Indian Navy adding one new indigenous warship or submarine every 40 days: Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi​

So 9 new ships in 2025? Can you list them? With their tonnage please.

#1 INS Surat (D69, P15B destroyer, ~7000t) c. 01.2025
#2 INS Vagsheer (S-26, Kalvari/Scorpene SSK, ~1700t), c. 01.2025
#3 INS Nilgiri (F33, P17A frigate, ~6500t), c. 01.2025
#4 INS Arnala (P68, ASW-SWC, ~900t), c. 06.2025
#5 INS Tamal (F71, Talwar frigate, ~4000t), c. 07.2025
#6 INS Udaygiri (F35, P17A frigate, ~6500t) c. 08.2025
#7 INS Himgiri (F34, P17A frigate, ~6500t), c. 08.2025
#8 INS Androth (P69, ASW-SWC, ~900t) c. 10.2025
#9 INS Mahe (P80, ASW-SWC, ~900t) c. 11.2025 (scheduled next week)

2025 has probably been a record-breaking year for the Indian Navy. Inductions will continue at pace in the near-term with four additional P17A frigates, two Talwar frigates and thirteen ASW-SWCs to be delivered over the next ~36 months. But there will almost certainly be a lull in combatant inductions for several years beginning late 2020s, with only the NGMV program (Next Generation Missile Vessel, ~1400t, six ships) likely to reach fruition in that period.

INS Tamal was built in Russia. INS Tamal and the Scorpene-class submarine can not be considered indigenous in any form.

Social media is abuzz with tweets showing images and videos of a potential embarrassment for India's multi-role fighter aircraft Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas at the ongoing Dubai Air Show.

The Indian Air Force is in Dubai to participate in the Air Show with the Suryakiran Aerobatic Team and LCA Tejas.

Now, videos of LCA Tejas that are widely being circulated online allegedly show that there was an "oil leak from the fuselage right on the tarmac". It is to be noted that one of the users circulating these videos goes by the handle 'Pakistan First'.

THE WEEK could not independently verify the authenticity of the videos circulating online. One cannot rule out the possibility of attempts to discredit India's bold push to showcase its defence products and capabilities at the Dubai Air Show.

"At the Dubai air show, the Indian Tejas jet faced embarrassment after reports of an oil leak surfaced," claimed a user.
Seen some of the same with other aircrafts at airshows. Have seen F-14 sprinkling oil on the tarmac so badly at Bagotville airshow that multiple metal pans had been put to collect it.

Its just that from a young aircraft like the Tejas, its a bit more embarassing. But on a scorching tarmac it could just be draining fuel/oil due to dilatation if its fuel or oil tank are full.

Either curry or cow urine. Or maybe a proprietary blend of both.
Oh now I get it, so that's why recovering that purity of essence in shoping bags was so necessary.


So that precious bodily fluids can be taken back to HAL, and bless all of the empty shells present there.
