India to get Nerpa Akula-II N-submarine this year: Official - Hindustan Times



India would receive its first new generation Nerpa Akula-II class nuclear attack submarine, which is undergoing sea trials in Russia, by the end of this year, a top Russian official has said. "The Nerpa will be handed over to the Indian Navy on lease by the end of this year," Director of Federal Ser
vice for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS) Mikhail Dmitriyev was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.

"Currently the submarine is undergoing sea trials, where the Indian crew is checking the functioning of its all systems and mechanism and are honing their skill for operating the vessel," said the official dealing in foreign military cooperation.

Under a $ 650 million confidential deal, part of the aircraft carrier 'Admiral Gorshkov' package, Russia is to give India the Nerpa on a 10-year lease, to be inducted as INS Chakra.

The Soviet-designed Shchuka B (Pike), NATO codenamed Akula-II, is claimed to be Russia's 'quietest' submarine avoiding detection by enemy sonars.

The Nerpa was to join the Indian Navy as early as 2008. However, an accident in November 2008 delayed the induction of the submarine.

During the sailing trials in the Sea of Japan, 20 people sleeping in the sailors compartment were killed by the deadly mixture of Freon gas due to the unauthorised manipulation of automatic fire extinguishing system.

It led to delay in the formal induction of the submarine by the Russian Navy for subsequent lease to the Indian Navy.

A court of inquiry had established that a cheaper lethal mixture of Freon was filled in the system, which instantly killed the sailors and technical staff of the shipyard.

Had there been normal more expensive Freon gas in the system, the crew would have enough time to put on gas masks and safely leave the sleeping compartment, the probe had revealed.

This is really a great news,was waiting for it for a long time.Some times ago in the indian navy thread Angeldemon 007 had stated that indian navy had asked its design team to design the upcoming SSNs base on the Akula 2 as they are very impressed by it because it is the stealthiest in the world and can hold upto 28 long range cruise missiles.
CHEERS....

Its a nuclear Submarine - a nuclear powered offensive weapon. International restrictions apply.
No thats not it. In-fact we have been offered it but India does not want to purchase it. The sole purpose of this deal is that our navy gets training to operate nuke sub and by the time they get experienced we ourselves will have a fleet of nuke sub. Even after this, Russia is offering us the option that if IN changes its decision after 10 years then can purchase it. But then i think overall cost of the sub will be more.

Not completely true! Many restrictions are indeed in place to curb the possible transfer of such weapon; but they can be defeated.

A couple of examples...

1.Brazil to get nuclear sub technology from France - CNN


2.1958 US

The agreement also covered the export of one complete U.S. submarine nuclear propulsion plant and its enriched uranium fuel which was installed in the UK's first nuclear powered submarine, HMS Dreadnought.



Indian deal with Russia has a clause using which at the end of the lease of these submarines, we have an option to buy them!


SO RELAX!!!!:cool:

In 10 years , if we can get 4 -5 of our nuke subs in our fleet ready , even if the sub is not offered to us for purchase it shouldn't make a difference . If necessary we can even extend the lease agreement by a few more years , till all our subs are inducted.

There are many thing that we can't see, The Gorshakov deal is just an illusion, The 2.9 billion dollar is not only paid for Vikadi, Its but for many subsystem. Many secret deal lies under the curtain
