Er. Do you know the difference between Corvettes and Battleships?
Well I thought they wont win. But Turkey has surprised me.
Lol why do we need to buy destroyers from Turkey? They dont even have destroyers to begin with. Nor their Frigates comparable to ours. But they have made considerable improvement in Supply ships.
The number of commercial ships being built in Indian shipyards are way higher than naval platforms. Infact, India has actively started building naval platforms only since the past 2 decades and is rapidly modernizing Tier-II/III ports to share workloadCongratulations to Turkey. Indian shipyards are inefficient. If all major indian shipyards are busy catering for the military, theres not much room to build a civilian shipbuilding sector?

I mean warship... thanks for correction. Btw I dont wanna look like arrogant but we could have win more if we gave offers in indian military tenders... we just choose not to give offers And normally ignore it... thats all.
Yes... why so surprised?
Private shipyards like Pipavav, GRSE have shown their capabilities in the recent naval contracts offered to them and this made public shipyards to compete with them ever since NDA govt started fair reforms in offering defence contracts. PSUs like MDSL-Mumbai, GSL-Goa, HSL-Vizag, CSL-Cochin have all shown their manufacturing prowess in the quality of work and on-time delivery for most contracts they undertook in recent timesActually no. private shipbuilding has given way to Naval contracts as they are unable to keep up with the competition. Here with govt contracts they can delay and play as long as they can
I doubt if GoI would offer any contracts for offensive/defensive platforms except for unarmed support systems to the Turks given their close ties with PakUmm.. You're new to Indian defence procurement and to actually win a big program like this is a big deal. Even with the consideration of your relation with Pakistan. Even the Koreans have beaten the Russians in 155mm/52cal mobile gun program and mobile anti air program.
Indian MoD and Indian users are diversifying and not using historical ties as pretext to it's processes as much. It's rather surprising.
Turks have basically entered strong into Indian defence. If this is the starting bench mark, there will be further deals.
If India become a good neighbor to Pakistan, why not? Otherwise... not gonna happen. Offensive weapons export to India is banned by Turkey.
The contract is really cheapNot gonna happen, i am surprised that our defence contract is given to a country like turkey, israel is fine, russia, US and france is okay but trukey? Even when we have built our own nuclear subs, aircraft carriers and destroyers. Our officials seem to be messing up. They should immediately cancel the contract and award it to a credible vendor either Indian or American

What? You need turks to build ships for SUPA POWA?

It looks like Your officals dont agree with you, we were Ignoring India for so long... we just gave them an offer about that tanker, And they just jump for it... They are really hungry for Some Turkish tecnology it looks like... It is another funny thing that a country who producing destroyers needs help about tankers. Maybe that destroyers you produce arent that Much good...
I think this is more to do with NSG membership since there were reports that Indian diplomats are trying to get China & Turkey on boardNot gonna happen, i am surprised that our defence contract is given to a country like turkey, israel is fine, russia, US and france is okay but trukey?
