GJ, the length of time it took to upg one airframe is a clear indication nothing was ready to plug-n-play when it was sent. Ru developed and tested the gear on our airframe coz probably they dont have any lying around. hopefully the next few will be quicker because the stuff is finally plug n play ...

also, don't u guys think that adding more Il-38s wud be the better option, as it wud cease the pressure on spares and service. We need to have replacements for these, which have to be new & fresh platforms, so the best option wud be to acquire more IL-38s (& Tu-142, if needed) and make use o...

Philip, The lethality and range of these weapons gives the sub its true capability.Silencing is another very important factor,but a silent sub without enough kill capability is nothing but a 2000t+ periscope! can't agree more on that one!

U214 specs says a diving depth of 400 meters. whereas our own ATV has only 300 meters. may i know why?

Harry,

Philip,

agree, when it is was actually time for us to have started rolling out our subs, we are still pondering as to which sub to choose when the fact is that there actually ins't much to choose from.

we need to move forward and not backward.
