Interesting how they view China as a bigger threat, cannot say they are entirely wrong in that assessment...but the rest of their surface fleet has issues too, submarines are a cheap and easy way for nations to project naval power, but even then there has to be a surface fleet component to support it.  It appears Indian desires for a larger surface presence with carriers and other capital ships has fully waned.

I wonder how long a person can stand the smell of curry cooking on a submerged sub .

I like curry.  However, I may not like the byproduct they be clogging the head with!

Here we go, 2 years over deadline and 20 dead Russians later, India gets their Akula II delivered.

I wonder if they painted eyes on on the bow?

If they painted eyes on the bow and sharks teeth around
the torpedo doors what would they paint around the launch doors?

[charlesoakwood]

A radiation warning.

India has launched a long-range [3,100 miles] intercontinental ballistic missile able to carry a nuclear warhead, say media.

Yup.  I like how they mention it brings China into range!    How do you like that, ChiCom's?!  

Sleep tight, Beijing.

More toys for Indian bubbleheads to play with, this time from America...

...hopefully they still view the Chi-Com naval threat more than us, and the Pak threat as well...but they are a BIRCSmate and as such I hope these don't come back on us.
