You didn’t say that. But the guys for whom my post was meant said that and that is why I said don’t quote me out of context! My only argument through out this thread has been that the range and endurance of Arihant is far greater than any conventional sub PN has or intends to buy. I even...

And you get the mighty 'Nuke Sub Hunter-U214' first and then device ways of taking out Arihant! "Speculations are healthy, but let's not get carried away." On a more serious note, don't quote me out of context. Read my post again, I have mentioned the expected time line ie 2011-2012. And...

100 days for 100 men in shifts? Don’t compare your endurance with that of trained military personnel. Read my previous post! So, you plan to take out a sub with a cruise missile? Very intelligent indeed! India will try to do this, Pak will try to do that! Of course you are the genius...

Try to understand what he is saying if your intention is to participate in a healthy debate without degrading other members’ point of view. The Indian SSBN can carry a crew of 100 men who all work in shifts. There is no need for 100 men to work together at any point of time. I don’t know if...

That was in response to the several other simplistic statements made before my post and wasn’t meant for a learned member such as you. Those in my humble opinion are blanket statements that do not address the main topic at hand. What use are better electronics, stealth and vigilant...

While it is good to feel proud when nice things are said about one’s country, it is not prudent to get carried away. Maybe it is mere coincidence that I found this piece from another Indian who thinks quite contrary to the theme of this thread. And when that fellow Indian happens to be some one...

X-posting from the thread http://www.defence.pk/forums/naval-forces/30708-pakistan-possible-answer-against-india-neculear-submarine.html I have a very simple exercise for those who think that a conventional diesel electric sub can take out the Indian SSBN. Here it goes- Estimate the...

I have a very simple exercise for those who think that a conventional diesel electric sub can take out the Indian SSBN. Here it goes- Estimate the shortest distance between any Pakistani Naval base and the Indian Vizag port in our east coast where our SSBN will be stationed. Then calculate the...

If there are any events in Indian history that make me bow my head in shame, they have to be the Babri Masjid demolition, the Sikh Riots and Godhra riots. Those were the times when many Indians forgot that they were human beings and committed atrocities that a man would shudder to imagine. No...

Majority of Indian weapon systems have Sanskrit/Hindi names like, Tejas (LCA), Agni, Prithvi, Arihant etc. primarily because Sanskrit is the mother of all languages not only in India but even in the subcontinent and Hindi happens to be our national language. All the names are meant to describe...

INS Arihant is a ballistic missile submarine (SSBN). Its primary role is to launch nuclear tipped ballistic missiles from under water. SSBNs are strategic assets for any country that possess them simply because an SSBN is the only invincible ballistic missile launch platform operational in the...

Spoken like a true MP. Ruskies provided consultancy only! The entire sub was built in India by Indian agencies. PHWR by BARC, Sensors by NPO (DRDO), Hull by L&T and missiles and other armaments by DRDO. Though I suspect that the sub grade steel and anechoic tiles might have been imported...
