Man that’s really depressing, so they haven’t learned anything from the original production process?

60 months for a ~7K frigate is a decent build now it’s going to be 84/96 months?

what’s the timeline now? All 7 in service by 2029? (4 years late)

Japanese MoD Releases New Details on Ballistic Missile Defense Ships - USNI News

The Japanese Ministry of Defense released last week new details on Tokyo’s plan to build two ballistic missile defense warships to counter North Korean missiles. On Dec. 23, the MoD released additional details on the two BMD ships Japan elected to procure after canceling two planned Aegis Ashore...

"The new report from the MoD did not detail the specific dimensions of the proposed ships, but previous reports say the two ships could be as large as 20,000 tons"

i can’t find any official MDL sources for this and until recently MDL were still sticking to the 2025 deadline for their final 17A although considering nilgiri has already fallen behind the delivery schedule I don’t expect this to be the case

Typical PSU bs, lie blatantly and then explain delays later.

Not happening

Whom to blame? This is habit of both PSUs and our armed forces.

Japanese and Korean shipyards are really a notch above. They will build most ships within 8-12 months. I was astonished when they launched the KDX-iii batch 2 destroyer within 8 months.

Any idea how many vessels Koreans, Japanese and British inducted in 2022!?

Induction process takes time for both Korean and Japanese Navies. But the construction pace is something that needs to be followed here which is near to impossible.

 

[binayak95]

Freezing some parameters?
Means they started building the vessel without freezing the design

That is the biggest fucking issue with IN. The DND always keeps tinkering till the last freaking moment. It pushes R&D but at the cost of delayed timelines.

It’s happened repeatedly now, at some point you can’t blame the production entities for this anymore and this becomes a feature not a bug. Any project they sanction add a minimum of 3-5 years onto proposed delivery times because this is so damn consistent

Even pvt companies are suffering due to this nature and mindset.

Among major warships (over 3000 tons)
S.Korea - 0
Japan -4 (1 Taegi, 3 Mogami)
Uk - 1 (Astute, even though why are u even comparing them here?)

India - 3 (Vikrant, Vishakapatnam ,Anvesh)

We are ahead as of now, though 1 ship lesser than Japan, our ships are massive.

2023 Expected

S.Korea - 4 -KSS-III, 1 Sejong the Great, 2 Daegu
Japan - 3 -1 Taegi,2 Mogami

India -3 - Kalvari, Arihant((i hope so) ,Vishakapatnam

We have Arihant and arighat in our inventory

 

[rohit b3]

Arighat isnt officially commissioned. Its just speculations.

 

[Sachinananda]

Arighat isnt officially commissioned. Its just speculations.

See these projects are headed by pmo
Where things won't have a formal procedure
Osints are reliable in this case arighat is doing it duty
S4 is in sea trials and S4* is at fitting out stage that's what I remember

Can 30mm canon installed on 2200 ton Indian coast Guard ships effective against corvette or frigate from 4-5 km distance.
And if not, then why such a weapon installed on such huge war vessel.

Because Coast Guard is never going to fight it
