Re: Project 75I - It Begins
The funny thing is, if the Indian Navy decided to go 100% indigenous route for this procurement. Then the timeline for indigenous option would not be that much longer than the imported submarine.
All the skills required to produce a functional submarine are in India.

More than the claims form the Houthis. What is more important is the possession of Anti Ship Ballestic missiles by the them.
If the seeker and warhead section of that system can be ported on the existing Scud. Then the Houthis have a legitimate claim to hypersonic missiles.
