Long awaited 1st Scorpene Class Sub ready, undergoing tests in the yard itself, should be delivered to IN in September-2015

The Scorpene Class Submarine would be equipped with six bow-located 21in torpedo tubes providing salvo launch capability. Positive discharge launching is by an air turbine pump. It would carry 18 torpedoes/missile or mines (MBDA SM-39 Exocet anti-ship missiles to arm the submarines. for India)
SUBTICS combat management system
The SUBTICS combat management system, with up to six multifunction common consoles and a centrally situated tactical table, is collocated with the platform-control facilities.
The combat management system is composed of a command and tactical data handling system, a weapon control system and an integrated suite of acoustic sensors with an interface to a set of air surface detection sensors and to the integrated navigation system. The system can also download data from external sources.
The integrated navigation system combines data from global positioning systems, the log, depth measurement and the ship's trim / list monitoring system. The Scorpene monitors the environment including seawater density and temperature and the submarine's own noise signature.
Sonar suite
The vessel's sonar suite includes a long-range passive cylindrical array, an intercept sonar, active sonar, distributed array, flank array, a high-resolution sonar for mine and obstacle avoidance and a towed array.
Crew Facilities
The ship can hold a total company of 31 men with a standard watch team of nine.
The vessel is equipped with all the necessary systems to provide vital supplies, water, provisions, regeneration of the atmosphere, to ensure the survival of all the crew for seven days.

In my opinion, 636.3 Improved Kilo is better. Beam 9.9 meters compared to Scorpene's beam of 6.2 meters.

Congrats to India. It's inducted before LCA.

And in your opinion only beam length matters?

Also it doesn't have DSI either.

Good Catch... :lol:

I hope P-75 production line is extended for another 3-4 Subs.

Both projects are Indian project RS that suffered long delays. The question is which one is worse?
