Joint Strike Missile
There are plans to develop a multi-role version of the NSM, with ground strike being an option. This missile will be integrated with the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II “Joint Strike Fighter”, and might be integrated with the Eurofighter and the JAS 39 Gripen as well. Studies have shown that the F-35 would be able to carry two of these in its internal bays, while additional missiles could be carried externally.

According to Kongsberg, this “multi-role NSM” is the only anti-ship missile that will fit inside the F-35’s internal bays.[1] Lockheed Martin and Kongsberg have signed a joint-marketing agreement for this air-launched version of the NSM, called the Joint Strike Missile (JSM). The project is funded by Norway and Australia.[2][3] The JSM is planned to feature a two-way communications line, so that the missile can communicate with the central control room or other missiles in the air. By September 2007 the missile development is still only at the planning stage.[4]

Improved features for the Joint Strike Missile include:

Ability to attack sea and land based targets
Multiple arial launch platforms (F-35, Gripen NG, Eurofighter Typhoon, MH-60 Seahawk, P-8 Poseidon)
Longer range than NSM
Long-term, production start in 2013

Back to Indian navy?

Possibly there is, just aft of the funnel. Although, I’ve heard an opinion that the bigger radome is Koral satellite datalink and the radome aft of funnel is Centaur satcom.

Right, just below the left side of that rear radome. There’s a bunch of small domes added around the rear mast too, aside from Monolit.

Enough of that petty fanboy pissing contests:mad::mad:

Here’s something new and exiting…Point of interest, Urans and what appears to be a Mineral FCR…

Yaroslav Murdy

That image is a bit odd. Take for example, the red along the waterline.

The second NEUSTRASYMY class was supposed to be armed with BrahMos, but the MURDY seems to carry Uran. I was wrong about the BrahMos? So the standard missile will be the Uran? In such a case seems NEUSTRASYMY vessels underarmed.

It’s got 6 nice big 553mm otpedo tubes which, in addition to heavy weight torpedos, may also launch missiles.

Which vessel are you talking about Wan?

PTOEIII! :rolleyes:

Just the launcher arm was removed and a plate bolted over where it used to be. None of the below spaces equipment was removed, just placed in layup and no longer maintained.

So, you are expecting the arm to be remounted. Then the question becomes, what missile (SM1MR or SM2MR), assuming the STIR is easily refitted too?

That image is from 2003. A year later, she no longer has the Mk13 and STIR. So, wondering what “The frigate will be refurbished with anti-submarine missile and other latest systems at a cost of $ 65 million. ” wil entail.

Ugly and overloaded with a multitude of weapon systems. Hideous! Yuck! :diablo:
