Kamorta class corvettes for VPN ?

I dont even know why Dhanush ballistic missile was even brought up.

It's a cumbersome, useless naval missile with very, very, very limited use in the IN.

It has different dimension in IN doctrine. Not a sea based offensive weapon, rather it is helping us in developing sea based ABM system. Hint remember Prithvi missiles, base platform.

No general public knows its anti ship as well as anti missile seeker capability. If you come to know, I am pretty sure you will feel different compared to what you feel now.

Someone said @RISING SUN is a Navy guy.

He didn't really specifically say it's a Sukanya class, just a modification or hybrid of that class. He's given us hints here and there which confuses us.

I hope the final orders will not be based on the Sukanya class hull.

No body claimed I am navy guy. I am a normal guy who want to assimilate information from all available sources. I was wrong, its not Sukanya exactly rather it is based on our newer patrol boat.

Barak 8 (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barak 8 is an unparallel system.Any type of Chinese offensive cant pass the defense of Barak 8.

That will be bit exaggeration.

Bro.You are talking about Varunastra that 100km torpeado .Am I right?

You dirty Indian, always get ahead of me. Damn!!!

Here's the article that was posted earlier. GRSE is currently offering to the Philippines an export version of the Kamorta class, just with different weapons and sensors, with a different superstructure to accommodate those different weapons:

No mate GRSE is only builder, design and tech lies with MOD and naval design beauro(under defense ministry only). It can provide similer hull even outer stealth material structure but main thing is IR suppression which I don't think we are going to take risk on.

 

[RISING SUN]

Even I think newer OPV hybrid is also a problem, the OPV are designed for rescue and surveillance only, not for combat op against a frigate or destroyer. There hull not gonna survive a single missile attack even.

Not even a destroyer will survive after one direct hit by Bramhos, so should target nation stop ship building. One has to make it costlier for enemy to think many times before engaging you.

Is there any drawing or anything about that new patrol boat hull that will be used as the base ship for Vietnam?

Lol, i was talking about subsonic attack, not of BrahMos. BTW, how one captain of the ship can attack its own ship with its own missile, no sense. Lol.

You dirty Indian, always get ahead of me. Damn!!!

The Varunastra is rated as 30 km range, so is there a new version now with extended range dedicated to the anti ship role?

Then how do you know of it?

This missile is in very limited use for a reason. And India doesnt have any anti ship ballistic missile, there is a program in development now though, but it has 1500+ km range.

Look how cumbersome such a missile is. With only 350 km range, it's of very limited use to anyone.

Mate you give me a similar stealth boat with three layer of anti air systems(main naval 76 mm SRGM, CIWS and anti missile system), French Israeli and Indian combined ECMs, CODOG super maneuverability And I will shoot dodge confuse as many missiles as required while firing my own missiles on enemy boats. Let them taste the supersonic missile while I will roast their subsonic missiles.

Navy dont like much liquid fuel in ballistic missile. And if IN wants a ABM system in its warship, like Aegis ABM. Then they need to go for AAD rather than PAD.

Hull is bit larger than Saryu class newest patrol boat but superstucture is a lot different due to weapon and sensor suite being different.

Is that a argument? Ok, Give me Standard Missile 6 and 3, not a single one going to come closer to even 100 Km radius.

Bro, that is the whole point, you cant get everything.
