Do you ever get tired of being proven wrong?
A decade ago means 2007. We had the capability long before.
The design phase of P-15 aka Delhi class destroyers was completed in
1987. P 17 class frigate design was complete by the
end of 1990s. And before all that there is the Godavari class project (
design completed in 1975) which was based on an enlarged Leander class hull, but rest of it is indigenous. Then there is the Khukhri class corvette which was designed by NDB in the 70s.
Also, not to forget the LST(L), Magar class which was designed in the 1970s.
And the
only soviet designed warships locally built in India were the 'Veer class' missile boats. So much for your knowledge in shipbuilding.
It's Kamorta class, genius. It was criticized by armchair experts, for being too big for a dedicated ASW vessel but the navy surely knows better.
You never get tired of peddling this lie, do you ? GRSE was modernized in 2013 for the construction of the next generation P-17A class frigates. It's far more capable than any yard in Bangladesh & is capable of undertaking modular construction.

Now can any Bangladeshi yard undertake construction of a vessel like P-17 A ? Do you want me to post pics of your much vaunted shipyards which are comparable to tier 2 Indian shipyards like Tebma & Chowgule ?
Or the defense yards at Khulna or Narayanganj?
It's a shipyard with an order book of $4 billion, so I would ask you not to compare it to any of your yards.
Also GRSE has design capability- not destroyers or frigates but OPVs & IPVs- MCGS Barracuda is another example. Even Goa Shipyard has developed it's own designs for 110 m long OPVs & Survey vessels.
It must also be noted that you're peddling this BS even when it has been debunked numerous times before- that's the sign of a pathological liar.

I don't think anyone in the IN cares about what builders of over glorified coasters have to say. Vizakhapatanam class is moving towards good levels of indigenous content, and now even components like MF-STAR radars are being localized.
These will be replaced on next generation vessels by Indian developed radars & long range SAMs once they come up.
And let me tell you, one Indian company- L&T can more supply more subsystem for a warship than the entire Bangladeshi industry. So it's better you don't talk about that.
It would have been quite shameful if a 'maritime country' couldn't do that.
