In a preemptive strike case, we can launch 50 SMART missiles for anti submarine missions. these supersonic missiles hv 700 km range. In these missile shyena light torpedo is present, which seprate itself nd dive down in sea. then it can hunt down submarines (may be ships also) in 20 km range by its own sonars. so we can fire each SMART missiles in a area of 20 km distance. that make a dead zone of near 50×20= 1000 km for pakistani submarines near karachi port. dont know how many Pakistani subs survive by that type of attack.

SMART need it's own kill chain primarily relying on moored sonar & arrays in Arabian Sea (IOR) or detection by P8s. Once the LWT from SMART gets activated you don't want any friendly submarine close to the target as IN would have no control over LWT at that point of time.

Does anyone know what kind of armament suite we can expect from P-76 class, given kalvari/scorpene can carry 18 exocet, IG about 8-10 brahmos, or 16 NASM-MR ?

Whatever deshi torpedoes are there and vertically launched brahmos/nirbhay me thinks.

NASM-MR maybe through torpedo tubes

US, Swedes, Ruskals etc moving to the vertical launch concept of multiple missiles with one cover

He wants to say CCS clearance came 4 years after design was over...

If design was completed in 2020, and then navy chief said that first ssn would arrive by 2036, I am sorry to say, for the first time navy has disappointed so bad, 16 year gap between design finishing and induction is ridiculous

Nuclear Submarine are a whole different game dude, currently only PSU are devloping nuclear reactors and proulsions, everything hinges on these, now being a govt firm they will take thier, creating an nuclear reactor small and efficient enough to fit on a sub and remain operational in differing conditions is not easy, developing such reactor can easily take 10 years, from that perspective 2036 is not bad.

CCS sat on the file and now there is the other delay of BARC developing the reactor

However the sem2sem reactor is going to be used for S5 SSBN and that is a strategic project so it could be development is already in progress for the S5.

 

[liberalredditor]

So what's happening right now? Hull fabrication or just waiting for reactor.

Also if ssn design is complete which is much more complex then a ssbn, so I presume that s5 class design work is also complete or nearly complete.

If ccs can sit on such an important and strategic "nuclear sub" work for 4 years, then I am sure we have moles filled from top to bottom in MoD.
