الهند ستتسلم الغواصه النوويه نيربا من روسيا فى مارس 2011
Russia to hand over Nerpa nuclear sub to India in March 2011
Russia will transfer the K-152 Nerpa attack submarine to India on a 10-year lease in March 2011, the governor of the Far East Khabarovsk region said on Friday.
Twenty sailors and technical workers were killed onboard the submarine shortly after the start of sea trials in November 2008, due to a toxic gas leak when the automatic fire extinguishing system malfunctioned. The boat is now fully operational following repairs.
"The boat has been handed over [to the fleet] now. According to the agreement, it will be transferred to India in March of the next year," Vyacheslav Shport told journalists.
The $900-million lease contract was drawn up after Moscow and New Delhi sealed a deal in January 2004, in which India agreed to fund part of the Nerpa's construction.
The Nerpa was originally scheduled to be introduced into the Indian Navy as INS Chakra by mid-2008.
الغواصه سيتم تأجيرها للهند إبتداء من مارس 2011 ولمدة عشر سنوات
ستدفع الهند لروسيا 900 مليون دولار وهو المبلغ المتفق عليه فى العقد
كان من المقرر تسليم الغواصه للهند فى 2008 إلا أن فى نفس العام قتل 20 بحار روسى فى إختبار للغواصه فى البحر ولم تكن إختبارات الأمان قد إكتملت بعد
