The biggest problem is that there are no destroyers in pipeline. The P18s are nowhere close and even then, it seems to be a cruiser. Also, IN only places piece-meal orders.

The pipeline of frigates and destroyers is getting dry. P17Bs and P18s are not ordered yet. There are only two each of P17As and upgraded Talwar being built at GSL to look forward to. After that, it is only NGMV to look forward to.
Given our construction times, this doesn’t look good.

I wonder how many of them were killed when we struck the terrorist sites on day 1. Given the visuals of Pak army brass during the funerals of the terrorists, I think there would definitely have been a few Pak military personnel embedded who got their 72.
