With all due respect , i believe the Indian Navy knows the "precise" state of those submarines.We on the other hand , can only speculate.

Chill man , Navy knows better than us.Its their job.Missiles and torpedos , they know what they want and wont settle without the best they can lay their hands on.

Sir , Fully agree about the Russians and their weapons.
It always looks like the only Russian things cute are their girls.

My friend i beg to differ on this point. Lemme give u a perfect example. Look at IAF. It gets a bunch lot of money and attention in our armed forces.Thay are still flying MIG21 most of which have nearly finished their life span(all except the bis versions that are being upgraded to 91 types). There are crashes but who gotta go along as its the matter of national security.Look at The advanced jet trainer . We couldnot get them so we still train out [pilots derectly in mig21 till the hawk aare made available.
Now about our navy the prob is we need nuke subs so badly that even if it comes with some minor /major glitches we will get it.For instance we can pay and get a lopt of rotten material replaced(if we have money which i geuss shoul;dnot be a problem ) but if we expect russains to build a new reactor core for us , its gonna be a hard job to convince them replace it.Again if we find it difficult to pay some somethin that we is not in good shape we might just go with it, after all its a matter of national security and a lot can be compromised for it.
