Damn. This is completely out of blue. Never heard of it. Common destroyer design as of JMSDF.
Wow, looks like our sucessor to the p18 or a later version of the p18? or it could simply be common design of sub systems etc? completely out of the blue
Tabloids written exclusive news item on this yet?

Willing to bet this will never get anywhere. Oh well, I guess it doesn't hurt to launch a bunch of studies.
same lol, there's a high chance its going to be only subsystems like the unicorn mast etc that we will design together.
5 destroyers in range of 11,000 ton, to get AoN by March of 2026. Contracts to be awarded by March 2028. Take another 5 years, so 2033.
We need a P15C batch in the interim.

Indian Navy to seek Govt approval for five next generation missile destroyers
With China augmenting its naval fleet, the Indian Navy is set to seek the government’s approval to construct at least five next generation guided missile destroyers that will not only pack more firepower but will also carry a host of emerging technologies making them “smart warships”, a top...

The P-15 core design is of 1980s vintage. It has already maxxed out its potential. We'd be better off building more P-17Bs instead until NGD comes online.5 destroyers in range of 11,000 ton, to get AoN by March of 2026. Contracts to be awarded by March 2028. Take another 5 years, so 2033.

No, 8-10 in the long term is enough. Rest should be for SSN/SSGNs.
We don't need too many surface ships, already have enough firepower.
The latter is a bigger deterrent.
Not to mention coastal anti ship HGVs with 1,500 - 2,000 km range. Production of HGVs their maintenance are costly.
Anything interm will take a similar time. Maybe 1 year early. Not worth it.5 destroyers in range of 11,000 ton, to get AoN by March of 2026. Contracts to be awarded by March 2028. Take another 5 years, so 2033.

There is a sanctioned strength for each type of vessels. I read about 15 DDGs and 30 FFGs as the current sanctioned number which previously was 11 DDGs and 24 FFGs.
So if we do a breakdown then we have:
• 03 P-15 + 03 P-15A + 04 P-15B + 05 NGD = 15 DDGs
• 03 P-16A + 10 P11536 + 03 P-17 + 07 P-17A + 07 P-17B = 30 FFGs
So if we do a breakdown then we have:
• 03 P-15 + 03 P-15A + 04 P-15B + 05 NGD = 15 DDGs
• 03 P-16A + 10 P11536 + 03 P-17 + 07 P-17A + 07 P-17B = 30 FFGs
We obviously need to re-evaluate the force levels now.
We should have enough that
1. Assets alongside Gujarat and Maharashtra can put forward a strike force enough to conduct operations against Pakistan.
2. Karwar should have enough assets to support a CBG formation in Arabian Sea.
3. Vizag should have enough to support 1 CBG, a taskforce for Bangladesh and a taskforce for IOR.
4. A&N should also have 1 taskforce.
By taskforce i mean that 4-6 P15A/B,P17A deployed at a time, meaning atleast 10 vessels.
I count 5-6 taskforces.
That means around 30 vessels deployed. That means atleast 60 in inventory.
That's atleast 15 addition capital vessels.
The immediate priority for the IN is the replacement of the 5 Rajput class DDGs which have already started retiring.
However, the long-term requirement is for 8 hulls to eventually replace the Delhi class by the late 2030s-early 40s.
The IN may be planning a 5+3 build program for NGD.
