Indian Navy adds third Scorpene class submarine

The Indian Navy received the third Scorpene-class Karanj submarine (S-23). The acceptance certificate was signed on February 15, 2021 at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd, located in Mumbai.

The submarine was launched on January 31, 2018, after which it was completed afloat. The launch of sea trials took place at the end of 2019, according to plans, it was supposed to become part of the Indian Navy in 2020, but the transfer was shifted to the right due to the coronavirus pandemic.

INS Karanj (S-23) is the third Scorpene submarine after the lead INS Kalvari (S-21) and the second INS Khanderi (S-22). Three more submarines are at various stages of completion. The fourth Vela submarine (S-24) was launched on May 6, 2019, the fifth Vagir was also launched on November 23, 2020, and the sixth Vagsheer is in the equipment installation phase.

A contract worth $ 3 billion for the licensed construction of six non-nuclear submarines of the Scorpene class was signed by India with the French shipbuilding association DCN (now DCNS) in 2005. Under the terms of the agreement, six boats, which were to be built at the MDL factories with the assistance of DCNS, were planned for delivery to the Indian Navy in 2012-2018. However, the construction program was significantly delayed due to the technological problems of the Indian side, as well as disagreements with the French regarding the amount of assistance provided.

The Indian Navy is planning to order another series of non-nuclear submarines, but they have not decided on the winner of the tender, in which, in addition to the two Indian companies Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders and Larsen & Toubro, five foreign companies participate: CDB MT Rubin (Russia), Naval Group (France), ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (Germany), Navantia (Spain) and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (South Korea).

Something I do not believe that the Indians create combat-ready submarines ... Well, it just doesn't work.
Would any of you risk going to the submarine with the Indians?

So the French built it.

[hirurg]

Exactly. But they want everything of their own ... Hence my thought ...

[hirurg]

From Sevra, India is being blocked by China. From the West, Pakistan.
India's main trade routes remain waterways.
They are still controlled by the States. But the day is not far off when China will take them. Then India will be blocked
And 3 submarines from France, the weather won't do.
Therefore, Hindus need to do their own, and for this they need a lot of things, and they do not have this.

[hirurg]

Well, a very serious series, and most importantly, fast.)
Compare with a neighbor.))) China.

Maybe it's not so harsh ... here they agreed on a North-South corridor (St. Petersburg - Mumbai, 20-25 days, instead of 45-60 through Suez), money was invested (India in the Iranian port of Chabahar, Iranians and Azerbaijanis in bridges, railway .... and here it blocks

They used to say that about the Chinese.

CDB MT "Rubin" (Russia),

Yes, it would be nice if “Ruby” won the tender, although the competitors are serious

[mvg]

for "Ruby" to win the tender

What project? Ruby will soon start losing the domestic market?

[Lipchanin]

Quote: mvg

What project?

In your opinion, he just goes to tender with an empty briefcase and the Indians don't know his capabilities?

Ruby will soon start losing the domestic market?

Oh how
Well dream

[mvg]

Well dream laughing

My dream: pr 636.6 with the USET-80 torpedo, which was put into service exactly 40 years ago. And there is nothing else in the Russian Navy. How to trade dried bagels near a bakery.

[Lipchanin]

Aha and therefore the Indians allowed them to the tender?
Well, you don't need to consider them more bad

[Crash]

Despite the dancing and music, the Indians are still building something ...

And where did you get the idea that they themselves build

A contract worth $ 3 billion for the licensed construction of six non-nuclear submarines of the Scorpene class was signed by India with the French shipbuilding association DCN (now DCNS) in 2005.

[Crash]

Well, first of all, I did not claim that it was they who were building

Quote: Crasher

the Indians are still building

Additionally,

The $ 3 billion contract for licensed building

So, most likely, they are. In the same style as the Su-30 MKI

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Crasher

So, most likely, they are.

Of course not.
The French are building.
Although, of course, not everything yourself, no one will entrust the most important work to the Indians
The USSR in the 70s built a Metzavod for them. Several friends of mine went there on business trips.
As they said, the Indians were there, give it, bring it

[Crash]

Well, the Indians are now trying to conclude all contracts with the transfer of technology. Apparently they can't just steal like the Chinese

Under the terms of the contract, six boats that were to be built at MDL factories with assistance from DCNS, were planned for the delivery of the Indian Navy in 2012-2018. However, the construction program was significantly delayed due to technological problems of the Indian side, as well as disagreements with the French. regarding the amount of assistance provided.

Nobody will sell such technology to them, that's why they announced a tender for the construction

[Anton Shtopany]

Immediately you can see not a maritime power, they are shifting the dates under the cover of a pandemic, but they would have concluded with our factories right now, they would have already accepted the 9th APL

SSGN- Nuclear submarine rocket launcher (!?)
SSGN is a nuclear submarine armed with cruise missiles (as the main weapon)
Somehow, however.

and the NNS is a jumping submarine

[Ugochaves]

Uh, and judging by your logic, the NNS is not an autonomous submarine?

These are purely Russian designations of the ship's class (like BOD or MPK or MRK).
The abbreviation nuclear submarine designates the use on a submarine (submarine) of a power plant with a nuclear reactor

I deciphered for you that the apl is an autonomous submarine, well, and then your head got jammed, you began to write to me about atomic, but I am writing to you that atomic are reduced like a plark and not an apl,
