Highly unlikely ! I am not sure how this ship fits into the IN naval doctrine ? I don't think India has ever operated a heli carrier !

India re-releases LPD tender to private-sector shipyards - IHS Jane's 360Highly unlikely ! I am not sure how this ship fits into the IN naval doctrine ? I don't think India has ever operated a heli carrier !
Oh damn Indian Navy is rocking successfully in inducting new warships
Indian Navy ke achhe din a gaye hai.
I'll believe it when I see it.
India is usually never flexible nor pragmatic enough to take advantage of such opportunities, the Chinese on the other hand.....
why do i have a feeling that frenchies will gift it free to us and try to make money on its "refitting" a
India can build LPDs, buying one Mistral and building more at our shipyards is a good thing. If they can get a bargain price.
First we need 5 to 6 Shipyards which can handle , repair, build and maintain Huge warships.
Is there any official statement from MoD or its just a media hike ?
There is no official statement from MoD !
Source is russian.So,fifty fifty !Is there any official statement from MoD or its just a media hike ?
Agree only way we gonna have them if we will lease to Russia.This should be clear for once and all.
1.Indian Navy wants Amphibious ships and Mistral along with Juan Carlos, BAE are front runners.
But these 2 Mistrals will never see induction in Indian Navy
Because.
" They are not built with a conventional shaft and propeller propulsion system which is a must for Indian Navy requirements but they have Azimuthal Thrusters which are modern but not reliable enough. And refitting these ships with desired systems will be damm too costly."
2. If If India bought the ship it will be most likely leased out to a third nation.
no need to buy every defence hardware up for sale...we should follow our need as per priority and I am damn sure, Heli Carrier is not on the top priorities for Indian Navy!
