2 things to ask
1> So P 15B has 48 LRSAM 16 X 2 and 16 x 1 ?
2> How can you say IN has no AAW? It has Shtil 1s in it's ship with 32 KM range, Barak 8s with 70km range, the collective numbers in a Carrier Group is very high!
Hey guys, got an idea while thinking about the P 15B class. The P 15 A and P 15B are virtually identical right?
Even VSR is now shown to be the same. So I kinda looked at the pic and came to a pretty surprising conclusion.
If you guys see the first two cavities they look like the 8 cell Brahmos...
India is NOT bashing the BJP. The group of pissed off liberals who wanted Congress/ AAP to win are now going bonkers and looking for evidence to promote the "Hindutva Takeover Angle".
The topic they are frenzied about is Sania Mirza becoming ambassador of Telengana. her performance is going...
Couple of minutes ago you said VLS cannot be replenished at sea unless there was crane. Now I give you proof. What if a similar mechanism is being used to load the missiles? Can you stake your wife/mother/daughter 's life on your claim there isn't one?
PS : I have no interest in liberal media...
I don't understand the fuss either, take INS Aditya or the INS Deepak, make sure it's at Sea State 3 or less, swing out the canister and take out the new one stored in INS Kolkata's hold. Make the switch and pull away. During proacted campaign you cannot make port as that would make you a...
That Harry B is the guy who said it about INS Viraat carrying the missiles!BTW I spoke to the oficial so unless you have blueprints of INS Kolkata by which you can show me anything else than internet snippets, the jurys out on this one!
I DIDN'T SAY RELOADING MECHANISM! I said extra rounds carried on board! I personally spoke with said official who was with that model of INS Kolkata at the L&T stall. Infact next to it there was the diagram of the mini sub tender and a model of an underwater UAV.
My question was just that, why...
Like in the last debate , I agree this 32 round thing is uncertain but what I simply cannot understand is so many reputed people simply saying contrary to what you suggest.
IN does not spend too much money upgrading old systems unless it is something dramatically new! The Rajput Class was...
Indian bureaucracy at it's best, but these guys do have better sources than mainstream media who simply look up wikipedia.
1> Very short range 12 KM
2> Can intercept supersonic targets around 6 km only.
3> Requires Elta m-2221 fire control radar for targetting.
4> Expensive and not...
Either way we carry 64 Barak 2s after a big showdown with PLAN the surviving vessels can restock and maximize their presence!
PS : IN is quite wierd in their planning. Don't rule out info unless there is an official quote from them! They conveted Baku a STOVL/VTOL carrier into a CTOL carrier.
How can two people give the same explanation to a similar problem? FRV always accompany the ship with a crane! In the USN the ships used a strike down crane module that was hidden below the deck and used to clear spent casings. But because of limited weigh carrying capacity and sea state issues...
I asked Ajai Shukla in mail. He said same exact thing. Even at defence expo 2014 officials said another 16 - 32 rounds can be carried on board. Remember this is not MK 41 or other western VLS. Hence this arrangement can happen. Infact look at the picture and compare for yourself.
