Hooters! AND I am not kidding, it is the emblem of development, its true emblem, and the day we have Hooters we will know we have arrived on the world stage.

A particularly impressive indigenous effort, I would not want to trade a SMART-L for it but its what it is.

It can be done but one VLU of the 8s will take up the space equivalent to 2 VLUs of the 1s. And it is not necessary to do so. As I have stated in this thread and in the one dealing with the 15A, there is space which has been left for retro-fitment, this space CAN be used for additional VLU...

Yes there are. So far:- 48 cells for LR-SAM (Whether 8 or 8ER no info) 16 cells for AShMs 2 Kavach chaff dispensers 2 Mareech ATDS dispensers No change is VSR, the model tender issued by MDL still sticks with the RAWL-02 VSR/ASR (which is the BIG disappointment). My own opinion, strictly in...

No one is arguing with that. The Barak-8 will do its job, that you can be sure of.

Whether you have the capability or not is not relevant in the strict context of my post, ONLY whether you have a system ready to go on board, that is where we stand on the same line (India, Korea and Japan). The context being that even with the sensors and munitions being imported (whether you...

Oh I have figured that in, we will have to import sensors whereas they will build it (for eg.), I am not referring to that, but to technology in terms of ship design and fabrication. Take a gander at what Pipavav or L&T can fabricate if given the right parameters and designs. It is in that...

IF that's a L-band VSR then they are opting for some amount of TBM interception capability, makes sense given how quickly the Japanese and the Koreans are moving with their AEGIS vessels. AGAIN! The only way the IN will opt for something like that is if resources and funds are allocated, it is...

A friend does not let a friend stray. :agree:

Yes, 16 BMOS will sink anything that deigns to step into Varuna's domain. That still does not equate to shredding an A/C with a single Bmos. The brochure very conveniently will state that so and so missile can be used to sink a carrier, which btw any AShM can be used for with differing...

This is typical brochure panti by the OEMs, the Americans and the Soviets both ran simulations, even if one disregards the AAW component it would take significant and multiple hits to sink a carrier. In fact @gambit can even show you the testing that was done on actual ships to reach that...

Bhai yeh tum kahaan se utha ke laye ho!? Single Bmos can shred an A/C, not a chance, an inbound with hypersonic terminal velocity won't be able to do that either. To "shred" an aircraft carrier you need a saturation attack. Desist from using hyperbole.

LOL! LOL! LOL! THAT IS NOT THE P-15B, ITS NOT THE TYPE-45 EITHER, ITS A FREMM.

@Hyperion @DESERT FIGHTER This particular post, in isolation from whatever else he may have stated and sans context, is apt and on the right! :mad:

IF modifications are made to the CIWS then yes it will be a combination of guns and SR-SAM like on the Delhis.

The missile count is not the real issue, 32 or 48 LR-SAM are still adequate, the sensor suite is the issue, the RAWL-02 simply cannot operate into the next decade.

@Penguin @he-man There is no confusion in the number of LR-SAM cells actually present on the 15A. Deducing the number is quite easy. We know that each VLU unit of the Brak-8 has 8 cells, this is the standard arrangement so far, although provisions exist for creating contiguous VLU cell farms...

16 cells of for Bmos or any other AShMs. 2*8 cells on the fore-deck for 16 cells of LR-SAM and 2*8 cells above the hangar for 16 more cells of LR-SAM Thus 48 cells in total, 16 for AShMs and 32 cells for LR-SAM. The P-15B will have 16 cells for AShMs and 48 cells for LR-SAM. Bare in mind...

There are no internal missiles in storage. Me, @Capt.Popeye and @Penguin have provided the relevant reasons why. 32 LR-SAM is still a good count, as long as their is a provision for a long range L-band ASR/VSR. And granted that the performance parameters of the LR-SAM concerned are adequate, at...

Yes, the 15B will accommodate 48 VLU cells for the Barak 8, IF the IN so chooses this can be further enhanced with another 16 VLU cells.
