btw, regarding the (supposed 1,500km) cruise missile DRDO are developing is it right to asume its being derived from the Lakshya UAV project :?:

Why in gods name would the US be worried about IN subs? Does the US actually think that it would have trouble dealing with IN subs if the Indian government really did in some fairytale order a blocking of all or some chokepoints in the Indian Ocean. The indian ocean is a massive body of sea, not to be controlled by a country which is only its namesake. If the US is not worried about Iran fiddling with its kilos in the gulf then it wont feel any different about IN subs.

Any submarine in any situation is always a threat. The Iranian Kilos are not the same as the Indian Kilos(as with regards to post upgradations that the Indian Kilos are undergoing), as a matter of fact I remember reading that the Iranian Kilos were upgraded with Indian batteries some years back.

Lakshya Cruise Missile Variant is of range 600km and is under development.
1500km Cruise Missile would be very tough for india to develop. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/lakshya.htm

India is also developing it as an air- or land-launched variant cruise
missile system capable of carrying a 350 kg payload to a range of 600 kms.

No matter what manufacturer claims are no one really has COMPLETELY surpassed the US in the naval field

No one is saying that they have surpassed US navy,infact nobody can.
They were saying that Kilo are a small worry for US (mini worries),just to be cautioned that in Arabian sea and Indian ocean other countries Submarines do patrol.Besides Kilo has the name Black Hole given by US and some believe that is becoz they are slightly silent.
Akula-2 will be a threat to US navy but cannot really challenge.

PJ-10 ur expectations are too big.Forget about India leasing,even russians don't have money to complete the first unit.

Its an Strategic Missile Submarine,Constructed began at 1996 and even the first unit is not completed due shortage of funds and expected to completed by 2007-2010 if funds are availaible.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/slbm/935.htm

As of early 1999 it appeared that construction had ceased on the first unit of the Borei-class, pending a redesign of the ship to accomodate a different missile from the originally intended SS-N-28, which had failed its first three test firings and was subsequently said to have been abandoned. The first remains under construction with a scheduled launch in 2005. Other sources state the commissioning year to be 2007-2010, depending on availability of funds.
