Corvettes of Indian Navy : News and Discussions

Yes, I would have preferred 8 too, but look at the BrahMos missile; it's a heavy boy with a standoff range of 900 km, and the ship is just 1500 cr a pop; the Visby-class cost the same in 2009
The NGMVs hull seems to be groaning under the weight of the missile. Sadly Brahmos M/NG is yet to make it's debut after years of waiting.

There's no comparison between NGMV and the all composite, LO-optimized Visby. Both are built for different operating environments.
