I had once pointed out MLUs need to be kept simple, and it looks like they took that to heart.
At least the Barak-1 upgrade is decent enough for point defence.
8 Brahmos per ship is fine. It's sufficient firepower for the anti-ship role.

PFR2022 has been a big disappointment, zero photographs released

Israel will use this on their ships for Barak 8.
We should use these radars on Delhi and Talwar class Frigates and equip them with B8.
There are two versions. The Basic and ER. The basic one can go on Talwars and ER one on Delhi class.
32 B8 inplace of rear arm launcher.
And a 8 cell VLS (lacm capable) in place of forward arm launcher would make a good destroyer.
We can further replace the B1 with VL SRSAM and the 76mm gun with a 127mm one.
8 Per Ship - this vs 16 Kh35?
Unless they are adding more inclined launchers for LACM. This ship is under armed
8 Brahmos is a lot of missiles. These are much larger, heavier than Kh-35.
If we had used the slant launchers like we used on Rajput for Brahmos, we would have been able to get 12 missiles. Just a thought.
Let's just say the Talwars were better armed than the Delhi class until the current upgrade.
The navy has decided to give greater priority to the training and experience of the crew over new technologies. So most of what's important to keep the ship alive has stayed the same, while adding a bit more edge through the Barak upgrade. It's a proper MLU. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Secondary firepower will come with helicopters anyway.
Network centric means target was acquired from another platform and GSAT7 was involved , right ?
Is this the inclined launchers of ship launched brahmos like shown in model ships by BAPL?
Is Brahmos cold launched? There is no addition of a heat shield despite the much larger missile.
Legend has it that INS Mysore has bigger heat shields as it was designed for Moskit missiles.
