    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    The logistics of weaponry & customizations for Aussie needs. Japanese preferred to sell theirs as a black box (they also somehow preferred to keep all their tech very secret)

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    How on earth did you deduce any of the US-French conflict from my posts? Absolute rubbish! I have never tried to undermine French tech - especially in defense, they're among the best! What 'proof' are you looking for? Just google and follow the sequence of events that happened before Aussies...

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    That's right! Selling a stealth submarine to cater to a country's defense needs is the same as selling a jiggly cake! French didn't propose 'tailor made' design, that was Australia's requirement. Japan was essentially confused as to how to deal with the request. Aussies knew very well that...

    As I mentioned in my earlier post, it's the 'defense sales' that's referred to........in which area they are novices!

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    You obviously don't know the full details! It wasn't a plain vanilla sale based on price. Australia wanted customizations; Japan had no sales experience, they didn't know how to deal with Aussies, if to make changes or not. Japanese had a very superior product that Aussies wanted. But Aussies...

    Solid state Li ion batteries are already here. R&D is complete. Several companies are in the process of producing large scale quantities. You'll see electric cars with solid state batteries in the next 2 years on-the-road!

    Soryu didn't lose. Japan was reluctant to sell (they've not sold arms to outside countries after WW2). They're trying to get into the international arms market, but are unable to make up their mind on selling very advanced technology.

    Thought I emphasized that one should know the tech definitively for answering the question!!! :-) Your post doesn't answer the questions I posed. Not going to spend time rebutting it. :-)

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    Here's a question for the Submarine tech experts (please answer if you know for sure, no speculation please): When AIP is used, it can remain underwater for couple of weeks.... What happens when the AIP fuel is exhausted? 1.) Can the chemical process be reversed (by applying electricity in...

    There's a separate project for 6 nuclear hunter subs (no ballistic missiles)

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    Shouldn't it have 1000+ kms range cruise missile....a la...Nirbhay??? If only 500kms range, then is it Brahmos-1???

    Dude! You're lacking so much in commonsense. You think and ask questions like a 3 year old - and don't sound even half as cute! It's exhausting to explain simple shit to you!

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    What relevance does your personal opinion on the utility of low-range SLBMs have on India's technical capabilities to build a Scorpene class submarine completely domestically?? Comparing Agni with Barak-8 is absolutely logical and correct in THIS CONTEXT. The fact that you don't understand this...

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    As usual you spin up BS with your unlimited ignorance. Arihant is not a hunter-killer submarine. The Subtics required for a hunter-killer submarine will be quite different from what a ballistic submarine requires (think of Agni 1 missile vs Barak 8)!! A lot of research is being done to...

    Project-75I class SSK Submarines

    What India is building is just the metal works! The complicated systems like the Subtics, engines etc will all be coming directly from France! It's non-trivial to 'just indigenize'!
