'India's secret N-submarine project nearing completion'

Asim Aquil see ms to be contradicting his own statements
1. We are entering arms race and pakistan needs Nuclear Subs.
2. All projects of DRDO are duds.

Either you accept your own satement that all DRDO proejcts are duds, So there is no need for arms race as this Sub will not work as per you, hence no need for pakistan to go for nuclear subs.

Pakistani people always adopt two standards. It's better to develop their own nations than wishing that other nation's should go to hell.
 
Either way, it does not make much difference from Pakistan POW.....If we strike first then India is huge they will be able to strike back..if we strike after 1st nuclear strike on us India will still have land to strike again..so in reality it is better for India vis-vis China.

Anyway, recently many articles revealed that India pose more threat from China then Pakistan. India don't consider that Pakistan will want to have one more war (Although Kashmir issue still to be solved). So as of now focus has been shifted from Pak to Neutral, neutral to China.

Nuclear submarine INS Arihant launched - TIMESNOW.tv - Latest Breaking News, Big News Stories, News Videos

The Prime Minister flew to Vishakapatnam this morning by the IAF's newly acquired Boeing business jet and reached the venue of the submarine launch by road. Sea trials of the submarine will be conducted in the Bay of Bengal off Vishakapatnam, where the vessel was under construction for the last two decades. The Rs 30,000-crore secret nuclear submarine project was started in the 1980s though it was conceived by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the 1970s.

The first official admission of the project nearing completion came this February when Antony had announced it during the AeroIndia show in Bangalore.

INS Arihant can also be armed with cruise missiles. The DRDO is already working on an equally secretive Sagarika project for a 700-km K-15 missile, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. With US, Russia and China already fielding 5,000-km range SLBMs, the DRDO too has recently tested an SLBM based on the design of 3,500-km range Agni-III.

The induction of ATV will help India to complete the nuclear weapons triad, as envisaged under its nuclear doctrine to deliver nuke-tipped missiles from land, air and sea. India has land-based nuclear-capable Agni ballistic missiles, apart from IAF fighters such as Mirage-2000 that can deliver tactical nukes.

Two decades ago, India had operated a Charlie-class nuclear submarine, christened INS Chakra, leased from Russia for three years between 1989 and 1991. Moscow will again lease out two Akula-class nuclear submarines to New Delhi for 10 years. Plans to deliver the submarines this June were hit by a mishap during sea trials late last year. But hopes have soared for its delivery in 2010 after Russia took out the repaired vessel for sea trials again early this month.
 
Why everyone is calling it indigenous if Indians got Russian help? :crazy:
 
Many things , many peoples are saying,
my concern is only this, what we will do now, or should do now ?
Mughaljee,
Nothing. The Indian SSBN project is not Pakistan centric. You don't require a multimillion nuke boat to strike at a target that that has very low/ negligible strategic depth and lying at a stone throw. You also need to understand that the Indian peninsula will act as a virtual acircraft carrier that is HUGE and VERY CLOSE.

Pleace.

Description of the Arihant by Telegraph journalist.


India’s nuclear sub: There she lies like a supine beast, hidden from satellite eyes

The hump, one officer says, will open a hatch to fire missiles vertically. There may be four tubes underneath, each capable of holding three nuclear-tipped SLBMs( 350 to 700km range) — submarine-launched ballistic missiles.


But the length is within grasp. From the tip of its tail to its snub-nosed bow, the Arihant is 112 metres, longer by far than any of the submarines in the Indian Naval fleet. At its widest, it is 11 metres in diameter.The size of the SSBN — the ship submersible ballistic nuclear missile — that the Arihant is, registers first-up.

Russia’s ambassador to India and Russian technologists associated with India’s nuclear submarine programme are present here. Their contribution is richly acknowledged.

“We never had a nuclear submarine, and we needed design consultancy from them,” Vice Admiral Kannan says. The Arihant has about 40 per cent indigenous content. The next two submarines of the same class that are planned are likely to have more.


“This is a double-hull. What you see is the outer hull through which the water will go in and help take the sub down,” says Rao. That’s common to all submarines. The inner, pressurised hull, is another cocoon. He is talking of a cocoon within a cocoon.

At the snub-nose in the bow, on the waterline right now because the submarine is still on the surface, is a sheet of white metal that contrasts with the blackness of the rest of the hull. They are the sonar sheets of the Arihant.

Below it, on either side and under the water, are three or four tubes angled upwards. They are the torpedo barrels. The missiles with nuclear warheads won’t come out of here. The Arihant may not even have to use this in a conflict. It is a strategic weapons platform, expected to be escorted by the hunter-killer-attack submarines.

The nuclear-tipped missiles that will go into its silos are being tried and tested on land. First, it is likely to be armed with the K-15, that have a range of 750km, and subsequently, a more developed missile, at best called the “K-X” now, that is being designed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation and Bharat Dynamics to have a range of at least 1,500km. Even that is not “strategic”.

The Indian Navy is operating under the belief that it has to compete with the Chinese and must be capable of launching a missile from a submarine with a nuclear warhead that is capable of hitting the target from at least 3,500km.

Inside the ship-building yard, the Arihant glides to a stop. The water hardly ripples. Captain Dutt on the conning tower is speaking into a walkie-talkie. The vessel will have a crew of more than 90 but less than 100.

The idea behind a nuke sub is to stay quiet and undetected undersea for weeks, possibly months. The Advance Technology Vessel project was “officially” begun in 1984 — 25 years ago. The crew will have less, far less, a time to prepare.

Ten years after Kargil, war keeps getting more onerous.

Does the Indian sub... work?

So far everything India has made, Agnis, Nags, Nagins, Trishul, LCA, Arjun... all didn't work. Only time will tell how well does this work and if the Navy even orders more of these.

Who made this? DRDO?

Asim Bhai remember i think Indian sub is a death machine under water remember how many people died when it was under trial, i think it has already failed.

For you information, Russia has lost many of its personal under the submarine.

If your reasons are valid, this thread don't need to be their as it has not threat to your site.

Oh ****, such vital piece of intelligence- why don't you please tell it to the pak navy that is complaining of an arms race because of it, I'm sure they'll be able to sleep at nite and stop peeing if you tell them about this absolutely brilliant discovery of yours mate.

Let them sleep for next 2 years till world comes to know about INS Arihant. No one released how destructive will be nuclear weapon until tested on Japan. :coffee:
 
I think at the end of the year India got Ist nuk sub. from russia.... and after 2-3 yr india will get his Ist own built nuk sub..... then the wheel started for 5-6 Arihant type of nuk... so atleast india get 2020 5-6 nuk sub.

And till 2020, India will have plans of manufacturing 100 submarines (most of them to be exported to small countries)
