[jai jaganath]

That's fine, but what happened to the India developed AIP by DRDO? Is it being fitted on the Project 751 submarines?

That will be provided to kalvari class during refit

Keeping everything aside does Napak Navy not care about these guys usually or they are just as incompetent as ever ?

This boy just popped up to the surface very close to the shore. Pic taken from a North Kerala beach. Don't know what that fishing boat is doing there

Probably got caught in its fishing nets and it had to pop up to unentangle the nets and ropes.

Decommissioned. Look at those Torpedo tubes. Shes probably going to become a museum ship ala Kursura.

Two Indian Navy warships being built in Russia, to be commissioned by year-end

The stealth frigates are being built as part of the Tushil class warships, which are follow-ons of the six warships of the Talwar class and its follow on frigates. A team of the Indian Navy, including personnel from the Chief of Material Directorate, had recently visited the shipyard in Russia...

Hopefully we have a solution to the supply of Ukranians engine for these and the other ships.

Also hoping for Talwars to be upgraded with MFSTAR-RA and MRSAM.

They are a decent option to make up the numbers in the interim. In the long term we need a large Corvette or small Frigate we can build in large numbers (>20). Maybe the NGMV or NGC can be that class.

Steel cutting for the first ship under Fleet Support Ship.

The partnership with the Turkish Anadolu shipyard was dropped for a 'completely indigenous design'.

It appears HSL got the technical consultancy it was looking for , paid the Turkish shipyard on condition of radio silence & now has embarked on the project all on its own .

Design isn't Turkish, it's by SEDS Cochin.

The article by Defence Archives is claiming design was undertaken by HSL in house. Besides I never claimed it was by the Turkish group. But there was some technical consultancy they were part of in mfg .

Naval News comments:

A public sector Shipyard, HSL was nominated for the FSS project by the MoD. The yard had finalized Turkey’s Anadolu Shipyard of TAIS as the design collaborator after a failed attempt to partner with South Korea’s HHI. A contract for design collaboration and supply of key machinery equipment was signed between HSL & Anadolu Shipyard in March 2020.

The Indian MoD signed a contract with Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) for acquisition of five Fleet Support Ships (FSS) for the Indian Navy.

According to Hindustan Times, the agreement with the Turkish consortium will kick in after HSL gets an order from the Indian Navy. If all goes well, that could happen by October 2021. Unlike the other projects of this type, the Turkish side will transfer technology from the initial stages and all five vessels will be constructed in India. Besides designs, the Turkish consortium will provide engineering services , planning & preparation of specifications.

I believe the last time we rescued a few Paxtani sailors from being kidnapped & clicked photos apart from filming a video for PR, where Paxtanis were seen thanking the IN, Pindi was riled enough to get PN to forcibly board an Indian boat out fishing in the international waters off Gujarat adjoining Paxtan only for PN to repeat exactly what the IN did for PR.

Whether we should be rescuing Paxtanis is moot. I'm sure if we don't , the world would understand. Moreover it'd force those Somali pirates to focus exclusively on Paxtanis thereby sparing the rest & making ours & the world's job easier. Let the ummah then settle it among themselves.

Wtf ? When did this happen?
