Super Dvora MK II Patrol Boats Operated by Indian Navy:

The Super Dvoras are exceptionally good craft in their assigned roles. I've seen the Israeli Navy's Super Dvoras providing coastal defences at Hefa, Ashdod and Eilat. Very effective.
The IN would do well to use these craft not only around their MOBs as they are doing now but also around the Island archipelagos.

MAZAGON DOCK CRANE

I believe this is one of the kolkata class

Still rusting away in the dockyard？

It has been god-knows-how-many-years since the ship was “launched”，no no no，floated out。

It will take at least 5 more years before it is good for delivery。

Oh，I almost forget to share with you the following：

Tangled in red tape, India's submarine fleet sinking
Rajat Pandit, TNN Jun 9, 2013, 03.14AM IST

NEW DELHI: The navy's desperate attempts to rescue its sinking underwater combat arm have been dealt a double whammy. First, the ongoing project to construct six Scorpene submarines has been delayed by another 14-18 months, with the first vessel now slated to roll out of Mazagon Dock Limited(MDL) by November 2016 at the earliest.

Barak-8 Missiles to Defend Gas Production Rigs at Sea

According to the updated plans for protecting Israel’s offshore gas rigs, the Israeli Navy will equip the rigs with Barak missiles for defense against Yakhont missiles. The gas rigs are located at a distance of nearly 80 miles from the coasts of Israel, and near the coasts of Lebanon...

...The Barak-8 system includes an advanced C2 center, developed by IAI’s Mabat Missiles factory. The system integrates mission management towards managing an individual fire system or managing fire from several units in parallel. The Barak-8 has a radar system that presents a 360-degree hemispheric picture, above the vessel or the vessel layout. It has a high resolution and can detect missiles with a very low radar cross section area. The system is also suitable for countering naval “seaskimming” cruise missiles, as well as threats to aircraft or helicopters.

The Barak-8 missile is single-staged: the missile has fixed stabilizers in its lower section and driving surfaces in its bow. The interceptors are stabilized with carrying and launch containers, which are fixed vertically below the deck of the missile boats. Once a target is received, the missile is launched vertically and immediately transitions to horizontal flight in order to hit and destroy the target, while receiving indications and data from the vessel’s guidance system. Once the target is within range of its self-detection systems, it locks on it and destroys it. The interceptor possesses advanced homing capabilities, suitable for intercepting aircraft and missiles flying at a low altitude above the water, in all weather conditions...
