What's new

Indo Israel MRSAM (Barak 8) is ready for deployment.

64 Barak missles per large warship with 360.degree coverages up to ,70.km range

Phew very nice indeed

Add 16 brahmos for offence...

What a combo !

but there is an article posted few days ago said that Kolkata Class doesn't have enough missile to defend it compared to ships in similar class...

But it's here that the INS Kolkata has a rather inexplicable design feature. At the moment, she is designed to carry only 32 Barak surface-to-air missiles, considerably fewer missiles than similar modern destroyers already in service in Europe and the US. Though the Navy says the number of missiles being carried is optimal, the lack of additional Barak missiles seems rather underwhelming considering the capabilities of the MF-STAR radar that the Kolkata class embarks.

It's like giving a soldier a brilliant new rifle but throwing in just a handful of bullets. Compare this with surface-to-air missile fits of comparable warships already in service: the Indian Navy's own considerably smaller Shivalik class frigates carry 32 Barak 1 surface-to-air missiles and 24 Russian Shtil-1 missiles. The even smaller Russian-built Talwar class frigates carry 64 missiles (24 Shtil-1 and 40 9M311 missiles). Internationally, the somewhat larger South Korean KDX-3 class destroyers are armed with more than 100 surface-to-air missiles. As a primary escort of India's aircraft carriers, the Vikramaditya, the Viraat and the under-construction Vikrant, which it is meant to protect from missile attacks, the Kolkata class, in its present configuration seems clearly undergunned.

On INS Kolkata, PM is Only Partially Correct

they said 32 Barak and not 64..Am I missing something???possibly the article is all wrong..

:undecided: what the hell!!!!!!!!

That's good enough, can India make Barak 8 by DRDO?

It will be developed by collaboration of IAI, Rafael and ELTA (of Israel) and DRDO of India and will be manufactured in Israel using IAI manufacturing facilities and delivered to India.
 
.
How many units of Barak-8 that Kolkota carry at once?
Well at present it's 32-48 plus around 16 Barak-1 point defence missiles.In future it can easily carry around 64 Barak-8 missiles as it has a 64 cell VLS plus 16-32 Barak 1 Short range missiles which can be intgrated in place of the CIWS(just like what we have done in the Delhi class Destroyers) if the Navy decides to get rid of 2 of the 4 AK-630M CIWS in near future.
