‘Aridaman’, India’s second nuclear-armed submarine, is ready for launch

[Skull and Bones]

Read it somewhere, but forgot the link. It was decided earlier itself that Aridaman will have many more tubes than Arihant.

Because I heard only 8 K-4 can be carried.

OK so. Pakistan has nuclear weapons on its tiny little obsolete navvy .

But

India which has five times mire ships and five times. Bigger defense budget has no nukes or torpordeos.

India has nothing but lies.

Are you Pakistanis happy now


No stop begging USA to give you money

no you not understand. let me explain this in simple. pakistan has nuclear weapons on ships because big achivement on minituraisation of nuclear bombs. india only has big nuclear bombs. navy ships have small space so small missile and only small nuclear bomb. here pakistan wins. because of pakistans major achivment now pakistani navy is fully nuclear but indian navy is not.

you see 5 times bigger brain of pakistan beats 5 times bigger budget of indian navy. so simple. lol.

India’s second nuclear-armed submarine is now ready for launch, a critical step towards a planned quick induction into the Indian Navy to strengthen strategic deterrence. The ‘Aridaman’, which has been under construction at the secretive Ship Building Centre in Visakhapatnam, could be launched as early as in the next six to eight weeks.

Sources have told ThePrint that the submarine – larger, more powerful and better equipped than India’s first nuclear sub INS Arihant – has undergone all work required at the dry dock and will shortly be launched into water for further outfitting.

The launch ceremony is a critical milestone in naval shipbuilding, signifying that all major work including integration of heavy machinery and equipment is complete. The ceremony would also require political clearance. The 2009 launch of INS Arihant was a major media event by the UPA government.

The status and progress on Aridaman has been a tightly guarded secret, with no Indian official authorised to talk about the project. The nuclear submarine program is directly monitored by the National Security Advisor (NSA).

After the launch, which is basically a flooding of the dry dock followed by a gentle slipping of the submarine into the sea, the Aridaman will be moved to ‘Site Bravo’, a covered test area for further work. The launch is technically possible any time now but it will be a while – a year at the earliest – for the boat to be ready for sea trials.

BIG PROGRESS

Although INS Arihant is the first Indian nuclear armed boat, the long developmental period, testing and technological issues it faced has meant that it is more of a technology demonstrator. The Aridaman is set to be the first credible underwater nuclear weapon delivery platform, with shipbuilders and designers learning from the first construction.

Not only is the boat larger and equipped to carry more of the K-15 submarine launched missiles, it will also have a more powerful reactor than the 83 MW one on board the Arihant. More importantly, Indian shipbuilders have drastically cut down construction time on the boat.

Work on the Aridaman started in earnest after the Arihant was launched in 2009. While the Arihant took 11 years to reach the launch stage, Aridaman has got there within eight. The Indian Navy is hopeful that the time to induction will also be cut. Faced with technological challenges, it took the Arihant seven years to go from launch to induction – a quiet commissioning was done last year – but the Navy is believed to be looking at an ambitious two-year target for the Aridaman.

THE NEXT STEPS

After being moved under the power of harbour tugs to Site Bravo, the Aridaman will undergo several tests over the next year, including the crucial activation of the nuclear reactor. All major components that include the all-important missile launchers and torpedo tubes are already integrated and the submarine would be tested using external power.

After the systems pass all safety tests using external power, the nuclear reactor of the submarine – developed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) – will be activated. After the nuclear reactor stabilises, the boat will again undergo safety checks for all systems before being moved to the stage of harbour trials.

Sea trials will subsequently commence to take the submarine through the rigours of combat duty. This will include submerged tests, high speed cruises and firing from torpedo and missile tubes. Indian Navy crews – who are also operating the INS Chakra nuclear attack submarine leased from Russia – will be transferred to carry out tests and the induction process for Aridaman.

