On the frigate of the Indian Navy, the Russian-made electronic warfare system was replaced with an Indian version

28

The Indian Navy has upgraded its guided missile frigate INS Tabar. The ship is now equipped with a new electronic warfare system created by the domestic defense company Bharat Electronics.

As part of the modernization on the frigate Tabar of the Indian Navy, the Russian-made electronic warfare system was replaced with an Indian version. Now the ship has a new electronic equipment Varuna, developed by the Defense Electronics Research Laboratory of India. The system is capable of monitoring up to 500 radio sources in dense environments.



The guided missile frigate was also equipped with new radars, presumably produced by the German marine electronics firm Atlas Elektronik. In addition, at Tabara, the Russian Harpoon-Ball radar of the surface-to-surface missile system was replaced by a Scanter from the Danish company Terma.

The ship recently arrived on a friendly visit to St. Petersburg to participate in the celebration of the Day of the Naval fleet RF. We can say that the frigate visited its homeland, because it was built in Russia and transferred to the Indian Navy in 2004.

    This is normal, they have long been striving to do something of their own.

      Well done, what to say. Not like some of the irreplaceable managers.

        For managers, irreplaceable, effective means, observing and decisive, some do not.

        If he were, he uttered a sacramental phrase - We have no irreplaceable ones !!! - so immediately their effectiveness would increase, and their Wishlist would be tempered to the level of their absence at all.

            Well done, well done.
            But what is the quality?
            When INSAS launched its production of automatic machines, half a million scrap was riveted. The probability of a weapon jamming 3% is a marriage. Not to mention the fact that some plastic parts crack when the temperature drops. And this is an automaton, in which, if a defect, it is quickly detected during operation.
            And electronic warfare is such a thing that the REAL quality will be clear only in battle. During tests, they can report that everything is in order, preserving their shoulder straps.

        Now I would like to compare the "efficiency" after such a replacement.
        But wangyu, Hindus will dance instead of applying all these systems.

      And what's their own?)))) German company, Danish, perhaps Jews added something))) and the Indians are sure that along with the imported tsyatski not "came" imported "bookmarks" that can put electronics at any time?

        Bahram and something else there is definitely their own ... the main thing is to convince yourself ... or to grease it well!
        who knows what and how they do there.

        And the Indians are sure that along with the imported tsyatski not imported "bookmarks" have come in, which can put electronics at any moment?

        So they want to use India as a counterbalance to China, and for this they are arming. Therefore, about the bookmarks, the Indians may not "bathe".

    Russian radars were replaced by German and Danish ones, they replaced the electronic warfare equipment with supposedly their own (?) And proudly reported the result. But this is their internal affair, tk. when the need arises for them to fight with this equipment.

      Well, I wouldn't be so worried about them. We delivered the ship and received the money. It should be borne in mind that these are export versions of our equipment, with reduced capabilities. Maybe they found something better, but in the event of a military clash, bribes are smooth from us.

    Hindus are still clients. The main thing for them is that the rollback is good, the rest is not important. We need to learn from the paddling pool to vparivat at exorbitant prices. And not transfer technology for thanks.

    Polika ... the vector is changing and we are being moved out of the market and apparently India is turning towards the former owners of the colonialists

    the ship is 17 years old ... the same, or rather more, taking into account export versions, electronic warfare systems and radar. Therefore, they replaced it.

      The "sadness" is that they did not replace it with something Russian. If everything replaced was really made in India - one thing. And so, German, Danish, etc.

      Either the Russian manufacturers do not have anything worthy to offer, or the service is so useless that even the best radar turns into a piece of iron over time.

        And you do not admit that the Indians put "their own" - licensed from the Russian Federation (for example, SORPTION, PRERIE, etc.)?

          If licensed from the Russian Federation, I'm all for it! Any information on this?

      Then there will be problems with unification in terms of parameters. Not only for power supply 115V, 400Hz (3xF).

    A good example for our edification. I will not be surprised if the Indians will soon start selling their weapons to the republics of the former USSR

      Hindus make more weapons for themselves, and they buy from others. Their needs are too great, they prevent New Delhi from becoming a serious arms exporter. After all, India is "butting" with two nuclear powers - China and Pakistan. For them, this is more urgent and more painful than the showdown of the West and Russia.

    Russian electronic warfare systems are being replaced because, as a rule, these are simple radio jammers.
    Powerful radio transmitters that jam everything in a wide frequency range.
    Both ours and others. And at the same time they shine brightly for the enemy.
    Sometimes in war, such a jammer is better than nothing.
    But more often a thin radio interception with distortion is required, not flaring
    the source of electronic warfare itself.

    A lot has changed since 2004 !!! In addition, the whole feature of electronic warfare, RPD and RTR is to update the radio frequency bases (signatures) of a potential enemy. Accordingly, in order to effectively resist (put obstacles, etc.), the foe MUST CONDUCT RTR REGULARLY, which India should not do, due to the lack (obsolescence) of these funds.
