Sou fá de primeira hora do Mig-29 desde o primeiro momento de seu lançamento. E sempre me perguntei, por mera curiosidade mesmo, se ele em sua versão naval caberia no Nae SP.
Vendo-o no Nae indiano, e o aparente aperto em que ele se encontra neste navio, fica claro que o ex-capitânea brazuca jamais conseguiria operar de forma eficaz ou eficiente com ele.
Mas que essa suposta dupla daria um belo quadro na sala isso lá daria.

India Cuts Steel For Its First Locally-Built Project 11356 Frigate

India’s Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) cut a steel plate for its first locally built Project 11356 frigate on September 21. The official ceremony of steel cutting was being live-streamed on the same day by the Ishwari Digital media platform.

During the ceremony, the Vice Chief of the Indian Navy’s (IN’s) Staff Vice Admiral G Ashok Kumar cut the first plate of steel for the premier Indian-built Project 11356 frigate.

In his turn, a representative of GSL said the construction of the Project 11356 frigates would be the largest shipbuilding program to be conducted by the enterprise. “Thanks to the commencement of the project, the shipyard has entered the league of the Indian enterprises that are capable of building large surface combatants. Therefore, India’s capabilities to construct this type of defense hardware will be dramatically reinforced,” he said. “We are planning to fulfill the program in time. The enterprise rapidly adopted to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to minimize its impact on manufacturing processes,” he added.

According to the representative of GSL, the new ships will incorporate “a large number” of indigenous subsystems.

India has designated the new ship ‘Advanced Missile Frigate’ (AMF). “GSL commences production of Advanced Missile Frigates, with ‘First Steel Cutting’ today at the hands of Vice Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral G Ashok Kumar — another landmark step in Defence Shipbuilding and a major boost to ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ [projects],” said GSL in a tweet on September 21.

Russia and India previously contracted the delivery of four Project 11356 frigates to the Asian country. Under the deal, the Yantar Shipyard (a subsidiary of Russia’s United Shipbuilding Corporation) and GSL are set to build two ships each.

The Project 11356 frigate is designed to strike surface/underwater combatants and aerial targets in both blue and green waters. The ships operate both in battle groups and as standalone naval platforms. The frigate is armed with an A-190 10 mm naval gun, strike missiles (including the Kalibr and Shtil missile weapons), and torpedoes. The ship can store a Kamov Ka-27 naval rotorcraft. The Project 11356 frigate is 124.8 m long and has a displacement of 3,620 t, a full speed of 30 kt, and a cruise range of 4,850 nm.

The naval platform has been designed with the use of stealth technologies; the acoustic signature of the ship has also been reduced, while the system’s protection against high-precision weapons has been reinforced. The frigate’s powerplant integrates four gas-turbine engines. The ship can employ only one gas-turbine engine to sail in order to increase the service life and cost-effectiveness ratio of the main powerplant.

Another representative of GSL told TASS at the Army 2019 international military-technical forum that the Indian Project 11356 frigate would receive a number of locally built subsystems, including a 76 mm naval gun, the BRAHMOS cruise missiles, two 30 mm anti-aircraft guns, two torpedo launchers, and a rocket launcher. The source added that the sensor suite of the new ship would also comprise several Indian items, including a sonar, an information combat-management system, and an electronic warfare system.

Indian Navy’s new aircraft carrier passes basin trials
VESSELS
December 2, 2020, by Jasmina Ovcina
Indian Navy’s new Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC-1), to be named Vikrant upon commissioning, completed its basin trials at Cochin Shipyard Limited, the navy said.

The trials were held on November 30th and were enabled by close cooperation between the CSL and the navy in compliance with all COVID-19 related health and safety restrictions.

“It is solely due to the astute planning and the implementation of necessary safety measures on ground by the navy and the shipyard that the work onboard aircraft carrier could progress unhindered even during the peak of pandemic,” the navy said.

Basin trials are primarily aimed at proving the performance of the main propulsion plant of the ship in harbour and is a precursor to the ensuing sea trials slated for the first half of 2020.

The extensive trials covered all four LM2500 gas turbines, main gearboxes, shafting and controllable pitch propellers, along with their integrated control systems.

Furthermore, major auxiliary equipment and systems such as steering gear, air conditioning plants, compressors, centrifuges, all 60 critical pumps, power generation and distribution system, major machinery fire-fighting and de-flooding systems, deck machinery, as well as entire internal communication equipment were tested during the trials.

The IAC project is also a true example of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ with close to 75% of the material and equipment onboard the IAC being indigenous. This includes raw materials such as 23000 tons of steel, 2500 kilometers of electrical cables, 150 kilometres of pipes, and 2000 valves as well as finished products.

INS Vikrant will be the largest naval ship ever to be built in India.

According to the Indian Navy, Vikrant will be capable of operating an aircraft mix of the Russian MiG-29K and LCA (Navy) fighters being developed indigenously. Its helicopter component will include the Kamov 31 and the indigenously developed ALH helicopters.

The ship’s ability to sense and control a large air space around it will be enabled by C/D band Early Air Warning Radar, V/UHF Tactical Air Navigational and Direction Finding systems, jamming capabilities over the expected electro magnetic environment and Carrier Control Approach Radars to aid air operations. Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LR SAM) systems with Multi-Function Radar (MFR) and Close- In Weapon System (CIWS) will form the protective suite of the ship.

