STM second Agusta Submarine modernization

[HRK]

Babur III, with its current range, is a pseudo second strike capability considering the depth/size of India. Enhancements must be made to increase range significantly before actual deployment on Hangor-class and possibly Khalid-class.

there is a the possibility of increase of range in Babur-III with new submarine as Chinese use longer torpedo tubes than standard 6 m tubes of Agosta sub, but there is no confirmation that Chinese are offering their standard torpedo tubes of +6 m.

I suspect the designation change from Babur to Harbah for the surface-ship launched variant has something to do with usage of a conventional warhead (and no nuclear warhead).

The first deployment platform (Azmat Block-II) and (as per Bratva) range of 300 km adds to this theory.

yaap I also think the same as it is believed that PN would not put nuclear missiles with surface fleet, so Harba must be a non-nuclear ship launched missile
