Australias Next-Generation Submarines
Have a look at this...................Austrailias collins class replacement subs(designated SEA 1000) are estimated to cost $3 bill a piece.............I am a novice here interpretations upto the seniors.......
Its actually 30 billion...............it is quite possible that the navy is lookin for somthing futuristic.......somthing which is still on the drawing boards .............it will already be like 2016 till we are done with building the scorpenes,if we are gonna get these subs by 2018-19,they gotta be somthin more than the current subs.........................but which programmes are beein considered by the navy?......................I have come across only 1 such expensive programme................if they are lookin at existing subs.........no way they are co costly.I thought they were getting 12 collins class for $15 bil.
These are going to be submarine plus aircraft carriers to lunch fighters from underwater.....They will pop-up only when the air-crafts need to take off.........
I hope they get either S-80 or, U-214...S-80 is equally good submarine however No. of launchers is less in this. But that can be sorted out considering the kind of money involved.
Somehow i think this is announced to pacify the loosing candidates in MRCA ( looks like EF gonna loose now..)
Even our 40000 ton IAC-1 costs less than this submarine.
As Rosoboronexport (Russian), DCNS/Armaris (French), HDW (German) and Navantia (Spain) are participating than the submarines must be Amur-1650, Merlin, U-214 and S-80 variants. They better try variant of SMX-24 type submarine concepts from DCNS....

That might be the idea..Anyways this is supposed to enter service in around 2020. and the first P-75I should also enter service around that time only..But That also does not qualify for such amount.
We should stop playing catch game with other country and keep spending billions on the defence while millions suffer because of inflation, poor infrastructure and corruption at all level of governance.
