Indian Navy News & Discussions

Indian Navy now down to 16 Subs, only 6 are modern Scorpenes. 3 extra Scorpene deal scrapped and negotiating now with Germany instead. Essentially by end of 2026 PN will have 11 Modern subs (3 Agosta 90Bs and 8 Hangors). In terms of conventional submairnes, in the short to medium term, Pakistan navy will be more powerful then IN

(11 Modern subs v IN's 6 Modern subs and 10 old subs). Also remember not a single Indian sub has AIP, whilst every PN sub has. I think IN sub fleet is in even a worse position then IAF when it comes to Pakistan

Pakistan needs aip because it doesn't have and they will never have a ssbn.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Then why is India desperately developing it's own AIP and begging France for integration of AIP?

Sit down indeed. Better to be quiet then make your ignorance well know for us all to see....

8 Hangors

definitely not by 2026 , we will only get 2 hangors this year . by 2034 we should have all 8 of them operational

I was expecting all 4 Chinese made ones this year no?

yes 4 are built but it will take time for fitting out and sea trials for eg pns hangor was launched on 29 April 2024 and still hasn't been commissioned

PN needs AIP SSKs because it has no other option. Diesel submarines are slow, short endurance and tied to the coast. AIP is just a crutch to keep them underwater a bit longer. It does not turn them into something else. India is moving to SSNs which makes AIP irrelevant for that role. That’s a completely different level of warfare. India already crossed that stage and has CCS approval for nuclear attack submarines. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ne...-propelled-hunter-submarine-gets-ccs-go-ahead

u do know AIP are way stealthier , for our use case nothing is better than AIP subs , we have no use for endurance that nuclear subs offer ( And thats their only advantage over AIP ) . PN subs only need to protect our coast and bully IN vessels that come too close .

Yesterday I was reading about how advanced modern SSNs have become. For e.g. US N-subs use the most sophisticated nuclear reactors. The newest Virginia class SSNs for instance have reactors that use bomb-grade uranium (U-235 enriched to over 90 %). They are designed to operate for 33 years without refuelling.

yes , perfect for blue water navy like US

CHAKRA EXCLUSIVE: India’s fourth SSBN sails out for sea trials

The ATVP has already begun construction of the first two units of the S5 SSBNs, which at 13,500 tons are twice the size of the Arihant-class submarines. The first S5 will enter service in the early 2030s. A total of four S5 SSBNs will be acquired by the late 2030s.

CHAKRA EXCLUSIVE: India’s fourth SSBN sails out for sea trials

India’s fourth ballistic missile submarine, the S4*, has commenced sea trials. The 7000-ton submarine sailed out for sea trials sometime last week.

India’s sea-based capabilities will get a huge boost with the acquisition of an Akula-class nuclear-powered conventionally armed submarine from Russia in 2027-2028, and the commissioning of two more SSBNs (INS Aridhaman and INS AriSudan). The Narendra Modi government has approved the construction of two SSNs for the Strategic Forces Command in 2025 and work has begun on Project 77.
