India finalizing mega stealth frigates' project

[Apollyon]

firstly they said $5 millon for one ship..and they hike it to $20 million per ship...
shit Russians

I think you forgot to add 2 zeroes, $500 million and $2000 million.
Although Project-17 Class Frigates cost around $650 million.
Also the program cost of Project-17A class of $10 Billion include the modernization of shipyards, acquiring machinery, designing and lot other things including weapons.

you know what- this p-17a is follow on of p-17. p-17 ship went seaborne 2 years back for sea trail and since then nothing is done regarding so called follow on

Thats because P 17 Shivalik class has three ships with the third being commissioned now. Only after that will they lay the keel for the 17A's. All three 17's rolled out within 3 years of each other, which is not bad.

If IN can roll out 1 destroyer, 1 frigate and 3 corvettes every year, it is more than sufficient for the surface fleet, not considering AC's.

sir what im trying to say is that last of shivalik class was made seaborne more than a year back and since then the yard is lying idle. this is wastage of resources

They were waiting for upgradation of MDL for modular construction to complete, which is due for this year end then they will start construction of newer ships

MDL is getting u[graded since its inception. they have so many yards. which one is getting upgraded. already msl is making one or the other ship. its just an excuse

That class of Ship have 2 main gun on port-side as well as starbord side as well, Not according to the model..

 

[shiphone]

the variant of 'Horizon class frigate' i thought I had made it clear...

and I thought it might be some Export variant of horizon class....

1. oto 127 mm , not the british 114 mm
2. the flat VLS deck
3. EMPAR Phased Array Radar, not the SAMPSON radar

shit Russians

Even if you went wrong with costs. P-17 and P-17A have nothing to do with Russia. These are indigenous designs with western engines, electronics and radars.

They were speaking about talwar class imported from russia.
The actual cost of 3 frigates was 1.6 billion $ and later they asked 100 million $.
So total cost of 3 advanced talwar class (not the 1st three) is 1.7 billion $

[Kunal Biswas]

Nowadays almost all 3rd Generation Stealth Ships looks the same..

 

[Apollyon]

More like Horizon Class of French Navy, 6000+ tons

Somebody had kept his/ her pistol at MMS's head, at point blank.

Like he/ she wants to say that, if you ever try to get new frigates from other than the Russians.

That's it, your head gone.

Forget it. India is not going to get any frigates developed by someone else.

 

[Bheeshma]

The P-17a will be in the ball park of P-17's.

 

[Defcon 1]

[ice berg]
