India to receive N-sub from Russia by month-end

[Thundersword]

NEW DELHI (PTI): India is expected to receive the much awaited nuclear powered attack submarine Nerpa from Russia by the month end on a 10-year lease, sources said Thursday.

Russia is set to hand over the nuclear attack submarine by the month end, sources said, adding that the vessel will be rechristened as 'INS Chakra'.

The Akula II type nuclear-powered attack submarine will be leased to India for a 10-year-period, the sources said.

According to earlier reports, the lease contract is estimated to be worth between USD 650 to 900 million. India had funded the completion of the Nerpa nuclear submarine at Amur Shipyard before the Soviet collapse.

While K-152 Nerpa was undergoing sea trials in the Sea of Japan on November 8, 2008, an accident caused the deaths of some twenty sailors and injury to twenty-one others. A fire suppression system discharged gas in the bow of the sub, suffocating civilian specialists and navy crew members.

The Nerpa was laid down at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur shipyard in 1993, but its completion was delayed for nearly a decade due to a lack of funds caused by the economic crisis of the early 1990s.
yaaaaaaaaay!!!!

Well, countries that can neither make nor buy nor even lease shouldn't really be talking. Sour grapes.

By the way are you aware how many countries in the world can actually build a nuclear attack submarine? You are talking as if it is a piece of cake and India should be ashamed that it cant make one yet, whereas the rest of the world can. Well, wake up to reality.

Whats the big fuzzz???

This is the Akula-2, the second most quietest nuke sub is the world, next only to the seawolf. India surely got it's hands on a real beast of a platform. When compared to Akula, Chinese subs are like "underwater trains" as said by an U.S submariner.

Right, so your earlier attempt at trolling about the topic backfired, so now you have to change the topic quickly and bring in the mumbai attacks to continue trolling. I have an equally good reply to give, but then your next statement would be about poverty or toilets. Sorry mate, I know better than to feed trolls.

Oh and by the way just think about the indignity that your country has been reduced to, if the best you can do is to sneak in a handful of terrorists and then rejoice that you weren't attacked. All the old dreams of militarily waging war against India or taking Kashmir have died a quiet death, and celebrating terrorists killing a few civilians is the high point of your life, the pride of your country's achievements. LOL!
