Russians smell blood on India’s Project (P)-75I

While India is yet to formally issue Request for proposal (RFP) for the Project (P)-75I, under which Indian navy plans to acquire 6 modern Conventional Stealth submarines. Russian Rubin Design Bureau
who is responsible for Amur class Submarine design have briefed Russian media that they have completed technical flexibility of Integrating BrahMos missiles system and Air Independent Propulsion if desired by Indian Navy.

Chief designer at Rubin Design Bureau Mr. Igor Molchanov believes that Integrating BrahMos missiles system and Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) are expected to be two key requirements which Indian navy might request in RFP for P-75I.

Molchanov added that Integrating Submarine variant of BrahMos missiles system, which was first test-fired from an underwater pontoon off Visakhapatnam nearly two years ago will be natural choice for Indian Navy as it could add much needed offensive surface attack options for anti-ship as well as for land-attack roles .

BrahMos in vertical launch configuration is capable of being launched from submarine from a depth of 40-50 metres. The missile can be installed in a modular launcher vertically in the pressure hull of the submarine.

Molchanov also said that Russian designed Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) have been tested successfully on land and they are currently planning to carry out sea trials of the units, which they plan to complete by the end of 2016. He also pointed out that Rubin Design Bureau and DRDO are ready to explore cooperations in case Indian navy requested integration of Indian-designed AIP module.

Rubin Design Bureau and DRDO are independently developing liquid oxygen and hydrogen based fuel cell Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) systems which negate need for storing hydrogen and are very similar technically and both organisations have exchanged visits to each other facilities and have also identified common solutions if need arises for collaboration.

Taking a potshot at rival German camp who are also in the race to offer their latest HDW Submarines with AIP technology, Molchanov said that ThyssenKrupp developed air-independent propulsion (AIP) require use of hydrogen and liquid oxygen which needs to be stored on board and considers Russian and Indian system to be much safer and superior .

Molchanov standing by his previous statement, which was also reported by idrw.org in our previous report he again said that regardless of who is awarded contract for Project (P)-75I by India, at least one or ideally two submarines should be allowed to be built at OEM facilities and rest in India which will allow Indian engineers and Docks workers in job experience while working at OEM premises which can certainly avoid delays and similar fate which lead to Project (P)-75/ Scorpene missing delivery schedules due to lack of building expertise at MDL .

well, India doesn't have/has never built a conventional submarine indigenously/independently, much less matching western/Russian standard. So obviously India having two big threats in its neighborhood needs the best military equipment it can get. So i think Indian military officials are simply being realistic instead of indulging in empty pride which wont led the country anywhere. So its wise for them to go with Western(hmmm....and Russian) equipment/weapons in their military, since these two are top notch. India will need decades to get anywhere close to Western/Russian military tech. So i think its a realistic decision by the Indian Navy, this will be a big headache for Pakistan and to a lesser extent China.

Was hoping India could go for British sub designs, since we have one of the best submarine tech in the world outside the U.S. Though its true we are more focus on nuclear subs. which is sad, since we could build/offer very decent diesel electric subs for many developing countries.
