Shivalik-class & Nilgiri-class (Project 17 A/B) Frigates : Discussions
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
Another important point that is being said a lot:
Idling of the yards due to no further orders vis-a-vis the next generation of frigates/destroyers, and therefore losing experienced workers/disrupted supply chain.
I used to think the same, but my opinion has changed.
What supply chain are we talking about here??? Every major thing in our frigates & destroyers is imported or more appropriately assembled i.e. screwdrivered.
Turbines, diesel engines & driveshafts are all imported from
or 
or some other european country(
by HAL)
Radars - assembled here but most critical parts are imported from
or 
/
Even in missiles the most critical parts are directly imported & then assembled here.
Barak 8 - seeker assembly comes directly from
Brahmos - Ramjet comes from
Even the fu_cking gun - Oto Melara - has its most critical parts imported from
BC bacha kya????
The actual supply chain is outside India.
So I ask again, what supply chain are people really worried about here??? MDL/GRSE only make the steel shell.
Its actually quiet brilliant
. Since these PSU shipyards only make the steel shell, Indian Navy doesnt have to worry about production line continuity. Thats the headache for foreign companies. I guess its a benefit of globalisation.
(This same thinking backfired in the case of GE404 as they closed the production line)
