    Project-17A Nilgiri-class Frigate Thread

    What you see today has been conceived 5-7 years ago. Secondly, not just radar but the missile matters too. Israel will not let MRSAM/ Barak 8 to be intregated with any other radar. Thirdly, as far as naval radars are concerned, our experience is indeed less with only Revati radar ( modified...

    Project-17A Nilgiri-class Frigate Thread

    What is to be seen that, the Talwar class which is being constructed at Goa shipyard will have some Indian radars and sensors replacing the Russian ones. So, definitely the amount of imported equipment will reduce with subsequent classes of ships.

    There is a AoN for 9 next generation frigates and destroyers. So, if the P18 destroyer first phase is of 4 shipsets then p17b or p17a repeat will be of 5 units. Or if P18 destroyer first phase is of 6 units then p17b or p17a repeat will be of 3 units.

    GRSE had to deal with the collapse of the Goliath (Gantry) crane, so that might be the reason.

    Any changes will cause delays, that's my premise of repeat order. See the delay between P-15A to P-15B and from P17 to P17A. There should always be a trade-off between the number of platforms required, the delay due to addition of additional capabilities in subsequent batches and the...

    The main delay for P15B destroyer is the delay in the deliveries of main shaft from Russia and GT from Ukraine. We need to know from where main driving shafts of P17A were procured, whether that source can provide for shaft of P15B class of warship. ( P17A are 6670 tonnes vs P15B are 7500...

    Your calculation is probably not accurate. The $450 per hull is the cost Russian took is probably similar to the last contract ($1.6 billion for 3) after deducting the price for GT ( 4 each). It doesn't reflect the market price. Russians probably agreed to the special ( no inflation on last...

    Nigeria has good defence relations with China. They even have good defence relations with Pakistan. Pakistanis had helped them in training and maintenance of F7 fighters acquired from China. They are probably buying JF-17 as well.

    But they took $175 million for two OPV from Nigeria. And what did Sri Lanka pay for two OPV from India? Edit: Internet search shows that each P18N opv costs $42 million USD.

    Yes. The point is by limiting the number of rounds of Brahmos or Barak 8 sam, in 7 ships we can save equivalent to the cost of one Talwar frigate or 4 NOPV.
