Off course a special case but given how many countries have carriers and how they use it, SSK with AIP is suitable most of likely scenarios (unless you are dealing with USA). USA operates all N submarines. Given its immense experience with nuclear subs, it would have worked out some tech to...

Yes The role of SSK was to be used for seas around shores while SSN submarines for very long endurance missions. Development of AIP has boosted endurance of SSK and thinned the gap of operational capabilities with SSN capabilities. Regardless of it, SSN being enormously durable dur to nuclear...

Advantage to cost ratio of an AIP equipped SSK will always be far better than an SSN.

Silence

It is about the poster. That idiot doesn't know difference between types of submarines and is suggesting that P75I should be substituted with Arihant class submarines.

Defence enthusiasts. Meanwhile IQ of ordinary citizens.

That's a different project called Project-Alpha to build SSNs. P-75 and P-75I: Build SSKs in India based on foreign design. P-76: Build Indian designed SSKs in Indian shipyards to gain final self-sufficiency from the experience earned.. P-75A: Build Indian indigenous SSNs.

They have it. Their ballistic missile program is just isn't in public domain unlike ours. They tested a PDV style missile against an exo-atmospheric target in 2010, 7 years before us. They have tested ASAT even before it.

Other countries aren't even willing to transfer technology. As far as Australia is concerned, their obsession with Indian Navy in Indian Ocean is akin to BBC on Indian Military on space. Convincing them or even providing them somewhat better tech than India's procured is going to boost their...

Might be demonstrated in next decade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Navy_SSN_programme

There is a huge gap between quality, offensive capabilities and displacement of Indian and Iranian submarines. Even India's smallest operational submarine is bigger than largest Iranian submarine. So, let's not compare. Second, India isn't trying to compete with Iran in number of strength but...

So, you get induction of next gen aircraft immediate? Usually takes 7-8 years. IAC-2. IAC-1 Come on, Navy has asked for details, not dismissed it. Details design includes finalization of avionics & engines. Doesn't mean you can't get full scale prototype (without main weapons & censors) in 2...

WTF?? Design had already been completed, it is in second phase of development. Tunnel testings of a full scale version will be done this year's end. 2019. IN has rejected Tejas Mk1A but they have sniped the project and asked for specs.

India should rethink its submarine building plan: Manohar Parrikar Referring to the existing 30-year submarine building plan that envisages construction of 24 submarines Defence Minister said India need a longer term plan till 2050. BY: PTI | NEW DELHI |Updated: November 22, 2016 3:04 PM...

You are saying there's no other technologically advanced country ahead of us in world except Italy who can help us? :facepalm: Watch their moves, they don't want us, kyun gale pado faltu main. Aur bhi toh hain. You simply mean that an unrecoverable damage has been done in no time.

So, let them. Just for preventing a small delay whose gap can be fulfilled, you wanna get Italian company again. Remember chopper scam? Such things mostly happens with this country. Really? They got emotional enough to block us from MTCR but you still want Indians to behave neutral? :biggrin2...

Well, for torpedoes, government has already said if other options (who knows if indigenous heavyweight torpedo :biggrin2: ). There's no meaning of keeping military relationship with such a hypocrite country like Italy and a company Finmeccanica. We better look for other options.

Indigenous SSN Class has at least Six Subs I guess. Anyway, Can we get 10000km range SLBMs by then?

We can have 50+ subs by 2035 but not more than 25 till 2025.
