NEW DELHI: The Indian and British navies are all set to launch submarine combat wargames on the western coast on Wednesday, even as British PM David Cameron begins his three-day visit to India.
Cameron’s visit also comes at a time when India has decided to order another 57 British Hawk AJTs (advanced jet trainers) in a project worth around Rs 9,400 crore, as reported by TOI earlier. The new Hawks will be in addition to the 66 already contracted in the Rs 8,000-crore project finalised in March 2004.
As for the naval wargames beginning Wednesday, the Trafalgar-class HMS Talent submarine is going to match its combat skills against the Indian INS Shankush submarine off the Goa coast.
