India all set to lease a second nuclear submarine from Russia

Simple NWPT is among the most important international treaties,if russia violates this it will create diplomatic furor and decrease russia's diplomatic standing and honour of word.Won't do it for few dollars.



Akula's patrol time is equal to that of 3 ssks.It can conduct and is conducting non stop patrols.
Also its wrong that it lacks long range weaponry.It has club-s land attack missiles,club anti ship missiles.

It lacks any nuclear tipped cruise missiles like ssn-21 due to treaty restrictions.Its a brute of a platform,that is extremely quiet that vastly outperforms any chinese nuke sub and we have option to buy it after 10 yr lease is completed.On top of it all it gives our sailors invaluable exp on operating nuclear subs,one to come handy as we start operating our home built series.

we can't buy a nuclear powered sub that's why we are leasing it, then how can we buy it after ten years ?

Yes we have to use it. When people don't understand after posting over 100 times and asking the same question more than 100 times you will get the deserved reply. So don't ask those questions anymore and after asking those question you don't know how fool you look like.
 
India may finalize deal to lease second nuclear submarine from Russia during PM's visit
PTI | Oct 20, 2013, 04.21 PM IST

NEW DELHI: Faced with a depleting fleet of submarines, India is expected to acquire on lease a nuclear submarine from Russia, a deal for which may be finalized during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit there starting on Sunday.

The move to acquire the second nuclear submarine from Russia comes two months after the Navy's frontline Russian-origin Kilo Class INS Sindhurakshak submarine sank at the Mumbai harbour after an explosion suspected to have occurred in its torpedo section.

A proposal in this regard was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security headed by the Prime Minister in its recent meeting. The deal is expected to cost India more than Rs 6,000 crore, highly-placed government sources told PTI.

The Indian Navy is already operating one Akula II Class nuclear submarine — Nerpa. The over 8,000-tonne warship was inducted in April last year at the Visakhapatnam-based Eastern Naval Command and renamed 'INS Chakra'.

Under the project, India is planning to finance the construction of an old Akula Class submarine 'Irbis' in Russia, which could not be completed during the 1990s due to the lack of funds after the break up of the erstwhile USSR.

The two countries have been holding negotiations in this regard for quite some time and they were concluded recently. The construction of the submarine is expected to take at least three to four years.

India's submarine fleet, which is getting old, suffered a huge blow after the sinking of the INS Sindhurakshak at the Mumbai harbour, killing all the 18 people on-board.
