About this listen
India is building state-of-the-art stealth warships under Project 17A – the Nilgiri-class frigates – but continues to import Talwar-class frigates from Russia. Why?
In this episode of Strategic Vanguard, we decode India's naval procurement strategy, the real reasons behind buying Russian warships despite the Make in India push, and how the Indian Navy is bridging the capability gap in the Indo-Pacific.
We break down the key differences between the Nilgiri-class and Talwar-class frigates, discuss India-Russia defense ties, and reveal how India's naval doctrine mixes indigenous strength with realpolitik.
