Good looking ship. I know it has been said before on this thread but surely the recent experience of the US with the war in Israel shows why we need we need more VLS cells. 32 SAMs is not enough if you are operating close to land and face drone swarms or a large number of cheap missiles.
Does the Project 18 class have more firepower, like for it's tonnage/size or in comparison to peer ships from other navies?Good looking ship.

We don't, and large no.of VLS is useless against drone swarms or a large number of cheap missiles, better to avoid such situation or consider building air defense ship with extremely powerful radar + multiple sensors.Good looking ship.

Japan has just shown the way - small calibre rail guns and DEWs are the only solution to saturation attacks.
Yes &
Delivery time will start from 2-3 years from deal signing , but we might see early deployment and accelerated training if France lends us few of theirs.
So maybe deal signing by next year and delivery by 2026-27?
Only after election, Govt might give a combined order of 3-4 sqd for airforce and 26 of these .
Depends. I'm of the opinion the negotiations would commence early next year & stitched up by mid next year . We could also see the IAF / MoD take up the remaining 2 squadrons to be procured where everything from the price to the accessories are fixed except the cost accounting for inflation needs to be negotiated which if our side is really serious about sealing the deal soon shouldn't take long .
What for ? Our aircraft carriers spend more time in maintenance than at sea. At least this is true of the INS Vikramaditya . Besides they don't venture more than 1000 kms away from our coasts , MOSTLY. Compare that to US carriers which voyage around the world always on short notice to join action in troubled spots .Should Indian Navy do the same trials in their aircraft carriers?
