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.

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

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.

Thats the wrong question to ask. The right question is “why does India NOT need such a sophisticated boat?”
To: PeteePie
This means that the Russians were saved from killing more Indians than either General Custer OR Union Carbide...

Okay, help me out here; why does India need such a sophisticated boat? In case 0bama does attack Pakistan unilaterally and the Pakis decide it's their last chance to go nuclear on India?
