Aip is not big deal to be added but depends on our submarine that if it could retain its manuverability with it or not , even if we go for aip addition ,for vls addition ,power of submarine will be inadequate , maybe we may go for a highly customized kalvari , like addition of iep ,as tender was out to design , develop ,and test a 5 mw motor , if kalvari engine can be upgraded for higher power , then we can add vls compartment too , with some modifications in it's crew compartment and all , reducing wastage of space ,also hull may need to be widened a bit to not sacrifice design characteristic of kalvari as length is increased .

The 5 mw motor will be for suitable for 3 kt+ class of submarine ,but we don't have any of it as of now , but in brochure it was written for retrofitting ,but retrofitting what ?


Hull too need to be modified to increase diving depth and all , we can do it on our own ,but french are required to do it in such short time period .
I'll be interested if we look toward LIBs on our future diesel boats. I'm sure Japanese will be willing to help.

we should have bought the chakra 2 cause chinks dont have something like that and they get feared from her. otherwise why she gave her location ??

And now balance of power has tilted in china's side
According to some reports she is going for a retrofit and there may be extension of her lease untill chakra 3 arrives
