Yes, it is 7K tons for goodness sakes! The Rajput is still classified as a destroyer at 4.5K tons. The P-17A is a DDG in all but name. We do not need a new destroyer class in the P-15B weight class that is only marginally bigger. Our next destroyer class should be in the 10K tons range or cruiser-s...

Sigh. Not such a great bit of news. I was hoping DRDO would work on a XRSAM with radars >> more powerful than the PESA systems on the S-400.
