What's new

INS Arihant Will be operational in 2015 , DRDO to work on Attack

What happened to Project 75 I ? We have realized all building blocks of technology. It is now high time that we stop importing expensive Subs spend more on R & D and realized exactly what we want like tejas.
RFP has been issued.

But there was a news that it will be scrapped and more scorepene will be build. Rather than going for costly western subs, Buy Russian subs. They sell us Nuclear sub at Rs 1 BN USD. Bloody French charges us more for even a diesel sub.

SSNs are importants not only because it has greater capabilities than diesel ones but also because for CBG. Diesel subs are slow and can't be used in a CBG fleet. We need mix of both SSNs and SSKs in our navy.

Now you know, what i said to you almost a year or two back.

but do we really need 12 SSNs? And How many SSNs are needed per CBG?

Haha yes I remember big brother. It is very much close to your report which you had said then.

India has big ambitions so I will not be surprised if we eventually go for 12 SSNs but for the time being I will stick to 6-7 SSNs but then I am nobody to decide also I will not underestimate its capacity as having 12 SSN means equal operational capability of almost 24 SSKs. For a CBG 1 SSN seems to be enough but I will not be surprised if they use even 2.

Absolutely right.

American CBGs generally have 2 SSNs.
