For Morons Who Still Don't Get it...

 ... this is Chakra 2 SSN. 


Project 971 Nerpa SSN. State-of-the-art nuke which served in Indian Navy for almost 10 years. Before that, that was Chakra 1.0. Project 670 SSGN and command-navigational circuit of Indian Navy of this sub was trained in my naval academy in 1980s. So, this issue of Su-57 and technology transfer rises again. Well, Palki Sharma is correct--India will get all of it, and even more. 

This was always the history. But then again--can the US offer India S-500? Of course, not. The US is still struggling with getting anywhere near shooting down subsonic, forget about supersonic, let alone hypersonic targets. This is NOT to say that the US has nothing to offer, even today American commercial jets, some cars, other technologies are highly valued around the world (often for a good reason), but in military field the US is not even in the strike range of India, deploying 1,000 + km high supersonic Brahmos missiles and getting ready to deploy hypersonic weapons. Can the US provide India with even older Virginia-class SSNs? Of course, not. But ..., but ... Ah, yes, all those other things like energy et al. Do you get my drift? Fork in the road for India.
