Indian submarine completes tests in Russia
MOSCOW: An Indian submarine that has been undergoing maintenance and upgrading work in Russia’s north, has completed a series of tests in the White Sea naval test grounds, the Interfax news agency reported.
The Sindhugosh diesel-electric Kilo-class submarine was brought to Russia’s Zvyozdochka shipyards for planned repairs in 2002 and is due to be turned over to the Indian navy in late October, Zvyozdochka’s officials said late Monday.
As part of the upgrading, the sub had been equipped with a new Club-S anti-ship missile unit, and had its hydro-acoustic equipment and combat control and navigation systems upgraded.
Two other Indian subs, Sindhuratna and Sindhuvir, had already been repaired at Zvyozdochka and another, Sindhuvijai, is next in line. afp
