How will it compromise national security? Also, why do you think India will go for tender when it is not feasible to suddenly change the infrastructure of scorpene? India already has infrastructure and skilled labour in MDL for making scorpene submarines. It can't be suddenly asked to get on a...

P75I is nothing but indigenised scorpene with some design changes to make it an indian design. The whole idea of making scorpene in India is to obtain technology and then use it to further build Indian submarines over time.. P75I is not separate from indigenous submarines. It is just a stepping...

India did not have expertise back then. Also, there was UPA government which was anti national. Now, the new tender will simply be extension of the current scorpene submarine project.

P75I is already confirmed. MDL has been selected on nomination basis. Scorpene is being built in additional numbers

From where did you learn of 14-15 year timeline or tender for P75I? Have you not read the news that MDL has been chosen by nomination basis already?

Let me put it bluntly - entire defence and strategic section of RR is own3d by UK govt. UK govt can withdraw the license anytime and give it to another company any time. This means that UK can simply sttip RR of its IPR and give it to BAE. RR can be sued for deficiency of service but not things...

The defenxe research is funded by the government and ia not a risk taken by the company. So, the IPR and patents belong to the government. The same applies in countries like USA. The owners only have manufacturing rights, not the technology itself. Otherwise countries like Saudi Arabia or China...

Corus wasfor sale. Corus ia not a high technology company. Corus was under loss due to recession and hence was auctioned. Rolls Royce has sold its automobile division,marine division, power divisodietc but the defence division is still present. Defence division has lot of classified data...

What is TKM? RR defence can't be taken over as it ia not for sale. UK will not allow ita sale

I don't understand how can private companies get any orders when they don't have any expertise. The expertise of MDL also would have gone waste as the people would have forgotten without continuous workload

The sovereign debt is just $30 billion. The foreign exchange reserves is pretty high at 420 billion dollars and Russia has trade surplus. The remaining 490 billion dollar debt is from corporations and banks which is not exactly the headache of Russian government. Also, Russia has trade surplus...

Russia has enough money for themselves. Considering that they have as much oil as Saudi Arabia does and largest Natural Gas reserves, largest amount of other natural resource- be it minerals, metals, rare earth metals, water or Timber. Russia also has quite advanced technology and hence is...

Yes, I know that in 1992-1995 India built a few submarines. However, they were still imported from Germany and assembled in India. I understand the need to maintain the expertise and hence continue the orders of submarine. But, what I intend to say is that the submarines henceforth must be made...

8 billion dollars is indeed a bit excessive considering it is a small submarine of 1.5-2 ton. Also, even France which sells scorpene to others, does not use diesel submarnes itself. It operates nuclear submarines only. So, you have a point in stating that nuclear SSN should be used instead of...
