Not enough for PLAN. We need stealth nuclear submarines with hyper-sonic missiles. Sourya as AShM on Arihant class is the best bet.

All Indian members should contribute so that we can send a proper camera to ANI
Indeed. But I don't think our docks are capable of churning our warships that fast.
Also, it would be silly to take on PLAN directly as we need a 11 trillion dollar economy to match that kind of budget. They don't spend $110 billion per annum for nothing. Also they have the advantage of a unitary government (no opposition and their politicians have the option to either stand with the central government or be executed).
But eventually we will be able to match and even exceed should our government think and do the way PM Modi is doing for the next 15-20 years.
In any case, I think securing IOR by Navy should be our target. Himalayas and IOR are two most important assets India has and it should always be in our control or influence (for friendly countries). This century the one who controls IOR and Himalayas will become the superpower.
Salute to these hardworking men and women who developed this beauty.

They have lots more money. China's defence budget is 6 times more than India's, I know. But I am talking about quality over quantity. This ship costs around $1 billion! Again same Brahmos and Barak-8, one has 300 km range and another 70 km. PLAN is way ahead of us in long range SAM and AShM. They will rain with long range anti-sip missiles on IN ships. These ships are excillent for PN but not even single ship will survive against PLAN.
I do not understand, INS Kolkata laucnhed in 2006 and in 2015 we afre launching INS Vizag and there is no change in weapons or sensors!!!! Look at newer PLAN ships, full of innovative weapons and firepower.
I am not asking for big ships but a decisive weapon. We had Brahmos from 2001 to 2015, which gave us decisive advantage over PLAN, now we need a new decisive weapon against more powerful PLAN, that is advanced submarines with hypersonic missiles. why waste money on P-15B!
It nice to dream. But crawl, walk and run. Even PLAN doesn't have what you are asking for, at least not a well tested and deployed system. How do the current destroyers being built lag wrt to the PLAN destroyers. May be in numbers not sure about weaponry (only significant weapon systems they have over us is LACM) and sensors.

There is nothing cutting edge about there technology. from land. navy, air to space, majority is still Russian/Ukrainian stolen, bought tech and civilian projects heavily rely on collaboration with European countries.The italics part; China has come a long way from only making quantity. Their military scientific research today is far ahead of us and far more stable in churning out cutting edge technology.

That's one massive vessel.... Looks so perfect
