@Pingle MLU of INS Mumbai D62. Now she has also received Barak-1 missile.

Some noticeable add-ons:
1. Lynx FCR
2. Terma Scanter SSR
3. 76mm SRGM
4. 4x2 Brahmos on inclined launchers replace 16 Uran surface-surface missiles
5. The another change is Fregat M2EM from MR 755...

Luckily, Delhi class destroyers and all 3 Shivalik class have Barak 1 missiles for short range air defense. The Delhi class has some saving grace with 2 3S-90 launchers, one fore and one aft doubling their rate of fire vs Talwar batch 2.

One more Vishakhapatnam class destroyer and 7 Nilgiri class frigates will enter service with 32 Barak 8 each, enough to move all current non MF-STAR ships out of carrier escort duties. Further help arrives with 4 Talwar Batch 3 class ships that are reportedly being fitted with Shtil VLS as seen on their sister Admiral Grigorovich class frigates and variants of which are used by Pakistani Type 054AP and Chinese Type 054A frigates. This gives 12 more vessels with up-to-date AD systems.

Why didn't they equip mumbai class with latest Barak versions on vishakhPattnamn class? Brahmos addition is really a great news....

The entire superstructure will have to be replaced to make way for MF-STAR as the Fregat M2EM/ELM-2221 cannot provide firing solution for Barak 8.
Too expensive and not worth it

If this is G to G basis off the shelf offer then we should reject and simply go for another 6 scorpeans..... Germany I anyways don't trust on such big ticket items like submarines....

U216 is an evolved design and afaik was offered to us long time back.

I don't doubt German technology only I'm worried about is their strange and wired policies to backstabbing customers.... if G2G is the solution then why not do it with French for their shorfin barracuda class......

Should not be a concern here - you have Israeli support on this deal.

Well they aren't the only on in race, Navantia group has presented their S80 class sub. Hope the decision is taken quickly, and this time a straight up order of 9 to 12 is given instead of just 6 like Scorpene.

But our idiots know how to bungle up things well.

I think Spain will never be able to bag something like submarine contract from India as even S80 is a great submarine Spanish clout on world stage comes no where close to Germany..... they may win smaller contracts like artillery or such types but big ticket items like submarine India will definitely want to be in German good books than Spain
