    Not only India, but they plan to extend the production to include other SE Asian countries.

    This makes India's order even more lucrative for them as it enables them to achieve economy of scale for the sub's manufacture.

    Whichever one can guarantee their sales of subs in Asia and South America will have a substantial portion of build and maintenance work done in Indian shipyards, that one will be favoured.
    Simply put, its too expensive to simply buy stuff with no offsets these days.

  • @sachinmesta4238
    @sachinmesta4238 Рік тому +2

    Dear Palki, few mistakes you made and here is the correction
    Conventional diesel powered submarines do not carry nuclear or ballistic missiles, they carry Torpedos, anti shipping missiles & cruise missiles. These are conventionally powered Attack submarines that can attack enemy shipping. These are small and cheap, but CANNOT stay underwear for months as they lack the fuel to do so. But they are very silent movers, they can track a convoy without convoy knowing it.
    Nuclear submarines can carry the above as well as Nuclear ballistic missiles (most submarine launched nuclear missiles tend to be ballistic missiles as that is the advantage is that the submarine once fueled will be on station at least for a decade when its fuel runs out. so these have infinite range, but the engines make a lot of noise and easily detected. but the powerful engine allows the nuclear subs to be big and heavy & to carry world ending nuclear war load.

    India is already 2 decades late and a decision will take another 4 to 5 years and by the time the submarines are delivered 5 years later, the submarines are obsolete in tech but new in condition. By the time China would have over 60 'new tech' submarines as compared to India's 6 (new condition but obsolete submarines)

    AIP technology can only give endurance underwater for 48 hrs max that too at idle setting which roughly translates to the Submarine just hovering stationary underwater or moving very slow. If speed is increased its endurance will be down to 6 hours.
    The way forward is Lithium ion batteries technology that the Japanese Navy submarines use. These can remain submerged upto 2 weeks and at normal operating speeds of 10 knots

    India created 2 of it's own Submarines. I don't think We should buy everything. Even if you buy them buy half and make the other half in India. I believe it's more cheaper. I am not an expert in Submarines.

      @@le_ecrivaine u can read the articles on it (about the features) and it is my personal opinion....And I think very few countries ( only spain )use s80+ submarines that why over enemies don't have any information about them.
