Indian Defense Ministry announced a tender for the construction of six non-nuclear submarines with VNEU

The Indian Ministry of Defense has finally announced a long-awaited tender for the construction of six non-nuclear submarines with an air-independent installation. RFQs were sent on July 20.

As part of the P-75 (I) tender for six non-submarines, two Indian companies Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) and Larsen & Tubro (L&T) received a request for proposals. Now the Indians can choose as partners any foreign company from the approved list, together with which they will present their version of the submarines.

As previously reported, the final list of foreign companies included German ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, Spanish Navantia, French Naval Group, South Korean Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and Russian Central Design Bureau Rubin.

As explained in the Indian Ministry of Defense, overseas enterprises "must clearly define the scope of technology transfer in specific areas, meet the requirements for local work, propose a strategy for economic interaction with Indian main partners and suppliers, and present a program for the training of local workforce."

Thus, India will be the main submarine builder, foreign companies will act as technology partners, providing Indian shipyards with technologies for the design, construction and subsequent maintenance of submarines.

Defense officials are expected to take at least two years before they make the final choice and sign a contract with a winner. The first submarine is expected to go to sea no earlier than 2030.

I think the German engineers have already mastered Hebrew ... Well, shouldn't they try Sanskrit? )))
And I will probably leave participation in the Rubin CDB tender without comment.

They have mastered what the Hindus need. Out of 212, 214 were made with construction in the countries of customers. Themselves supply mainly engines and fuel cells. It seems so with the Greeks, Turks. Yes, Koreans also bought boats of this type. The Germans will most likely win. And the "stirlings" turned out to be a dead-end branch - it's not worth it.

Excellent joke !!! And in the photo, the Indians in their repertoire, decorated the boat hehe

[Avior]

And the Swedes, I wonder why they are not on the list?

Swedes are simply not stupid to give away cheap technology. this hen that lays the golden eggs

[zadorin1974]

Swedes don't like dancing with tambourines.

[svp67]

Order, originally passed us

[bar]

the final list of foreign companies includes ... and the Russian Central Design Bureau "Rubin".

And what about Rubin? He is not able to do that for himself VNEU ...

[abrakadabre]

In partnership. CDB "Rubin" can participate in the work.

[Avior]

Recently they wrote that the Indians decided to put foreign VNEU on this series, and not those that are trying to do in India.
It looks like they want to get VNEU technology.

[Light]

Well, as usual, they are looking for a technology donor. The truth sometimes does not grow together, as in the case of Rafale, but there were the wildest kickbacks.

[knn54]

The Germans are "expensive", the Spaniards are "raw". Although the concept of VNEU is original. The French and Koreans remain.

Spanish Navantia
In 2004, the Navantia shipbuilding company pledged to build a series of new submarines of the S-2 project for 80 billion euros in order to replace 4 diesel-electric submarines of the Agosta type of the Spanish Navy. The delivery of the head submarine was planned in 2011. However, miscalculations in the design led to the weighting of the submarine and problems with the ascent. Due to financial and technical problems, the construction of boats was delayed for a long period, and their planned cost increased from contract 1,756 billion euros to the currently planned 4 billion euros.

Here, no matter how I bet on the Spaniards. VNEU is good, but they cannot design the boats themselves - the Americans essentially saved the S-80 project. Yes, and they have no experience, experience of operating this VNEU.

[URAL72]

1. Our design school is a cut above, since there were no problems with ascent and overweight. There were problems with financing and VNEU.
2. Did I really say something about Ruby? I strongly doubt his victory, moreover, not only because of VNEU, but also thanks to CAATSA.
3. If you feel a smell, take out the trash!

[alexey2073]

And how many submarines with VNEU does the Russian Navy have in its composition? (Rhetorical question). Has CDB Rubin brought its VNEU to a sane state? Something vague doubts torment me. Cartoons and models are certainly good ... but in real life there is nothing! And this is upsetting. Well, not all of us are stupid and thieves! And the tender will be won by the one who has strong nerves and withstands dances with tambourines

Tenders are won by those who offer a favorable execution price for securities, but in real life it is unrealistic to withstand that price, and therefore dances with tambourines and deadlines begin!

"The Indian Ministry of Defense has finally announced a long-awaited tender for the construction of six non-nuclear submarines with an air-independent installation."

And what is our joy in the fact that "the Indian Ministry of Defense has finally announced a long-awaited tender for the construction of six non-nuclear submarines with VNEU"?

Are we happy for the "partners"?
We ourselves do not know how to do it

[Adimius38]

Well, everything is so with us, we are happy for neighboring China, and we ourselves even import Chinese screws

[zwlad]

We don't know how yet.
But if we win the competition, there will be something for VNEU to design.

[Revival]

Will we win a tender for the supply of VNEU so that there is an opportunity to try to make it?
Brilliant proposal for India!))
This is a strong move, this is a turn ...

[Avior]

... - Can you play the violin?
- I don’t know, I haven’t tried it.

[Revival]

But if you pay, I'll play the violin for you, well, I'll try to learn for your money))

[zwlad]

What's the problem?
Conventional R&D.
If it works out, the Indians will have their own new technology.
Others will not sell them anything anyway.

[tralflot1832]

The intrigue is resolved, the Iranian Sahand and Makran will take part in the naval parade on July 25 in St. Petersburg. The Hindus are already there. The composition of the guests is symbolic: Pakistan, Iran, India. Against the background of the flight of someone from Afghanistan.

[Asad]

And what is the joy?

[tralflot1832]

Look at the composition of the guests, they are not just invited, go through half a ball. And respect to the Iranians, the Americans at first thought that the Iranians were going to Venezuela.

[Revival]

Apparently in the fact that something apart from the "precious stone" will receive an order, they are happy for the "partners" apparently

[Prisoner]

Whoa! New competition of song, dance and kickbacks. Cheerful people, EPRST,

[Adimius38]

Ruby in flight. The Germans have great chances

[senima56]

Unfortunately, our "Rubin" is out of luck!

[Oleg Olkha]

I think that India, "from the Germans", can really be interested only in the newest Type 212CD (common design TkMS) from the recently concluded German-Norwegian contract for six units. Length-73m. Ш-10m. Surface water 2500 t. (Underwater ~ 2800 t.) The design of the head has been completed, but ... for Israel, with the integration of Israeli systems (including those not subject to export), this is the Dakar type, and the hull is practically the same but Israeli ones with VPU. India knows about this and that it is expensive, but angry ... What option are the Germans ready to offer - 212CD, or the Singaporean version of Type 218SG, and for how many years of dancing in Delhi? Such amounts ...

[TermNachTer]

Eka the Indians ruined it - then they rolled it out))) but it will be like "raphals", they will give them technologies that "and not on")))
