Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

There were talks of 30mm Naval Surface Gun that is why I am surprised because it's mentioned as 30mm CIWS.

@Adm_Kenobi your views?

The 30mm CIWS will act as the main gun for ASW SWCs.
It isn't clear if this "CIWS" will be single barrel or 6.

for the love of Varuna, let it not be the CRN 91.

Why did we opt for 30 mm main gun rather than the already present l/70 based 40mm gun by lnt

The Teevra 40 from L&T is quite heavy and requires deck penetration. That is why IN has asked for a 30mm Naval Surface Gun just like Merlin system.

Mighty Indian Navy dominates from Malacca Straits to Aden in Gulf area. It has all the experience to operate in IndianOcean and thwart any Chinese attempt via Sri Lanka, Djibouti and Pakistani naval bases to come for a fight.

Now with cutting edge purchases of naval air arm including Rafale-M and P8i and American drones etc, nothing can match Indian Navy’s strategic reach.

Read the capabilities of Rafale -M below:

By: Group Captain (Dr) MJ Augustine Vinod (Retd) The induction of Rafale M (Marine) fighter jets will have a massive impact on the Indian Navy’s capabilities and the strategic dynamics of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The Rafale M (Marine), a naval variant of the highly capable Rafale aircraft...
