16 brahmos, in future it may change as brahmos ng with half the weight and more speed.
It will have improved barak 8 (90+ km range instead of 70) or barak 8er with 150 km range.
maitri and barak 8 are entirely different class(qrsam vs lrsam).
afaik kolkata dont have barak 1( as barak 8 covers the range with .5km), so visakha won't have maitri either.
On the ndtv site it was 73000, here i corrected it.
To truly be a guided missile destroyer, it needs a 300-700+km ranged SAMs like the SM-3s, and be laced with more medium and short ranged SAMs, increase the capacity of Brahmos drastically, have CWIS with their own independent detection systems unlike the AK-630s, and also have Nirbhay LACM.
