Russia hands over Nerpa nuclear sub to India
Russia’s K-152 Nerpa nuclear-powered attack submarine has been handed over to the Indian Navy, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported on earlier this week.
In line with the contract worth over $900 million, the Project 971 Shchuka-B (NATO: Akula II) class sub has been leased to India’s Navy for ten years. It will be renamed the INS Chakra.
India has become the sixth operator of nuclear submarines in the world, after the United States, Russia, France, Britain and China. —Defpro.com and RIA Novosti
