With global situation a little tense, the induction of this submarine will be a landmark milestone in India's bid to build its underwater warfare capabilities.
All about INS Kalavari:
INS Kalavari is first of six Scorpene-class submarines built in India under Project-75
It is a diesel electric attack submarine named after tiger shark
The submarine is stealth which makes it difficult to detect under various conditions by the enemy
It weighs 1,550 tonnes and is equipped with six 533-millimeter torpedo tubes for launching anti-ship torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and sea mines as part of its ammunition
From multifarious warfare, anti-submarine warfare to Intelligence gathering, mine laying and area surveillance, the submarine can undertake various roles
Precision guided weapons and attack can be used against targets from underwater or on surface
About the submarine project:
The submarines under this project are being made by Mazagon Docks Limited with technology transfered from France's DCNS (Direction des Constructions Navales Services), a naval shipbuilder
France's DCNS was awarded 4.16 billion USD contract to build six next generation Scorpene-class submarines in cooperation with Mazagon Docks Limited in 2005 under the strategic Project-75
The six of them will be fitted with indigenous Air Independent Propulsion System (AIP) technology developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to extend their endurance.
