All P-15 class destroyers are meant to get Barak 8 ..
No the engines are Ukranian Zoryas. Very reliable engines. The LM2500 will only be used with P-17's.Minor changes in Visakhapatnam compare to Kolakata, I presume the engines are perhaps American rather than Ukrainian as we manufacture American gas turbine engines under license ..
The ship still needs to be fitted with its all its above-deck superstructure and armaments. Considering launch to induction took 7 years for Kolkata, 3 years is quick.So it will take 3 years for sea trials? Can't we shorten this time?

Two multirole Helicopters, earlier some Reports mentions It can carry a single MRH onlyThe four ships of Project 15B ships being built at MDL,Mumbai have been designed indigenously by the Directorate of Naval Design,Delhi and bear testimony to the acclaimed legacy of Naval designers. With adisplacement of 7300 tons, each ship will be spanning 163 meters in length and17.4 meters at the beam and will be propelled by four gas turbines to achievespeed in excess of 30 knots. The P15B destroyers incorporate new designconcepts for improved survivability, sea keeping, stealth and manoeuvrability.Enhanced stealth features have been achieved through shaping of hull and use ofradar transparent deck fittings which make these ships difficult to detect. These ships will be equipped to carry and operate two multiple rolehelicopters.
These ships are also packed with anarray of state of the art weapons and sensors, including vertically launchedmissile system for long distance engagement of shore and sea-based targets.With significant indigenous content, these ships are a true hallmark of selfreliance attained by our country in warship design and ship building.
Sea Hawk S 70 B Already selected, we may see that in our Front line ShipsIt can also carry two multiple-role helicopters (e.g., Sea King or HAL Dhruv helicopters).

My friend Steel authority of india ltd. (sail) supplied steel for INS VIZAG/ INS KOLKATA.....Vizag steel (RINL) has no deal with defence sector.Article cuts across the Vishakhapatnam Steel with the bests. However it falls short giving the same type of comparisons it highlighted with Guanghzou class for comparing with Daring Class, Akizuki class or Hobart class. If the technological additions does counts, then where does Indian economical manufacturing stands comparing with the best of the world !!
So it seems like it is true.
What is this ?? Is it true?
