India gets nuclear submarine from Russia


MOSCOW: Russia on Monday transferred the much-expected K-152 Nerpa nuclear-powered attack submarine on a 10-year lease to the Indian Navy, Russian news agencies reported.

The Nerpa was handed over to the Indian Navy in a ceremony at the Zvezda shipyard in the far eastern territory of Primorye.

Indian ambassador to Russia Ajai Malhotra attended the ceremony along with a delegation from Russian arms exports agency Rosoboronexport, the United Shipbuilding Corporation and the Russian Pacific Fleet command.

With a displacement of 12,770 tonnes and maximum speed of 30 knots, the submarine can remain underwater for 100 days with a crew of 73. The vessel that can operate at a maximum depth of 600 metres is armed with four 533-mm torpedo tubes and four 650-mm torpedo tubes. (Monitoring Desk)
