Can you confirm that French never gave anything of that sort in the case of Aussie deal?
Falklands war, Iraq war…how well was the integrity of the French systems?
In the case of Agostas, they are far below (not downplaying its capability or combat potential) what the Indian navy already had and in all likelihood the Indian 877s would have already made a databank of those subs.
Agosta class was the last from the French which still had that ww2 u-boat touch where as the Scorpene was a new generation sub that marked a complete departure for the French conventional submarines.
So the likely standards that DCNS would have presented to the Indian team would be those which they achieved for the Chilean navy (and even Malaysian navy) scorpenes. Any stuff regarding the older Agosta’s would be a good thing to have which can also come in the form of including it in the threat library and doesnt have to be presented in the hard copy form.
Actually, its Australia which have issues with everyone else other than their “homelanders” and their minions. They are insecure about the Indonesians invading them, Chinese invading them, have been the prime snooper on behalf of their master on the Indian navy all these decades and their only adversary in the Indian ocean region was the Indian navy. Its only after Indian political elites started bending over for Aussi’s masters that the “hostility” and “adversary” stuffs went underground, but definitely not vanished from the decision process. The last major open snooping on the high seas (which got reported) was with the case with INS Delhi near Indian waters after its induction. They dropped off the snobouys around the destroyer for obvious reasons. Indian navy doesn’t go down under and drop sonobouys around aussie ships near aussie waters…
OK I will make it simple for you, the answer is no ! As for the rest of your dribble…..
