India Deploys Scorpene-Class INS Kalvari Sub

First Indian Scorpene-class submarine INS Kalvari

As tensions simmer between India and Pakistan, the former country has deployed indigenously-built Scorpene-class submarine, the INS Kalvari.

It is the first ever operational deployment of the INS Kalvari, as well as limited movement by ground troops to further secure the International Border in the Jammu sector, ET reported Saturday.

“The navy is deployed in high state of readiness and remains poised in all the three dimensions — on surface, under sea and in air; it is learnt that all operational platforms have been at sea and were ordered to be on full standby,” Rear Admiral Gujral said.

The annual Theatre-Level Operational Readiness Exercise (TROPEX) exercise has been suspended temporarily owing to the prevailing situation, and is expected to resume only after the tensions cool. The exercise was originally planned to be concluded in early March, so over 70 warships, besides combat aircraft and support vessels, are at sea, fully armed and prepared for operations, the report further stated.

The Indian Navy will receive its second Scorpene-class submarine, INS Khanderi, by March or April 2019, Commodore Rakesh Anand, Chairman and MD of Mumbai’s Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL) was quoted by Jane's as saying at Aero India 2019 airshow.

"The third submarine Karanj is also likely to be delivered by end of year 2019. Both Khanderi and Karanj are currently undergoing sea acceptance trials," he added.

The contract for the licensed production of six Scorpene-class submarines was signed on 6 October 2005 under Project 75. Recently, India also approved the acquisition of more than 100 heavyweight torpedoes to be equipped on six Scorpene-class submarines being built in Mumbai, located at the western coast of the country.

However, the submarine is yet to have any weapons, due to black listing of Leonardo. It is essentially a sitting duck.

Even without Heavy torpedoes, its a "Underwater" swimming shark which can launch light Torpedoes and Anti Ship missiles. Not to mention the fact that it can do reconnaissance in pakistani waters without being smarter about it.

Well, for that it has to get to Pakistani waters since it hasn’t been able to so far.

Even when they do, you have no way of knowing their location.

MBDA system is not serviceable, and light Torpedoes are also Leonardo, so no weapons. An Indian commander would be a fool to come on a war patrol without a full package. But then, such is expected from your side?

Simple question...why would india send this once 3 days ago if it literally has no weapons worth mentioning?

LOL.... Make up your mind on which propaganda you want to do.

Was it in International waters or did it invade pakistan ?

If it was in International water, how can you "intercept" it ?

Really? Do not understand that sneaking around is what you use subs for? If you want to "warn someone " you can use plain old surface warships.

I will send you advice to IN. Meanwhile IN will continue to do what it does best. With Subs and with Ships and with Aircrafts.

And that is getting caught again and again trying to sneak into Pakistani waters. They are doing a splendid job of that.
