Looks as if Soryu class is picking up steam.

India asks Japan if it’s interested in Rs 50,000 crore submarine project

NEW DELHI: Russia, France, Germany and Spain, all better watch out. They may have to contend with Japan in the race to supply submarines to India. In keeping with their expanding strategic partnership, the Modi government has asked the Shinzo Abe administration whether it would be interested in the over Rs 50,000 crore project to build six stealth submarines in India.

I wonder if some kind of three way agreement can be developed between Australia, India and Japan.

Not at all surprised to see this. The Soryu subs are really magnificent pieces of equipment and very capable. The JMSDSF has received seven of them and will build at least three more.

I do not expect the interest to stop at Australia and India either...not that Japan is willing to make some if its systems available.

I would be very surprised if Japan sold its Soryu technologies.

Well, the negotiations with Australia have been fairly strong.

I think they will sell some of it and may hold some back...but we shall see.

If Japan is serious about foreign military sales...particularly to allied nations...we may see it happen. Just how close the relationship will become with India is nt clear at this point....but it would not surprise me.
