Which of the following items of defence hardware is/are manufactured in India?
- Su-30 MKI Fighter Jets
- T-90 MK-III Tanks
- Akula Class Submarine
Select the answer using the code given below:
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Su-30 MKI is manufactured in India under licence by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited at Nashik with progressive indigenisation of major systems (statement 1 correct). T-90 'Bhishma' tanks, including the upgraded T-90 MK-III variant, are produced under licence at the Heavy Vehicles Factory, Avadi, by Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited (statement 2 correct). The Akula-class nuclear-powered attack submarine (e.g., INS Chakra) is leased from Russia and built in Russian shipyards; India does not manufacture Akula-class submarines (statement 3 incorrect). Hence only 1 and 2 are correct.
