10 Talwars + 3 Shivalik with MRSAM and MFSTAR would actually be a huge leap in capabilities if possible.

It is mentioned as MFSTAR-RA. I think it will be a derived variant of MFSTAR

I am having real doubt regarding this.

MFSTAR on Shivalik class perfectly makes sense but not on Talwar and Teg class.

Something like the set up on Sa'ar 6?

MFSTAR-RA means MFSTAR- Rotaional Anteena which is EL/M-2258 ALPHA ( not in import ban list)

This makes perfect sense on Shivalik and Teg class but Talwar class is already 20+ years old but yeah let's see.

Yeah, a similar kind of rotational radar for replacing Fregat.

Whenever the Indian military starts some "indigenous" project.

Israel be like -

I would be happy with just getting rid of the arm launchers for Shtil-VLS or VLSRSAM. A new modern AESA radar and MRSAM is even better than what I hoped for.
Is the Delhi class too old to get these upgrades? Would be nice to have 10 destroyers with MRSAM?
With the 10 Talwar + 3 Shivalik + 7 P-17A we will have 20 MRSAM equipped Frigates.

i am quite sure it will be impossible to provide full power requirements to the MF STAR (not to mention cooling) onboard the Talwar class.

In addition, MF STAR is a heavy sob - and i am not sure the lighter Talwar's CG will be fine with such top heaviness.

Shivaliks, given their broader beam and better seakeeping can handle it - maybe.

Perhaps its a smaller derivative, and we are getting worked up - lets see

Perhaps the bare minimum you need if your adversary is PLAN!?

“LCA naval trainer prototype NP5 successfully completed maiden flight today at
HAL airport, says a DRDO release. Capt Amit Kawade (IN) piloted NP5 with Wg Cdr Siddarth Singh (Retd) in the rear. The aircraft was airborne for 57 minutes with all parameters normal.”

The stupidity not to have the third batch of 11356 with MFSTAR/LRSAM from day one for ships that will be inducting in the mid to late 2020s….

Import list is such a misnomer. To get around it all they have to do is supply SKD to an Indian ‘partner’, there’s nothing stopping the MFSTAR for any additional ships in India
