On May 06, Indian state-owned Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) launched its fourth Scorpene-class submarine, the INS Vela, for the Indian Navy. This is the fourth of six submarines to be constructed under a transfer of technology from French collaborator Naval Group (formerly known as DCNS). This fourth Scorpene-class submarine (Project 75) has been officially launched by Mazagon Dock Limited in Mumbai. Though, it still has to undergo a series of tests by the Indian Navy before it gets commissioned in the Indian fleet.
It is the fourth submarine to be launched by the state-owned Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) after entering into a contract for the construction and transfer of technology for six Scorpene-class submarines with French collaborator Naval Group (formerly known as DCNS).
"Today, we are bringing the new Vela with modern machinery and technology to guard the seas," an official from MDL said. He then added that the fifth Scorpene-class submarine will also be launched soon.
As a reminder, the state-of-the-art technology utilised for construction of the Scorpene-class submarines has ensured superior stealth features such as advanced acoustic silencing techniques, low radiated noise levels, hydro-dynamically optimized shape and the ability to launch a crippling attack on the enemy using precision-guided weapons. The attack can be launched with both torpedoes and tube launched anti-ship missiles, whilst underwater or on the surface. The stealth of this potent platform is enhanced by the special attention given to various signatures. These stealth features give it an invulnerability, unmatched by most submarines.
Scorpene submarines can undertake multifarious types of missions i.e Anti-Surface warfare, Anti-Submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, mine laying, area surveillance etc. The submarine is designed to operate in all theatres, with means provided to ensure interoperability with other components of a Naval Task Force. It is a potent platform, marking a generational shift in submarine operations.

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/d ... 2019-05-03Defence ministry approves Navy's Rs 3,600-crore deal with Russia for 10 Kamov-31 helicopters
Ministry of Defence has cleared Indian Navy's deal with Russia for 10 Kamov-31 helicopters to strengthen its capability against aerial threats to its aircraft carriers and large warships. Defence ministry has approved the procurement of 10 Kamov Ka-31 Airborne Early Warning and Control helicopters for the Indian Navy.
The cost of the deal would be around Rs 3,600 crore and the 10 helicopters would be deployed on the aircraft carriers and warships of the Navy including the INS Vikrant and Grigorovich-class frigates.
The aim of the choppers is to sanitise the air space around the battle groups led by the aircraft carriers while carrying out operations in the sea or anti-submarine warfare operations.
The Navy has a fleet of Russian Kamov-28 choppers along with the seaking choppers which were procured in 1980s and need to be upgraded for future operations.
The Narendra Modi-led government has not let the election season affect the military modernisation plans as Defence Acquisition Council and cabinet committee on security meetings are being held regularly to clear important acquisitions for the forces.
The Kamov-31 deal would now be processed by the Navy and after negotiations, it would be presented before the cabinet committee on security for final approval.
As this is a follow-on order, which means that when a weapon system (in this case, the chopper) is already with the armed forces and more are needed, the lengthy process of trials has already been gone through and aren't really required again.
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) is headed by defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman and includes the three service chiefs and the defence secretary.
