the Brahmos UVLM.

Well, we did see VL-SRSAM tested from a Rajput class destroyer not so long ago. But these ships are about to retire. So its more than likely just for testing purposes, not operationally deployed.

Yeah, make sense. In my opinion Delhi class will have their arm launchers replaced by VL-SRSAM but will IN replace their Barak-1 with AK-630? As D-60 and D-61 carry 32 Barak-1s.
