India to ink $4-b contract with Russia for four missile-carrying frigates

[pher]

We are not talking about Casino carriers. We are talking about combat ready ships.

ya, we spent several millions to buy a casino hull, which is newer and larger than the combat ready hull Russia used to refurbish a junk AC and then charge you over 2 billions, no wonder everybody know you are the biggest sucker in the world.

AC is just a platform to fly and land aircraft, how combat ready it could be? That is why here comes a AC striking group for combat, which you don't have. All you have is a west mouth certificate to approve yours is combat ready, what a bunch of jokers.

Russia has lost its ability to manufacture any warship above 5000 tons, that is why their surface fleet looked like a junk yard now. But they could still rip off indians in such a way, I must admit they are genius in arm transactions.

Lastly, Russian under sanction now could not buy gas turbine power engines from germany, and they don't have the ability to build them in house. So it is sure they will buy those from China. You indians will operate a frigate powered by China engines, what a ironic event!!!

guys wtf is this????how many silos??
is it edited or for real?

it looks more like a destroyer than a frigate

Rear end theories don't count.

Still not combat ready. Quite a carrier.

Anyway any war between india and china will be fought mainly on the 3 borders.

Barring aircraft carriers, gross tonnage and tech difference, chinese navy outnumbers indian navy by 3:1

Even if chinese navy operate without aircraft carriers, in any confrontation, india with what it has now cannot hope to pull off a miracle like midway.

Ok.

Why the 1 billion US dollar price per frigate?
Is India paying for the development costs as well?

Thats how they pay the Russian for all the nuclear, missile and space tech trasnfer. Maybe this time they are getting something for their failed subsonic cruise missiles.

Does Ukraine agree to provide the engine

I think these were those ships which were stuck due to the Ukrainian gas turbine supply issue. Not sure if they resolved it yet, or maybe they are buying empty hulls from Russia then refitting it with GE turbines?

good luck to indians though.

Russian shipbuilding currently not as great as soviet era

They havent had anything remarkable since their soviet aircraft carrier and kirov battlecruiser

Sometimes I pity the Russians, a great country fallen to such a sad state. Chinese MIC is at least a decade ahead of them, they are just clinging on to the last few crown jewels.

Chinese MIC will be around the level of USA by 2030.
Russian MIC by 2030, will have dropped to the 2nd tier below the leaders that will be USA\China\EU.
