Well, 20380 have been deployed from Baltic Sea to Med. 20800 is a different story, of course. But, last December an upgraded 20800 was presented with displacement around 1200 -1400 tons and definitely some ant-sub role.

Very much too optimistic, Mody ji. The Kamorta at 3.3K tons can carry 4x533mm torpedoes onlee and the Brahmos is bigger. At 2K tons, a corvette would most likely have 4 mijjiles of Brahmos'/Nribhay's size. Definitely not 8 of each. For that many, you need a destroyer like Kolkata which hold 16 Brah...

Possible, when fully manned with trained crew. Which is definitely not the case at the moment.

She's not in a dry dock, rather moored at outfitting quay. With tugboats around, doesn't look she's under own power.

I checked the news report regarding the proposed offer of Kilo class boats from Russia and examining the report in detail the following facts emerge. The proposal is a 3+3 offer. i.e 3 Indian boats that entered service in 1999 to 2002 will be upgraded with SLEP of 10 years and the Russians will add...

Rakesh, building program of 12, not 13. 7 are commissioned (6 in Black Sea, one in Far East), 3 are under construction and further 2 are contracted with keel laying in November 2020.

The last 877 entered service in 1994 but I'm quite sure she's not for sale yet. Likely candidates would be the ones laid up waiting for repairs or already under repairs. That will mean Yaroslavl (North Fleet, under repairs since 2016), Alrosa (Black Sea Fllet,under repairs since 2014) and Saint Nic...

But Russia is developing almost most of it weapons with export primarily in mind with exception of few icbm and hypersonic weapons.

So far a malfunction of the flight control system is blamed for putting the plane into uncontrolable downward spin.

Complexity - yes, haven't heard about inability, on the contrary, AK-130 (A-218) was considered to be way more reliable when firing long volleys than more modern A-190. The biggest disadvantage is the sheer size and weight of the gun, loading system and magazine, and it's massive recoil, limiting i...

Our DDGs have a more streamlined bow and sonar receptacle unlike the Burke's. The dome will protrude below the bulge in the pic, but follows the flow of the raked bow,probably adding a knot or two to the vessel's speed.

Can you elaborate on exactly what were the issues? Not much I can piece together other than complexity/inability when switching between different ammos, lower accuracy and outdated fire control system. Also I have had heard it was highly expensive to operate in Russian service. Complexity - yes, ha...

I can see where MDL is going to build four P-17A once they are done with P-15B, but pardon me, GRSE looks so tiny and with no space to expand, they can probably build only single ship of that size at a time. How the hell one can expect seven ships ready by 2027???

Perhaps, you should have another look at nam's picture which clearly shows yard number 12704 on the ship behind Vela. You even have the last letters of the name Vishakapatnam visible on the banner.

Visakhapatnam was launched exactly 4 years ago, given that the design is only marginally different from P-15A, this is slow.