All weapon systems onboard the carrier will be integrated through an indigenous Combat Management System, being manufactured by Tata Power systems.

India’s only carrier, the INS Vikramaditya, is equipped with a ski-jump ramp to launch aircraft, as is a second carrier - the INS Vikrant - that has yet to enter service.

In US Navy service the Super Hornet is launched by catapults, a capability that could feature on a proposed third Indian aircraft carrier.

“The [ski-jump] testing is going to take place sometime in the first quarter at [NAS] Patuxent River,” says Shockey.

New Delhi has a requirement for 57 carrier-borne fighters - a contest which will pit the Super Hornet against the Dassault Rafale.

In addition, the Indian Navy has elected to proceed with an ambitious all-new twin-engined carrier-based fighter, abandoning its proposed Hindustan Aeronautics LCA Navy MkII.

Sempre achei o INS Vicrant um projeto com jeito e cara de MB. Mas essa interminável construção dele é realmente brochante para quem pensa em um dia vê-lo ostentando o pavilhão nacional. Mesmo assim, o pessoal da engenharia daqui foi dar uma espiada nele para ver o que é que há. Acho que as conversas devem ter sido produtivas, pois ninguém falou mais nada sobre o assunto faz muito tempo.

Quanto ao F-18E em sky jump é até natural que os americanos estejam interessados nesta capacidade do caça da Boeing, pois a marinha indiana não tem muito interesse nos Mig-33K, e só estão com eles para poder ostentar um GAE decente no único Nae operacional que eles tem. E como não sabem mexer com esse negócio de catapultas e o navio já veio com a rampa...

Interessante que a SAAB parece que continua a oferecer o Gripen M para os indianos, já que a concorrência para os 57 caças navais da marinha ainda está aberta. Como sabido de todos, o caça carece ainda ter seu desenvolvimento pago. Os 200 milhões de dólares para o orçamento indiano seria troco de pinga, mas diante da opção já pronta do Rafale M e do próprio SH que pode ser adaptado rapidamente e a menor custo, o caça sueco não tem muitas chances. A não ser que ele ganhe a concorrência para a força aérea indiana. Isso daria com certeza um grande empurrão ao modelo embarcado. Seria bom para eles, e quiçá para nós.

Marinha Indiana vai receber segundo submarino de mísseis balísticos
por Poder Naval | 05/01/2020


INS Arighat em provas de mar

NOVA DELI – A Marinha da Índia receberá um grande impulso com o lançamento de seu segundo submarino de mísseis balísticos. O INS Arighat está nos estágios finais de testes de mar e provavelmente entrará em serviço no início de 2021.

O Arighat é o segundo submarino autóctone de transporte de mísseis balísticos (SSBN) da classe Arihant.

Fontes da área de defesa e segurança disseram que o submarino teve um bom desempenho durante os testes de mar até agora, e acrescentaram que o comissionamento do navio foi atrasado devido à pandemia de coronavírus, de acordo com o jornal online indiano The Print.

Assim que o Arighat entrar em serviço, a Índia estará operando dois SSBNs equipados com o míssil balístico K-15 com alcance de 750 a 1.500 km, projetado para ataques retaliatórios em caso de ataque nuclear.

O Arighat foi lançado discretamente em novembro de 2017 pelo então Ministro da Defesa Nirmala Sitharaman.

Tanto o INS Arihant, que está em implantação operacional, quanto o Arighat têm capacidade para transportar quatro mísseis cada.

Embora o plano original fosse ter quatro submarinos da classe Arihant, ele foi alterado pelo governo da UPA, disseram fontes conhecidas.

Agora, os dois submarinos da classe Arihant com deslocamento de 6.000 toneladas serão acompanhados por dois outros SSBNs de tamanho maior (deslocamento de 7.000 toneladas).

Um fator de diferenciação chave será que os dois navios maiores em construção – S4 e S4+ no Ship Building Center em Visakhapatnam – terão oito tubos de mísseis em vez de quatro.

Atualmente, a Índia também opera um submarino de ataque com propulsão nuclear (SSN) INS Chakra II, que está sendo alugado da Rússia.

Foi em março do ano passado que Índia e Rússia assinaram um acordo de US$ 3 bilhões para o aluguel de um terceiro SSN – Chakra III – que provavelmente estará em águas indianas até 2025, no mínimo.

Submarinos russos estão sendo alugados para treinar tripulações da própria frota de SSBNs da Índia.

Em 2015, o governo de Narendra Modi deu luz verde para construir seis SSNs autóctones. Cerca de dois anos depois, em 2017, o então chefe da Marinha, almirante Sunil Lanba, confirmou que o trabalho nos SSNs havia começado.

Foi em novembro de 2018 que a Índia completou sua tríade nuclear quando o PM Modi anunciou ao mundo a conclusão da primeira patrulha de dissuasão feita pelo INS Arihant.

Com isso, a Índia se juntou a um grupo de elite de países que têm a capacidade de lançar armas nucleares por terra, ar e debaixo d’água. Os únicos outros países capazes disso são EUA, França, Rússia e China.

O INS Arihant foi comissionado em 2016 pelo então Ministro da Defesa Manohar Parrikar, mas um anúncio formal veio apenas dois anos depois.
