Russia to lease N-submarine to India in November

Moscow: A Russian nuclear submarine, , will be leased to India in November, a Russian defence industry source said Tuesday. The delivery will make India only the sixth to operate nuclear-powered submarines after France, China, Russia, Britain and the US.

The Nerpa was to have been leased in 2008 but the transfer was put on hold after a fatal mishap three years ago, when a freon gas fire suppressant system was accidentally set off. The $650 million lease contract was signed in 2004.

The source said all the defects "will have been eliminated before November, after which the Nerpa will be transferred to Delhi".

In late September, a jury dropped negligence charges against the Nerpa's captain Dmitry Lavrentyev and engineer Dmitry Grobov. They were charged with professional negligence resulting in death or injury for allegedly setting off the sub's fire safety system "without authorization and for no reason". The Nerpa had 208 people aboard.

The reason for leasing this sub was that this sub will give experience to our navy so that they can operate INS Arihant but now both of them are coming almost at the same time, hell if its upto Russians, Arihant will come earlier.
