Is the Thales S1850M(?) ever going to be incorporated onto Vishakaptnam class? Or just Shivalik class frigates? 'Cos the Royal Navy will be moving onto a newer version by the look of things, for their Type 26 frigates.

LTR-25 is the planned replacement for RAWL-02. Then why go for S180M?

It will go on-board all the frontline warships. A total of 23 are under procurement.

Saw a few renderings with what looked like the S1850M on Shivalik class and some older ones for Vishakaptnam.

IDK what Navy thinks about this. They believe they will leak some confidential information if they post good quality pics of the warships.

Some real bs tbh. Every other Navy is comfortable releasing high res pics. We need a foreign Navy to do it for us. Lol.
