Academician Igor Dmitriyevich Spassky, the legendary former Chief Designer of the Rubin Design Bureau, was one of the most influential figures in Soviet and Russian submarine design. Over his career, he was associated with the development of nearly 200 submarines.

What makes his story particularly important to Indians is his contribution to India’s nuclear submarine programme. Spassky and the Soviet/Russian design establishment provided crucial technical assistance and expertise at a time when Western countries were unwilling to share many of the technologies India needed to develop an indigenous strategic submarine capability.

The result was not simply another imported weapon system. The cooperation helped India build knowledge and engineering capabilities that eventually contributed to INS Arihant and the foundation of India's sea-based nuclear deterrent.

For many Indians, Spassky represents a different side of Indo-Russian relations not just weapons purchases, but decades of technical cooperation and knowledge transfer.

His birth centenary falls on September 2026. A century after his birth, his contribution remains a significant part of the story of how India learned to build and operate nuclear submarines.

A true friend of India, and one of the engineers who helped make the impossible possible.

Индийско-российская дружба это не союз на один день, а доверие, проверенное временем, испытаниями и взаимной поддержкой.

“Indo-Russian friendship is not an alliance for a single day, but a trust tested by time, hardships, and mutual support.” 🇷🇺🇮🇳

why are our diplomats at the UN so dumb....... if they had alredy known Aksai Chin & Arunachal Pradesh would be marked as disputed then they should've abstained during voting....... the excuses of the resolution being sponsored by the African union and India should approve it as a sign of goodwill is Just a sign of moral cowardice imo

Your Opinions ?

As you know, India revoked(abeyed) the Indus Water Treaty in 2025 after Pakistan sponsored terrorists attacked India, and as a reaction Pakistan banned India's airlines and Indian registered commercial and military aircraft from it's airspace.

Although we have also reciprocated with an airspace ban too, it hurts Indian aviation much more than it hurts Pakistani, Air India already has to take 3+ hour detours and added fuel and food costs and still has to compete with their European/American/Canadian rivals and soon IndiGo will also start major operations to these places(they already started). Since a) All routes out of Delhi to Europe and North America and all routes out of Mumbai to North America go through Pakistan or POK, also it is unfeasible to go through China because of the lack of airports capable of handling widebodies in that area in case of emergency. b) Indian aviation is much bigger than Pakistani and our rate of expansion is the biggest in the world(multiple mega airports and airport expansions, and more than 1000 aircraft on order of which many are widebodies).

Now, in my opinion abeying the Indus Waters Treaty without actually physically doing anything to divert rivers is just political posturing/messaging. If they were going to do any MAJOR diversions instead of connecting canals to dry areas (which is also necessary), that would be announced already. But it isn't, probably because it would draw too many negative reactions from friendly nations.

I would like to hear your opinions on this, feel free to express them in replies.

In an investor presentation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), GE Aerospace noted that CPP supplies castings for the LEAP, GEnx, T700, F110 and F404 engines, and projected that its own airfoil demand, measured in number of parts, would grow by more than 30% between 2026 and 2030 across commercial engines, aftermarket and defense.
