The scorpenes don't have the "X" rudders. They have the conventional "+" rudders.
I wonder if MESMA is included in the contract. The contract is uduly expensive. Makes one wonder if it is the scorpene that are being built.
Now a Scorpene + Nuclear reactor = Rubis class. Both the scorpene and the rubis seem to have nearly the same general design and dimensions/
Brazil has ordered 4 scorpenes, and a fifth scorpene is supposedly the one to get a nuclear reactor for propulsion.
I wonder if India is getting nuclear propulsion for the scorpene too.
