What do you think @randomradio ? Possible ?
Here is the VLS set up of the Barak 8 missile on the Kolkata class destroyers :

The Pic you posted isn't from INS Kolkata
It is an OLD pic of BARAK - 1 from INS Viraat
I took it from this article :
Indian Navy Kolkata Class Destroyers
I am inclined to believe that its Barak 1 on the Viraat now looking at the photo you posted. I can't imagine a tractor sitting on the deck of the Kolkata.
Do you have any close up photo of the Barak 8 launchers on the Kolkata ?
Neither the army nor the air force are actually interested in the Barak 8ER. Only the IN is interested in it, and they call it VLRSAM.
The land based launcher for the ER is slightly different, but it's possible the navy's launchers are already compatible with the ER. So I haven't heard any specific news regarding this. But the P-15Bs will be equipped with ER.

Best so far - Still searching !!!
He is wrong. Whatever we ordered is from the JV program with DRDO. Which is definitely not ER version.
Did we order a 1000 missiles though ? Seems a little excessive.
And are the current Barak 8 VLS on the Kalkata class compatible with the ER ?

As soon as the 1st pictures of India’s upcoming XRSAM Air defense shared by @sayareakd on twitter became viral in the defense community, one of a very popular defense tech enthusiast @amitraaz 1st pointed out the similarities of the missile system with the BARAK ER System Aerodynamics on Twitter ( )
Interesting thread. Especially for you @randomradio

Not similar , look at the rear most section , it is not present in barak er
Because AAD rear section has been used as part of the solid booster .
Barak er booster does not have close coupled jet vanes and fins , which the XRSAM booster has as an extra.
Poosted the pics in missile thread
XRSAM - 16 fins , jet vanes coupled to fins
Barak er - 12 fins
It's so obvious the difference
Posted the reasons in drdo thread in df.i

That is the norm now. Use some basic real information to build a long 'informative' post/video around it.
Yeah, I've noticed that since the last year or so. Actually ever since **** started, and now it's spreading everywhere.
They are a huge success. Its like Timesnow and its successors.
The difference is in this case wrong information is pretty much harmless.
On LRSAM (Long Range Surface to Air Missile), he said 11 ship sets of orders are already in the kitty with the first set likely to be supplied by March 2020.
To a query on offset business from the Rafale deal, Gowtama said orders worth $17 million are in place through its partner, Thales.
On the space front, Gowtama said BEL completed assembly of one satellite for strategic missions and more orders are expected this year.
