India has an overcapacity as far as cement goes. We have a capacity of 323 MT and according to the last DIPP report, it is set to increase to 479 MT by 2017. The total capacity utilization is at ~ 75% and therefore, there is an over supply in the market currently (despite high growth...
Indian SF units lacked dedicated transports to move them to any location requiring rapid action (like Mumbai). The new aircrafts will allow Indian SF units to be deployed anywhere in India or neighboring countries as required without having to get clearance and necessary support from IAF.
Well actually not! If you listen in to the discussion with the correspondent, she refers to a 30 minute documentary she made on Satpura (similar and probably much better than the NDTV fiasco). It is just that DD material does not normally come into youtube that easily! Waiting for Ajai to...
Lol... An article citing Sengupta as their expert analyst belongs in the dustbin! The entire article is flawed. While it is quite true that the BMD system as is far from perfect and has major limitations, but that is true for most other rudimentary BMD systems out there. Saraswat has actually...
Coming back to the topic, here is a ntv special on the Vik with good visuals. If someone could provide subtitles, it would be great!

Nice ship. I hope IN goes for a couple more extended versions with 6-8 pumping stations (instead of 4).
Ofcourse. I thought you were talking about the antennas per say. Hopefully the future iterations (P-17A/ P-15A/B) will have better superstructure design (read integrated mast system). The fact that the future P-17A and P-15A are both going for Barak indicates that this is possible thanks to the...
I don't think that they will have a big impact on the RCS. Moreover, being transparent to radio waves, the housing itself should have a minimal impact on the RCS of the vessel. And at the end of the day, I would assume that the downside wrt RCS is more or less insignificant. Take a look at some...
More pics in case you feel starved for more ... ;)

Notice the new antennas being added to all IN ships. Does this have anything to do with the new naval satellite being launched? Possibly for massive amounts of secure data transmissions!!

The orange sections are the electronics/ weapons and structural elements which were present on the original Gorshkov and have been removed now to convert the same into a STOBAR capable ship. And from the tonnage (I presume) from the images, it would seen that the new elements added on to the...
