Seven P17A Frigates are under various stages of construction at MDL and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE).

[This ship has been built using Integrated construction methodology which involves hull blocks construction in different geographical locations and integration/erection on Slipway at MDL.

[…]

The indigenously designed P-17A ships will have state-of-the-art weapons, sensors, an advanced action information system, an integrated platform management system, world class modular living spaces, sophisticated power distribution system and a host of other advanced features. It will be fitted with supersonic surface-to-surface missile system]. (MoD)

(…)
The frigates are built with extensive use of low-observability technologies, including new radar-absorbing coatings, composite materials and “faceted” shape superstructures.

The ship will be fitted with a 76mm main super rapid mount gun, two 30 mm AK-630M anti-aircraft artillery systems, two torpedo tubes, VLS launchers for 8 BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and 32 Barak-8 surface to air missiles.

Project 17A frigates main characteristics:
Displacement: 6,670 tons
Length: 149 meters
Width: 17,8 meters
Draft: 5,22 meters
Speed: 28 knots
Range: 5,500 nautical miles
Crew: 226 sailors

Those 32 VLS should have been divided into two types. 16 for Air Defense and 16 to carry long range land attack cruise missiles

Those 32 VLS should have been divided into two types. 16 for Air Defense and 16 to carry long range land attack cruise missiles

Total 40 VLS not 32
(32 Barak 8 + 8 BrahMos)

Without kashtan its not good ciws point defense.

 

[MH.Yang]

Is the P17A not in service yet?

As I recall it started construction in 2018. Five years isn't enough time to build a frigate?

Five years is enough time for China to build two aircraft carriers.

Total 40 VLS not 32
(32 Barak 8 + 8 BrahMos)

What about its anti-submarine missiles? Please describe it.

The quality of Chinese warships are well known...

Are Chinese Naval Ships Poorly Designed?

The pace at which the Chinese Navy is building new surface combatants and commissioning them is mind blowing. They are commissioning multiple massive surface combatants and a few submarines every y…

The SMART torpedo system and why DRDO is calling it 'game changer' in anti-submarine warfare

Defence experts say the SMART torpedo system will change anti-submarine warfare tactics to a large extent, if not completely.

You mean the P17A doesn't have anti-submarine missiles and you're banking on future smart torpedoes?
