More like bewelled contours tbh. Isn't this a variation of a tear drop hull or are ze Germans engaging in semantics once again ?The sub being offered by TKMS to Indian Navy will be based on the Type 212CD of the Dutch and German Navies. It's larger with greater displacement than the Type 218SG subs of Singapore.

TKMS calls this diamond shaped hull design.
i think russia offered its amur class with brahmos vls too but i guess navy wants a top-notch aip rather than a land attack role from a submarine (which i think would be ngmv and other surface warships)The sub being offered by TKMS to Indian Navy will be based on the Type 212CD of the Dutch and German Navies.

Better ordered 6 more Kalveri Calss in addition to existing 9 and focus on Indeginious designs, Germans are not trustable and Spanish ones are too risky with many unproven and unpolished component's.let the russians build the amur for themselves first. chindi log kaat ne ke alawa kuch jaante hi nahi hai.
Back to January, DRDO signed w/ Naval Group to integrate indigenous AIP into 6 Kalvari subs?![]()

I think yes cause the aip is untested the boat is still very very new even the s80 is olderIs Amur class totally out of competition?.. it's a direct successor of our workhorse Kilos

From wat I understand, type 212 is for German and closest allies and 214 is the export version(turkey, south Korea etc), 216 is enlarged 3k ton boat which never sold and 218 is a customised version or 212/214 for Singapore. Cheers, hope type 212's newer version that is 212 c/d or the nowerigen is wat is offered to IndiaOk so submarines aren't my strongest suit... Can anybody enlighten me on Type 212, 214, 216 & 218?
