1. Su-30 MKI Fighter Jets
2. T-90 MK-III Tanks
3. Akula Class Submarine
Select the answer using the code given below:
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: The Su-30 MKI is a twin-seater, twin-engine multirole fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi and built under license in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
Statement 2 is correct: The T-90 tanks (known as Bhishma in India) are manufactured domestically by the Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) at Avadi, Tamil Nadu, under a technology transfer and license agreement with Russia.
Statement 3 is incorrect: The Akula Class Submarine is a nuclear-powered attack submarine designed and built in Russia. India operated an Akula-class submarine (INS Chakra) on a long-term lease from Russia, but it is not manufactured in India.
Therefore, only items 1 and 2 are manufactured in India.
