Nothing in those pages pertain to Indian Scorpene's operational secrets as these have not been formalised yet. All this is a commercial detailed features much like the specs sheet you get from a car manufacturer only more comprehensive for a serious buyer. DCNS is silent because it knows how dumb the whole saga is especially the fact it went to Australia! If this leak was true and compromised Indian security then India ought to junk all the Kilo class subs as China uses them too and SU-30 should be junked as well because China uses them meaning Pakistan should have all the operational data!

We all know that subs are tools for effectively probing of enemy defences and gathering intelligence even during peace time. <br /><br />With critical frequencies/ and approx acoustic signature of its sensors and propellers compromised, it makes finding this sub that much easier. <br /><br />I am waiting for PLAN and PN to jointly tweet "good morning and welcome" each time this sub leaves its home port..
