Good riddance. The whole sub would have smelled of curry in not time.

China, Pakistan. With boats like these India could threaten the sea lanes that carry oil and other commodities to China. We
want an armed and capable India in the region. It's the same balance of power game that so often turns and bites us in the a**. But it's cheaper than trying to police the region ourselves.

Why does Russia?
Seriously, any country has a right to decide what it needs to defend itself. As long as it can pay for it.
I personally would suggest to India that they might want to buy good instead of cheap, but that's their decision.

Not exactly what the Salesky Departmentsky was hoping for.

I see. Wasn’t sure where India was or headed toward in relation to US. For now, we’re good then.

Maybe you’ve heard about their little differences with Pakistan?

If India didn't have the sub, they might have to unleash their
ultimate weapon.

India is building up their Navy. They've had several large joint naval exercises with the USN. A sophisticated sub fits.

India’s navy competes with China’s.
Hopefully there will be a LOT of that.

I suppose, given Pak’s nuclear threat, that makes sense but this class of sub seems like owning a Cadilac DeVille in Harlem.

Do you think the Russians will outsource the customer service for that boat to...well, India? (sarc)

But the Indians are going to paint it hot pink, cover it with gold foil and hang shiny spangles from the periscope thingy. Of course, it will smell like cow poop, but in India that is also a good thing.

India needs to protect its shipping lanes, and to be able to offer a credible threat to the shipping of any who would threaten it.
