Considered a better finish for a ship compared to being sold and broken for scrap.

The model is of the Rajput class.

Compare that to Karachi

Nice post. The only area where Project 15 Alphas and Bravos may be considered under armed is in the area of SAMs. The MFSTAR LRSAM combo is world class, but IMHO it could do with a PDMS which is cheaper and potentially more numerous. Hopefully the VL-SRSAM will provide the same. Aside from...

No-no, while the order book has slimmed down a bit, the 40-ish orders included other types as well. There are different ways to count the orders. For example, Navy chief would never count SSBNs in his count.

Interesting question. Superficially, both Yarmook and Saryu Class OPVs (Samarth class is a derivative of Saryu for ICG) are similar in appearance and capability. Saryu and Samarth are however larger ships. Aside from this the main difference in capability are; - As commissioned, Yarmook and...

You are not far off. The Navy of the late 80s early 90s was of a different level altogether. Aside from technology and size, the navy had rich operational experience in Sri Lanka, Maldives and Somalia. The officer cadre was dominated by those who had fought and won the 71 war. For...
