Indian Navys' Wait For 2 New gen Frontline Warships will be over

[jarves]

AESA, 64 VLS for SAMs and 16 other for Brahmos super sonic cruise missiles. Thats something.

How many kolkata class destroyers we wil induct??
4??

Lol...the world is waiting for a 1990s technology ship from india?

 

[IND151]

The world is waiting and watching closely. After delays, come March-April, the Indian Navy will induct two deeply anticipated surface combatants, both carrying on their decks a world of expectation and indigenous toil.

The world is waiting and watching closely. After delays, come March-April, the Indian Navy will induct two deeply anticipated surface combatants, both carrying on their decks a world of expectation and indigenous toil. The lead ship of the Kolkata class indigenous stealth-guided missile destroyers (to be christened INS Kolkata) and the lead ship of the Project 28 Kamorta class anti-submarine warfare corvettes.

The INS Kolkata has sparked worldwide interest for a variety of reasons, not least because it is the most complex indigenously designed, developed and built frontline warship to enter Indian service. 163 metres long, propelled by four gas turbines, it is designed to achieve speeds in excess of 30 knots. The indigenously designed ship, currently drydocked after undergoing final sea trials in the Arabian Sea, sports advanced weapons and sensors, stealth features, an advanced action information system, a comprehensive auxiliary control system, world-class modular living spaces, sophisticated power distribution system and a host of other advanced features.

The destroyer class, certain to be the Navy’s pride after the formidable Delhi class of guided-missile destroyers, comes integrated with the supersonic BrahMos anti-ship and land attack missile system, enabling the ship to engage shore-based and naval surface targets at long range. The ship’s air defence capability, designed to counter the threat of enemy aircraft and anti-ship cruise missile will revolve around the vertical launch, longrange surface to air missile system, which is being co-developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Four AK-630 rapid-fire guns provide the ship with close-in defence capability while a medium-range gun will enable her to provide effective naval gunfire support. Indigenously developed twin tube torpedo launchers and rocket launchers will add punch to the ship’s anti-submarine capability.

The Directorate of Naval Design is proud of the Kolkata class. A top official with the department tells SP’s, “The P15A destroyer adds a new dimension in naval warfare for the Indian Navy. The ship will have modern weapons and sensors, advanced action information system, total atmospheric control system and a host of other advanced features. These ships with updated weapon package and new look exteriors for improved stealth will transform surface warfare. The navy is excited on the follow-on four Project 15B improved Kolkata class destroyers.”

Just as anticipated is the lead ship of the Project 28 Kamorta class of four anti-submarine warfare corvettes. With an aim of 90 per cent indigenisation in the class’s manufacture at the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd (GRSE) shipyard in Kolkata, efforts made by the Indian Navy towards its national goal of indigenisation and self-reliance isn’t just a castle in the air. The brand new ASW platforms will stealthily seek and destroy lurking enemy submarines.


While the Kamorta will enter service next month, the remaining three ships are to be delivered progressively until 2016. The Kamorta class corvettes also mark many firsts including introduction of the ‘rail-less helo traversing system’ to handle a helicopter on board the ship, foldable hangar door, use of indigenous DMR 249A steel and carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) superstructure integrated with the steel hull of the ship. Besides reducing the overall top weight, this provides the ship with improved stealth features and reduces life cycle maintenance costs.

The ship’s hull form is efficient with excellent sea-keeping and manoeuvrability characteristics having an overall length of 109 metres. The ship can cut through the sea at a very high speed of 25 knots. Hull of the ship is built with warship grade high tensile indigenous steel. The ship’s advanced stealth features will make her less susceptible to detection and help in effective deployment of soft kill measures. The ships will be fitted with complete indigenous state-of-the-art weapons and sensors, including a medium-range gun, torpedo tube launchers, rocket launchers and close-in weapon system.

These ships are also equipped with a bow-mounted sonar and are capable of deploying a helicopter, adding considerable punch to the ship’s anti-submarine capability. These ships also feature an advanced Integrated Platform Management System for controlling and coordinating the propulsion, auxiliary and power generation equipment.

After long wait, finally P-15A comes.

How many kolkata class destroyers we wil induct??
4??

3.(+4 more Banglore class destroyers with more powerful AESA radars and brahmos-2 missiles)

4 P-15 Bs will follow.

The Kolkata-class are the largest destroyers ever to be constructed at Mazagon Docks, and as of 2013, all three ships of the class have been launched and are being fitted out.[15]

Project 15B will retain the same hull as 15A Kolkata-class destroyers, but there will be significant changes in the superstructure that will improve the ships stealth characteristics (flush deck), include better sound and infrared suppression systems and more sophisticated weaponry such as: Nirbhay land-attack cruise missiles, hypersonic BrahMos-II anti-ship missiles and Barak 8-ERSAMs.[16] They will operate two helicopters, and are expected to displace approximately 8,000 tonnes at full displacement (1200 tonnes more than 15A). Russia's Baltic Shipyard has been contracted to provide four sets of line shafts by 2017. Saint Petersburg's Northern Design Bureau was consulted during the design phase.[17][18]

The total cost of the project is expected to be 30000 crore (US$5 billion).[19]Build-time for Project 15B is expected to be shorter than 15A, as no major re-designing would be done and would require only one and a half years of planning. Due to this, each warship is expected to save US$ 1 billion in costs. After finalisation of design, the first destroyer is expected within four years, with the others delivered at annual intervals, starting from 2018.[20] Mazgaon Docks laid the keel for the first P-15B destroyer on 12 October 2013.[9]

And Nirbhay cruise missiles also.Project 15B

 

[Robinhood Pandey]

the AESA radar is indigenous or Israeli ??

When we will induct the last one??

the AESA radar is indigenous or Israeli ??

Israeli radar.
Kolkata-class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But we may have indigenous radar in project 15B destroyers

sorry if it has been posted in da past...bt any ideas if they are kolkata class destroyers or some other ships?

Posted many times. @kurup can tell.
I have heard someone saying that one of them is our aircraft carrier.

 

[Gessler]

Type 052D is a formidable foe. Equipped with 4 AESA on the bridge covering 360 degrees, armed with 64 cells of VLS, 7 barreled 30 mm autonomous CIWS guns, RAM like CIWS missiles, 130 mm stealth main gun, state of the art sonars, 7500 tons of monster. Type 052D cannot be underestimated.

P-15A is similarly specced, 4 x AESA arrays covering 360 degrees (but elevated on a high mast to allow a
better OTH picture than bridge-mounted arrays), has 16 x ASCM BrahMos cells and 48 x Barak-8 cells (total 64 VLS
cells), and 4 x CIWS guns. Exact tonnage is not known.

Looks like Kolkata class destroyers only. . notice the similar Radar dome

yeah i think it is kolkata class as well,they ol luk da same wid bottom most one luks to be in da initial stage

i don't think tht either of those are AC's they luk too small fr an AC...n anyways da pic of MDL n nt of CSL .

Imported radars
imported engines
imported sam missiles（delivery after 2018）
imported main gun
russian made（though Indians love calling it a joint venture） anti-ship missiles
imported and outdated CIWS
shabby build work
。。。。

India basically spent over 10 years fiiling up an empty shell with foreign parts、components and subsystems。

Yet the ship will remain a sitting duck till the delivery of Israel's LRSAM after 2018.

Pride of INS。。。And the world waits。。。。
