    Can all 5 PN subs carry Babur SLCM?

    Last tested successfully on Nov 2017.And yes,we can put nukes on brahmos if we wanted to.The main reason we don't is because - in SSBNs it doesn't make any sense when you have ballistic missiles instead.In other platforms if we put tactical level nukes on cruise missiles it will play into...

    'Shadinota' Class corvette news and discussion.

    Kamorta is only P28 series,its follow on 8 P28A are coming soon.You see unlike type 056 which is a coastal ship with low tonnage,kamorta is a true blue water ship of frigate level with plenty of space left open for any future upgrades.Its a dedicated ASW and unlike type 56 actually had passive...

    'Shadinota' Class corvette news and discussion.

    Don't bother with that joker.Pakistan could only dream of building something like a kolkata class destroyer or ins arihant or ins vikrant.He calls type 056 corvette as something of an achievement,its a most mediocre ship.An ASW corvette with no real passive anti torpedo jamming or decoy systems...

    Can all 5 PN subs carry Babur SLCM?

    Its not that it isn't a threat,just that not something of a game changer as it is advertised,and not a proper seaborne deterrent.Ofcourse its a threat,every weapon with the potential to cause damage is a threat.Babur on its own is a big threat because its cheaper than supersonic weapons and thus...

    Can all 5 PN subs carry Babur SLCM?

    Even with curvature of earth,they will be detected eventually.After that its easy to shoot down.Even an AAA gun can shoot it down with basic radar support in terminal stage.And something like barak-8 is desigend to kill them.Allow due to risky terrain hugging flight some missiles hit the surface...

    China’s bomber could reach Malacca Strait, says expert - Global Times

    Malacca chokepoint is the gatekeeper/entry point to our zone of interest in the IOR. We have andaman at its mouth and have loaned sabang island from indonesia to deal with any PLAN misadventure,nip it in the bud at the chokepoint before it can enter the open seas.Its not important for us...

    Can all 5 PN subs carry Babur SLCM?

    Its an additional option,but it can never replace a true SSBN.Everyone else doesn't disagree with me because all major navies field heavy SSBN like ohio and borei class. Yes,a MIRVed TEL launched nuclear carrier IS a serious deterrent.

    Can all 5 PN subs carry Babur SLCM?

    Whats the big deal with subs carrying babur?Babur is not a ballistic missile.This is mostly for show ,a decoy/phony underwater deterrent.Unlike ballistic missiles, subsonic cruise missiles are easy to shoot down.No way can Babur attack heavily guarded installations or cities if it has to go up...

    Washington may ask New Delhi to make a choice: Russia or US

    Totally false reading of history.China couldn't intervene because of 2 reasons - the indian army purposedly planned the operation in the winter months when the snows had begun to fall on the himalayan passes and 2)Indian signed a defence pact with ussr.Attacking India would have meant war with...

    US makes it very clear - Will not share sensitive defence tech with India if S-400 is signed

    Our economy has felt nothing because its driven by internal consumption above all.I know you want to believe indian economy will be 'devastated',but its a fool's errand. As for the S-400,we want it for aircraft not for cruise missiles.S-400 gives us the ability to ground PAF from within indian...

    US makes it very clear - Will not share sensitive defence tech with India if S-400 is signed

    S-400 is not used in anyway against Israelis,moscow and israel have a deal not to engage each other.Syrians only have much older s-200 and small range systems. Not really,most of our companies make their money in the domestic market.
