By 2020 the Indian Navy surface combatant fleet will be
■3 carriers
■10 destroyers [ 3 Delhi + 3 Kolkata 15A + 4 Project 15B]
■24 frigates [9 Krivak + 3 Brahmaputra + 3 Shivalik + 7 Project 17A + 2 Project 17B]
■20 Corvettes [ includes 12 Project 28 and 28A ]
There could be as many as 34 submarines in total by 2020, while the Kilo's and 209's will be retired before 2025
■3 ATV SSBN
■3 ATV SSGN/SSN
■2 Akula II improved
■6 U214 / S-80 / Marlin / Amur 1850 (Procurement under discussion)
■6 Scorpene
■10 Kilo Improved
■4 U-209
In the FORCE November 2008 issue the Controller of Warship Production and Acquisition stated "a total of 7 destroyers, 13 frigates..." as the major warship construction that would have been accomplished by 2022. That would indicate (3 P15A + 4 P15B} destroyers and {3 Krivaks + 3 P17 + 7 P17A} frigates. Interviews of senior Indian navy officials in the December 2008 issue of FORCE talk of future warship construction projects, with the seven Project 15B DDGs and seven Project 17A FFGs clealy identified. The Improved Krivaks are of imported origin and do not form part of the domestic warship construction package. That still leaves a shortfall of six yet-to-be-built FFGs and this void is to be filled by an additional 3 Project 1135.6 FFGs to add to the six, plus ordering an additional three more Project 17 FFGs as a Batch 2 package.
Can anyone come up with difference between Pakistan and India Project 17 (do they have any)
