It is pure frustration on China's part. Seeing a China - India relationship as an icewall that is impenetrable, they have resorted to this bullshit. Like a communist with narrow eyes, yellow bellies and lily livered tactics.
They think showing a bullshit "Made In China" map recognized by no...
Barak 8 is for one job only, stop any aircraft in it's range and take out any missiles heading towards ship. HHQ 9 has a range of 125Km as per chinese brochures. It is for area defence agreed but against a sea level hugging super sonic cruise missile, fairly useless. We could have easily bought...
Pakistan Navy is moving to a strategy involving FAC and patrol boats. IN is moving to a strategy involving destroyers, frigates and corvettes as surface craft.
Question is in littoral environment where gunships are commonly used. Do such aircraft with no Anti Air missile still be effective. A...
Type 055 will be inferior to P15B and Arleigh Burke Flt III.
Flt III will be the best warship of them all 10000 - 11000 tons.
P 15B same tonnage but not as good sensors or weapons.
China is known for it's junk. Shit like the Ming class submarines are famous for their underwater activities...
Hey bro I think the vessel you showed is the one on display at expo. It appears to be a modified Saryu Class vessel.
It has 8 KH 35 AShM missiles, 1 76mm gun and 2 30mm CIWS. Helicopter can do ASW duty.
KH 35 "Switchblade"
Range 130 Km
Speed Mach 0.8
Warhead 145 kg
Can take down vessels upto...
Simple fact, P28 has superior sensors. Armament wise also superior. True only a few will be built but they are actually frigate going by armament and tonnage. It is named corvette for name only.
I hope you realize that is also type 056. The no of pics available of Kamorta are less. Latest are...
How is it more effective? By tonnage it is 3 Type 056 rolled into one. As for Kora class other than ASW and sensors role it is superior in every aspect to Type 056. Even in ASW role it has a helicopter for those purposes. Currently Type 056 has none.
For comparison :

Very good but with such a limited range, it won't do any good other than serve in Littoral waters. If someone tries to invade , very effective, else no.

No engine change till MK3. This version will only have minor avionics changes. No radar or engine change. Radar will be upgraded for a terrain following mode.
Hey bud, do you think this ship will launch 533mm Klub Anti Ship missiles from it's torpedo tubes? Most submarines can like the Kilo Class. It has 6 533mm torpedo tubes too many for even a frigate. Also SIPRI says a couple were delivered for Project 28 or Kamorta Class.
That ToT with the panther was what India got for Bofors. You CAN make your own version but it is mostly used to make spares and for maintenance. MKEK till now as on their website still manufacture the gun on their own.

Why can't we clear the blacklisted companies to participate again with a written contract and penalties involved, NO BLACKLISTING. The damn howitzers are simply not worth their price.
Even I know Scorpene , first one will be launched in 2015, commissioned in September 2016 after sea trial...
It's pretty much one of your M198A2 in a lighter role.
Regarding your inventory other than Panther nothing is very impressive even then as per MKEK it does 40km range.
It won't point at your troops if ever bought so don't worry.
M777 IS NOT WORTH 1 BN $ for 145 guns only.We need other more pressing priorities like submarines and heavy artillery.
