So after all the fuss about buying Chinese and Russian sub you ended up buying old Kilo class from India with line of credit? Still a good deal anyway. Advance congratulation to Russia or India (or China in any case) for getting the submarine base contract. But question is how IN will do when they are reeling with lack of submarines and an over worked fleet reducing it by one operational sub is a huge reduction. Considering 1 boat off 14 active SSKs is 7% of the entire fleet. @tarpitz your "second hand navy" joke on us is backfiring.

Yes just like our subs. But still they will serve you quite few years.

It's a UDMC

So just a thought could the submarine that we are going to buy in the future be a Amur Class because it is cheaper than Kilo and newer.
