Where did you get the value of $3bn?There are NO discounts
If we are getting hulls and then completing the ship it's going to be costly as transporting hull also incur a cost. Besides, I still believe unless we licence produce in Indian shipyard like L&T or Pipavav there is no point of buying just 3 hulls and completing here.
Folks must remember any Pvt sector shipyard when it builds for the first time takes time to learn the skills and solve all teething issues. So here we will make out shipyard learn half baked things as hull is completely Russian and yet project completion will take time.
In the end it's our loss of time and money. Best would be a deal where there is a further 4-6 orders into the shipyard selected.
No way we should pay $ 3Bn when our IAC esrimated costs around $4.7Bn.
Is it possible to fit these with US made gas turbines.
Yes I edited the post now as I made one gross error.. it's for all ships not one ship..Where did you get the value of $3bn?
are these the talwar frigates by any chance ?Yes I edited the post now as I made one gross error.. it's for all ships not one ship..
Last year Reliance defence was talking about a 4 ship deal for Rs 30000 crs or 7500 crs approx a ship.
So around $1.1 Bn per ship is the correct estimate ..
Apologies to all for posting $3Bn bcz that's for all ships not one ship

According to official sources, India is likely to sign a multi-billion dollar deal for four improved Krivak or Talwar class stealth frigates with Russia — expected to cost upwards of USD 3 billion — during the PM’s visit.

Four 'Talwar class' frontline warships will be built at Reliance Group's recently ... for manufacturing Rs 30,000 crore worth of four frigates for the Indian Navy

So in addition to 3 Hulls from Russia, Reliance will be building 4 More? A Total of 13 Ships?Yes I edited the post now as I made one gross error.. it's for all ships not one ship..

that solves the confusion then. why dont india built more of them then since they have built them in india before. or even the bigger project 17 shivalik class frigate they are bigger and only $350 ish eachYes.
Indian Navy has its own goal for 2020 and beyond. We are planning to have 200 war ships by 2026/28. Our shipyards are already jam packed. This was an offer recently as engines are from Ukraine India is the only choice for Russians to make use of these vessels. And obviously this deal ones with more tech transfer goodies than Taiwan we bought directly from Russia. Hopefully follow on should be ordered for same hull with more improved weapon systems and electronics.that solves the confusion then. why dont india built more of them then since they have built them in india before. or even the bigger project 17 shivalik class frigate they are bigger and only $350 ish each
yes im sure the kolkata is beter 3 bilion can be invested on more importent thingsI don't get the logic here. If you have indigenous capability in frigates, then why are you still buying Russian? You have the Shivalik class right? 3 billion is alot of money. My sincere suggestion to Indians, stop this bullshit, invest 100-200 million and upgrade a private yard, then build the Shivalik. All I can see here is Indians paying tribute to appease the Russians.
You have access to good Israeli electronics, why settle for lower grade Russian junk. China stopped buying any Russian naval electronics long ago. I like to mess up you guys to teach you humility, but it makes me sad seeing you guys getting fleeced by a former 'superpower'. The money could have been spent hiring Indians, giving income to thousands of workers.
Thanks for the tag. Missed this out
i already mention in private shipyard L&T or pipavav shipyard give them 3 -3 each
