Project 11356 Frigate Modernization

On June 23, 2015 RIR reported that India has expressed interest in fitting its Project 11356 (Talwar class) ships with an improved variant of the Shtil-1 PDMS (Point Defense Missile System) that is currently undergoing state trials in Russia.

The system features vertical launch and a Multi Function Radar with phased array antenna.

The existing Shtil-1 system can launch a missile once every 12 seconds, while the new Shtil-1 can launch once every 1.5-2 seconds.

The Shtil system is designed to engage all the modern means of air attack at medium range and at altitudes from five meters to 15 kilometers.

On October 20, 2014 Vladimir Spiridopulo, the general director working on this project at the Northern Design Bureau, told TASS that negotiations are underway for the overhaul of the first three Project 11356 supplied to the Indian Navy in the early 2000s.

"But the contract for the modernization has not been signed yet," said Spiridopulo.

Nah i don't think that all the 5 Rajput class ships will be retired at once by 2018.I.N. has a policy to keep at least 8 destroyers in it's fleet at any given time.So even with the induction of the Kolkata class the I.N. will be left with only 6 destroyers without the Rajput class ones.Afaik,only 3 ships of the Rajput class(INS Rajput,INS Rana and INS Ranjit) will be retired by the end of this decade.The rest two(INS Ranvijay and INS Ranvir) will be in active service for at least 10 more years till the induction of all the Vishakapatnam class destroyers.

I think last destroyer of Rajput class will be replaced by the P15C(or what ever name they are going to give to next class of destroyers) .....Btw their were talks about upgrading Rajput class destroyers propulsion with Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine engine...

Mid-life refit begins! Talwar Class Frigate of Navy being loaded with Shtil-1 surface to air missile at INS Kadamba. BrahMos VLS is to follow.

​

Under the mid life refit program the first batch of 3 talwar class(talwar,trishul,tabar) and 3 delhi class destroyers are going to get a real good overhaul,which was just cleared in july.

First 3 Talwars get -
8 (220 km) Klub replaced by 8 (300km) brahmos.
ACTAS active towed array sonar (German)
SHTIL-1 arm launcher replaced by Shtil VLS cells.

Delhi Class gets -
Old Uragan shtil SAM replaced by VLS shtil-1.
New data transmission and storage system.
Subsonic Kh-35 replaced by Brahmos.
Fregat M2EM airsearch radar replacing older Fregat MAE version.
ACTAS active towed array sonar replacing current VDS(variable depth sonar)
Possible - HUMSA-NG passive sonar replacing older HUMSA passive sonar.

The biggest capability increments are the VLS shtil and the ACTAS.Followed by brahmos.

• Kolkata-class destroyer (one active and two more under construction) – armed with two 8-cell Brahmos VLS launchers.

Now BrahMos will be integrated in Six More Warships -

• Talwar-class frigate – INS Talwar, INS Trishul and INS Tabar armed with one 8-cell Brahmos VLS launcher.

Shivalik was commissioned after 2010 so after 2020.

They should've just planned VLS from the beginning, oh well.

 

[IND151]

A good news indeed

 

[Agent_47]

They should've just planned VLS from the beginning, oh well.

It wasn't ready then.
Only after 2010 they developed a VLS version of Shil.

 

[Abingdonboy]

When are the Shivaliks going to get VLS sams?

The Shivlaiks have VL-BARAK-1s.

 

[ni8mare]

The Shivlaiks have VL-BARAK-1s.

Shivaiks also has 24 shtil SAM .......he is talking about

 

[Abingdonboy]

Shivaiks also has 24 shtil SAM .......he is talking about

I know, I was just saying that the Shivlaiks do have VL-SAMs which is what @Water Car Engineer seemed to be saying they did not have. I am sure it was just a mistype on his part but still, better to be accurate with these things

 

[ni8mare]

It wasn't ready then.
Only after 2010 they developed a VLS version of Shil.

So weight of Shtil-1 is 581 kg which is double of Barak 8 but with superior range ..i.e.,50 km vs 70 km

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Barak-6 is only first version,future IN ships will have 150 km barak-8ER which is already almost ready.
