IN should plan for 10-12 destroyers and 18-21 Frigates. The rest of the numbers can be made up corvettes like Kamorta and Koras.

Why would anyone want moskit with 120 km range with Brahmos with 300 km range is available readily?

It only has 32 VLS tubes for SAM's.

IN will not go for AEGIS ever. Will be difficult to integrate with Barak-8 and Brahmos-II.

Clearly the talwar is superior in your opinion purely based on its Nationality, not on the capabilities availed to it by its sensor and weapons suite; so forgive me for not continuing this off-topic "debate". Clearly the Type-054A which even pakis don't want to touch is superior is based on...

Sorry if I sound rude but most of them have really no clue on what is being said. They are just fan boys who believe their navy by trying to copy what USN is doing with their inferior weapons have the same capability as USN. No one has said 88 Shtil's. I said SAM's. The two Kastan's have a...

Lol Chinese navy in real combat will be at the bottom of scs. USN and JSMDF are both far far superior to the Chinese joke of a navy. The silkworm missile has been fired by Iraq and did not fare too well. The type054a has been evaluated by PN and they would prefer the old OHPs.

BS.... as usual. The type-054 is inferior to Talwars which carry 88 SAM's. Yes 64 are short range but the IN did not find the Shtil VLS any superior to arm launcher. No one will compare Kolkotas to type-054s. I only consider them as rather multipurpose P-28's.

LoL big diff between sending a Type-054 on a flag showing operation and sending them with air craft carrier into hostile waters. They will not last. The useless CODAD will not allow it to keep up with carrier or will slow the CVG down. So yes I am sure the ship like the saryu class OPV's can...

If you are talking about Type-054A type frigates they have no endurance t go beyond their shores. Though I agree IN needs to increase orders for P-28A and P-17a.

The Khukris are getting old and will retire in the next 5 years. Koras will continue for a while. We need to order the P-28A soon.

8.5 Aussie dollars is 7.93 US $. Still a hefty amount for just 3 AAW destroyers.

Mis-management is endemic to Aussie naval programs. Collins being prime example of it. Point is Kolkota class is good enough in Asia and our neighbourhood.

Since someone had bought up the aussie ships. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/latest-news/urgent-action-vital-on-warship-project-pm/story-fn3dxiwe-1227006926525 PRIME Minister Tony Abbott wants urgent action to address the significant delays and cost overruns that are hampering major...

Never going to happen. Even the korean offer with AEGIS will not be taken up by IN. Most likely P-17 follow on with Barak-8 and MF-STAR to standardize IN requirements.

Let's be realistic. The PDV is to big for ship based abm.

Not true abhi. You need sufficient amount of both. Ordering 3-4 instead of 6 is simply ridiculous.

LOL who is hyping ? The Type-052 is being pimped out as AEGIS equivalent, though it clearly is not. Yes it is operational thats all that can be said at the moment.

Of course MF-STAR is only currently being tried out by Sailors. It has just entered service with IN. I am responding to people who are buying into nonsense about Type-052's being anything even remotely capable as AEGIS class. No one has claimed MF-STAR is better than AEGIS, infact I already...

The turks selected the HQ-9 just because US would never offer any tech transfer to turkey. The patriots are outdated crap on the lines of Hq-9 and S-300 currently. You just proved my point that Hq-9's and Type-052's are no where comparable to Aegis class. The Type-52's are the best AAW...
