On May 27, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh inspected the second boat "Kandli" of the "Kalvari" class submarine. The so-called "Kalvari" class is actually built with technology introduced from France. "Scorpene" class. Singer accompanied the boat on the voyage and after spending several hours on the seabed, he couldn't wait to show off a set of pictures that day.
The Indian Defense Minister tweeted again
Through the picture, you can see that the interior of the "Scorpene" class built in India is crowded, narrow, messy, and old. It is nothing like a cutting-edge submarine of the 21st century. , the manufacturing process and the Indian Navy The surface ships are just as crappy, and their electronic information level is only a little better than our 039 early models decades ago. However, there is also an advantage, that is, the Indian military propaganda may not have learned to use lights to render and enhance the high-tech atmosphere, so the photos taken are the closest to reality.
The submarine is really crowded
It’s really messy inside
The periscope is not aesthetically pleasing
The most eye-catching thing in this group of pictures is the pictures of various warships and aircraft posted near the periscope. Look carefully. Some of them are from our country, including 052, 052B and 052C destroyers, 053H3 frigates, Ka-27 helicopter , and even the silhouette of the 051 destroyer. On the other side, images of the Pakistan Navy's "Perry" class frigates and various fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft are also included.
Can you see the model number clearly?
On the other side is the Pakistani Navy's
Indian submarine posted these pictures. It is obviously to allow sailors to quickly identify targets in the periscope. This is normal practice. What is abnormal is that as a submarine that was commissioned in 2019, it was posted in 2022. The pictures are from 10 years ago, and there are also the 051 destroyers that have long been retired. The latest 052D, 055, 054A/AP, and F22P from China and Pakistan are basically not among them. Especially the 054A and 052D, which are already the main force of the Chinese navy, are actually used by them. "Ignore", it can be seen that the people who posted these pictures are just doing things perfunctorily to complete the task.
Even the 051 destroyer is there?
Secondly, these pictures were "stolen" from Chinese military magazines or online atlases, especially the set of warship silhouettes, which were obviously from a collection published by "Ship Knowledge" in a certain year. I don't know if the authors You can claim compensation from India and ask China to send them a lawyer's letter.

Interestingly, in 2019, October 2021 and March 2022, the Pakistan Navy discovered Indian submarines invading its territorial waters three times, including the "Scorpene" class. It is said that One of them was discovered by the Z-9 anti-submarine helicopter on the Pakistani frigate. It seems that India should hang a picture of the Z-9 in the submarine. However, there is no Z-9 in the cabin of the "Kandli". Is it possible? After becoming his defeated enemy, are you too embarrassed to show off your own victor?
India's "Kalvari" is the "Scorpene" class
Speaking of India's "Kalvari" class, everyone knows that it was built by introducing the technology of the French "Scorpene" class. There are currently 4 ships In service, 1 ship was tested and 1 was launched. The total cost of 6 submarines was 4.16 billion US dollars. The French "Scorpene" class is a silent submarine with AIP technology, but the first three "Kalvari" class built by India do not have this key technology, and the noise is 7 times louder than the French submarine. Like a tractor, it simply cannot reach "Scorpene" level performance indicators.
It is said that the noise is very loud, and there is no AIP.
However, the emergence of the "Kalwari" class allows the Indians to try a new style in addition to the "Kelu" class. They are very satisfied with it, so the Indian military and political high I like to go to this type of submarine to inspect it no matter what. I enjoy going to sea, but I don’t know how bad India’s manufacturing process is. If it sinks like the "Sindulakshak" and cannot float, That loss was much greater than the loss of the Chief of Defense Staff's helicopter.
Senior Indian officials like to show their existence
