Why Not Use the Kilo Class?

This article doesn't make any sense to me.

While the DRDO is speeding ahead with the development of the Air Force version of the BrahMos missile, the submarine version of the lethal projectile is yet to get a platform for testing.

The original plan was to test the missile on a Russian Akula class submarine, but that has not been finalised yet. “The missile is ready, but we are yet to finalise on the platform,” BrahMos Aerospace managing director and CEO A. Sivathanu Pillai told this website's newspaper.

What do you mean you can't find a submarine to test the Brohmos from? Earlier this month we heard Vice Admiral Puthan suggest that the entire Kilo upgrade program will probably have to be reconsidered because of poor success rates with the Klub missile, and now that India is producing a domestic submarine launched competitor to the Klub missile they can't find any platforms to test the Brohmos from?

Is the submarine launched version of the Brohmos considerably larger than the Klub? Doesn't appear to be... Sounds to me like India still hasn't figure out how to be tough with the Russians in diplomacy.

So much for never being tied to one weapon supplier. Whenever the obvious answer isn't mentioned, there is politics involved in the defense purchase, which btw consistently proves to be the best way to insure any program in India costs more than it should.
