Doesnt china has stopped producing 54A, so most probably either these will be cistomised one or 54B version.

Until we fit VLS for Cruise Missiles in these ships sorry I am not happy. Even if they add 8 VLS for a cruise missile which has range of 1500 KM and it can hit targets like Benglaru and Chennai and Hyderabad and other major cities in India I would be happy

Its a good choice by PN. It does add quite a punch against the Shivaliks and Talwars that we have here. How much are you guys planning for?

No I want our Navy to play Global Role and for that too happen we need Cruise Missiles between 1500 to 2000 KM range not just 450 KM or 700 KM
