If the Scorpene leaks are not that serious then India should go for six more Scorpenes with DRDO AIP [with higher displacement ~ 2500 t] as a continuity to current production line in Mazagon ... This will save lot of time ... Rest spend the money on SSK [ India can negociate with Russia for...

P75I will take time to productionize after clearing all types of hurdles ... We should not stop the production of the current Scorpeane production line ... We should order another 6 subs with API and other stealthy features ...

definitely there will be if they participate ...

Amur will win most likely ... we can go for parallel build in both Russia and India for quick delivery... trust deficit ... let wait for the report ...

The decision are fast with new government ... the govt is analyzing the damage... it is critical then the story ends...

wishful thinking !! Russians can come up with their Amur 1650 customized to Indian needs... So do the Germans with U2214 / U216 ... better to wait than go for French follow on orders... French has earned a bad name though these leaks ... no more Scorpene

@Gessler When we decided to go for MII for Scorpenes we should have also gone for 2 to 3 off the shelf purchase while we build our own production line to offset any un foreseen situation later... Rather we are too confident ... I would prefer an Indian AIP and hope DRDO comes up with it on...

There nothing called free lunch ... Bigger [with tech upgrade] Scorpene with AIP will be a good idea rather than building a new types of submarines Like Amur - 950 or U214 types... In fact when we built U209 some 20 years back at Mazagone we should have continued the production line with the...

Thanks for the clarifications... If I am not wrong DCNS did offered bigger Scorpene few years back as an tech upgrade to the existing one's... We should continue with 1 Scorpene every 9 months for future as it will make for the immediate shortfall ...

Order more Scorpene probably with larger sizes with VLS & AIP ... augment the Mazagon production plant for scropenes ... It makes sense and saves time and money...
