[post=2301]Quoted post[/post]​

If you are reffering those missile firing pics from Delhi and Brahmaputra class then these are 3M-24E (SS-N-25 SWITCHBLADE) AShM missiles.

<div class='bbimg'>

</div>

The interior of the 3M-24E (SS-N-25 Switchblade) AShM

1. Active radar homing head
2. Penetrating warhead
3. Autonomous self-destruct system
4. Internal control system
5. Radio altimeter
6. Air intake
7. Fuel system units
8. Turbojet engine
9. Servo unit
10. Solid propellant rocket booster

The 3M-24E (also known as the Kh-35 Uran) AShM cruise missile can be used be on a variety of platforms against surface ships, fast attack patrol boats, coastal recon systems and transport ships of enemy convoys & landing forces. In terms of weight and dimensions, the missile is superior to any comparable foreign-made system. It is a subsonic flying vehicle with a conventional aerodynamic configuration featuring a half submerged tunnel-type air intake and X-shaped arrangement of wings and fins. The missile airframe is made from aluminium alloys. Its propulsion system comprises a small-size by-pass turbojet sustainer and jettisonable solid-propellant booster. An inertial guidance system controls the missile in flight, stabilizes it in the planned trajectory and leads it out onto an assumed target location.

The missile terminal guidance on a target, is effected with the aid of signals of a jam-proof active radar guidance system. A target is engaged by a penetrating high explosive fragmentation warhead, which is exploded in response to signals of the contact fuse. The 3M-24E can be unified with carriers, owing to its relatively small weight and dimensions. The maximum missile weight was stipulated in the design assignment as 500 to 600 kg.

A ship-borne version of the 3M-24E (weighing around 600 kg.) dramatically expands the combat capabilities of naval vessels as it provides for an increase in the ammunition load from four to 16 AShMs and may be even more, if the currently used missile systems are replaced, without increasing the displacement and impairing the applied naval architecture and habitability of the ship. The main objective of the ammunition load increase is to provide a massed strike, which represents one of the basic principles of combat employment of this class of anti-ship missile, thus creating the best conditions for a breakthrough of enemy air defences and making it possible to engage a target within the shortest possible time.

Currently this missile is installed on Delhi class Destroyers, Kora Class Corvettes, Brahamaputra Class Frigates, 2 Made in India VEER {TARANTUL I} CLASS Corvettes in Sixteen 3M-24E (Kh-35 Uran or NATO: SS-N-25 Switchblade) AShMs, housed in four quadruple KT-184 launchers, angled at 30º, two on either side of the bridge superstructure. Equivalent to the Harpoon Block 1C AShM, these missiles have active radar homing (ARH) out to a range of 130 km at 0.9 Mach, with a 145 kg warhead. All 16 missiles can be ripple-fired in 2-3 second intervals. The Delhi Class will be retrofitted with the GLONASS-steered, land-attack 3M24E1 Uranium AShM at a later date. The 3M24E1 AShM - export variant of the 3M24M1 - has more fuel, which extends range to 250 km.

Fire control for the missiles, is provided by a Garpun-Bal FC (NATO: Plank Shave) radar, mounted atop the bridge. This radar combines active and passive channels and in the active target designation mode, it operates in X-band (I/J-band) and can handle up to 150 targets at ranges between 35 - 45 km, although it is possible to obtain ranges of more than 180 km in wave-guide propagation conditions. The passive channel operates in the ESM mode searching for pulse and CW signals, and accurately identifying the bearing of hostile emitters from a built-in classification library of up to 1000 signatures. The maximum range of the passive channel is over 100 km depending on the frequency.

Thanks,

PROJECT 15A BANGALORE CLASS

Guided Missile Destroyer Stealth.

In May 2000, the government approved construction of three units of the Project 15A Bangalore Class destroyer. These vessels are a follow-on to the Type 15 Delhi Class destroyer and construction is expected to begin at Mazagon Dockyard Ltd. in 2005. The P15A destroyer will possess enhanced stealth features and land-attack capabilities and is expected to add a new dimension in naval warfare for the Indian Navy, along with the Talwar {Krivak III} Class destroyer and the &#39;new&#39; Nilgiri {Project 17} Class frigate. Construction of the first Bangalore Class (Project 15A) destroyer commenced on 12 March 2003.

A strategic cruise missile, designated PJ-10 (BrahMos), is expected to arm these destroyers. Currently under development at India&#39;s DRDO (Defence Research & Development Organisation) and Russia&#39;s NPO Mashinostroyeniya, technology from the Russian Yakhont ASCM will provide vital inputs in developing the missile. BrahMos has been derived from the names of rivers, Brahmaputra and Moskva (from which Moscow derives its name), and illustrates the joint Indian-Russian development of the missile. Production facilities in India and Russia are ready for full production of the missile. One surface combatant of the Indian Navy is expected to be armed with the missile in 2005 and another in 2006.

Nice frigates :banana:

 

[A.Rahman]

holySh*t, Indians have pretty good navy.

what ship do we have? where are we compared to IN ?

 

[SMC]

Their navy is much better than ours.. but they have to guard a LOT longer coastline than we do - about 7 times as much as we do according to someone else.

Those are only few vessels of the IN. One of the best.

If you see entire Navy you will be flat.

The forward P-20M missile cells (port and starboard) aboard INS Rajput have been replaced with two boxed launchers housing four PJ-10 (BrahMos) ASCMs. D51 served as the trials platform for the missile, which can be fitted with a conventional or nuclear payload of 200 kg. The missile has a range of ~300 km at 14,000 metres or 120 km at 10 to 15 metres. The missile is believed to have a first stage solid-fuelled booster and a second stage liquid-fuelled ramjet.

The pics have been taken at Singapore.

Thanks,

Miro
