Seems a reasonable price,though it is bound to fluctuate(to the higher end) by the time it is 2010+.Really depends on what the IN wants.Is it just going to standard 4,000 tonne frigates or the European concept of 'Frigates' which are really destroyers in all things.It will most probably feature the new Israeli Indian Barak-2 medium/long-range SAM & MF-STAR radar system & the European anti-sub equipment.
Hi Sukhoi,
I see a lot of rejoicing on Indian jingo fora about the recent ABM tests carried out. The celebrations are well deserved, IMO. The AMB test is an amazing feat and easily a strategic imbalancer. Pak and China smell their asses burning now that they no longer can brazenly threaten India's cities.
Good show!
