2022 would be an good year to IN.

2 Scorpene Subs,
1 SSBN INS Arighat,
1 AC INS Vikrant,
1 destroyer INS Marmagoa,
1 Talwar class and one Nilgiri class frigates.
Last P8I. MH60 and Dhruv helis remaining. Do228 etc.
Hopefully they will sign for 30 UAVs with US.

7 main principal combatants.

There might be other support vessels likely to be inducted. But IN generally inducts 3 major surface vessels every year.

 

[Turingsage]

This year OCEANSAT 3 will also be launched by ISRO to keep a close eye on combatant's in the Indian ocean and the Gulf

I don't know. But Vagir is definitely going to see trials this year. And every 6 months subs are going to trials and vela was in trials since last year. So Vagir might be end of 2022.

As for coastal asw corvettes I don't know when the first of the 16 would be inducted.

There is no INS Vishal. Shishumar is going to be retired. Delhi class might be retired. So does Veer class.

Only 3? Are you kidding me?

 

[Arulmozhi Varman]

Average of 3 major surface combatants. I already mentioned in another post, that I am not mentioning support assets or ships like Tugs, small shallow water crafts, helis, etc.

Just take the example of 2021. We inducted one sub, one destroyer and one frigate.

In 2023, as of now, the plan is one destroyer, 2 frigates and probably one shallow water anti sun craft.

Did you mean 2022 or 2023?

 

[Arulmozhi Varman]

2023. We would see 7 in 2022.

 

[Samar111]

2023. We would see 7 in 2022.

Thank you for your answers.

We need Rafale fighter jets for our aircraft carriers. Mig-29k is simply not good enough. My dream would be to see F-35 on our carriers.

sorry make that ins vikramaditya. Well I dont think Delhi class will be retired so soon they were commisioned just two decades ago. Shishumar class could be retired yes.
