Sir ji, I am saying the same, will Nirbhay fit the same tubes like K15. K15 are fitting 3 in each tube in vertical launch configuration.. So i am asking is Nirbhay also similarly able to fit 3 in nos in each tube in the same configuration.
IF not, will it be fired from torpedo tubes same like popeye turbo in Dolphin II operated by Israel and made by France..
Nirbhay is just 0.52m in diameter with 6m length. implying its sleeker than K15
Look at the last figure, with diameter of 0.66m (bottom right 4th quadrant), 6+1(center) or even worst case scenario 6 missiles of diameter 0.66 m can be fitted in a single tube vs K15 diameter of 0.93m type 3 in nos (as shown in top left 1st quadrant)
Btw also it can be configured to fire from 533mm tube as its diameter is just 0.52m whichh Arihant is suppose to have 6 in numbers (6x533mm torpedo tubes)
i say each Arihant will carry
Tube Vertical config - 6-7 Nirbhays in each tube based on above diagram
Tube torpedo - Any number based on reload perhaps 6 SLCMs in single salvo mode before full reloads..
@Abingdonboy @Capt.Popeye @kurup @MilSpec @SpArK @AUSTERLITZ Can you help explain..
Arihant armament
Arihant will be capable of carrying all types of missiles and will have underwater ballistic missile launch capability. It will carry 12 K-15 SLBMs that can be launched even under ice caps.
Tested in 2008, the K-15 missiles are 10.4m long and have a diameter of 1m. The 6.3t missiles can carry a 5t nuclear warhead targeted 750km away. The K-15 missiles, however, will be replaced later by the 3,500km range K-X missiles.
Apart from the K-15s, the submarine will carry a range of anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles and torpedoes.
The 6.3t missiles can carry a 5t nuclear warhead targeted 750km away
Which Indian missile is capable of 5 ton (weight) carrying warhead?
indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile Agni-5 is capable of striking a range more than 5000 km. It is about 17 meters long, 2 metres wide and has a launch weight of around 50 tonnes. The missile can carry a nuclear warhead of more than one tonne.
So what is this?

I think it will carry 17kt yield nuclear warhead weighting 180 kg.The 6.3t missiles can carry a 5t nuclear warhead targeted 750km away
