There was an RFI also before from navy. Russians dont have anything to offer here other than what we already have.
We need something like south korean CIWS-2.
That is just a souped up version of the 30mm Thales Goalkeeper CIWSThere was an RFI also before from navy. Russians dont have anything to offer here other than what we already have.

of the 1980s.
We could do something similar in house by pairing the AK-630 with EO+FCR on a self contained, stealthy turret.
Add VSHORAD tubes on either side if the IN insists.

All designs are like that only. No new breakthrough has happened here.
There are some new products on the intl market but those are out of reach for us. Rheinmetall is still blacklisted so its 35mm Millennium gun is not an option.
Then, there's the similar Turkish Korkut 35mm but that's a no go for obvious reasons. This gun has also been picked up by the Pak Navy for their Ada class corvettes.
Phalanx+SeaRAM is probably the only other gun-missile combo ciws but the IN doesn't seem to be interested.
Turkey has been seeking to return the S-400 air defense systems it bought from Russia, Erdogan raised the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting in Turkmenistan
Erdogan called for Turkey’s re-entry into the US-led F-35 fighter jet-program, saying it would help cement ties with Washington and strengthen the security of NATO.
Members within NATO itself do not trust the Turks. If people track Erdogan's decisions, you can pretty much understand their mindset. However, I can understand why the Turks are looking for a way back in.
NATO is a White Christian Organization..... Turkey is a Muslim nation..... Only a fool would trust turkey given Turkey & Christian Europe brutal bloody History.
Confirmed S-300 SAM System downed an F-16 of Ukrainian Armed forces..... 2 missiles were fired.... Second one destroyed the target
They and Azeris are in it because of ones oil & a gateway to that black sea. Major ships in and out via turk control point.
Huge letdown, just walking around in snow and storytelling. This half hearted attempt is why Rus struggle in a direct battle compared to us.
4 million $ a pop..... Look like all are 40N6 missiles
Defence panel gives nod for 288 S-400 missiles, used during Operation Sindoor, from Russia
The Indian Air Force is making a case for the purchase of five more S-400 systems from Russia, along with the Pantsir short-range system.| India News

The AoN cleared by the DAC will cover 120 short-range missiles and 168 long-range missiles, and the acquisition will be done through the Fast Track Procedure (FTP), sources told Hindustan Times. India is going to get two more S-400 systems, already contracted, in June and November this year, they added.
The Indian Air Force is making a case for the purchase of five more S-400 systems from Russia, along with the Pantsir short-range system. The Russian missile system is effective in combating armed and kamikaze drones. The S-400 and Pantsir missile systems can be integrated into a two-layer defence system to take out aerial objects fired from across the border.
The stocking up and replenishment of S-400’s 400 km, 200 km, 150 km, and 40 km range surface-to-air missiles were deemed necessary, as the Indian armed forces used the air defence system extensively to bring down Pakistani fighter aircraft, early warning and intelligence-gathering aircraft, and armed drones during Operation Sindoor in May 2025.
After India hit a wide-bodied aircraft inside Punjab in Pakistan at a distance of 314km using an S-400 long-range missile, Rawalpindi virtually shifted all its operational aircraft towards its airbases in the west near Afghanistan and Iran.
Multiple Twitter accounts reporting PANTSIR Acquisition , For S 400 protection
????????? why? we have multiple systems that can do the same work as the pantsir? akash NG, QRSAM ,MRSAM? why would they buy a system thats been performing horrendously in ukraine?
I refuse to believe this is true and if it is i simply give up on our indegenous defence.
IIrc, Pantsir failed trails under the IA SPAAGM requirement which was meant to replace Shilka and Tunguska. Now, the IAF wants it??
There might be some advantages of having Common Algorithms and Signal Processing in addition to Common Hardware ie Entirely Russian equipment
Secondly a newer version of Pantsir has been Shown to India
It has had a subpar performance during the RU-Ukr war. Seems to be RUMINT for now. We'll get to know in some time I guess.
