Good job by IN and MDL, but we need to speed up the construction of these frigates.

8-9 years for 3 frigates to come online is a bit too long IMO.

INS Sahyadri is slated to be inducted early next year....

Cool. Another stealth frigate for IN. But it needs a paintjob before induction.

Already posted. BTW, it looks old...

^^^what paint job?

Chalo good for india congrats

Great news. IN management is really excellent. Admiral Verma is taking that extra step to retain its reputation as a leading indigenizer in the entire tri-services. IAF is right now the slowest and the most listless despite being headed by a very very smart air chief.

Referring to a bolded part. I really don't understand this term called " Stealth Frigate ". How come such a huge Ship floating on water become a " Stealth Frigate" and what makes such huge Frigate become Stealth? I am not a military professional but can any guru shed some light on it .. Ahhh!! I really miss Mr Penguin.

If a ship of this size is designed and constructed in such a fashion (wrt both materials and shape) that its signature is reduced substantially and it "looks" smaller/ different on an enemy radar/ acoustic/ thermal or other sensors; it would qualify as a stealth design. Shivalik class ships show up as ships of ~ 1/2 to 1/4 the original displacement. An enemy aircraft at a distance of X kms may think it is a corvette and not a frigate based on the signature described! However the main advantage is late detection as over a period of time, the enemy threat libraries get updated to detect new signatures. However lower signatures allow these ships to stay undetected for longer periods in any specific threat environment or get closer to targets while remaining undetected.

 

[Quick MIK]

we need to induct more like these.

its not that if a plane or ship is described as Stealth means its invisible. It indiactas that the signature is grately reduced and to detect it you need to come closer.
In general a ASW platform will detect a ship from about 450km. But for a stealth ship this range is greatly reduced to say 200km. This will give the stealth platform to have a first shot to launch its missiles.
