Chapter 426 Three thousand five hundred tons of submarines

Submarine! This is a unique army, a ghost hidden underwater, relying on its concealment to launch a sudden blow to the enemy. ~,

Historically, the Germans used submarines on a large scale. Their submarine warfare had a lot of gains in the early stages, and many submarines had more than five records. However, in the later stage, as the Americans strengthened their anti-submarine forces, the German submarine warfare eventually failed.

Although this example shows that modern submarine forces are only one link in the entire naval combat system and are not the absolute protagonist, having submarines like deep holes in the ocean can still greatly deter opponents' water forces.

Now, the Indian Navy only has a few old submarines and has no real practical combat capabilities at all. This is another weakness of the Indian Navy!

In later generations, the modern submarines of the Indian Navy were mainly composed of German-made 209 class and Russian-made Kilo-class submarines. However, the Indians had poor maintenance capabilities, and these submarines began to have accidents within a few years.

Now, it was the early 1980s. The Kilo-class conventional submarine was the king of conventional underwater power in the Soviet Union. Of course, the Soviet Union would not export such the most advanced submarine.

When Indian visitors instantly understood Andre's meaning when they heard Andrei's mention of the submarine force. It seems that this trip to Moscow will not be in vain, and you can still buy some advanced weapons!

"General Andre, your proposal is correct, and our current underwater power is urgently needed to be updated," said General Kumaramangalam. "We need modern submarines."

"If you want to have excellent counterattack power underwater, you need a large ocean submarine." Andre said: "Our submarine force has the latest submarine to be in service, which is the latest model! If you need it, we can export this submarine to you."

"How big is it?" asked General Kumaramangalam.

"The underwater displacement is 3,500 tons, the maximum speed is 30 knots, the maximum diving depth is 30 meters, and the underwater self-sustaining capacity is one week." Andre said: "Do you feel satisfied with such a submarine?"

Every data is exciting to say! The submarine of more than 3,000 tons is definitely a super-large ocean submarine! You can even directly snorkeleton from India to the South China Sea! The maximum diving depth is 300 meters, which is the diving depth of many nuclear submarines!

Don’t you know that there are such submarines in the Soviet Union?

Among the equipment of countries around the world, submarines can be said to be the most mysterious one. When they were built, although they were on the boat platform, they blocked the ceiling, which could prevent reconnaissance satellites from being reconnaissance. Afterwards, they were all in the cave database. Therefore, the outside world rarely knows that only submarines sold in various parts of the world in later generations will be able to master the data, otherwise there would be no way to know.

For opponents in the Cold War, the United States only has one way to obtain data from Soviet submarines, and keep up with Soviet submarines! During the entire Cold War, silent confrontation underwater was the most thrilling.

Even the United States is not clear, and the Indians don’t know the Soviet submarine data. Now when it comes to this kind of submarine, the Indians are immediately excited. This thing is almost the same as a nuclear submarine! More than 3,000 tons!

Andrei laughed in his heart. What he said was the Soviet 641b "Catfish" class attack diesel-electric submarine, which was named "Tango" class, which is the T-class. This is the successor of the "Foxbu" class submarine that was discontinued in 1967. It entered the submarine force in 1973 and produced a total of 18 ships and has never been exported.

Although this large diesel-electric submarine is relatively valuable, with the arrival of the new Kilo-class, this submarine has been completely behind. The biggest gap is the noise reduction capability! The Kilo-class submarine was called an oceanic black hole in later generations, and the noise level is quite low. Now, with the multi-axis linked CNC machine tools introduced from the island country, the carefully designed and manufactured seven-blade large inclined propeller, making the noise of this submarine even lower! Therefore, the Soviet submarine force has decided to replace the Kilo-class in large quantities to allow other diesel-electric submarines to retire in the early stage. The last two class 641 submarines that have not been delivered have been no longer liked by the submarine force. They just want to find a next home and export it to India!

We already feel that we are behind, and for Indians, it is still the most advanced submarine! Looking at the world, find a conventional submarine with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons? Almost none! Germany's 209-level displacement is only more than 1,000 tons!

After Andre's simple sales, the Indians were quite satisfied and immediately stated that they could order such submarines from the Soviets for 200 million US dollars each, and ordered two in advance. At the same time, if they felt it was good, they hoped that they could build themselves in India.

Faced with the Indians' request, Andre generously agreed. Even if India produces it itself, it only uses handmade products. Even the steel plates of the submarine shell need to be imported from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will still make a lot of money.

He said goodbye to the Indians with a smile and invited them to visit their submarines to visit their submarines. Andrei solved the Indians' problems this time and felt very comfortable.

"General Andre, can we rent a nuclear submarine on your side?" Just as Andre was about to leave, General Kumaramangalam suddenly asked this question.

Renting a nuclear submarine? The Indians really dare to think about it? Andrei shook his head: "Sorry, nuclear submarines are our highest national defense secret. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

It is absolutely impossible to rent a loan at this time. Nuclear submarines are the cornerstone of national strategy.

Anyway, I can go back and hand in the job for Ustinov. Why has this guy become lazy recently? Is this kind of trivial matter left to myself to deal with? Don’t he know how to cheat Indians?

...

In the southern part of France, the port city of Lyon.

The rows of buildings, tall sycamore trees, and the slowly flowing Rhone River. The breeze blows, the air with the smell of sea water, all of this makes this place a beautiful scenic spot.

In fact, most cities in Western Europe have such beautiful scenery, but now, these scenes have nothing to do with some people.

Squatting next to the pool, his legs were already numb. The twenty-seven-year-old Iranian young man Yachiz was washing the plates piled up in the mountains with a dirty rag. This was the kitchen of a restaurant. At this time, it was around 7 o'clock in the evening and the crowded people were the most.

From here, you can hear the noise in the restaurant in front, and the locals are spending their own wonderful night at this time. (To be continued.)
