India could build six submarines under license from Soryu Japanese.
The Indian government is considering to build under license in their country six submarines of conventional propulsion Japanese Soryu class. According to local media collected, India would have asked Japan the possibility of building six submarines under license in Indian shipyards for a sum of 8,100 million dollars. Recall that the government of Prime Minister Modi has reoriented large number of military programs to local construction, following the motto "Make in India", allowing participation of foreign companies as technology partners.
This would mean the formation of a commercial alliance between the Japanese shipbuilders Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation with local companies. As has been reporting, Australia is interested in this type of submarines, of which at this time would be negotiating the purchase or joint manufacture of up to twelve submersibles. Japan has offered to Indian Navy maritime patrol seaplanes US-2i that India had pledged to acquire six units, negotiation that has been announced since January last year.

Japan launches new spy satellite radar observation.
Japan launched a new spy satellite radar observation by H-2A rocket lifted off from Tanegashima Space Center. Last week the launch was postponed due to bad weather. It has already been the fifth Japanese spy satellite into orbit. Previously two devices were launched optical observation and two with radar.
The two-stage rocket H-2A was developed by the Japanese space agency JAXA jointly with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The satellite will allow to obtain high resolution images of targets on the earth's surface through clouds and at night. Japan launched a program using own spy satellites after North Korea launched a rocket in 1998 that flew over Japanese territory and landed in the Pacific.

These subs would be excellent for India...but India has such a hodge podge of subs.
Russian Kilos, GErman Type 209s, French Scorpions, and now Japanese Soryus.
They should make a really long term, close partnership with Japan and standardize on this.
Or, at some point, they need to be able to build their own, Thatis why they want to build them in India of course.
But I believe the Japanese Soryu SSK to be among the best AIP subs in the world. Big vessels at 4,200 ton displacement, very quiet, long range of 6,100 nautical miles at 6-7 knots, and carry a good load of weapons (30 reloads)
Right now i don't think can be considered really serious India buy Soryu, never see it...
And with India much annoucements, cancellations also... and much less deals signed... !

See the comparison for look, all AESA radars on the island in the front for 25DD, Akizuki 2 above hangar with this design not nice and stealth.

Many times we have say to you Jura impossible to know unit price with a deal with support, training etc...
in more it is not Wall Street here ...Especially with a country like Japan where they buy everything from A to Z - like they did with their F-35 purchase. They bought everything for maintance etc in a single deal. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here as well.Many times we have say to you Jura impossible to know unit price with a deal with support, training etc...
It's right there in the article:
"... plus one additional spare. Japan would also receive training and support as part of the agreement."
A spare engine and training an support.
For how many years?
How much training and support?
Japan tends to buy A LOT of this type of thing to ensure that it is covered for almost any contingency.
