Reason being it came down to 3000/full load tons was because of the material used in construction of the boat(300 tons of weight reduction from official site). Sorry as I do browsing using my Lenovo mobile, so providing link is difficult. However I can guide you to the link using keywords in Google and the site names where these details are shared. Further please refer to India today 30 Dec 2015 edition for more details, it's available online.Maybe so, but I see no evidence of the 3rd or the 4th ship actually being different. The 3000 tons listed for the thrid ship in e.g. Wiki may just be the same in long tonnes rather than short, which implies no real difference in displacement.
3 000 ton [long, UK] = 3 360 ton [short, US]
3 000 ton [metric] = 3 306.933 932 8 ton [short, US]
This would explain the relationship between displacements listed in Wiki for the third and the fourth ships, respectively 3000 and 3300, as kompared to 3400 for the first pair.
Assuming they are all in metric tons, what is the explanation for the 2 (not 1) differences: 3400 versus 3000 and 3400 versus 3300? Why is the fourth back at 3300 whereas the third is down at 3000?
Also, while Barak-8 on Kormorta for Vietnam was mentioned with source (though not yet confirmed fro multiple indipendent sources), there is no mention anywhere ( that I know of, but please feel free to provide source reference) that states that IN P28 ships will be getting Barak-8: that is a whole new discussion.
Maitri (a MICA based Indian SR-Sam will be just over 3m long, not 4.5m like Barak-8 and that is a significant difference, considering Barak has a length of 2.1. One can accommodate the Maitri by using the same underdeck volume as Barak-1 and having the launcher stick up 'above deck'. For Barak-8 you will definitely need to penetrate into and occupy another deck below where the current below deck space is reserved for a VL missile (Barak-1).
Further please refer to few posts back of the link business standard where INS Kamorta with BARAK 8 confirmation is provided. However Kamorta and 2nd boat will get BARAK in first mid life upgrade.
Even IANS has reported it. Feel free to post your questions.
