Many years ago Germany denied magnesium alloy to India, DRDO developed their own

When first plate of magnesium alloy rolled out of Midhani, Germany said it would give India any amount of magnesium alloy

DRDO wrote back saying it was prepared to export the alloy to Germany 😂

All hail Dr. Satheesh Reddy

What's going on here , official saying 18 diesel submarine ,looks like something is going on really hot , either they are planning 6 more scorpene with drdo aip , new p75i , and p 76 , just after 1 st ship of p 75 i , but how will they fund it , something is either wrong .



Is it possible for us to do so
The report has messed up the numbers here. We are already operating 15 SSK. 18 here means three more SSK along with 6 SSN.

It also means that there would be no further Kalvari class after P75 as of now. It would only be SSNs.
The report says Navy is planning to affix submarine force levels just like Air Force has affixed force levels for fighter jets at 42 squadrons. Navy plans to affix the force levels at: 6 SSN and 18 SSK.

Sindhughosh and Shisumar class are retiring by 2030. 6 Kalvari class, 6 Project-75I means total 12 SSK will remain post-2030. Which means there will be room for 6 more SSK, probably Project-76. Now that RFI for six 5MW propulsion motors makes sense. Navy is planning for six Project-76 submarines. If this is true, I would be disappointed. I was hoping for twelve Project-76 submarines for a total of 30 attack submarines in Indian Navy. 30 is also the number of attack submarines that the Russians and Japanese Navies are aiming for. Maybe Navy will go for raise force levels to 30 once this current target of 24 is achieved.

The 24 number of Conventional Submarine was planned in somewhere end of 90s by 2020 . Stil Nothing happened 🙂
