Shocking we inducted AIP over 20 years ago and are the only ones with it in the region
Be dazzled
THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
IN refused to induct Scorpens with MESMA thinking that can make an AIP in house. They havent to date and so their Shushuks are still without AIP. Fixing the unbroken is their mantra and it costs them every time.
