In Response To: Sorcha Faal: India Shocks World, Joins Russia Against Obama Regime (Lion)

http://www.defender.hr/azija-afrika-i-australija/oruzane-snage-2/indijska-mornarica-zeli-zurnu-nabavu-ruskih-podmornica.php Due to the delay of the Indian Ministry of Defense in calling for tenders for six conventional submarines, Russia could benefit, because the Indian Navy seeks urgent procurement of Russian Amur class submarines that would somewhat renew the existing fleet. The contest worth $ 12 billion relates to the acquisition of six conventional submarines with air-independent propulsion (AIP) within the Indian Project 75-I. High Rosoboronexport officials were in New Delhi two weeks ago to negotiate the sale or lease two Amur-class submarines, said a source in the defense ministry, which did not give details of the negotiations. The Indian Navy also plans to build six conventional Scorpene submarines under license from the French DCNS in Mumbai. Delivery of these submarines was delayed for more than four years. The first of the six submarines will be delivered to the Navy by 2016. --- IZAKOVIC http://www.deepspace4.com
