I have a few queries would like answers...@Ajai sir<br /><br />I have a few queries would like answers to them<br /><br />1. first a typo, you said 'i.e. in Project 15B (four destroyers) and Project 1A (seven frigates).' it should read 17A.<br /><br />2a. You mentioned it carries 24 Klub missiles, where is the space?<br /><br />2b. You say Brahmos can be carried only on destroyers, if indeed this ship carries 24 Klub missiles will it not be good to replace 12 of them with 12 Brahmos?<br /><br />3. You say indigenous content on this ship is 60%, is it that difficult to indigenously manufacture the OTO Melara main gun in India since we are assembling these guns on Indian warships for close to 3 decades now?<br /><br />4. Last time when I asked how bigger the frigates will go? you said at the moment Project 17A ships are expected to be similar to these 3 ships, any updates on that?<br /><br />5. Last heard total number of Project 17 +17A ships will be 12, 5 under Project 17 and 7 under Project 17A. can you update on correct numbers.<br /><br />6. Will there be project 17 B?<br /><br />hope to get the answers<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Joydeep Ghoshjoydeep ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038225081192821456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-4929860974458959902011-08-21T04:37:01.348-07:002011-08-21T04:37:01.348-07:00Thanks Ajaiji.
