OK INS Kolkata maybe having 64 barak 8s, just got a mail from Ajai Shukla also regarding the same. He says : 32 VLS cells ready to fire and 32 missiles for reload 2 Defence Analysts saying the same thing cannot be lying right?

JACKPOT! Barak Quote: The Rafael-made vertical launchers are each 2.55 m × 37.6 cm × 30 cm and weigh 110 kg with the efflux conducted from the bottom through two channels to the top of the launcher. The launchers may be distributed individually or clustered around the ship either above or...

So the official from L&T was lying? Really Penguin you are the only sensible think tank on PDF. o_O He was working on the damn ship! Infact I was very skeptical when he said that the ship had just got 32 missiles. I told him that this was very narrow minded on their part, given INS Delhi has 48...

Just remembered something. This Defence Expo 2014 I spoke to an official who represented L&T. He said the complement is as follows : 1 X 76mm SRGM 4 X 30mm CIWS 2 X RBU 6000 2 X Twin 533mm Torpedo Tube 16 X Brahmos Missile 32 X Barak 8 VLS and the ship carries 16 more Barak 8 as spare. I...

There are two different types of VLS there, one UVLM and the other Barak 8 VLS. Both have hell and heaven difference. Spacing becomes a problem for such different cells. One thing for sure Barak 8 carried is more than 32.

Depend on system. Space is also a concern. VLS space is in sufficient.

Bro got an interesting piece of news. Remember the space between Brahmos and barak 8 VLS? Thats where the canisters for Barak 8 are stored! The logic behind this is in a CBG replenshing facilities are at strain so the little mechanism, comes in handy.

We already have welcoming committee ready for them! MESS WITH THE BEST DIE LIKE THE REST!

Checked the part on 24 other VLS cells for type 26, correcto, position has been moved to back though in 2013 design! Problem is two well known defence analysts Ajay Shukla and Prasun K Sengupta both mention 64 Barak 8 missiles. Infact Ajay Shukla is an authority on the P 15A project, owing to...

You also forgot to mention they have to carry ASROC that can kill submarines at sea. CY-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia That takes 16 more cells leaving 32 for SAM. HHQ 9/ HHQ 16 missiles will be placed in those and give area defence protection between 40 - 125 km depending on the...

The Type 26 also has similar mechanism. It can carry 24 CAMM missile canisters along with the full length 24 CAMM VLS. The missiles are stored in the hold. Reason why the replenisher don't carry it is because replenishers also carry fuel, so carry such equipment in the hold in Sea State 5 or...

We are already using this. It is called the UVLM ( Universal Vertical Launcher Module ).

Please don't post such BS on this website. Even if there are aliens they will not be coming to India to help upgrade our Indian Railways!

Alright little news for everyone! Kolkata Class has 64 Barak 8 missiles! 32 in 4 X 8 cell VLS and it also has 32 rounds internally stored! This is what Prasun K Sengupta had to say : The P-15A DDG does have only 32 VLS cells for the Barak-2 LR-SAM—twin eight-cell mounts fore & another...

Take a look at USN Aircraft fleet. Multirole is one thing, being good for a role is another.

Guys 1 more detail. This is actually a submarine ship hybrid. Like Kilo class it launches Klub missiles through it's torpedo tubes.

LCA -> Interceptor / Point Defence / Harrier type replacement MiG 29K -> Air Superiority / Strike Role

We have dhanush and dozens of JV guns, even kalyan forge.

1) So the ship is basically a bloody submarine? Launching Klubs from the torpedo tubes? Wow! 2) FDI in defence (49%) will help a lot!
