Just order six more scorpeon and be done with this drama.

Drdo design is only on paper. Scorpene is not reordered coz navy wants a sub with vls The german deal is not happening it's just a proposal

Navy got infected by army and Air force in the submarine department, it's unlikely we will get any

Kilo is quite big for a SSK preferable for vls integration It is also quite maneuverable so no point in recreating the wheel by creating new design

Yes but thats not the only issue . Navy has given very strict timeline for 1st submarine delivery and has added penalty for delays, hence all bidders are opting out

Drdo aip can't be retrofitted in this sub as hull needs to be cut open

No not like that In ssk you can turn off the engine to go completely silent and reduce IR signature drastically but in ssn IR signature will always be high. But that doesn't mean all ssk will be quiter than ssn, seawolf class is one of the most silent sub even being ssn

Speed is almost twice, unlimited power, more depth, no need of fuel, ssk comsumes lot of fuel on full speed

First they should order ordinary submarine because this project's production won't start until next decade

Ordinary citizens uses more common sense in defence aquisition compared to our un general

Will the repeat order be enough though? Even with that our attack sub fleet will be 16 only

Oh sorry, due to that design I thought it was copy of Scalp missile

Yes, as all contender have backed out there's no point in this useless compitition

Just 180km range?

How will it be clear when no company is willing to participate

Means it is not tested

Is it retrofitted in kilo class and older German submarine

Project was approved in 2014

But they are not cancelling it they just keep extending the deadline for something that doesn't exist. They want submarine which has VLS and a hull can be cut open to retrofit drdo's AIP, the AIP itself doesn't exist
