Secrets of ultra stealth submarines revealed in massive leak
The Indian government is investigating the leak of more than 22,000 pages of documents that reveal secret data about its new high-tech fleet of submarines.
The leak, first reported by The Australian, includes sensitive information about the Scorpene submarines designed by French defense contractor DCNS for the Indian Navy. The documents detail the stealth submarines' sensors, torpedo launch systems, as well as communications and navigation capabilities.
"What I understand right now is that there is a case of hacking," Indian Minister of Defense Manohar Parrikar told reporters on Wednesday. "We have asked the Indian naval chief to investigate the matter and give a detailed report about the leak."
The Indian Defense Ministry said in a statement that "it appears that the source of leak is from overseas and not in India."
