Finally, a Chinese major warship that Indian Navy has no equivalent. 055 trumps anything Indian Navy can throw.
I know Indian will use a drawing board cruiser to try compete with a newly launched 055 warship.
Self delusion. PLAN can enter IO at will and sink any IN warship whenever China likes. We have powerful warship like 055 while IN has nothing to match.
Lol.You thing having a greater missile load makes u invincible?
Kolkata's MF-STAR israeli radar is better,its ACTAS atlas elktronik active towed array sonar is better,the brahmos is also better than any missile the chinese have(particularly after the removal of range restrictions and increase range from 500-700 kms) and finally chinese don't have anything comparable to the barak-8 which is in the class of aster.
As for Kolkata class,there is enough space to easily double the number of barak-8s as necessary during a refit.
You have built a powerful ship no doubt,but it gives you no great advantage in ASW at all,u think u can sail into IOR with an armada and hope to survive when IN will shatter u from all 3 directions- surface of the sea with our surface fleet with brahmos and klubs,from the air P-8 poseidons with harpoons and sukhois from andaman and south india carrying brahmos in salvoes.And from underwater kilo and akula with klub,scorpene with exocets.Andaman is our unsinkable carrier we can control the shipping in the entire region basing land- based anti-ship missiles as well as sukhois there(backed up by those from south india).A few more missiles on a bigger ship doesnt change the fact that any armada entering IOR with hostile intentions will be faced with a overwhelming attack from 3 dimensions.
So better pipe down and focus on uncle sam in the scs,because if war breaks out it will not be american carriers that will break you it will be the USN SSN fleet that will slaughter PLAN.
Feel free to pop up once in a while with a couple of subs or a ship in the IOR to get some PR and catch some headlines,reassure pakistani fanboys u exist as a factor in the IOR however illusory that may be,but don't get delusional on trying to challenge IN in IOR,u have enough on your hand in scs as it is.Try that and not only will you fail regardless of if u have a 20,000 tonne cruiser but will also drive India completely to the US camp,and complete the strategic encirclement of china.
