RBU-6000スメルチ2 212mm12連装対潜迫撃砲
旧ソ連が開発した対潜ロケット砲。無誘導爆雷を用いた対潜水艦戦闘もしくは無誘導ロケット弾を用いた沿岸砲撃に使用される。ロシア製軍艦のほとんどに搭載されているが、友好国の艦船にも配備されており、ステルス船体と旧型装備とのギャップが良い。 pic.twitter.com/sFm7gIKIdw

Thread here

India now has a number of independent aviation photographers producing great pics on a daily basis. But naval & land equipment pics remain lacking, issue of access?
But as expected from Japan, many are posting great pics of INS Kadmatt (P29) from Yokosuka, short compilation:

Very difficult to observe. One projection is there but not sure if that is VDS.

That central opening does it look like any towed sonar mechanism?

Interestingly, they didnt have the central opening before. I think we can safely say that they have received some kind of a towed sonar. Obviously not a 100% confirmed. pic.twitter.com/t9haCDUkXK

Beautiful ship and very well sized and armed.

Slightly longer than Saryu class OPVs.

Something like this could be a general purpose frigate for IN, make 2 dozen of these and have them patrol all choke points.

Interestingly has 3xAk-630 cwiz.

Myanmar Navy's Kyan Sittha-class frigates have a significant amount of Indian made hardware.

The propulsion setup is very similar to the IN's Kamorta class ASW corvettes. The engines used are the Pielstick 12PA 6 STC6 diesel engines license manufactured in India. The reduction gear box is from Elcon & GRSE provides the controllable pitch propellers.

Kyan Sittha-class frigates uses the Oto Melara 76mm as its primary naval gun. It is not known if those guns are directly imported from Italy for from BHEL-Haridwar. The ships use BEL's hull mounted HUMSA-HMX sonars. The frigates also use the Sheyna torpedoes, BDL exported those torpedoes.

The ships originally came equipped with a Chinese surface search radar & the BEL RAWL-2 for AD/volume search roles. Older photo from 2018:
View attachment 32063
Newer phots from MILAN-2024 show that the BEL RAWL-2 has been replaced by BEL REVATHI:
View attachment 32064
View attachment 32065

Again, striking similarity to the IN's Kamorta class corvettes:
View attachment 32066
The Myanmar Navy has switched from the RAWL-2 to REVATHI in just a few years of use. While IN is still receiving destroyers with RAWLs. The RAWLs aren't great but they are not terrible either. Perhaps the reason for the relatively quick retirement of the RAWLs & an early adoption of the REVATHI is the VL-SRSAM.
View attachment 32067
Currently the only AD on the Kyan Sittha-class frigates are 2 units of a Chinese copy of the AK-630 & some Igla-S MANPADS. VL-SRSAM could fill the medium range SAM role quite well, assuming the ships has enough underdeck space to accommodate a 16/32 cell VLU.

Maybe BDL has an export order coming.
