Multi-role stealth guided missile ship is an upgraded Krivak III class frigate, of which six are already in service with Indian Navy. It was commissioned on 9 December last year.
Keeping cost in mind, the Kalvari refit is likely to be carried out by Navy’s own dockyard rather than by Mazagon Docks Limited (MDL), which had manufactured the submarines.
The new submarines will see certain design changes and will be similar to the one being supplied to Brazilian Navy. This also makes the 3 slightly larger than the previous 6.
Vulnerability of critical infrastructure, China’s destabilising activities, and unregulated AI use make it clear that waiting for a full-fledged conflict to address security concerns is not an option.
India also developing 87 Twin Engine Deck Based Fighters. Indian Navy initially sought 145, based on three-carrier force plan, but govt advised planning based on two-aircraft carrier force.
Govt was against Navy’s view that it needs 3 aircraft carriers; the force believed 2 aircraft carriers should be available at all times even if one was undergoing refits.
The attack on Chhayanaut, newspaper offices, and the public lynching of a Hindu man show that Bangladesh is heading toward Islamist rule, far removed from electoral democracy.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
