I always found this monstrosity fascinating, its so big it has its own mini swimming pool.
This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with their current situation with Pakistan ?
Also I find it fucking nuts that countries can basically rent weapons of mass destruction
Like is it a secret Hertz rental agency for WMD?
"Hertz, putting you in the driver's seat."
It says in the article it won't have any nuclear ballistic missile capability. It is an attack submarine, primarily for attacking other subs.
Wouldn't it be better to spend that $3bn on better military equipment/weapons/aircraft/vehicles?
The expense of the military contracts would add up pretty quickly, but it would be better than leasing something they'll probably never use.
They are still using soviet era MiGs. Pakistan used F-16s.
what happens if they don't pay will russia try to impound it?
They probably need the experience in operating a modern nuclear attack sub which is why they're willing to spend the money.
they'll make them keep it
I didn't have much time to read the article, thanks bro.
I figured as much though.
calling a nuclear submarine the "chakra III" is hilarious
it gets funnier since they call all their attack submarines chakra's, chakra 1, chakra 2 and this new one chakra 3
"Don't worry we'll only need this for a week"
Or spending it in ways so that people don't have to shit in the streets anymore
Yeah I leased a nuclear sub for a trip I took recently, it's a really fun alternative way to get around
It can only launch torpedoes when Mercury is in retrograde.
I always take my sub down to Nando's
to be fair indian culture is partly to blame for that, what with the rapes in the bathrooms.
dont forget toilet witches
oh lovely I feel better knowing a country where a significant portion of the population believes there's witches down in the poo poo, has nuclear weapons and nuclear powered submarines.
Ooh, I know this one - is it the same country where 200,000 children a year die from diseases like diarrhea?
Nuclear submarine determines the powering of the submarine, not its equipment.
Yeah, now that I reread that, I feel stupid because I do know that. Excuse my pot brain.
