So older French agosta 70 are capable of firing US harpoons and pn had planned to add same capability to newer agosta 90 not sure if that’s the case now

Pn has Considerable inventory of sub, surface and air launched version of harpoons that need a platform to launch

when sir????????????????

Pn already has an inventory for it, dsca notification is from 2006

The question is with retirement of agosta 70 what is utility as no platform left u less agosta 90 has the capability ??

Perhaps the reason agosta 70 is still there

Sir how does these subs hold against scorpene class of India???

Similar tech in both, but Scorpene being a bigger platform meant for export only. French navy used Agosta 90 extensively and titled them "Oceanic" meaning that they can hurl into deep sea. For now, the A-90 being AIP equipped has an edge while Indian Scorpenes lacks one as the indigenous one didnt perform as expected. However, despite being smaller, the A-90 after STM upgrades will be on par if not better than the Scorpenes.

So by 2025 can we hope PN will hold on its own in defensive mode???

And the a-70 ? Which role do they have ? Can they fire harpoons and exotec asm ?
