Narsh, Uncle wont sell them to India. The obsolete class is an incentive for TSP to cooperate with massa. If India wants them the price goes up sky high.

The Jalashwa (Ex Trenton) was Purchased for under US Dollars 50 Million so possibly if the Indian Navy tries then may be - just may be - they might be able to get Six to Eight of such ships at a total cost equal to a Modern built to order one of a similar class.
I do hope that the Indian Navy's pride would not be hurt in acquiring 30 Year old vessels as even if they last for 10 Years they would have served the purpose of keeping the Pakistani Navy under constant surveillance especcially their Submarines.
Just a thought!
