The fourth Scorpen submarine for the country's Navy launched in India




The new submarine, called Vela, was launched after being launched into the port of Mumbai for release from the pontoon. It is reported that in the near future the submarine will be released on mooring and sea trials.

Submarines Skorpen (Calvari) are built under a contract concluded with the French company Naval Group (formerly DCNS) concluded in 2005 year. The agreement worth 3,6 billion dollars provides for the construction of six submarines of this class at an Indian shipyard with the transfer of technology to India.

During the construction process, submarines schedule their transfer the fleet has been revised several times for various reasons and currently provides for the delivery of the last submarine in the series by 2022 instead of 2017, as previously planned. New submarines are intended to replace the obsolete submarines of the Sindukush (Kilo) and Shishumar (Type-209/1500) class in the Indian Navy.

in February of this year, the Ministry of Defense approved the purchase of new torpedoes 100 for these submarines. Atlas Elektronik offers with SeaHake torpedoes and French Naval Group c F21 Artemis are being considered.

The main purpose of the submarines of the class "Scorpion" is to fight against submarines and ships of the enemy. Submarines are built from special steel that can withstand high pressure. The entire series of these submarines is built without an air-independent power plant, but with the possibility of installing a VNEU in the process of modernization in the future.

      But do the Indians even know how to do anything themselves? I'm talking about the military field. Really worthy. To say it. Yes! We need this, and to develop it ourselves from scratch. Purely for common development. hi

        Bangalore - Silicon Valley of India. Bangalore gained a reputation as an IT services center back in the 1990s, and now thousands of young scientists flock to this city every year. The talent pool of talented young people educated in a very strict and competitive system is large: according to a study conducted by Ernst and Young in 2009, there are more scientists in India than in any other country in the world - up to 400 million specialists graduate from its 2 universities , including 600 thousand engineers. And if a school teacher receives an average of 100 thousand rupees, then a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology can expect a salary forty times more. However, this is still significantly less than what a programmer in Silicon Valley earns, and as a result, American companies began opening branches in three business parks on the outskirts of Bangalore - sparkling satellites of a colonial era city, choking on smog and standing in traffic jams due to an influx of engineers . In 1971, the city's population was 1,6 million, now it has grown to 8,4 million people.



        With the beginning of the Internet era, many businessmen realized that they did not need to create IT departments in their own companies, and in order to solve simple everyday tasks, it was not necessary to hire California programmers who were used to a high standard of living. By 2005, Bangalore had become the “capital of the outsourcing” of the information age, its turnover was at least $ 5 billion a year, and growth was stunning - up to 30% per year.



        In 2007, there were more than 1300 information and communication companies in the city, all the largest international companies, banks and developers had branches there and enjoyed the skill and hard work of 250 thousand local engineers. Along with American, British and European local firms have begun to gain a strong position in the industry. Today, these enterprises are located in numerous suburban business parks that arose after the start of rampant growth. The first, in 1998, was built by International Tech Park. He had his own power plant, five buildings, each with its own name - “Inventor”, “Prospector”, “Navigator”,

        The “Creator” and the “Pioneer”, and the shopping center: it looks as if a piece of America has been transplanted onto the subcontinent. Electronic City, south of Bangalore, has become home to more than 120 companies, including Hewlett Packard, Infosys and Siemens, as well as numerous educational institutions that train managers, programmers, and start-ups.
        According to many experts, Bangalore today competes with Silicon Valley itself for the title of world capital of high technology. But such aspirations give rise to problems. The local airport began serving international flights only in 1997, and at that time its capacity was 3,5 million passengers per year; 10 years later, he could hardly withstand the increased load - 7,5 million visitors. Instead, they began to build the Bangalore International Airport, but in 2005 the project had to be changed so that the new airport could cope with the reception of potential 12 million passengers. As a result, the work was completed with a delay of three years. Today it is the fourth largest airport in India.



        At first glance, it may seem that it has become an oversized IT field overnight. In fact, however, this South Indian city has a long tradition of developing science and technology. During the time of British colonial rule, the capital of Karnataka, Bangalore, became famous as a "paradise for senior citizens" - elderly colonial officials who did not want to return to their homeland. Here an attempt was made to create a “piece of England” in India: there were even the equestrian club “Turf” and the elite Bangalore Club.



        After India gained independence in 1947, fate continued to favor Bangalore: the British inherited the English language and the legal system, which later became very useful to him. In addition, the government of Jawaharlal Nehru (1947–1964) proclaimed it “the city of the future,” the intellectual capital of the subcontinent; plans were developed for the creation of three universities, 14 technical universities and 47 polytechnic schools here. Over time, this gave impetus to the emergence of a number of research institutes specializing in various fields of knowledge - the exact and natural sciences, medicine, and food supply. And in 1972, two years after Neil Armstrong took the first step on the surface of the moon, the Indian Space Research Organization arose in Bangalore. The city hosted many of the most important state-owned companies - Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Electronics, Indian Telephone Industries, and others. Then came the turn of the private sector: Wipro, which began with the production of vegetable oil, but in 1980 re-trained in information technology; Infosys, founded in 1981 with a start-up capital of $ 300, and now with 133 employees in 33 countries; and transistor manufacturer Namtech.

      They have their own industry and development. They have their own tank. Own machine gun. They are so-so, but they are (and, in principle, in the fight against the main enemy, Pakistan, this is enough). There’s nothing to laugh at if you want (IMHO) .For example, recently there was an article about their own cruise missile with a normal range. And this is no longer funny. Well and most importantly, they have money and access to the entire arms market. That is, they can calmly breed an arms zoo from around the World (and their army is still a menagerie :) in terms of diversity) ... at the same time building up their own competencies and creating an engineering national arms school.

      Clear progress among the Indians. And if VNEU also "sipes" on their submarines - generally respect, they will enter a narrow circle of countries with such high technologies! But a dozen years ago submarines were leased in Russia. Because they have no Chubais and Rogozins!

        The technologies have been collected, but they don’t know what to do, the Semitic mind is not enough. That would bring something to life and have something to do with it.

            Hindus? In Kazakhstan, Lakshmi Mittl tried to change specialists at a steel plant, they didn’t get married. They have no idea what and how, because of their show-offs, they love gold, they don’t understand at all. I’m surprised how an Indian could buy so many enterprises.
