The earlier project (360 dome radar on A330) was called AWACS-India and is now reportedly shelved, yes. It's been replaced with the AEW&C Mk-II (aka Netra Mk-II) program which is basically an improvement of the Netra system as it exists on the Embraer EMB-145I, but this time will be mounted on...

Thanks to GODOFPARADOXES on Twitter for the picture with notations! Some details on India's Shaurya quasi-ballistic missile (and its SLBM cousin K-15): The tandem fins are designed to guide the airflow in such a way that it forces the missile airframe to roll continuously, helping to evenly...

Two Project-15A Kolkata-class DDGs beside their predecessor Project-15 Delhi-class DDG...you can see a clear lineage, and also see where the improvements were made.

SpaceX to partner with Indian companies to manufacture Starlink communication gear in India In what could prove to be a big win for the government's Make in India push, Elon Musk-led SpaceX is planning to join hands with Indian companies to locally manufacture satellite communications...

The 2 x SDVs that the sub can carry on the sides as depicted here: ...and previously here (older iteration): ...appear to be L&T's own concept shown few years ago: ...these appear to be roughly the same overall size as the US Navy's Mk.8 SDV:

A while back, HI Sutton of Covert Shores did a story on what was at the time an earlier iteration of this design: http://www.hisutton.com/Indian-Navy-Coastal-Submarine.html

The first 2 MH-60R Seahawks have been handed over to the Indian Navy

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...
