Any civilian shipyard will require huge amount of investment to upgrade its facility in order to reach military tech standard.Indian shipyards are waiting for orders, specially the private shipyards are waiting desperately and will not sustain for long if condition remains as they are now.
French are happy to fix it first and then offer it.Should we acquire these Mistrals? Let us ask these questions first:
Please remember, a lot of Russian equipment that was installed on the Mistral will be taken off and returned to Russia, so even if the Mistral is acquired, we would still have to invest a lot of money in importing components for it to be usable.
- Do we have a requirement for a helicopter carrier?
- Are Indian shipyards capable of making one domestically?
- What is the price we should be willing to pay for it?
The French navy's mistral and dixmude were major players in the Libyan campaign against gaddafi by NATO.Which war was mistral proven in?
Which war was mistral proven in?
