EXCLUSIVE: Indian Navy's New Destroyer 'Kochi' Revealed

[shree835]

Will it be fitted with Brahmos 2 in the future?

Yes... It will be.

 

[ultron]

that old fashioned rear radar looks out of place compared to the Israeli AESA

 

[TOPGUN]

Looks really bad *** nice thanks for sharing .

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Too much space is left without any exploitation,I wonder why.

Enough space for 32 more barak-8 and nirbhay to be retrofitted in mid life refit if needed.Barak cells are very space efficient.

wouldn't it be better if in place of 32 barak 8 we add 32 long range sam and another couples of point defence sam

In mid life refit barak-8 missiles can be replaced by new barak-8 ER which is almost completed development with 150 km range.
Using point defence sam with barak-8 is useless because barak-8 is designed to act as both point defence sam as well as fleet defence weapon.Its special in the sense that the missile can intercept as close as 500 metres from the ship which is same as a point defence weapon.For close defence the ships also have 4 ak-630 CIWS gatling cannons.
Important is to add nirbhays as that would add a land attack capability with a standoff range of over 1000 kms.

Arey 32 ki bol6o bhai!!Ja jaega a6e,tate to 70-80 ta easily dhore jabe...........16 ta Nirbhay-r jonno space baki rekheo!!

Na otota nei.32 more barak-8 and max 6-8 nirbhay.
Nirbhay will take up lot of space.Notice the picture on the OP ,notice difference in size between brahmos vls cells and barak vls cells.Nirbhay cells will be comparable to brahmos cells in size.

Still,I would say a ground launched version of the Astra,as a supplementary medium range system won't hurt.You can put much greater number of these in a ship compared to Barak 2ER,which will save the later for longer range engagements,like against air crafts.

[born]

76 mm main gun . We need bigger 127.0 mm bad boys .

 

[Mustang06]

Can Nirbhay and Brahmos mounted in same launcher like a universal launcher?

pretty common for bigger navies to leave extra space in their destroyers/vessels for future equipment that can potentially take up more space

 

[ravi kiran]

great ship...

First ship is already been launched

when it was launched? what is her name?

 

[Agent_47]

76 mm main gun . We need bigger 127.0 mm bad boys .

Already ordered, will be fitted with in first mid life upgrade .

 

[$@rJen]

great ship...


when it was launched? what is her name?

INS Vizagapatinam... Launched first half of this year man...

Can Nirbhay and Brahmos mounted in same launcher like a universal launcher?

Yes... Brahmos is bigger than Nirbhay..but the same diameter
