Which level playing field they need after this?
The journey of Barak 8 has been an iterative one. When first unveiled, the range was only 70 KM, incrementally increasing to about 90 KM and 100 KM.The ER has range of 150 KM and the missile is not operational in any of indian platforms as of today.
The Original Manufacturer Official website link:
The most modern indian operational frigates (3 of Shivalik Class) has Barak-1 missile with range of 12 KMs.
The Kolkata / Visakhapatnam destroyers have Barak-8 missiles (LRAD) with 70 Km range.
Here is official manufacturer link: https://www.iai.co.il/p/barak-lrad
They'll be replaced with VL-SRSAMThe most modern indian operational frigates (3 of Shivalik Class) has Barak-1 missile
Other frigates like Talwar has 70's Shtil missiles without VLS
Among the Major technologies, India has developed the Dual Pulse Rocket Motor, Pnenumatic Actuation System, Safe and Arm for Rocket Motor.But all the products being made by DRDO… we’ll let DRDO’s track record speak for itself
BMD VLS are fully integrated on INS AnveshVideo of the new missile
Terminal phase thrusters should help it deal more effectively with targets such as ballistic missiles or the Brahmos Missile in its high altitude cruise phase. At 160 Km this missile would also out range any air defense missile, such as the Barak 8 in the Indian navy. And at 32 missiles each, the Type 054A/P would carry the same number of long range air defense as an Indian destroyer twice its tonnage.
Btw, how much does this missile weigh? What are the prospects of it being turned into an A2A missile, or at least some of its technologies applied to the PL-15 to improve it, should the Indians acquire the Aim-120D or a further development of the Meteor and hope to put range the PAF in BVR combat?
the H/AJK-16 does not have any compatible AShM's.Just 4 AShM?! Could have gone for all VLS for both SAM and AShM. Really poor use of space.
