Operating principle
The Scorpène is the Naval Group's SSK export flagship — diesel-electric, optional MESMA AIP, 67 m, 1,700 tons. Armament: 6 533 mm tubes for F21 torpedoes and Exocet SM39. Users: Chile, Malaysia, India (Kalvari class, 6 boats in licensed production at Mazagon Dock Limited), Brazil (Riachuelo, 4 boats in licensed production + 1 nuclear-powered derivative in development), Indonesia evaluation in 2024. India's Kalvari class stands out: each successive boat through K6 grows more complex (DRDO indigenous AIP for the last two).
