same here mate may kochi sail the seas and live up to her namesakes reputation that of The queen of the (arabian) seasGlad to see a Distroyer with my hometown's name. cheers!
huge difference between the costs. if Aegis destroyer was built in India, it would cost atleast 30% less. Shipbuilding can be much cheaper in India but with all the other problems, Industry couldn't exploit the potential.Of indigenous design, 90 per cent of a Project 15-A ship is constructed through the use of local material and equipment. At per unit cost of Rs3,800 crore, the three Project 15-A Kolkata-class destroyers will cost the navy approximately Rs11,000 crore ($950 million), including the cost of long-term spare parts.
Compare this with what Australia is set to pay for the acquisition of three 6,250-ton destroyers, fitted with the Lockheed Martin Aegis radar and fire control system. The total cost of the three units will amount to Rs32,000 crore ($8 billion), at a per unit cost of approximately Rs11,000 crore.
The price of each ship is about as much as what India will pay out for all three of its Kolkota class destroyers.
You are forgetting anti-ship capability...if F22p is a Frigate then the Shivalik class and Talwar class are destroyers....:viannen_10:Destryers have more powerful anti air weapons and land attack systems -frigates mainly for anti submarine operation with limited anti air capabiltiy so normally operate in conjunction with destroyers
Well completion of ship in the given time frame is a very rare occurrence even in developed countries...this is because of a lot of outsourced parts and only integration to the hull takes place in the docks. These sub-contractors must develop, build and supply the parts in the particular time frame. This is very hard as many of the systems are new and need extensive testings. Only the follow ups will be bit faster.
already the construction of Scorpenes delayed, only god knows about other projects,I hope all those 34 ships and six submarines get inducted in due time and without any major delays. Other then that GO NAVY.:2guns:
No that is a mistake. Brahmos are not nuclear capable. But surely Indian surface fleet lacks long range cruise missile capability. I am sure they will go for Nirbhay onboard future P-15B ships. We need a lot of Nirbhay to be deployed.Lethal ,the report stays that ins kochi can have nuclear warhead so are they going to use nuke warhead in brahmos or the report says that this stealth ship is capable of launching nuclear ballistic missile?
