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 one on the right appears to have the 1-sided Half-Plate radar, seen in the older pics of Delhi/Mysore/Mumbai
Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 12 April 2021
INS Delhi on the right, she didn't get the Fregat M2M upgrade like Mysore and Mumbai. So on the left could be either Mysore or Mumbai, although some accounts have pointed at Mysore as the first ship with Lanza-N.titash wrote: ↑26 Feb 2024 10:30 Nice Pic Chetak-ji

Things are not comparable.
Space and radar as well as sosus surveillance. Also long range missiles. And long range air interdiction.

INS Jatayu strengthens India's maritime security in Lakshadweep: Navy chief
NEW DELHI: Chief of Naval Staff, R Hari Kumar, highlighted the significance of the recently commissioned INS Jatayu at Minocoy Island, stating that it reinforces the nation's commitment to safeguarding its maritime interests in the strategic Lakshadweep region.
The commissioning ceremony marked a pivotal milestone in India's naval capabilities, with INS Jatayu poised to play a crucial role in enhancing maritime domain awareness and bolstering the Indian Navy's sustenance and surveillance capabilities in the region.
Kumar underscored the strategic importance of Lakshadweep, saying, "The commissioning of INS Jatayu at Minicoy holds immense significance for our nation's maritime security and underscores the strategic significance of Lakshadweep."
"The Naval Base will serve as a vanguard, providing crucial maritime domain awareness while enhancing the Indian Navy's sustenance & surveillance in the region," he added.
The Indian Navy on Wednesday commissioned its second naval base, INS Jatayu, at Minicoy Island in Lakshadweep to strengthen its foothold in the region, the Indian Navy said in an official statement.
The INS Jatayu was commissioned in the presence of Adm R Hari Kumar, the Chief of Naval Staff, Administrator of Lakshadweep, Praful K Patel, V Adm V Srinivas, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command.
According to the statement, "This milestone event strengthens the Indian Navy's foothold in the Lakshadweep island while extending capacity building, operational reach and sustenance in the region. The establishment of the Naval Base at Minicoy will augment connectivity with the mainland, focusing on the comprehensive development of the islands."
The INS Jatayu will be functioning under the operational control of the Naval Officer in Charge (Lakshadweep), Southern Naval Command.
On the occasion, the Chief of Naval Staff was presented with a 50-man Guard of Honour and Commander Vrat Baghel, the first commanding officer of the unit, recited the invocation in Sanskrit, followed by the reading of the commissioning warrant.
After the unveiling of the commissioning plaque, the Naval Ensign was hoisted to the tune of the National Anthem. With the last note of the National Anthem, the commissioning pennant was broken on the mast.
The commissioning ceremony was attended by Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh, Flag Officer Commanding in Chief, Western Naval Command, senior Naval officers and distinguished guests.
On completion of the commissioning ceremony, the Maritime Operations Center at Minicoy was inaugurated and the Chief of the Naval Staff, interacted with the officers and men of the unit and commended them on this momentous occasion.
INS Jatayu will play a significant role in the Indian Navy's operational surveillance while embracing the vision of SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region).

The Indian Navy is significantly enhancing its capabilities with the establishment of INS Jatayu on Minicoy Island in Lakshadweep. This new base will feature advanced radar systems, jetties, an airfield, and coastal batteries equipped with BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles.
Additionally, new infrastructure and facilities were inaugurated at the Karwar naval base in Karnataka, including major piers and residential accommodations, enhancing the living conditions for officers and civilian defence personnel.
The inclusion of extended-range BrahMos missiles and new radar facilities at Minicoy is intended to improve India’s surveillance capabilities and provide a flexible response to threats.

Quick question for all mujahids:
- Is there a compelling reason why Delhi was passed over for both radars? Or it it simply due to availability of the upgrade kits at the time of refit?
- Will the Shivaliks remain without a VLS based on what happened to the Delhi class? These have 20 years of service remaining. Would it not make sense to rebuild these with Barak-8/MF-STAR?
- Any news on the Talwars? Are any of them getting a VLS? The older 3 ships are almost 20 years old

Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 12 April 2021
Ideally, yes.
But practicality and cost-wise may be prohibitive. Probably would require a very long refitting. Better to acquire a newly designed ship.
Perhaps less challenging/costly improvement would be to replace Shtil SAMs with DRDO’s VL-SRSAM?

Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 12 April 2021
The 4 on order should have VLS Shtil, the 2 built in Russia already have it installed. The status of the two at GSL is currently unclear. Laid in January and June 2021, the delivery is expected sometime in 2026. That means both should be launched this year but no update available for long time.
Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 12 April 2021
Do we have enough Zorya GTs for the 2 ships to be built by GSL?

Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 12 April 2021
The Russians have developed an alternate GT. It's a drop in replacement for the Zorya.
Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 12 April 2021
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.

While I am very happy that the services are getting newer HQs and much better digs however it does seem like a missed opportunity not only for a joint HQ but also architecture and design wise.Rakesh wrote: ↑15 Mar 2024 20:20 VIDEO: https://x.com/SpokespersonMoD/status/17 ... 41238?s=20 ---> Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the newly constructed headquarters of the Indian Navy "Nausena Bhawan" in New Delhi.
When so much good design work is being done with the new parliament and Janpath why do IA/IN /IAF HQs end up looking like a mid sized IT company's second campus in Pune.

MV Ruen - Saved from Pirates
#INSKolkata, in the last 40 hours, through concerted actions successfully cornered and coerced all 35 Pirates to surrender & ensured safe evacuation of 17 crew members in the evening today #16Mar 24 from the pirate vessel without any injury.
#INSKolkata had carried out the interception of the Pirate Ship Ruen almost 1400 nm (2600km) from the Indian Coast, and forced the pirate ship to stop through calibrated actions which were augmented by #INSSubhadra, HALE RPA, P8I maritime patrol aircraft & #MARCOS PRAHARs air-dropped by C-17 aircraft.
The vessel has also been sanitised for presence of illegal arms, ammunition and contraband.

Oh I have a few thoughts - none of which are civilised
The most palatable would be to simply put them in a raft close enough to their coast and let them find their way home... firing tracer rounds to help them navigate, if required.
