Looks like Mistral is much better than San Antonio!!

Its a open tender anyone can participate. MDL is the one shouting for more scorpene not IN.

I dont get your point, sorry!

Everyone will increase the cost. But my point is we wont buy mistral for what Russian bought from french.

Its 16,000 crore not 1,600. In Russian deal first two ships which the agreement is signed for 1.7 bill USD will be constructed in Russian shipyards, this includes ToT. Another agreement for 3rd and 4th ships expected to be signed this year end. In our case total deal is around 16k crore for...

We ll take another 2 or 3 years to sign the contract so we can definitely see some increase in cost.

BR, Russia signed an agreement for 1.7 billion for two ships. French will surely increase the cost even more for us in the name of transfer of technology.

Does the deal come with only the vessel or it includes all machinery ?

Any links ? Scorpene delay is due to initial teething problem and absorption of technology.

DCDN must have gotten RFP for Foudre class. I could be wrong.

Who cares it exceeds or not ? the RFP is for LPD and the mistral aint one. Its like IN will choose a destroyer for the RFP of frigates cos destroyer exceeds frigates in all parameters.

What made you think India ll choose mistral ? India need LPDs something like san antonio class.

Mistral isn't a LPD.

Navy gets nod for LPDs' acquisition The Indian Navy is fast building up on its capabilities to sea lift and to launch assault on both water and land. The central government has given approval for the acquisition of four landing platform docks (LPDs) to transport and land various elements of...

Can L&T shipyard near Chennai build these vessels ? Because they are begging MoD for shipbuilding contracts.

^^ We will build these warships in our shipyards so the cost will come down. Even if it costs 1 billion each the total will be 4*1 billion(warship) + 4*250million(P-8)= 5 billion. I have a doubt whether these warships comes with all the expeditionary vehicles plus helicopters or only the...

What are the roles of assault ship and transport dock?? In my understanding the primary role of assault ship is to support the ground troops and also used to transport troops and transport docks are used to move heavy tanks, troops etc. If i am wrong please do correct me.
