Chavan visited the USSR to explore for the first time supplies of defence equipment including submarines and destroyers for the Indian Navy (IN). He obtained a positive response. During a follow-up visit in 1965, the USSR agreed to supply three Foxtrot class submarines and five Petya class patrol vessels and offered deferred credits for Rupee payment spread over 10 years at an interest rate of two per cent. |
