Where did you acquire this news about Shivalik's Klubs being replaced with BrahMos by 2018? That is interesting. A good point-defence missile system will dramatically increase a ship's survivability. The FM-90N which I believe PN has got on the Zulfiqar-class FFG should be more than enough for...

Nice work - however there are a couple of corrections I gotta make - You're actually calling the P-15A as P-15 and the P-15B as the P-15A. P-15 = Delhi-class P-15A = Kolkata-class P-15B = Visakhapatnam-class The numbers, however do not change in this part. Secondly, eventhough the...

Let's not even get started on the whole J-10B/FC-20 drama. It's far better to competitively evaluate + select an aircraft, and then see it through to the final stages of the deal, than to make claptrap about an imaginary purchase, and then drop it entirely altogether. In the time the other side...

The picture in OP is a Chinese Type-055 destroyer CGI.

I like the sound this deal is making nowadays. @PARIKRAMA Thanks much! ^^ Yes, I'll take that. ^^ This too... ^^ Don't wanna leave this out either... Oh and don't forget naval Rafale... How much French is too much? Well, it seems Indian armed forces want to find out! Meanwhile, I'm...

This has less to do with MTCR, and more to do with the NPT - which we have not signed.

1 SSN = good 2 SSNs = better Let 'em come.

You and @Didact make some excellent points. I am considering how it would be if we went in for a bigger, improved sister ship of the Vikrant (which seems extremely likely now) and instead of following it up with the currently planned 65,000 tons IAC-2, we rework the requirements keeping...

o_O :crazy::crazy: On topic - I'm pretty certain that IN will definitely receive atleast 1 more SSN from Russia. However I'm not sure about the said SSN being the Yasen-class. The orders for this class are nowhere near fulfilled and currently the Russian Navy needs all the Yasens it can get...

I got high hopes of seeing something new in YA-16. I think this is also the first instance of US army in this exercise using Multicam pattern? Seeing how the previous interactions with American personnel may have led to Indian forces getting interested in trying out ACP/MARPAT camos, let's hope...

We neither wasted any money nor any time. IAC-1 construction was ongoing throughout this period, and all the negotiations with US will be useful for IAC-2, regardless of when it comes. Plus, other than creating a joint working group to study the available prospects, we didn't really place any...

If this plane was ready 5 years ago, it would have been a good compititor to the C-295W and C-27J. Now the C295 is most likely to secure all orders for planes of this class among all the services (including Coast Guard).

It's where the HQ of the Eastern Naval Command is located.

Oh yeah, look at the China-Pak defence cooperation...it so full of GRAAAAACE.

Some older images of D66 Kolkata preparing to leave Seychelles -

In all likelihood, the selection for a new CIWS gun will be an international competition/tender. Don't expect that to get sorted any time soon.

Destroyer INS Mormugao (D66), the 2nd ship of the P-15B Visakhapatnam-class, has been launched - @PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy @randomradio @Water Car Engineer ^^ A correction! It's not launched yet, the ceremony is scheduled for the 17th. These are just early sneak-peaks. INS Kolkata...

While it's too early to say how exactly it'll turn out (although we can be sure it will be fairly similar to the existing Shivalik), I would be more than happy if they decide to omit the RBU-6000/IRL rocket launchers. They do offer an additional capability (which is considered unnecessary by...

Built by ISRO & affiliated labs in India, launched by Arianespace.

I am skeptical that you have higher brain functions.
