Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month

So you want to say Barak 1 can't protect the ship?
No, with Barack-1 this ship can protect itself very well. But it can not offer protection to another Ship.

INS Kolkata will get its missiles very early, not in 2017. The radar and launchers are already in place, the delivery of the missiles will be after commissioning, that's all. It's not a big difference. It will take time for a ship of this class to be properly integrated with the navy, so it will be before that.

2017 is when Gorky will be fitted with Barak-2, so your information is a bit mixed up.

All major ships in India are B-1 capable to protect itself.

Well, when your major Ship had to use Barak -1 to protect itself , it means it already in very danger situation.

Yes, the radar is there and it is good(range 250 Kms). But the Barak - 8 itself will not earlier than 2017.

Why? Can you please educate me?

When you yourself said that B-1 is adequate to protect the ship. But not others. Then I replied back all major ships have individual SAM system in barak1

And now you say, they are in danger, how?

No one will focus fire on a destroyer but AC.

Barak-1 is good but there are limits :
1.number of missiles the ship can carry
2.capacity of how many incoming missiles can handle at a time

So, you are worried about our Vickky? No worries we have 9 frigates with Shtil-1 system, She will be covered.

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month

it is a very outdated missile.
It is the same that you call HQ-16. If that is old then be it.

BTW you were the first export customer.

For P-15B not present P-15A , The article from where you have quoted is outdated ..

Yes, but India will wait it till at least 2017 and fit in the ship after 2019.

Don't have to edit you answers, we don't feel bad about omissions and commissions.

Re: Indian Navy most powerful warship to be delivered next month

If you are not blind , you can tell me the difference.
I am not, but surely you are.

So, it will deliver to INS w/o Brarak-8(range 70 kms).
With Barack -1(range 17 kms) it hard to competed with Chinese 054A frigate which HQ-16 (range 50KM)

Type 054A frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HQ 16 vs HQ16A vs HQ 16B

Which of them has VLS and which not.

Kiddo, get your eyes checked.

And FYI Shtil-1 too has a VLS variant for 1135.6 Russian frigates.



================================

Also never knew VLS increase range and effectiveness
