Definitely this is why india buying these also off shelf

 

[Super falcon]

No one setups production line for just 36 aircraft

India bought 276 sukhois 30 mki, most of which were then assembled at HAL nashik

But plan was for 126 and i dia might order for 36 more

India has not embarked on that plan , current thinking is tejas mk1a will be orderd instead.

Mistral class ships will serve india betterin terms of multi mission capabilities it provides to india navy

 

[Super falcon]

Even indian ex naval chief had shown navy interest in these ships these are like mini carriers to hunt down subs

Which is better?: Mistral or San Antonio class?

Mistral can do multi role jobs San Antonio is expensive and don't have multirole usage

 

[Super falcon]

 

[Super falcon]

Mistral can serve IN far better than San antonio

So, in all after 2030.....

That is correct coz no existing design matches the requirements mentioned in the RFI

 

[Fatalis]

I find Italian landing helicopter dock Trieste to be to the best available design which can fulfill our requirements though it is very large around 245m with 38000 displacement.

China already ahead with type 075 LHD Ships why India is taking too long to finalize either locally built or foreign platforms procurement

Because if India orders it today it takes 5 more years to get first ship inducted in India navy

Some how these LHD ships satisfy indian navy planners for need of third aircraft for time being

But that has been discussed in this thread pages back. You don't need to spam every Indian thread with Chinese or Pakistani counterparts. Situations of China and India are different, Pakistan is far apart.

MRSV programme is strictly for helicopter carriers and expand amphibious warfare capabilities (currently only imported INS Jalawashwa takes that role). It simply adds up a new sector for focus on.

Since Indian LPD's don't carry fighter planes, they don't substitute the replacement of a third AC which would need a full CBG also.
