This ((( employees must work even on Sundays ))) company can't even put the details of their stuff on the website.
If it wasn't for DFB i'd never know they make triple torpedo launchers and RBU-6000 in India

Good they make these videos + are active with pictures on Twitter wagera, the Indian Navy website is down since sometime last year and the "recruitment" website has no info about the ships, subs and weapons used by Navy.

On their website when it was online they would give specs of the ships atleast, would clarify a lot of stuff, otherwise here we were playing CID over finding out if 533m Triple Torpedo Tube launcher exists or not.

I think this was displayed in 2022..

Good job lads, after seeing that video I was kind of sure that those are 324mm, but my theory was bit too weird, size of head is not small enough for a 533mm.
So then ultimately it's
L&T with 90hr workweek - 1
Vampyrbladez - 0

Anyways, people say the only thing I do is cry so will continue crying...

Our ASuW range decreased from 50km to 20km

Enough of memes, now a take.

We often compare our ships and packing density with that of USA but perhaps even more stark difference would be if we compare them with modern Russian designs. Like take the example of the new Talwars compared to Nilgiri

- Talwar is narrower by about 2.5m but still manages to cram slightly more ordnance
- both have pretty much the same 1x 8-cell BrahMos launcher
- Shtil-1 missile is substantially bigger compared to Barak-8
- though it's just one compared to two but still the RBU-6000 take lesser space on Talwar
- Talwar features a higher caliber gun

One explanation to all these would be the one that's usually given; it's just a way to future proof the ships. So whenever they go into their MLU, all the weapons that would have been developed by then would be added. If it's the case then nothing can be better than this but if not then there's some serious optimization problem going on.

Another interesting point I found while going through all these was automation, may be @Binayak95 Sir can shed some light on it but what are the levels of automation compared to our contemporaries?
• Mogami, 5,500t - 90
• Iver Huitfeldt, 6,600t - 165
• Baden-Württemberg, 7,200t - 110
• Absalon, 6,600t - 100
But in our case even the 900t ASW-SWC has a crew of 57 or for 6,600t Nilgiri it's 226. So is this the maximum accomodation capacity that's erroneously quoted everywhere as complement or do we really need more hands on deck?

Sometimes I wonder what was even the point of producing these 6800 ton 'frigates'.

50% is not something that can be considered 'slight', bud. The adjective you were looking for is 'SIGNIFICANT'.

BINGO!! Been saying this for years now (and took much flak for it too).

Don't worry Comrade, I'm relieving you

I'm waaaaaaaaaay past that point, mate. Anyway, I added some more content to that post.

Anyways, here's something interesting.
The Navy would never tell you this, but you can definitely build two 2BHKs on the bow of the new Nilgiri Class frigate. Imagine what else is the Navy hiding from us...

Always use Youtube, because X's video compression sucks.

God's this thing is beautiful!

YES, but...

 

[Bleh]

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

I love it!
