The only other non completed sub is the Irbis, and it needs a lot of work.

What about Oscar class. There has being some mentioning of leasing Belgorod to India some time earlier. Now I dont thing Belgorod could be one but there are two other unfinished hulls.

The attempt to steal the secret documents was made in Novotel Hotel room (No. 534) of a high- ranked Russian officer T Alexander when he was away. Alexander, who is a vice admiral rank officer, was shocked to see his room lock broken when he returned around 2.30 pm. He immediately called the police.

A senior police official said the accused had tried in vain to break open the secret locker in the room. But unconfirmed reports said he walked away with some documents from the locker.

Sources said Alexander had come to Vizag on March 30 to train the sailors of INS Chakra. "He would be camping here for nearly a month. Several Russian officers are also staying in star hotels like Park, Taj Gateway and Novotel," sources said.

Well the Lada reports are real.

The program is obscenely late and has had issues in pretty much every new system.

The Su-34 issues was just Izvestya making a story out of nothing ( and of course making up some juicy problems as well ) .

I don't even understand how the Nerpa issues became public. Who the hell thought that is the kind of thing media needs to know?

This is unpredictable India.. at your service..

PAK-FA has been progressing steadily.

T-95 was a concept, not a production line of tanks. Not to mention, it has been passed on grounds of evolving requirements, not failure.

Lada has been in construction for YEARS past original dates, and has had major propulsion and sonar systems flat out not work.

That is a whole seperate level of bad compared to most programs. Let's not make excuses.

And, the problems being fixed is not a fact either. I don't see construction resuming on the boats...

why akula can stay only 100 days in water ..

and gary can u tell me which other subs russian or western are better or same as akula ...

why akula is a good choice ? and what happened to those typhoon class russian subs ?

We are actually talking about the Pike-B (Schuka-B), the Akula is called Typhoon in the west and is an SSBN, not an attack sub.

The Pike-B is comparable to any of the latest attack subs available anywhere... it would give any sub a run for its money.

why akula is a good choice ? and what happened to those typhoon class russian subs ?

It is an excellent attack sub that would be very good at recon missions as well as area denial missions... no surface ship would be safe and conventional subs would be greatly inferior too.

The Nerpa that India uses is a project 971 attack submarine. NATO calls it Akula, though its Russian name is Bars (a few other names for the last build variations though).
The NATO "Typhoon" is the project 941 ballistic missile sub. It's Russian name is Akula.
