How Is India Countering The Growing Fleet Of French & Chinese Origin Submarines With The Pakistan Navy?
April 7, 2021
India is set to approve the indigenous construction of three nuclear-powered attack submarines to counter the Chinese PLA’s rapid expansion in the Indian Ocean.
This will be followed by the approval for another three such submarines at a later stage, The
Times of India reported.
The daily reported that the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) is finally considering approving the project “within few months” as the Navy pushes for the capability enhancement in the IOR.
The Indian Navy had last month expressed the urgent need for inducting six nuclear-powered submarines, which it said should take priority over a third heavy aircraft carrier.
