He himself didn’t get tired of insulting the Indians every time? They have a steamboat, albeit with a delay ... And we have it? Is there a nail in your pocket?

[St Petrov]

They basically all of these

strings, rags, dance girls.

forced to transfer technology.
I believe that we, too, took something from Iveco, Mistral, and all foreign satellite components.

[Vladimir_2U]

Samples are not the same as technology, even if you grind a millimeter with a file.

and all sorts of foreign component satellites also took something

In its pure form, the purchase, as with Nicky II.

I wonder how electronics engineers "tied" all this "hodgepodge" into a single whole? Or do all types of weapons function independently?

[Demagogue]

Good ships by the way. 3300 tons with a helicopter, good Bugas Atlas. And all the happiness for $ 250 million.

[TermNachTer]

For a quarter of lard green, somehow it will not be enough. Moreover, the ship is already serial.

No shock rockets? Weak for 3300 tons

Sea King Mk. 42B

And why anti-submarine corvette shock weapons?

I would say too much. Imported equipment lifted up the price. There is only the necessary. No one is trying to cram the unbearable. We took the correct displacement and a minimum of necessary equipment. Invested only in everything you need. Of course, there is no stabilization system, like the French Faye, to take a helicopter up to 6 points, but it’s not so bad either.

[Avior]

too big for a corvette
and weakly armed for 3500 tons
The French in this displacement and at almost the same cost, the full-fledged frigates of Formidebl were able to do

[Vladimir_2U]

Well, they classified it as a corvette, not in terms of tonnage, but in terms of armament, everything is fair, "Stretch out your legs according to your clothes." ))

[Vladimir_2U]

Again, a bunch of classes and series are falling into a heap, but how to compare with other corvettes? Falcons? Classmates no longer write!
