Yeah but this was a plan even then. I remember- 2 Arihant class subs and then 4 larger (9000 T) subs as ballistic detterents. Nav chief is claiming 6 SSNs are coming? Not Ballistic deterrents?
My guess is, SSBNs will have a separate production lineup. SSNs are a new addition to the portfolio. My guts says, after these initial 4 SSBNs, there might be a possibility of even larger SSBN capable of carrying 15-20 ICBMs.
or buy 6 nuc subs from russia?
Wouldn't that be even worse for you guys?
