The tonnage of this frigate class and future frigate class is very close to current destroyer class. Essentially they will take their role like say FREMM "frigate" does.... and NGD will bump up the IN destroyer tonnage into new "cruiser" capacity role there. The Kamorta corvette class also is...

India’s indigenous 25-tonne light tank 'Zorawar', developed by DRDO and Larsen & Toubro, has completed high-altitude and desert trials, and is now ready for Army user evaluation. With amphibious capabilities, a 30 HP/ton power-to-weight ratio, and modular upgrades like counter-drone tech, it’s...
