MyTake | American RIM-116 is the CIWS benchmark : 9 km range, 73 kg missile, with a 21-missile Mk 49 launcher weighing 5,777 kg. But its bulk limits the number of launcher stations a ship can carry.
Indiaās new VSHORAD missile, with comparable range, allows for compact, fixed deck-mounted launchers. By distributing multiple such launchers across a warship, India can significantly increase point-defence density, tighten engagement envelopes, and boost survivability against saturation and swarm threats.

RT by @alpha_defense: On a related note, many Western solutions, including defence, have become a lot more technologically complex than what is understood mainstream in rest of the world. The Americans have created a moat by initially being atleast one gen ahead.
Not just defence between many technologies across hardware and complex are incredibly complex that another nation trying to leap frog/copy to that level and jump canāt do with just few sparks of brilliance.
China has been incredibly good by doing multiple things in a sustained manner to achieve where it is. An all of nation approach, a whatever it takes approach and knocking on all doors in parallel to strike gold in atleast once across the breadth and depth of technologies.
This is why I laugh and sometimes look with despair when some people comment like āgive jet engine/AMCA project to our IITs they can get it doneā. Lol no. It requires a lot lot more than what our institutes are doing. From IC engines, Jet engines, chips, EUV machines, it is no more one generic 4/yr education and just grunt work away from mastering.
Cos the moat is not skills. But the elusive combination of tech and art derived by sheer iterating and experimenting and adding complexities by the 1000s and internalizing the patterns of what works and what not. these are not in text books.
These are not in few labs but decentralised distributed across institutes and pvt sector R&D headsā minds and test reports and 100s of experimental technologies attempted and lying around in labs undocumented.
At the right visibility of a problem and demand these pieces are put together in sandboxes and tried to see which fits and which additional layer of tech is added.
Any other nation would have to become a tech juggernaut churning rewarding and incentivising every possible ideas for a problem and testing them than just 1 or 2.
In the end, the product can only be touched and understood by the final integrators. No more ātrain my in house maintenance crew to be able to solve thisā. Digital twins to the degree of granular details and accompanying diagnostic abilities may help in reducing the tech gap for a non inventing user.

Russiaās Reported Offer to India š®š³:
š¢6 refurbished Kilo-class subs (6-year delivery timeline)
š¢Another SSN lease (Chakra-III type)
š¢1500 km Kalibr LACMs - Deal Signed
š¢ Upgrades to Indian Kilos to fire missiles from all 6 tubes
My Take:
ā
SSN lease only makes sense if tied directly to Indiaās indigenous SSN program for crew training, infrastructure calibration, operational familiarisation. Otherwise, itās an expensive indulgence.
ā More Kilos? Indiaās already retiring them. Bringing old hulls back into service however ārefurbishedā undermines long-term fleet modernisation. P-75I (and future P-76) should remain priority.
ā Kalibr LACMs? Limited utility now when:
āļøIndigenous cruise missiles (like Nirbhay/LRLACM variants) are nearing operational status
āļøIndia itself is reportedly offering Nirbhay variants to Greece
Bottom Line:
Stopgap imports and reheated Cold War hardware are not the answer. India needs to bet decisively on indigenous builds, P-75I/P-76 pipelines, and operationally relevant tech.
