Win Indian tender for Russian submarines will help the best characteristics of its candidates - non-nuclear submarine project "Amur-1650", told RIA Novosti on Monday, a source close to the Russian system of military-technical cooperation.

The submarine "Amur-1650" with air-independent propulsion system (VNEU), along with submarines, "Scorpio" (France), Type-214 (Germany), S-80 (Spain) involved the Indian tender for the purchase of six submarines for the Navy national general worth 11.8 billion dollars. The contest was announced in September 2011.

"Russian submarine of Project 677E" Amur-1650 "has a good chance to win the tender because of their unique characteristics, including the time spent under water by promising VNEU - more than 25 days, as well as long-range detection of underwater targets "- the spokesman said.

In this regard, he recalled that the time spent underwater submarines of the Russian foreign counterparts is 15-20 days.

"Our submarine will also be able to compete with foreign counterparts on cost parameters," - said the source, noting, for example, that the price of "Scorpio" is approximately $ 500 million. At the same time, he did not name the exact price of the Russian submarine.

In mid-December 2011 press service of the "Rosoboronexport" reported that the St. Petersburg Central Design Bureau (CDB) "Ruby", which is the designer of the "Amur-1650", India has presented a draft of the ship, under the revised requirements.

Russian equivalent of "Amur-1650" - non-nuclear submarine Project 677 "Lada". In 2010, the lead ship of the project - a submarine "Saint Petersburg" - became part of the Navy of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, Chief Naval Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky, told RIA Novosti that the first Russian non-nuclear submarine with VNEU can be created in 2014 by Project 677. Now at the "Admiralty Shipyards" laid two submarines of this project, which will be installed VNEU. The development goes faster pace VNEU specialists of the central design bureau (CDB), "Ruby."

just a bunch of advertisement talk though the Type 214 has been known to have flaws and Russian submarine technology has not failed the Indian navy in fact i believe they helped in the Arihant nuclear reactor development instead of Amur we should go for the S1000 Class a submarine jointly designed by Italy and Russia intended for export.

During the cold war period the soviets lagged but they did catch up with the western systems..... Of course there is huge advantage in some western designs..... Considering the IN the Amur is still the best choice.

Indian plan to have 2 sub sqdn's one is russian and another is western and 3rd is Indian. India has 1 Sqdn's of Kilo class and 2nd will be Scorp from french and 3rd would be either german / french .

Go with Scorpion, why the hell We want different kind of subs???

 

[nomi007]

how many subs india need

Amur_950 is still on paper

By that logic we would not have come out from Kilo class.... But I tend to agree with u here, again a French war machine would be tempting in terms of TOT.

Six subs.....Amur is cheaper than other submarines, may be we will go with it.
