Russia offer Amur 1650 with Kalibir SLCM.
The Russians can’t supply their own forces or their client states such as Armenia. How can they supply to us ?Russia offer Amur 1650 with Kalibir SLCM.

what could be the reason for this change of heart. They werent much intrested earlier.Thyssenkrupp could bid to supply six submarines to Indian Navy

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Germany’s Thyssenkrupp AG is likely to bid for a project to supply six submarines for the Indian Navy, German defence minister Boris Pistorius said on Tuesday, during a visit to New Delhi.
Earlier, Pistorius met his counterpart Rajnath Singh, at a time when the South Asian nation is looking to boost domestic defence manufacturing as it aims to counter China’s growing presence in the Indian Ocean.
“We talked about a concrete cooperation in military procurement. That could be six submarines from TKMS,” Pistorius said, referring to the firm’s marine arm. “That could be a lighthouse project.”
Thyssenkrupp’s marine arm is expected to sign the deal with the Indian company on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
In February, Reuters reported that Thyssenkrupp would bid for the $5.2-billion project in a bid to replace the navy’s ageing submarine fleet, as Western military manufacturers attempt to wean New Delhi from its dependence on Russian gear.
German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung first reported that an MoU between Thyssenkrupp and India’s Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders would be signed on Wednesday, with the value of the agreement expected to be about 7 billion euros.
In March, India approved a budget of 560 billion rupees ($6.8 billion) for its navy, which has 16 conventional submarines, 11 of them more than two decades old, along with two indigenous nuclear-powered submarines.
“India’s skilled workforce and competitive costs along with Germany’s high technologies and investment can further strengthen ties,” Singh said in a statement that did not refer to the submarines, however.
Mazagon Dock did not immediately respond to a request for comment while Thyssenkrupp declined to comment.
Shares of Mazagon Dock rose as much as 7.7% to a record high.

($1= 0.9358 euros)

german economic reality?what could be the reason for this change of heart. They werent much intrested earlier.
French, Russia, SK also considering building 6ssk in india for IN, there is no shortage of interest.what could be the reason for this change of heart. They werent much intrested earlier.
No thanks, becz German torpedoes is best in the world. IN want Ino-Russian weapons in its sub, Is German willing to integrate Russian weapons in their subs ?
In a major breakthrough Germany has agreed for integration of Indian weapons onboard 6 German submarines offered to India.
‘None with operational AIP.French, Russia, SK also considering building 6ssk in india for IN, there is no shortage of interest.
Not a issue thanks to DRDO AIP, also India developed LI-ion batteries.‘None with operational AIP.
Sabse 6-6 subs banwa lete hai na!French, Russia, SK also considering building 6ssk in india for IN, there is no shortage of interest.
I think India uses Black Shark Torpedo from Italy for its submarine & a submarine version of Varunastra is already on the anvil. So integrating Russian weapons may be optional.No thanks, becz German torpedoes is best in the world.

These was a big Data leak on the Scorpene submarine during 2015. Some foreign journalist had got his hands on classified brochure on the base version of Scorpene that was presented to Navies of possible client Nations.What is it that had pissed the Modi govt against the French. The German and American defence ministers almost at the same time in Delhi points to a bigger game , are we collaborating with Israel to manufacture Dolphin 2 in India .
What about the scorpene line and why again tie up MDL . L& T katupally is begging for conventional sub orders.
Naval Group has also short changed IN & MDL which resulted in cost & time over runs which both serving as well as retired personnel of MDL & IN have commented on in SM & MSM from time to time. Left to themselves they don't want to have anything to do with NG.These was a big Data leak on the Scorpene submarine during 2015.

They were never supposed to be on public domain. It had data on the magnetic bearing of the submarine. Frequency of Propeller shaft. Data on the active & passive sonars. Even the possible communication frequency. Every data that is used by hostile nations to detect our submarine.
The Indian Navy had said that changes would be carried out to mitigate the compromise. And also the Indian version had additional modifies. But the construction had already started & there is little we could do to change the data related to the over all structure.
Maybe the Data compromise was too big of a deal to continue with the Scorpene program.
No, IN using Russian and German old torpedoes, due to corruption IN unable to buy modern torpedoes, and using existing old torpedoes in scropene, that why Varunastra is a good news for IN, meanwhile PN using best torpedoes in the world. IN considering French F21 for scropene.I think India uses Black Shark Torpedo from Italy for its submarine & a submarine version of Varunastra is already on the anvil. So integrating Russian weapons may be optional.
