Kolkata is designed by Indian navys own design bureau and is an evolved version of Delhi class, which it designed as well. And another design, an evolved Kolkata is designed by them too and being built right now.

Arihants own SLBMs are Indian, and the platform is made for them. Russia helped in it's nuclear powerpack if I remember correctly, and the Indian side wasnt a minor in that department.

@Etilla
It was a phone conversation with the Commodore.
You can contact Chile Embassy if you want to.

BTW the Dhruv few less missions in J&K during the floods due to investigation by HAL into one of the only five Hull losses.

Also Hal is under advance negotiations with Mozambique for sale of 8 Dhruvs.

Remember in year 2014 your Pakistan Air Force despite being much smaller compared to IAF lost the same number of fighter jets in crashes.

Designing was anyways done by the Germans. Eurocopter was even paid license fees initially. The problem is that it is ruining our foreign relations in South/Latin America and creating a very negative impression about Indian products globally. Suppose we want to export Pinaka tomorrow the brand value will be negatively impacted as it is of Indian origin.

Kolkata class designed by St Petersburg Design Bureau
So is Delhi and Rajput class

Arihant is purely Russian in design and manufacturing



Disaster Dhruv will never be exported

MoD ought to place a ban on exports as it is affecting our foreign relations across the globe.

we are not doing anything, we didn't not expose this news, 5 out of 7 had accidents. What do you want us to do applaud that at least 2 did not have any accidents?

India's helicopters like Dhruv are low quality products, cheap, and many malfunctioning issues than China made products.
