My knowledge of Naval Craft could be written on the back of a Postage Stamp and as such I do not have the ken to really appreciate the finer points.
However, as a layman I thought just as the Admiral Gorshkov of 1978 vintage can be considered to fill in the short term needs of the Indian Navy it might help if the India Navy got hold of say Six Oliver Hazard Perry type vessels especially to counteract the Pakistani Submarines as with the Indian Navyââ¬â¢s present assets it does not seem to be in a position to counteract the Pakistani submarines.
For the sake of a discussion I dare say that as we speak there is at least one ââ¬â if not more - of the three Agosta 90B Class Submarines i.e. Khalid and/or Saad and/or Hamza resting at the bottom off the West Coast of India, which IMO could be in the Okha ââ¬â Mumbai Range.
I am sure that this might seem to you as a flight of fancy, but, if not a fact it is definitely a ââ¬ÅStrong Possibilityââ¬Â.
Cheers
