It has what is in the VLS cells. When load is expended, it is back to port, or alongsde a base ship in some sheltered bay for reloading. That's it. So, at present, 2x8 cells for Brahmos/Club and 4x8 cell for Barak-8

Sir do you believe there is space to Increase the number of cells for BARAK 8s. I think it's seriously low for 32 Sam for a decent destroyer class. At least it should had have 48 cells. Your views sir?

I too have the same question, the newly inducted destroyer are under armed compared to the tonnage they have, 64 Baraks are minimum requirement for ships of 7K+ tons. But I have seen that there are room left on the deck for further update, I don't know why they have left so much space on Kolkata class.

Depends. If Barak-8 has a higher probability of kill with 1 missile, whereas other missiles might routinely be fired in salvo's of 2 to achieve the same probability of kill, then 32 may well be sufficient. I believe for Buk/Shtil, it is common practice to fire 2 missiles per target, just to be sure?

From the point of view of deck space, I would think another 2x8 barak-8 could be accommodated. But I have no way of looking inside the ship. Barak-8 launcher penetrates at least 2 decks deep due to greater missile length (compared to 1 for Barak 1). Perhaps some Barak-1 as inner layer defence are more easily possible.

I too have the same question, the newly inducted destroyer are under armed compared to the tonnage they have, 64 Baraks are minimum requirement for ships of 7K+ tons.

How do you arrive at that compulsion (i.e. what standard are you measuring)

If B-8 has the 100% killing accuracy then I think 32 might just be enough, but comparing the Kolkata class with Type 052D, Atago class or Type 45 UK, I think SAMs deployed on Kolkata are not enough.

But I have saw in some of the posts that there are spaces left on the deck for further upgradation.
