What about the torpedos

heavy tarpedos will be available in 2017 or so.

Will it have AIP?

Last 2 will have our indigenous AIP from very start and other 4 will get AIP during upgradations in early next decade.

Will it have AIP?

No ....... according to latest news DRDO has developed an AIP based on fuel cell which will be integrated to the last 1 or 2 submarines .

Name is not as fierce as Arihant.

If they are deployed as it is said, there is nothing like this.

wow,thats quick,because it was expected that all of the six subs would be delivered by 2022......bt now they say 2018-19 ,sounds like MOD had set the deadline and are quite serious abt this,no wonder he had a dull face during his review at MDL,neverthless nothing is better than completing it 3 years ahead of the deadline, set previously.
