Russia to lease N-submarine to India in November

[King123]

I think jha is referring INS Arihant SSBN which will be inducted within 1-2 years.

 

[Archie]

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.

While its true , that the reason for lease was to give Indian Sailors experience and training in operating Nuclear Subs , and yeah Russia did screwed up as always and we will probably get Arihant within 6 months of Inducting Nerpa

But u forgot the 2nd Purpose of the lease ie
1. To Bolster the declining Indian Submarine Strength
2. To provide escort to Indian CBG
3. Enable DRDO and navy to Study the capability requirement for SSN and then developing an Indigenous SSN program based on Nerpa , as u know that Arihant class is based on AKula I design , while Nerpa is of Akula II design

The ability of Nerpa to carry 28 Cruise Missiles is of Great interest to the Indian Navy, even though Nerpa/Chakra will come with 24 Klub N Cruise Missiles instead of of its regular battery of 28 Long range cruise missiles , it will still be more capable than any Sub operated by Pakistan or even China
, and it is something which they want Indian SSN project to Incorporate

We should try to buy the Nerpa after its lease expires . With our rate of Sub production , 3-4 nuke subs by the end of the decade can be had if we retain the Nerpa.It should be enough for a Single Offensive Battle group aimed to dominate the Indian Ocean Region and another Carrier Battle Group in reserve.

While its true that our future nuke sub can be based on Akula II but the thing is DRDO and HSL have the adequate know how to build a SSN.

Russia to lease troubled nuclear sub to India in November


MOSCOW, October 4

A Russian nuclear submarine in which 20 people died during a 2008 sea trial will be leased to India in mid-November, a source in the Russian defense industry said on Tuesday.

The delivery will make India only the sixth to operate nuclear-powered submarines, after France, China, Russia, UK and USA.

The Nerpa was to have been leased in 2008 but the transfer was put on hold following a fatal accident three years ago when a freon gas fire suppressant system was accidentally set off.

The industry 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, who 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,"

Seventeen of the dead were civilians, killed when fire-suppressant freon gas was released during sea trials in the Sea of Japan in November 2008.

Another 21 people were injured, in Russia's worst naval accident since the sinking of the Kursk nuclear submarine in 2000.

The Nerpa was undergoing shakedown trials and had 208 people aboard, nearly three times its normal complement.

A former senior medical officer with the Pacific Fleet alleged in May the Nerpa's firefighting system contained a "lethal" mixture of freon and trichloroethylene - a commonly used industrial solvent which is highly toxic and corrosive - rather than pure freon.

Workers at the Amur Shipyard, where the submarine was built, said in an open letter in the same month that Lavrentyev and Grobov were "scapegoats" and that the disaster was the result of "corruption and disintegration of the military-industrial sector."

The $650 million lease contract for the Nerpa was signed in 2004.

After arihant class submarines(3 i guess) , its more probable india is designing an nuclear fast attact craft on the basis of akula class nuclear subs....
After it becomes operational it will add a CANINE teeth to our navy's arsenal

 

[Agent_47]

Its better to buy than because we are lacking in submarine department.
