Another One Goes To Sea...

I mean Talwar-class (pr. 11356 FFG) for the Indian Navy. 

It is a powerful strike package with 800 km range supersonic BrahMos (Russian-Indian derivative of P-800 Onyx) missiles and Shtil (navalized version of Buk-M2) AD system with indigenous Indian comm suite. Considering the fact that Russian-Indian Joint Venture BrahMos was working on hypersonic anti-shipping missile, it is conceivable that Indian frigates of this class will be able to carry hypersonic variants of 3M22 Zircon. Recall, that Zircon is based on P-800 Onyx and fits into 3C14 VLS installed on Talwars. 

Now per strikes on Kiev--Luch Design Bureau and SBU operations center have been hit, but this is not what matters. This--does. 

Депутаты Верховной рады Украины почти в полном составе пропустили заседание после ударов ВС России по пункту управления СБУ, сообщил нардеп Алексей Гончаренко (внесен в России в список террористов и экстремистов). По словам Гончаренко, на заседание явилось всего 10% депутатов, передает «Российская газета». «Из 450 мест в парламенте было занято только 45. Мощно», – с иронией написал Гончаренко в своем Telegram-канале.

Translation: Almost all of the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine missed the meeting after the Russian Armed Forces struck the SBU command post, said MP Oleksiy Goncharenko (included in the Russian list of terrorists and extremists). According to Goncharenko, only 10% of the deputies showed up for the meeting, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports. "Out of 450 seats in parliament, only 45 were occupied. Powerful," Goncharenko wrote ironically on his Telegram channel.

Correct. This is how it is going to be now and each of them should learn the hard way that Russia changed the MO. NATO's people already know this.
