You literally have MKIs. HAL is reopening the line right now as we speak. AL-31s are rolling off HAL Koraput lines. You literally have everything. Someone just needs to push the file at MoD and we'll have a fleet of 400 MKIs in 5y.

DRDO says no French engine on NASM MR. Someone just wrote it without verification.

One and half years after I wrote this article summarizing everything we know about India's Project-77 SSN program as of late 2024, we know so much more now. Here's a quick summary of what we know as of mid-2026:

What is CONFIRMED by reliable sources so far:

1. It will indeed displace around 10,000 tons (one figure quoted by an older source states a very specific 9,800-ton figure). So very much in the league of Russia's Yasen, China's future Type-095 & upcoming SSN-AUKUS boats, and significantly bigger than UK's Astute, France's Suffren or the earlier blocks of US' Virginia-class boats.

2. It will be powered by a 190-200 megawatt PWR known as CLWR-B2. A shore-based prototype of which is known to have been in existence at least as of 2018.

3. It will have VLS capability. Described as having "close to a dozen" VLS cells of the 'large' variety, so would be capable of launching likes of BrahMos/future Scramjet-based Hypersonics & possible ASBMs/HGVs.

4. It will be a double-hulled design, similar in that regard to Russia's design philosophies.

What has NOT BEEN CONFIRMED so far:

5. Whether it will have an X-form rudder or conventional cross-form rudder/tail planes.

6. Whether Nuclear-Electric Propulsion (NEP), aka Turbo-Electric Drive will be implemented or not.

7. Whether the boat will have a Pump-Jet Propulsor (PJP) or not. The PJP & NEP implementations might be tied to each other, and will have implications on whether we follow the Russian operational doctrine of speed over stealth or if we choose to go with Western doctrine. This is the most interesting part to look forward to as Pumpjet & NEP are much more likely to find application on the S-5 SSBN program, which is in a much more advanced stage than the SSN (first 2 boats already in construction). So we can be relatively certain that whether we put it on the SSN or not might come down to doctrinal choices.

What has not been confirmed, but is EXTREMELY LIKELY nevertheless:

8. It will make use of conformal sonars. Especially a Conformal Bow Array (CBA) along with flank arrays integrated into the hull. Provision of towed array will anyway be there.

9. It will make use of non-hull penetrating optronic & other radiofrequency masts, a technology we've already commercialized for production.

I will probably write a new, updated article once some more information becomes available from quotable sources. All that said, my sincere thanks to the stringent & credible journalism of @SandeepUnnithan and @IamRajat_Pandit, without whose consistent & in-depth reporting I wouldn't be able to write summaries or articles like these, let alone draw some inferences of my own.

Shown below are two AI-assisted renditions I made of the P-77. The first is directly based on the Project-885M Yasen-M (which by now looks like the closest configuration match with P-77's reported specs, all things considered) and the second is based on an NSTL image of a submarine model they were testing a few years ago, originally brought to my attention by @GODOFPARADOXES. Of course we cannot be certain that this wasn't just a generic model they were testing for system-calibration purposes or otherwise, but it's interesting that NSTL decided to make it public.

Open-source evidence indicates that Russia's 3M22 Zircon is not the hypersonic cruise missile it is widely assumed to be, but a maneuverable quasi-ballistic system.

So it's more like a ~ BrahMos sized LRAShM (pic 4) but less maneuverable?

Mutual trust is the most important strategic asset today.

But, sadly, today, the world does not suffer from a shortage of resources…it suffers from a shortage of trust.

And the future of our partnerships depends on re-building this trust.

Stopping Op Sindoor when Pakistan was on the mat will remain the biggest error of judgement for Modi.

Nothing comes close to that. He really read the room wrong that day!
