Zitat:Incident: Indian Navy Submarine Reported In International Waters Off Pakistanhttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...-pakistan/
According to reports, a Pakistan Navy maritime patrol aircraft observed a submarine on October 16 2021. The accompanying video shows two masts of a submarine. Analysis of the footage suggests that it is a Scorpène class submarine. Circumstantially, this supports the claim that it is an Indian Navy vessel, which operates the Scorpène, known locally as the Kalvari Class. Submarine expert Richard W. Stirn, who specializes in identifying submarines based on their masts, also identified it as likely a Scorpène Class boat. [...]
There have been a series of similar events in recent years. Generally the exact details are unclear and it is reported differently by each country. This footage appears to be distinct from previously released imagery. [...] India operates four Kalvari Class submarines, with another two expected to join the fleet in the next few years. They are not equipped with AIP (air independent power), which would reduce the amount of time that they have to snorkel. This is termed the indiscretion rate. However there are plans to equip them with a locally design fuel-cell AIP in the future.
