Any damage to the RIB craft?
The final maneuvers do not suggest any mechanical malfunctions, rather gross miscalculation by helmsman.

Tu-22M3 has long (reasonably) legs only when sub-sonic and/or midflight refueled. Brahmos (at least 4 of them) will have to be carried on external HP, preventing supersonic flight. 22M2 and 22M3 were designed for subsonic cruise and supersonic dash with single AS-4 (X-22) or AS-6 (KSR-5) ASM carried...

And why not Severodvinsk? It's a one-off boat and obviously Russians considered that the design is already dated/unsuitable/too expensive for mass production and had to introduce Yasen-M. In some aspects like Sea Wolf - Virginia situation.

SM-2 costs 2.1 million USD, SM-6 - 4.3 million. RAN has 3 Hobart class DDGs with combined 144 cells for Standard missiles. I would expect that most of the money will go for SM-6 and some 300 SM-2, to keep the line open.

MiG-41 is a "vaporware". Officially it's in R&D phase, meaning not much further than a concept of something larger than Su-57 with same engines but flying at M 4.3.

Are the ship's combat systems going to be relevant for the next 20 years? 314 crores cannot be only for engine and propulsion replacement. Some of the other systems might get upgraded too. However, that said the Brahmputra class are an outdated design now and are good enough to only make up the num...

Not exactly a drop in. There are 2 types of GT available M90 and M70FRU, but a new reduction gear required and a redesign of internal space.

Nice Pic Chetak-ji there seem to be differences between the ships on the left and the right. the one on the left appears to have the 2-sided Top-Plate radar, similar to the Talwar class, in addition to the Lanza.

The Mexican army said in June that it had seized 221 fully automatic machine guns, 56 grenade launchers and a dozen rocket launchers from drug cartels since late 2018. Since 2018, not since February 2022. Any guesses? A hint: they have a common land border and US/Mexico border security is a big issu...

As I said, there are 8 already launched and 8 planned. All eight 055 launches had been documented. So unless they decide not to induct the ones already in water, there will be at least 8 in the PLAN in the coming years.

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...

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.
