Can't put them on anything but JF-17s due to US restrictions.We are not losing any sleep over JF-17s which are already half obsolete.

Gripen is relatively cheap ,one engined and with the meteor a formidable aircraft.Right now the situation is precarious for our squadron strength.Even at maximum capacity it will take years to fulfill current LCA orders.We need both to fill squadron strength. Rafale would be ideal but it costs...

No it is you that deflects questions with this claim -'ASW patrols in shallower continental shelf littoral areas are only possible with vessels smaller than 1500 tons and drafts below 3.5 meters'.Prove the above. Because that statement means none of the major navies have any shallow water...

Astra did enter production recently with first 50 units.Serial production will then follow this initial batch.R-27 you are right is not as advanced as r-77 but it is meant to be launched in pairs.R-27 has 3 different seekers.One semi active radar homing,one active and infrared passive homing.Its...

We also have the R27,and israeli Derby for the tejas,and now astra has entered production.Only PAF F-16s have aim-120,that is also c-5 model not AIM-120D.Meteor on rafales from next year will come regardless of this tangle.

Or gripens. We still have R-27,R-77,Astra and Derby -ER for other platforms.

Just get the gripen and stop this drama.

Request Indian members not to feed this dead thread resurrected for trolling.

From where did you get this idea that - 'ASW patrols in shallower continental shelf littoral areas are only possible with vessels smaller than 1500 tons and drafts below 3.5 meters'.There is no evidence of this.Show evidence.This is a totally false assertion,by this assumption not only indian...

Why resurrect a dead thread to troll?:tdown:

Totally false assumptions.Kamorta class is not meant to accompany any other corvettes.Kora and khukri class are missile vessels for anti ship duty.Their job is to provide coastal defense against enemy shipping from friendly areas ,their job is not to patrol anything in enemy territory unless its...

There is one fundamental problem in your analysis.Both kora and kukhri class are guide missile corvettes,they are not ASW platforms.They don't have sonar,torpedo tubes ,rbu,helicopters or any real ASW equipment.They missile platforms.Kukhri/Veer class are already slated to be replaced by next...

Yes ,heavier and longer ships will no doubt have greater part of its bottom(hull) under water.Kamorta was built in GRSE and floated out in kolkata which is a river port in bad condition due to silt buildup,so i dispute your assertion.Globalsecurity gave me that number,but since i can't find any...

Game changer in Siachen and remote mountainous regions on the borders.Finally chetak replaced.

Kamorta class draft is just 3.5m,so wth are you talking about? We have no need of coastal warfare ships except in shallow waters of arabian sea.And for that purpose kamorta has 2x RBU-6000 as well as ACTAS sonar.

I do.Its clean and compact.Only complaint is maybe VLS for the a-ship missiles.I hate ships with antennas and weapons all over the place.

That type 54b is a beautiful ship. Congratz to pak members on this 54a acquisition,its a good ship.Versatile,reliable and affordable.Similar in role to our talwar class.:tup:

Deal is done.We are getting it within 2 years. Thought you didn't like bollywood 'corruption'. Akash is a good option for us as an affordable mass produced short to medium range weapon and IAF in particular is happy with the missile for base defense.

Right.Iraqi AD which wasn't even digital is better than S-400,Barak-8,akash and SPYDER.

AAA can shoot them down provided others detect them.How were the russians unable to stop tomahawks?What losses did russians take?Zero.Russian forces in syria were never attacked.They were prewarned and din't engage any american missiles.Only syrian army engaged them and even in that case at...
