India to spend $3 billion for 3 more Talwar-class frigates

[qwerrty]

really!!! p17 frigates are tiny size. you know p17 frigates are 6 tonnes not a 4 tonne size frigates.

Ok, +6000 tonnes are tiny...

realy? for a boat that size seems to be not arming very well compare to other boats with similar size. anyway that is full load, not standard displacement and shouldn't take that long

 

[OrionHunter]

p15 still no where ready laidown since early 2000's. that tiny size p17 took about a decade to complete

You are just 5 feet fook-all and you took 9 months to complete and smell the fresh air outside. But building a frigate a gazillion times bigger is a different ball game altogether (Pun unintended!! )

why you guys replying to troll? move on friends...

 

[UKBengali]

Can we cut the crap here??

Simply Put, NO ONE, i repeat, NO ONE knows the real Price of these Frigates nor the weapons complement of them as the final contract is still some months away, $1 billion a Piece is the SPECULATION of the author.

Fair enough but IF the price is 1 billion dollars per frigate, then we can agree that India is being ripped off as no frigate is worth 1 billion dollars per ship - certainly not Russia whose warship technology is not it's strongest area.

Can We Come BACK to TOPIC please??

Don't REPLY TO TROLLS.

 

[notsuperstitious]

china built 16 054A during 8years at cost 4 billion$, 3 frigates enter service every year from 2008 to now

Those numbers are not reliable. I know we have not other numbers, but that does not make these claims reliable.

 

[shuttler]

how many shipyards are there in india that are capable of building 4000~6000" ton ships?

Is it an indian shipyard?
