Antonov An-32..Dropping bombs

So I can now easily understand the real use of these An-32 being upgraded in Ukraine, they will be used as bombers and the tender is being placed there for an alternative of these aircraft like:
CN295s
C-27Js
And other Ilussion Aircrafts..

This aircraft can be use as small bomber but IAF does not have plan to use it as dedicated bomber. Its upgrade is for increasing its life because in India deal closes in decade nor in years.

So is IN interested in getting the remaining 11 Austin Class LPDs from USN???

No are u insane?WE will buy 4 more large helicopter landing dock ships.Tender to spanish,italina,french and south korean firms i think.These will be similar in tonnage to jalashwa but more modern.We already have many smaller amphibious assault craft.

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Does IN has upgraded all of its 10 Kilo submarines??? in Russia

And what about the upgrade of U209 submarines in Germany???

Yes kilo upgrade is completed.About u209,no .They are excellent minelayers as they can carry upto 24 mines seperately from their torpedo tubes unlike other subs.
