The previous Chakra submarine left the East Indian port, it seemed to enter the East Sea on the journey to the port of Vladivostok, eastern Russia.

Ins Chakra crossed the Strait of Singapore in June 5.

Ins chakra is a nuclear submarine attacking the 971 Shchuka-B project, which is launched by Russia in 2008 with the name K-152 NERPA.

Shchuka-B submarines can dive to a maximum depth of 600 m, double the same US submarines and reach a maximum speed of up to 65 km / h.

Ins Chakra is equipped with 4 torpedo tubes of 533 mm and 4 torpedo tubes 650 mm, three Igla-M anti-aircraft launchers and carry dozens of cruise missiles.

The Indian Navy is facing a serious shortage of submarines.

New Delhi in 2019 signed an agreement worth $ 3.3 billion with Moskva to hire an additional nuclear submarine to attack 971 scheme with a 10-year period.
