2. The particular kilo,INS Sindhurakshak was commisioned in 1997 and upgraded in 2012. Its capable of firing klub missiles.

So basically its a 15 year old sub which is not too old but there may have been issues with batteries if they were not refurbished/replaced or adjusted for during the upgrade. But all that is hypothetical.

How pathetic, what if this was just a malfunction caused by a clerical or procedural error. In the guise of blaming others a potentially repeatable error may never be caught. But that is media, I would rather stick to the IN to identify the cause. They are professionals and may use their brains and not other fragile parts to reach a conclusions whatever it may be.

Apparently according to Reuters ticker the sub had just returned from Russia following an upgrade.

Since the sub sank in shallow waters, India likely doesn't require outside expertise. But if somehow a DSRV is required, then both the US and China can help.

No it wasn't submerged! Why would a sub at berth be submerged?! Furthermore, there's no way that harbor has the depth to allow a sub to safely submerge at its moorings.

Lack of safety,maintenance and security procedures- procedures not taken up seriously, It is Indian culture and work ethics to be blamed

What cr@p are you talking about? Are Indian navy ships catching fire every other week??

Could very well be a torpedo explosion. If so, I fear for the lives trapped on board.

 

[Enemy]

Is that how it exploded while submerged?

How many are trapped?

Hmmm... I wonder about the state of the sub's readiness and level of maintenance.

well,I am not an expert on these stuff.

However, due to as yet unknown
damage suffered as a result of the
explosion, the submarine has
submerged at her berth with only a
portion visible above the surface.
