More layers are always better.

Even on land, we are not just relying on updated bofors Anti air gun with radar and fcs.
But also working on.

Plus ak630 on our ships have Effective range between 2-3km.
Drdo vshorad has 6km max range.
So it adds another layer, a more longer layer of point defense than ak630.

But I'm not against the idea of more anti air auto cannons on ship too.
Oto melara 76mm being put on our modern ships is already designed to engaged subsonic targets, and some effectiveness against low supersonic targets too.
Another 30-50mm one to compliment it, won't be a bad idea.

Also the vshorad launchers takes quite less space compared to auto cannons.
And quite easier to add on superstructure of ships.

We can make our own Kashtan with DRDO VSHORAD and a newer gun. A gun based CWIS is probably still necessary due to drones.
We should also make our own SeaRAM with ASRAAMs. Both should be available for use depending on the ship.

We have upgraded( radar and fcs) gun based ciws based on ak630 gun.

We should also make our own SeaRAM with ASRAAMs. Both should be available for use depending on the ship.

pls tell me that gandiva isnt designed for slow targets like aewacs, refuellers but rather fast targets like fighters.
even drdo started to blackpill

Considering missile consists of guidance computer, warhead and control surfaces. It is more or less can the guidance system able to manoeuvre to its target whether it is slow or fast. Only extra defence his EW jamming will be better from AWACS.

The concept was first tried by the Americans in the late 1950s, early 1960s.

They even successfully developed the nuclear ramjet engine. Hardly a soviet invention.

if its truly a 1960s tech then drdo can also develop it easily ig, do we have a use case for such missiles?
