they have a big shipyard they can do it simultaneously..........both contracts(IN one and the export order) are independent and will be delivered within dates specified within the contracts.................

There we go. Looks like Indian tortoise is going steadily with consistency. May GOD bless us with more happiness.

What are these Offshore Patrol Vessels? Whats their class-name? Any info pleasseee???

I want us to export Saryu-class stealth OPVs to Vietnam in future -

 
. . . . .
Was the OPV from our navy design.
if it is then can pipapav sell the our navy designed ship to foriegn countries without our government permission
can any one shed some light onto it.:undecided:
 
.
But isn't Saryu being built by state-run Goa Shipyard Ltd.?

The order is split

4 at Goa , 5 at Pippav

Saryu class wont be exported Coz its tech is a bit too sensitive

Most likely it would be a more weaponized version of the 2200 Ton Sankalp class of ICG

what are the role opv do ???

It really depends on the senario

Current Sukanya class OPV operated by IN are meant for offshore surveilance and Patrol , and are fairly well equipped for Surface warfare
However some of them are modified to Launch Dhanush Land Attack Ballistic Missiles
If Indian Navy decides to set fire to Karachi Harbor once again
 
.
Probably the same as ICG patrol boats (costal security, SAR...), with the difference that these are better armed and might have more range.
and what are the role these ship play in war time ???
 
. .
OPVs are used to patrol areas out of coast-guard range(Exceptions are there). They have greater range with more advanced tech.
