Not that I know of, no. At least the Shivaliks have a 32-cell VLS Barak-1 short-range SAM for self defence. The Talwars only have the arm launcher 9M317.

Full deck!

Far as I know, at the time these ships were contracted (Batch-1 Talwar 1997, P-17 Shivalik 1999, Batch-2 Talwar 2006) it was the only system available. It was only in the 2010s that the VLS version of 9M317 SAM emerged on the Admiral Grigorovich class (improved Talwar/Krivak). Batch-3 & 4 which...

By the way, the fact that they can support multi-round ejection from the get go is encouraging as this would mean having an easier time converting these boats into SSGNs once the S5-class take over as deterrence platforms. A silo that can take 3 x 0.74m K15 SLBMs should be able to take at least...

I think we have approval for what, 18 aircraft? Hope they slowly take the numbers up to 26, with permanent basing of a squadron in A&N.

Not much of a thread, just a sloppy poster I made a while back using MS Paint & Powerpoint

"The start of construction of the navy’s $44 billion new fleet of frigates is poised to be pushed back for up to 18 months after the Morrison government agreed to delay the project because of issues with the design." "Work building the first frigate may not start in Adelaide until 2024, after...

Interesting...

At this moment, sure. But that program is unlikely to bear fruit for at least another decade or two. R&D programs of this type are always long & fraught with uncertainties...because unlike the rocket programs for which proof of concept and proof of operation already exists, Scramjet spaceplanes...

As a continuation/Part-2 of "A Brief History of Indian Orbital Rockets" (https://defencehub.live/threads/a-brief-history-of-indian-orbital-rockets.8461/), this part covers those programs that are still to come. NOTE: As with the preceding article, I will only be mentioning those programs that...

ITER Fusion Reactor Project - Who builds what

INS Tabar (F44), a Talwar-class frigate of Indian Navy departs the Port of Naples after conclusion of exercises along with Antonio Marceglia (F597), a FREMM/Carlo Bergamini-class frigate of the Italian Navy. Also, note that the Russian TK-25E-5 electronic support measures system on the Tabar has...

Wait for Part-2!

NOTE: In this compilation I'm only going to mention orbital-rated launch vehicles, as such any sub-orbital launchers/sounding rockets will not be mentioned. I'm going to divide this into two parts. The first part will cover the history up till this point, the second part will talk about where...

There is nothing at all to suggest Dhanush is capable of, or ever intended, to target ships. Or land for that matter if speaking of intention. SRBMs of this type are effective against air bases, ports & major infrastructure only when launched in salvos of AT LEAST 5-10 missiles, taking into...

Thank you!

To expand further on this, till now the peak of RV/Kill Vehicle maneuvering technology from DRDO was seen on the PDV anti-ballistic missile originally tested for the first time in 2014 (and the XSV-1 aka PDV Mk-2 ASAT weapon tested in 2019), and that relied entirely on an advanced DACS system...

I had posted a similar list in another forum, I've made some modifications since and am posting one here as well. I've put together a pretty realistic/conservative estimate of the Indian Navy's warship & submarine plans for the next 2 decades. NOTE: Only those projects that are known...
