Some Qs:
Why is Mod signing with BHEL for gun mount?
Shouldn't the contract be from Navy --> Shipyard --> Gun Mount vendor.
from the links this seem to be for existing & new ships. which ones? how many per ship?
existing ships does not have good guns currently? will there be refit?

Iran is in lead currently.
most likely will have to settle for silver.
