Man are those wipers !! Thats pretty cool - never saw wipers on the sides

This is the norm among naval ships.

how about this on IN fleet tanker?

Thanks for the vid pal-never seen it before, nice catch!!

can somebody explain why we went for Krivak-III when we had the capability to build Shivalik which are better??? was it because our shipyards were too busy with present workload??? or was it the cost factor??

A combination of the two- the Talwar class are about $100 mill cheaper per ship ($700 mill+ per Shivlaik class $600 mill+ per each Talwar class) and the fact the intial 3 Talwar class frigates were met with great reaction from IN and the follow on order was made before the Shivlaik class properly came on line (Shivlaik class btw the IN were EVEN MORE happy with!). And it doesn't hurt to diversify and have simultaneous production for faster induction.

Faster induction, cheaper and proven option.

Our shipyards are busy and don't have moulder building capacity till that day when order was given to Russia.

Modular building of warships is now very much the norm in many Indian shipyards with IAC-1, P-17A,P-28A and P-15 all being built in such a way. But there is massive overloading currently of Indian shipyards with quite some back log in orders- sometime in 2010 it was reported that if the IN/ICG made an order for a ship in India it would be something like 14 months before production even started (a reason why ships like fleet tankers, Talwar frigates and a few FICs were built abroad), in the past capacity growing has struggled to keep pace with demand. But this "boom" has been great for the Indian ship building sector and many hard lessons have been learnt that has made the sector world-class.
