Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

[Fatalis]

WOW!! Look at all that empty space!! I'm petitioning the navy to install a swimming pool in there.

Noob logic.

The extra space is reserved for the next aircraft carrier which will be built there.

Next Generation Corvette (NCG) will receive a MF-STAR (RA) radar and 16 MRSAM. Shivalik and Talwar Class may have their Shtil-1 arm launchers replaced by Barak 8 (24-32) missiles in the future.

Disappointingly, I see no mention of VL-SRSAM or any specific SAM system for NGMV. There is a mention of the MFR-X radar for these ships which was later confirmed.

Is this the NGC?... Done this image but couldn't figure what it is. Looked like Kamorta-based to me.

Just a concept image pitched by IAI for showcasing and advertising their MFSTAR radar.

Once they get the Nuclear EMALS flat top one into production you can be sure the ~3 ramp carriers and Fujian will be progressively decommissioned and replaced by the same Nuclear EMALS class ships.

What all prep these Chinkus have to do to grab one island

Its called 'overmatch' - a term much touted by unkil and like all things copied and implemented first and maybe better by chinkas

MF-STAR is the char-aina one, the one that NGC is supposedly getting is a rotating one called EL/M-2258 ALPHA

The Chinku overmatch meanwhile is meant to keep Unkil & Pals watching while they molest Taiwan, because if Unkil tries to play hero to save Taiwan, Chinku will make the cost in sunken ships and body bags unacceptable to the Amerimutt janta.

Now the govt of Unkil also knows this, which is why I think they will let China have Taiwan, Unkil's """"overmatch"""" is only good for 2rs dictator regimes like Saddam's Iraq, not for a peer-adversary like China which can inflict good losses on them.

Now, Of Course, there is one way that Unkil Sam can retain Taiwan and prevent China from ever grabbing it and that is by baiting the Chings to attack India, like how Russia was baited into attacking Ukraine, any victories will be Pyrrhic for the Chings, just like for the Russies in Ukraine, and will buy enough time for Unkil to park enough missiles, airbases and 2-3 CSGs in and around Taiwan to dissuade Ching from trying anything.

i thinks we dfbians need to sit inside vls tubes so navy can expand current weapons loadout higher.

we are ready for the sacrifice

That is not the prospective design for the Next Generation Corvette (NGC) but could be very close to it. The NGC is

Next Generation Corvette (Possible Configuration)​
Sensor	Range	Comments
1 x EL/M-2258 MF-STAR S-Band AESA radar	200–400 km	Primary radar, smaller version of EL/M-2248 MF-STAR
1 x 3Ts-25E Garpun-B surface search I/X-Band radar	250 km	Surface search radar, missile targetting for BrahMos
1 x HUMSA-NG (MK 2)	40 km	Primary sonar for ASW
1 x ACTAS	60 km	Towed array sonar for ASW
Weapon Suite	Range	Comments
1 × OTO Melara 76 mm Super Rapid Gun Mount	16 km	Primary gun armament, likely passed-on from P 15A/B ships with STRALES 76 mm
2 x AK-630M CIWS	5 km	Close In Weapons System, Fire Control using MF-STAR and EO sensors.
2 x OFT 12.7 mm M2 SRGM	2 km	RCWS for ship defense, can be used manually
8 x BrahMos ER	450-900 km	Primary ASuW, can be used for surface to surface and anti ship roles
16-24 Barak 8 (MRSAM)	90-100 km	Primary SAM for anti ship missile and area defense
2 x tripe 533mm Varunastra torpedo	50 km	Primary ASW weapon
1 x HAL Dhruv (or) Sea King Mk. 42B		Single helicopter for ASW role
Comments :
8 vessels to be built. Frigate sized (~3500 tons) vessel with 1 x LM2500 and 2 x Pielstick 12PA 6 STC6 Diesel engines for a range of 2800nm at 25 kn. Likely replacement for the Brahmaputra Class frigates and Kora Class corvettes.​

Adding some interesting observations from the video.

• 2 x triple 533mm Varunastra torpedo

• 2 x 12.7 mm OFT M2 RCWS (can be used manually)

• 4 x Kavach Decoy Launcher

• Bow weapon layout

made this low quality edit. NGMV is the worst looking design we have came up with... or maybe the aswswc is

that design has been floating around since 2018 ish ... its not NGC just some placeholder copy of french aqutine(?)
