the Indian Navy is now going public with another sore issue-- the Klub cruise missile.
Inducted to be the main strike weapon of India's submarine arm between 2001 and 2006, this anti-ship cruise missile has never hit a target.
Seven of India's 10-kilo class submarines and the three Talwar class stealth frigates have been fitted with this weapon.
"There are problems that we have overcome but we are having dialogues, says FOC-in-C, Eastern Naval Command, Vice-Admiral PS Suthan

India is reported to have acquired over 200 Klubs at a cost of several thousand crores. And the missiles have never reached anywhere close to the stated range of 300 km.
The failure of the Klub cruise missiles has raised fresh doubts about the reliability of Russia as an arms supplier.
The naval top brass now concedes that it may have to reconsider the entire upgrade programme for the Kilo class submarines We will look into other missiles, says Vice-Admiral Puthan.
