Извиняюсь за возможно глупый вопрос, но где собственно "остекленение" или так и надо, или потом доделают)?

больше...Индия ввела в эксплуатацию свой первый авианосец собственной постройки, стремясь противостоять гораздо более крупному и растущему флоту военных кораблей Китая, а также расширить возможности индийского судостроения.

INS Vikrant, чье название на санскрите означает “мощный” или “отважный”, является вторым по величине действующим авианосцем Индии и присоединяется к INS Vikramaditya советской эпохи, который был куплен у России в 2004 году для защиты Индийского океана и Бенгальского залива.

Спроектированный ВМС Индии и построенный на верфи Кочин на юге Индии, новый 262-метровый (860 футов) INS Vikrant был спущен на воду премьер-министром Нарендрой Моди в пятницу в рамках празднования 75-летия независимости страны от британского правления.

Моди не просто увеличил военно-морской потенциал страны, он подчеркнул важность того, что Индия в настоящее время является лишь одной из немногих стран, имеющих собственную программу производства авианосцев.

Japan to export to India stealth antennas equipped on new destroyer

KYODO NEWS KYODO NEWS - Oct 15, 2022 - 20:35 | All, World, Japan
Japan is planning to export to India stealth antennas equipped on a new Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer, as the two countries strengthen security cooperation, government sources said Saturday.

If realized, it would be the first export case under a Japan-India agreement on defense equipment and technology transfer signed in 2015.

The envisioned export is intended to prompt India to reduce its reliance on Russia in procuring military equipment and boost defense ties between Japan and India amid China's military rise, the sources said.

Japan is eager to increase its defense equipment and technology exports to prop up the domestic defense industry, although it sets strict conditions due to its war-renouncing Constitution.

For instance, the three overarching principles on the transfer of defense equipment say that the transfer should not be used for offense but purposes such as surveillance and minesweeping.

Japan plans to export to India a system called Unicorn, in which numerous antennas are housed in a horn-shaped structure. It is equipped on the MSDF's new destroyer FFM commissioned in 2022.

By covering the antennas in one structure, the Unicorn system can reduce the reflection of enemy radio waves. In previous Japanese destroyers, each antenna was exposed on the mast.

Japan and India agreed to cooperate on the transfer of the Unicorn system when their foreign and defense ministers met in Tokyo in September for the so-called two-plus-two meeting, the sources said.

While Japan is concerned about China's growing maritime assertiveness, India has a long-standing border dispute with the Asian power.

Japan and India are part of the Quad, a four-way security framework that also includes Australia and the United States, with China's growing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region being one of their most pressing issues.

At the two-plus-two meeting, Japan told India it supports the South Asian country's efforts to diversify sources of arms procurements, the sources said.

Following the meeting, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh visited the MSDF's Yokosuka base in Kanagawa Prefecture. The minister is believed to have inspected the Unicorn system mounted on the new destroyer, Kumano, and was likely briefed on its capabilities.

Aside from India, Japan has signed similar defense equipment transfer agreements with 11 countries — the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

The agreements came as the government led by the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe relaxed the rules on the transfer of defense equipment and technology in 2014 in the first major overhaul of the country's long-held arms embargo.

Japan aims to boost arms exports, but only one contract for a finished product — air defense radars — has been concluded with the Philippines. The slow start for such exports is partly because of high prices.

Ahead of the planned revision of the National Security Strategy, the country's long-term security and diplomatic policy guidelines, at the end of this year, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has proposed to ease the restrictions to allow more equipment to be exported.
