"These three Kilo-class submarines, armed with the latest Klub-S cruise missiles,
are the last batch of the eight contracted by China from Russia in a $2-billion deal in 2002," said a top source.

"The helicopters aboard our warships clicked their photographs with remarkable clarity. The first five submarines were delivered by the
end of 2005.

China, incidentally, had also procured four Kilo-class submarines from Russia in the mid-1990s," he added.

As part of India's policy of maritime diplomacy, the four western fleet warships are on an overseas deployment mission during which
they will travel to Alexandria (Egypt), Haifa (Israel), Athens (Greece), Izmir (Turkey) and Tripoli (Libya).
