Stealth frigate INS Sahyadri enters Da Nang port in Vietnam

What about the covering on the port-side towards the front?

I think that's a gangway that can be folded out and lowered to service the ship's boats..

I mean forward of that- above the "F48" marking

What is this thing?
The opening above the.marking

People in BR were saying that this.might be an opening for TT

 

[GR!FF!N]

do we have similar system??

 

[danger007]

They even rush to launch a flat top empty shell carrier and claim it like a milestone. In China, we only mark the special occasion when it fully developed all its capabilities with commissioning ceremony. Are the indians trying to prove something?

what about leaked pics of j.... floating casino?? why can't your argument only on tech related stuff rather than personal attacks and shitty comments. ..

No it isn't. As indicated, that is a folding gangway. There are no other visible apertures except for the opening on the other side of the ship which I was inquiring about. Does anybody have a good close up of this part of the ship on the opposite side?

This is what you have on Kolkata class

This is what you have on the Talwar's : a trainable twin tube installation on each flank.

This is what you have on Delhi and Rajput classes, a single trainable 5 tube installation amidships

These trainable ITTL on the flanks of Kamorta corvette

@Penguin

last Kamorta pic isn't visible..

and I do believe Shivalik has similar configuration like Talwar's as both uses same Torpedo tubes in same number.

That was what I was looking to see on the STARBOARD side front superstructure aperture.

Where on the P17 are the tubes located? (I can't locate them)

Armament
The main gun on the P17 is a 76.2 mm Super Rapid Gun Mount (SRGM) made under license from OTO Melara of Italy. In the air defence role, a combination of missiles and guns will be used. For medium range anti-air coverage, a single 3S-90 launcher mount for the Shtil 1 SAM system with 24 missiles is employed. The Shtil SAM system fires the 9M317E missile. Maximum engagement are greater than 32 km. For anti-ship missiles, the maximum engagement range is reduced to 10 to 12 km. Four targets can be simultaneously engaged, one with each 3R90 director.

For the CIWS (Close In Weapon System) role, the ship was originally designed for two Kashtan Air Defence Gun/Missile mounts but this has since been superseded by the now standard Barak + AK 630M comination.

As with the Talwar Class, long range strike weapons are Klub-N family of missiles in eight vertical launch cells. For ASW, twin RBU-6000 launcher firing 90R and RGB-60 rockets are fitted. Curiously, there are no onboard torpedo launchers. Given the flexibility of the Klub system, it is entirely possible that 91RE2 ASW missile may be employed for anti-submarine operations. Two Sea King sized helicopters can be embarked for ASW and ASuW duties.

Project 17 (Shivalik) Class - Bharat Rakshak :: Indian Navy

Essentially, it relies on the helicopters for ASW and RBU-6000 for selfprotection. Given only 1 8-cell VLU, I very much doubt it would carry more than 4 911RE2 at any given time. More then 4 would mean no AShM which - without backup by heavy weight torps - leaves the ship unable to do any serious damage to another ship (helicopter launched AShM excepted)

It really is a conundrum....

Portside

Gangway

Starboard (note 3 bars across the opening > no way there's a topedo launcher there)

I thought it was 6 seconds?

Once again irrelevant to your "most" assumption. Shtil slanted launcher is only used onboard 4 Chinese Sov and 2 Type 052B destroyer vs 17 commission Type054A using Chinese VLS. I am wondering your "most" how do they come abt? Maybe you have some calculation mishap or biased view? I do know you are a IN lover and hated PLAN advancement to core. A poor sourgraped you are.

Chinese VLS or not those are Russian varient Shtil missiles under license production.

@Penguin

it is possible that It lacks Dedicated Torpedo Launcher.But Every site except BR reported 2 × 2 DTA-53-956 torpedo launchers.

But what BR suggested is that Shivalik Class possibly going to use Klub N-91RTE2 which is an Anti Submarine Surface Ship Launched Missile.But I doubt Shivalik lacks Torpedo Launchers,as every single link is suggesting otherwise.

anyway,I've found another one...

this source is from SIPRI..

it shows A244/S NST58 torpedo was purchased for Shivalik Class Frigate.

A244-S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This Lightweight torpedo can be launched either from Ship or Aircraft.but no mention of Klub Anti Sub Missile.
