India completes field evaluations of Spanish, German bids for submarine deal​

The Indian Navy has completed field evaluation trials of the two submarines in contention for the ₹43,000-crore Project 75I programme, with a team visiting Spain last month to evaluate the vessel fielded by State-owned shipbuilder Navantia, people familiar with the matter said.

While Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) has tied up with India’s State-run Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) for the project to build six submarines with an air independent propulsion (AIP) system, Navantia has teamed with engineering major Larsen & Toubro.

Why does it need 30mm CIWS? I think it might be the 30mm NSG. Also, what kind of VSHORADS Launcher are we talking about?

30 mm ciws = ak-630 final line of defence for our ships (also used for pirate hunting by russian navy though )

probably naval varient of land based v-shorads

something similar to this MBDA naval shorads

There were talks of 30mm Naval Surface Gun that is why I am surprised because it's mentioned as 30mm CIWS.

@Adm_Kenobi your views?

Was always on the cards. If Kaveri was successful you'd have seen new iterations in TF along with adaptations to Marine GT & GT driven locomotives. Right now the program is in experimental stage only for the Marine GT version.

Another VLS farm. Now whether its more (why?) or VL SRSAM is a good question.

i would anticipate vl srsam due to the better range than older barak 1 and 8 brahmos is still very good for the older rajput class which are not even 5000 tonnes in disp

Aye and it fits the modus operandi of being test platforms for new weaponry.
