It's been several years since I played with "Harpoon" and had a decent sense of world navies. My instinct is that the Indians have been moving right along, and that these frigates would be nice reef elements shortly after the beginning of any Indian-Paki conflict, if they weren't immediately sent as far west as possible (like, say, the Atlantic Ocean).
Anyone more up-to-date than me that would like to comment?
The India army can finish off Pakistan in a conventional war (in a nuclear as well). It's bigger and more modern. I heard they even put more advanced radars in Sukhoi planes bought from Russia.
BTW: Harpoon is a great game.
