tdayof:


Are those RA&W agents too?

nemesis2u:
INS CHENNAI COMMISSIONED YESTERDAY a kolkata class destroyer each costs more than half a billion dollars.

MikeCZA:
1. RG-35

2. Ugl..iest UAV ever.

don't forsake us nemesis2u we are migrats from a certain thread.

giles14:
imagine a ship labeled a destroyer with only 32 missile.

d ship is a waste

MikeCZA:
1. RG-35

nemesis2u:
now is the right time to take off

jln115:
You don't understand how much i wish the SANDF can acquire the RG35 to replace our Mamba and Casspir fleets!

nemesis2u:
a ship is labelled as a destroyer generally on the basis of her tonnage and also capability .

it is of the same class as an aegis class destroyer in terms of her sensors.

it has 4 × 8 cell VLS, for a total of 32 barak sam

it has additional space provision for 4 x 8 cell VLS, for a total of 32 barak-ER sam (this one will be lengthier due to addition of booster)

it has 2 × 8 cell UVLM for 16 BrahMos

it has additional space provision for 1 x 8 cell VLS, for a total of 8 nirbhay cruise missile

in addition to
1 × 76 mm gun
4 × AK-630 CIWS
4 × 533 mm Torpedo tubes
2 × RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launchers

in the future it will have
SAM -64
SSM/AShM-24
so total load out - 88 missiles

also barak sam is a dual purpose missile it can act as a CIWS/point defense system against sea skimming AShM missiles since its minimum engagement range is < 500 meters in addition to its primary role of air defense . therefor it negates the need for additional point defense missiles like RIM-162 ESSM, Aster 15, CAMM etc.

by ur logic a soldier carrying many guns/ammo/grenades etc will be a better and deadlier soldier ?

presently indian navy area of operation is the indian ocean only , and ships r designed keeping the operational requirements. no point in wasting money and resources. indian navy is not going to fight america or russia

Government negligence hurts Indian defence

The Indian government has framed the acquisition of 36 French Rafale Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) as a major event. It comes as part of a purported military build-up and wildfire expansion of military spending by the world’s largest importer of arms. But the acquisition represents an abject failure of India’s strategic planning—yet another worrying instance of India’s deficiencies in defence acquisitions.It is significant that the Rafale deal was originally ‘finalised’ for 126 aircraft and included a provision for manufacture in India for all but the first consignment of 18 planes, at a total cost of US$10.2 billion. This has been pared down to the present number of 36 aircraft at a somewhat inexplicable cost of about US$8.7 billion. That aside, the reality is that since three squadrons were phased out in January 2016, the IAF has had just 32 operational squadrons against an authorised capacity of 45.

The Rafale deal will not offset even a fraction of the current attrition. Five squadrons of the early MiG-21 variants — nearly 100 aircraft — will be phased out in early 2017. The first Rafale aircraft in the present transaction will be delivered in 2019, and the last of these two and a half years later. Around this time, unless radical steps are taken to correct the existing anomalies, the IAF may well be down to an operational strength of just 25 squadrons. Even under the most optimistic estimates, the IAF’s capacity can only rise to about 38 squadrons.

Shortly after the conclusion of the agreement to import the 36 Rafale fighters, India floated an offer to purchase 200 combat aircraft from foreign manufacturers under a ‘made in India’ arrangement. 140 indigenously manufactured Tejas fighters are also due for delivery, but the project has been delayed by at least three years and the IAF has currently only received two of the promised aircraft. Wide-ranging negotiations with many international producers are ongoing, but given India’s lackadaisical military acquisition processes and a habitually obstructive and scandal-ridden bureaucracy, it is not clear when these initiatives will bear fruit.

The Air Force is not unique in this regard: all three arms of the Indian Armed Forces are hobbled by enduring and endemic deficits. There are shortages of battleships and submarines through to fighter planes and helicopters (a combined deficit of more than1000), even down to mundane supplies such as ammunition, assault rifles and boots. According to one estimate, the Indian military has a US$400 billion equipment deficit, and even more would be required ‘to raise the military to necessary force levels and to modern standards’.
