Even ...Should we be going in for another (new) SSN? Even if we do, we can always negotiate the extension of INS Chakra's lease. That way we can potentially go into 2030's with 2 SSNs. <br /><br />Equally, should IN and RM not explore the option of leasing conventional submarines from Russia? Surely, the lease will be much cheaper and we can have 4-5 conventional submarines? This should plug the gap before we get P75I series of subs.

What I do...SSN stands for ship submersible Nuclear.<br />What I don't understand is that it makes no sense for IN to replace one SSN with another, instead could they not have extended the lease of chakra?? its a fairly new hull and such vessels are expected to serve for decades...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-75970482180175752042016-10-24T00:21:26.935-07:002016-10-24T00:21:26.935-07:00It is true that IRBIS is 60% complete and will tak...It is true that IRBIS is 60% complete and will take 4-5 years to refurbish and after susequent harbour/sea trials and then only be handed over to us reaching us by 2020-2022 but then india always has the option of extending the lease of Chakra I as stipulated in the contract if it desires.In fact it should do so as it will have 2 subs to train crews and can be deployed at both eastern and western commands...moreover will always have one SSN on patrol at all times till our indigenous SSN arrive..With indefinite endurance both vessels will saturate an area of more than 10000 sq nautical miles.Also not to forget around 2022 pakistan's chinese subs start coming out and the chinese nuclear subs foray into indian ocean will increase ...Our own P75I is delayed and even if an contact is inked as early as 2018 which seems unlikely the 1st sub will arrive in 6 years i.e 2023 at the earliest if everything progresses smoothly..<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
