EL/M-2221How we are guiding SRGM on P-17 class frigates?
View attachment 28357
We use Garpun/Lynx FCR for SRGM on almost all class of ships except P-15A/B. But P-17 has replaced it's Garpun with Scantar SSR. Is it using th Scantar for guiding the SRGM?
Could be both.Isn't that used to guide Barak-1?
Now its down for me too.How are you viewing tweets? twitter is down for me.
Brahmos in VLS?
Would love if they can integrate LRLACM in future too.
@marich01 thanks for the find.Photos of 2 Nilgiri class frigates from GRSE Shipyard, dated February 2023:
INS Himgiri at the GRSE outfitting yard:

Radar masts, smoke stacks has been integrated. You can see the RBU-6000s on the fore deck. Work on the Barak 8 & Brahmos VLS on the fore deck are nearing completion. No MF-STAR yet, that's a bummer.
Another Nilgiri class frigate under-construction at Yard no. 3024. This is the last vessel of the class being made at GRSE. This ship hasn't been officially named yet. It will probably be called INS Vindyagiri or INS Mahendragiri when launched.

Couldn't find any recent photos of INS Dunagiri. That ship is probably undergoing engine & propulsion systems integration now.
One more left ,right? From 17A line.
NGD is still very far and all the required technologies will be mature by them. The naval BMD has started to take shape. We did our first firing from INS Anvesh and now we will test all sort of related technologies be it radar, missiles, UVLS. Previously, we were crawling, now we are walking and soon we will be running in terms of naval technology.Think he is right, if you want ABM/BMD on some NGD, the BMD system on ship needs to be ready first, tried and tested without any fault. Perhaps the 2nd stage of destroyers can have such full on capability and much higher tonnage at 13-14000 tons class. In the first stage or the whole project, I think it will be like below.
Theoretically its not much different to INS Arihant with K15 Sagarika vs S4 or higher class with K4/K5 or so. One is a technology demonstrator and another is upscaled final product in its class which can only gets stronger with each iteration.
These are all kinetic. We are still nowhere close to the 'running'. Rail guns, soft kills, Pack sub and over surface UCVs. We are a generation behind.soon we will be running in terms of naval technology
