The first two Arihant-class submarines carry a limited number of missile tubes. Future units (S4, S4* and the S5 class) are expected to be larger with more vertical launch tubes.

Indian conglomerate Larsen &amp; Toubro (L&amp;T) and Spain's Navantia have joined hands to submit a combined bid for India's highly coveted Project 75 (I) submarine programme.

The teaming agreement (TA) was officially signed on Monday at the Spanish Embassy in New Delhi and witnessed the attendance of S N Subrahmanyan, L&amp;T CEO &amp; MD, and Augustin Alvarez Blanco, Naval Construction Vice President and Member of the Board at Navantia.

Spain's ambassador to India José María Ridao Domínguez, and Spanish Defense Attaché, Captain (Navy) Fernando Alvarez also graced the occasion, emphasising the strong diplomatic ties between Spain and India.

Speaking to WION, ambassador José María Ridao Domínguez expressed Spain's steadfast support for India's ‘Make in India’ initiative, technology transfer, and collaboration in the submarine program.

He said, "We have elections in two weeks, but the most important thing is that it expresses full engagement and censuses among the political parties in Spain in proving that relations with India, and supporting the idea of Make in India technology transfer and engage with programme of submarines, and this is how Spain can contribute to stability to this part of the world."

<h2>Indian Navy's Project 75 (I)</h2>

The Indian Navy's Project 75 (I) is an endeavour that requires the indigenous production of six conventional submarines equipped with Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP). The project, expected to exceed $5.2 billion in value, represents India's largest defence acquisition programme to date.

It will be executed under the strategic partnership (SP) model of the Ministry of Defence, emphasising collaboration between Indian and foreign entities.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, CEO &amp; MD of L&amp;T, Subrahmanyan said, “L&amp;T is proud to collaborate with Navantia for this prestigious program of strategic importance for the nation’s security. We are committed to providing the most contemporary solution for Indian Navy’s requirements at a competitive price.”

<h2>Navantia's expertise</h2>

Under the terms of the agreement, Navantia, drawing from its experience in submarine design, including the S80 class and Scorpène class submarines, will spearhead the design phase for the P75(I) submarines.

Navantia's S80 class submarines, the first of which is set for delivery to the Spanish Navy at the end of 2023, have already undergone successful sea trials.

The Spanish shipbuilder has previously partnered with DCNS (now Naval Group) of France in the design and construction of Scorpène class submarines, which have been exported to Chile and Malaysia.

Earlier this year, Defence PSU Mazagon Dock and Germany's Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems signed a MoU to bid for the project.

The MoU was signed last month during the visit of the German Defence Minister,&nbsp;Boris Pistorius,&nbsp;to India.

INS Visakhapatnam: India's new stealth guided missile destroyer to be commissioned

Indian navy has rejected the claim of Pakistan's military that its navy blocked an Indian submarine from entering into the country's waters. Indian side has termed the video as 'fake'. Pakistan army’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) had claimed that an Indian submarine was detected by a Pakistan Navy patrol aircraft on October 16.

Pak claims India's submarine entered its waters; Indian sources call it fake

Myanmar on Saturday formally commissioned an Indian ship into its Navy.

India had delivered INS Sindhuvir to Myanmar in October. The Myanmar Navy named the Indian ship UMS Minye Theinkhathu after its national hero.&nbsp;

It is the first submarine in the Myanmar Navy's arsenal. The former Soviet-era submarine was in operation in the Indian Navy since 1988.

India's move comes amid growing Chinese influence along the Indian Ocean as it seeks to diversify its allies to take on the Dragon.

UMS Minye Theinkhathu can operate at a depth of up to 300 meters. &nbsp;India and Myanmar share a long 725-kilometre maritime boundary along the Bay of Bengal.&nbsp;

Myanmar has been seeking to modernise its defence forces as India seeks to "build capacities and self-reliance" among its neighbours with an eye on China.

China had earlier provided submarines to Bangladesh, Thailand and its chief ally Pakistan. India's gift to Myanmar will provide it with a vital link to ensure military and diplomatic ties with the regime with the Indian Navy providing technical support to the country.

The Indian Ocean region is responsible for over 80 per cent of world trade and is a vital gateway for the country's interest. Myanmar has been engaged in an ongoing maritime border dispute with Thailand.&nbsp;

Thailand had earlier sought to procure three Yuan-class submarines from China, however, the government's plan was disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic this year. Reports say Thailand is now eying buying the submarines from China in 2023.

Myanmar Navy inducts Indian submarine INS Sindhuvir

Pakistan has stopped an Indian submarine from entering its waters, the navy said Tuesday, as <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/iaf-shoots-down-pakistani-drone-that-violated-airspace-in-rajasthan-201136">tensions continue to run high between the nuclear-armed foes</a>.

The development came days after a rare aerial dogfight between India and Pakistan over Kashmir ignited fears of an all-out conflict, with world powers rushing to urge restraint.

"The Pakistan navy stopped an Indian submarine from entering our territorial waters," a naval spokesman said in a statement.

He said "the Indian submarine was not targeted in line with the government's policy of maintaining peace".

It was the first such incident since 2016, when Pakistan said it had "pushed" an Indian submarine away from Pakistani waters.&nbsp;

The spokesman did not give further details, including when or where the submarine was detected. It was also not clear if they meant the 12 nautical mile (22 kilometre) territorial waters limit or the broader 200 nautical mile (370 kilometre) exclusive economic zone.

The navy also released what it said was video of the submarine, with the grainy black and white footage showing only what appeared to be a periscope above water. The timestamp on the video clip shows it began at 8.35 pm on Monday.&nbsp;

There was no immediate comment from Indian officials.

In recent days the nuclear-armed Asian countries have come closer to conflict than in years, after a suicide bombing in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama killed 40 Indian paramilitaries.

A militant group based in Pakistan claimed responsibility for the February 14 blast, and 12 days later Indian jets bombed what New Delhi called a terrorist training camp deep inside Pakistan.

Pakistan has denied any damage or casualties.&nbsp;

The next day Pakistani aircraft entered Indian airspace and the two nations' jets engaged in aerial dogfights, with at least one Indian aircraft shot down and its pilot captured by Pakistan.

The pilot was handed back to India last Friday in what Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan called a "peace gesture".

Both sides also claimed a second plane had been shot down, but they have disputed whose plane it was and what happened to the pilot.

Pakistani and Indian soldiers have continued to fire artillery and mortars over the Line of Control, in the days since, killing several civilians on both sides.

India rejects Pakistani Navy video as propaganda

Documents relating to Indian submarines were stolen from French naval contractor DCNS and not leaked, a French government source said yesterday, adding that the information published so far showed only operational aspects of the submarines. 
 
India and France have opened investigations after The Australian newspaper published on Wednesday documents about its Scorpene submarines being built in India. 
 
&quot;It is not a leak, it is theft,&quot; the source said. &quot;We have not found any DCNS negligence, but we have identified some dishonesty by an individual.&quot; 
 
The source said the documents looked to have been stolen in 2011 by a former French employee who had been fired while providing training in India on the use of the submarines. 
 
The documents were not classified and at this stage appeared to only focus on the operational elements of the submarines, the source said.
