The destroyer generations increasingly display a recognizable Indian appearance. Rajput retains an unmistakably Soviet silhouette, while Delhi begins to move away from that inheritance.

This visual identity is presented as part of building national presence alongside the growth in domestic naval capability. The comparison follows outward form across the generations rather than relying solely on weapon lists and displacement figures.
