India to Build 6 Nuclear-Powered Submarines - Navy Chief

[rational]

Israelies got the experience and the knowlege (ranked around 7 in largest arms exporter) and India got the economic power. JV on big projects like those, might wider the already large gap between India and Pakistan, and allow Israel better options for it's future weapons.

Israeli already helping us in key technological areas do have a look at this thread

Long time coming, I mentioned this over chat to @kaykay in 2011/12.

Yeah but this was a plan even then. I remember- 2 Arihant class subs and then 4 larger (9000 T) subs as ballistic detterents. Nav chief is claiming 6 SSNs are coming? Not Ballistic deterrents?

India will commission the construction of six nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs), India's navy chief Adm. Robin Dhowan said.

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — The boost to India's navy will renew the country's submarine fleet currently composed of 13 aging diesel-powered submarines and one Nerpa SSN, called Chakra locally, on lease from Russia.
"The six SSNs will be constructed under the Make in India program," Dhowan said, as quoted by The Times of India on Thursday.

Technical parameters are being drawn up, and a shipyard for the construction is yet to be selected, according to the newspaper. Another three Scorpene-class submarines will be ordered from the French DCNS company.

India's own nuclear-powered ballistic missile INS Arihant submarine is due to be commissioned next year at the Navy Shipbuilding Centre in Visakhapatnam.

or buy 6 nuc subs from russia?

In fact I also told you about the indigenous SSK design with indigenous Fuel Cell AIP system.

Is that actually on? I know that DRDO had completed work on an AIP system. But I thought they wanted all in house work to focus on nuke subs so they were going for established designs like Scorpenes instead of designing onein house.

BARAK-8/LR-SAM is a nice example of Indo-Israeli JVs- India provided much of the devlopment funds and a bit of tech (propulsion) and Israel applied its world class know-how for a win-win for both sides. The result is a world class system.

This should be adopted for many more strategic JVs (radars, BMD, EW, cyber security etc etc).

Israel has all the benefits of Russia without any of the crippling drawbacks (corruption, stagnation, disarray, counter-productive foreign policy etc etc).

In the long term India can edge China out of the Israeli market as its buying power increases.

[SR-91]

There is news out there that India will lease out 1 YASEN CLASS as a third nuclear SUB.

There is a strong possibility that these SSN will Be based on Yasen class.

SSN will borrow many features of K-152 Nerpa but will not weigh more than 7000 tons

Means you admit that you can't tackle India without China.