Besides the plans for nuclear armed submarines, India has also cleared a project to construct a new line of nuclear-powered but conventionally-armed submarines (SSNs). The mammoth plan, expected to cost over $12 billion, is for six modern vessels to be made in India. First official comments on the plan came in 2015 with a senior Navy officer revealing that the design work had started on the project and the aim is to come out with a new class of submarines within 15 years.

no you not understand. let me explain this in simple. pakistan has nuclear weapons on ships because big achivement on minituraisation of nuclear bombs. india only has big nuclear bombs. navy ships have small space so small missile and only small nuclear bomb. here pakistan wins. because of pakistans major achivment now pakistani navy is fully nuclear but indian navy is not.

you see 5 times bigger brain of pakistan beats 5 times bigger budget of indian navy. so simple. lol.

SO INDIA WHICH FIELDS NUCLEAR POWERED AND NUCLEAR TIPPED SUBS is not nuclear capable

BUT

PAKISTAN with military budget equal to one/tenth of india AND a tog boat navy has nukes

YEAK OK only in the world of PAKISTANI FICTION LOL LOL LOL

SEE IT
DIGEST IT
SMELL IT

STOP TALKING GARBAGE

Prove to us what palistani is doing

BECAUSE we think you cant build a rowing boats

SHOW US the proof like we are shoving in your faces of INDIAN FORMIDABLE NAVY SHIPS built in india

and thy look awesome

its not how much money but how much brain.

you seem to not know much about navy. its okay i will explain more. i am inteligent in submarin.

here you see submarin and ship can only carry limited weight.

therefore submarin or ship have x number of silo. each silo is small and short. very limited compre to ground silo.

so not big missile fit in silo. only small missile fit in navy ships.

small missile means small warhead. so minituration is must.

pakistan has miniture nuclear bomb so no problem fitting on small missile on navy ships.

india doesn't have miniature bomb so can't put on small missile so no no for ships.

i am not saying india isn't nuclear. india has agni, pritvi etc. but indian navy is non nuclear.

so you see now you understand. once you read above you too understand indian government fake propaganda about fake nuclear submarin.

stop wasting people time as no one will take you seriously .... " Big expart on submarin" ... learn to spell first and second - stop being a troll!

 

[thesolar65]

In Wikipedia it shows 3rd and the 4th are under construction. But I heard only 3 will be built. I mean SSBN.
May be the 4th one is SSN!
Can any one tell what will be the 3rd one's name?

i am expert in submarine this is true. my argument was so very powerful you can't answer back. so now you do low name calling. do you know i am military specialist? no? lol.

anyone can use spelling cheking tool. i check spelling too look all spelings are right. no big achivement.

hard truth is i don't care about english. it is not my father's languge. it is not your father's languge too. white people came to our country and killd our people and forced us to speak english. this is shamefull.

no pride in speaking english. so please don't tell me how my english is. just argue on hard facts on submarines. i give so many information in submarine. in nuclear power. but nohing from anyone return. only name calling. english teashing. very very sad.

S-5 onwards( 4th SSBN), come under different class I think. They'll be much bigger and powerful.

 

[MULUBJA]

all hot air propaganda from indian government. india doesn't have small reactors. this is a known fact. so how india made submarin reactor?

india can't make a normal submarin byt makes nucler submrin without small reactors? without torpedos? all lies from indian goverment just face saving aginst super power china.

If i am wrong pelease tell me why indian goverment is not showing phots?

Ohhhh my god. you have a great inside information on Indian armed forces. I thought that India has state of art nuclear reactors like fast breeder reactors and many more. You really opened my eyes but i do not know whether you exist or not because you have not seen your photo.

Why did Man Mohan Singh launch INS Arihant then?

There are a couple of members of who have the time to spend their days and nights here on this forum , compensating for their physical and mental shortcomings in real life.

I believe this False Flagger 'ashok321' is none other than the pakistani "Air Force crapper " of this forum whose madrassa-issued dictionary does not teach basic English grammer . And is often caught lying and subsequently btch-slapped by pakistanis, Chinese and especially Indians

I think we all know who I am referring to ........ ;-)
