See if you can join the discord, cause, personally it'd suck to never be able to commune with you ever again.

PS - And I mean it for everyone here, even those who I do not agree with.

Sa'ar 6 :
Displacement: 1,900 long tons (and weapons coming out of the wazoo)
Range: 4,000 nmi

Nilgiri :
Displacement: 6,560 long tons
Range: 5,500 nmi

Need I say any more??

No storms to face, no monstrous monsoon waves, just the placid waters off the Israeli coast.

No flagship facility, no scope of upgradation, no power and space overheads.

And Brahmos VLS is a monster that occupies a shit load of tonnage.

After observing this phenomena for far too long & giving this much thought , let me confess I'm not convinced of the figures in terms of the armaments put forth by the IN .

Not only are we hiding information , we're also creating a lot of floor space for future upgradation like for instance our Destroyers will be armed not just with the XR range of SAMs but also the AD-1/AD-2 series.

Thats a given.
Take it for granted that IN ships are hiding stuff.

No redundancy, negligible repair capacity, and few days at sea.

Not to mention that it has fewer missiles in reality than mentioned on the Wiki page.
16 Barack-MX cells (not 32)
8 Gabriel 5 canisters (not 16)
4000km (not nmi)

It's a corvette, nothing more.

Along with 40 C-Dome systems. Pretty impressive for a corvette.

It's a mini-frigate, more compared to a missile boat... It's anti-sub capabilities are not stellar.

Is the Brahmos really worth the size and weight? The IN could instead carry 16 of the stealthy Naval Strike Missile (NSM) for much less weight like some Western Navies.
The weight and space savings should be enough to have a 48 cell VLS for air defence instead of the 32 cell currently used.

Yes it is very very lethal purely quality over quantity

Western navel forces in worst scenario will face some terrorist in Mediterranean or red sea area, not the same for Indian Navy, we will face atleast two wars in next 50 years

The bigger Western Navies are setup to face the Russians and the Chinese.

For the Indian Navy, Pakistan should not be too difficult to handle. However, I worry about China with their 96+ cell destroyers/cruisers.

There won't be any war in European context except for Americans, rest all are just keeping the tech alive and for show of strength.

In total, three new explosive formulations have been developed by Economic Explosives Ltd, a subsidiary of the Nagpur-based Solar Industries.

India should increase the yield in future similar to Russian and US thermobaric bombs.

Russian FOAB: Blast yield 44 t (97,000 lb) of TNT

Father of All Bombs - Wikipedia

US Air Force MOAB: Blast yield 11 tons TNT (46 GJ)
