I believe 2 Boomers are in water and at least 1 SSN. One more boomer may be in trials. These are all against chipakis so no one outside cares or considers them a threat.
No we don't have to return it. We can buy it. Stop spreading nonsense like chinese have a jet engine. Sure it just last 100 hrs but technically they do.
Nobody will say anything about chakra, arihant arighat or any other nuke sub. They are not meant to be flaunted openly. All the rumours are simply unsubstantiated rubbish like pakis having more nukes than India. :pound: That one still cracks me up.
So how many nuke subs are operational 2 or 3? IN seems to have decided not to say anything about the nuke subs. Hopefully the K-4 testing has gone smoothly and in a few years we will see some old videos.
France is not building jack-shit for brazil . The Brazilians are working with argentina on the reactor. France will only help with the nuclear sub design and not propulsion.
