You seem to be confused by a lot of misconceptions.Yes, a joint venture to sell something to India and other third parties (Italy buys German for its own navy). A rather puzzling combination given that Amur itself is the export variant of a sub (the Lada-class) that the Russians themselves are off and on about. Methinks perhaps the Russian navy, having previously rejected the Lada design, was ordered to buy it for international marketing purposes. The situation is further complicated by reports of Ladas (on which the Amurs are based) being offered to China as well.
Silly indeed.
Even the Improved Kilo is as good as what the west is offering.
