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.

Nuclear propulsion for the scorpene seems highly unlikely

but scorpenes should come with AIP it may be MESMA or other Hydrogen fuel cell like in U-214

by the way

any news about the second line of SSK after the scorpenes

IN need subs quickly
