Is India pushing Russia for Beyond Akula-Class Nuclear submarine technology ?


New Delhi again has approached Moscow for the lease of a second Akula class submarine (after the INS Chakra) and is following up with the discussion on the second lease which has been underway for a number of years now ,but disagreements on pricing and lease terms meant that inking of final agreement has still remained elusive until now .

High-level Russian delegation spearheaded by Russian shipbuilding industry meet at the sidelines of Defexpo 2016 with Indian counterparts and discussed leasing of Akula-Class Nuclear submarine but speculation is that Russia and India also discussed a joint collaborative venture for the construction of Indigenous SSNs based on more advanced Russian Yasen-Class submarines which will eventually replace Akulas in Russian Navy .

Yasen-Class submarines have been accepted by Russian Navy only in 2014 and according to U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence Yasen-Class submarines are estimated to be the quietest, or least detectable, of contemporaneous Russian and Chinese nuclear submarines .

The Yasen class submarine is equipped with eight vertical missile silos, four 650 mm torpedo tubes and four 533 mm torpedo tubes. The Yasen is also likely to be armed with the high-speed underwater ‘Shkval’ torpedo, which has a radius of seven to thirteen km and a speed of up to 200 knots.

There is no doubt that Russia will always be Top contender in India’s choice of partners for development of its Indigenous tactical attack submarines but with each submarine priced around 1.6 $ billion for Russia , Yasen Class Submarine will not be cheap but will definitely propel India’s depleting undersea force in par with undersea capabilities of Top Navies in the world,only if India and Russia can come around for some level of understanding of sharing some of the advanced technology of Yasen submarine for incorporating it with India’s indigenous attack submarines which are still on drawing board.

Agreed !! Only Russians can get us best weapons systems when we in needs. SSN of this class would rip apart any adventurism by PLAN . India need big bang weapons if we are truly want to rule over IOR and SCS

Russia and Russia alone will lease this sub and no one else. ther had given critical inputs into miniaturing of reactor for Arihant too
Russians helped us in many other aspects which will won't be out in public .
 
So @Zarvan When will that SU-35 deal be announced? Earlier than the confirmation of this one? :D
