That is why I said that it should be installed at its midlife refit, when the boat will be out of commission for a good length of time. At her midlife refit, these boats will be cut open anyway. The first of the Kalvari Class was commissioned only in 2017, so there is a long time (more than a decad...

... The better option is to go for additional Scorpenes and retrofit all of them with DRDO AIP during their midlife refits. Time for IN to focus on Project 75 Alpha i.e. the six-build SSN program. IIRC DRDO API, there is no clarity how & when they would test it. Meaning, they have to open Sub l...

Singh called this decision a “very, very positive development”, but cautioned about “a question mark” over how quickly th...

.... Before the rafale came into the picture, the frenchies had offered to transfer the Mirage 2k line to India but later withdrew the offer and offered us the rafales instead.

Y I Patel wrote:Regarding the missile being called “Veda” - the correct name is probably “Vedha”, roughly translated as hitting with an arrow. Arjun performed Matsya Vedha to win Draupadi’s hand.

The name likely means it is an ABM or a satellite interceptor
