Re: Indian Naval Discussion

the point is whether a vessel is ready to be upgraded to a more lethal role as it is something which is always welcomed instead of a vessel being downgraded to a role lesser than its capability ... what happens to this vessels during war? They stay in the harbor?

I think I was in the UK when Rajiv Gandhi rescued PM Margaret Thatcher's government by ordering this Westland junk. But seeing the shells lined up in Juhu surprises me.

^^ Nope. The French are using the Aérospatiale Gazelle mounted with 20mm guns and/or HOT Missiles with Viviane sights as they are cheaper to fly and are adequate for the job. http://www.aviationweek.com/Blogs.aspx?plckBlogId=Blog:27ec4a53-dcc8-42d0-bd3a-01329aef79a7&plckPostId=Blog%3A27ec4a53-d...
