I believe we already placed orders for the RAN-40L for the Vikrant, or have we not? I guess they'll just order more of the type for all DDGs and FFGs later on. Even the Delhi-class can be retrofitted with modern radars as part of a SLEP upgrade. As can the P-15A.

@Chinese-Dragon @Genesis I don't think it's causing any butthurt to China...at this point it's just business. The butthurt is for those members from Bangladesh who are India-haters.

To be frank, Bangladesh should only be focusing on development, what does it matter if you get projects from...
Till now only Spikes ordered are the Spike-SR for special forces.
That's right. It's already been selected though.
Could go either way. I gave US the benefit of doubt.

The ship on right appears to the P-17A frigate design. The flush deck appears properly stealthy and the mast clearly denotes the MF-STAR AESA radar.

HAR, HAR, HAR. I'm sure these reporters will kill me one of these days with an eccentric display of their stupidity.
@PARIKRAMA
I've searched for Gessler's profile on PDF and it seems he is banned. I don't know if the bad is permanent or temporary.
About the UAE deal, I agree it would make sense if that aspect is tied in to the present MMRCA negotiations.
Indeed. If actually used in military training, you can use actual firing ranges/grounds, and make training apps that are tailored to that particular area (terrain formations etc.). These apps can then be sourced by building upon existing new-gen game engines like Unreal Engine 4 or Frostbite...

" I think there has been much jumping of the gun by the reporters here. There was never any plan or hope to receive nuclear propulsion technology from US. The only reason why the US is being brought onboard is because of the EMALS...
The Saudi/most of GCC are heading for the economic dark ages. It does not require charts & expert opinions to figure that much out. Everyone knows it - Iranians know it, the West knows it, Russians/Chinese know it, we in India know it, and the Saudis know it better than anyone else.
