Their only hope is this y18. Which they inducted most recently and only to these destroyers. If it was so good they could have replaced crappie subsonic less than 200 km missiles.
Which literally means they have to come closer at 180-200 to lock and fire. While we kill their vessels settled in the deep sea 300-400 km away. If We increased range to 600km. Then it's unofficial range could be more.
Well good luck with paper tiger bravoda
This is our frigates firepower
- Anti-ship/Land-attack missiles:
- 8 × VLS launched Klub, anti-ship cruise missiles
- or
- 8 × VLS launched BrahMos, anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles
- Guns:
One frigate at least on its paper configuration can take out 8 Chinese frigates as of 2016(their armed with y83) in practical aspect 4 as two bramos will be fired in Salvo mode. So even one destroyed other flowing with hits for sure. .
People say why keep talking about bramos always. This one missile worth a billion dollar if it can take out a frigate of enemy.
Chinese always have this mindset of Large numbers is what needed for good strategy. Checkers of Chinese and Chess of India is a good mindset of our strategy.
So we always wanted the best even of its single one.
But what's more troubleshooting for our neighbor? When we manage make up that numbers with high quality weapon systems. Wait for few years Chinese will have replace all its Soviet era weapons. Which are mass produced till date. And they will have no other option to induct whatever it's available to them. Most probably Ripoff of Soviet era systems improved upon their own innovations?
While India just starting to induct massive amounts of weapons all around the world. Technically very futuristic. Now that the bottom line for future. !
