The above pictures remind me of some photos posted on IDF.

All that @ an altitude of 6000 mtrs.

what are they doing?

The AESA mast and the rear radar are not consistent. Please upgrade the rear radar to 21st century technology.

P-15B will look a lot more "cleaner", stealthier, less cluttery like the P-17A.

The design itself is actually good, but we tend to use too many external mounted weapons and antennas, which clearly must interfere with a aim to reduce the RCS, here a Fremm class for comparison:

Formindable class too

P-17A

 

[Superboy]

P17A won't be inducted till after 2025.

Not that long.

Not that long.

Hopefully, its not like another Kalkata class destroyer. The ship maybe completed quickly. But takes over 8+ years to fitted it out, test it and induct it.

True on external weapons,but Fremm's Radar mount is lower in height than kolkata giving lesser coverage?

P-17A

That's just a pic how it "might" look like, but check similar pics of P15:

Looks much cleaner than the actual pic shows right? The anti sub rockets alone are a bad idea imo when it comes to RCS reductions. There must be a better way to house them behind coverings or in a shaped launcher and as much stealthy shaped the main radar is, what's the use when the rear radar is just a basic old design without any reductions at all?

Thats because the weapons systems[heavy torpedo and SAM-barak 8]were in development and ALSO modular construction was not used.
Newer ships will use both modular construction and developed and tested weapons platforms giving much quicker time.
