Aridhman will have twice number of standard K4 missile tube while follow on submarine will have four times number of tubes considering current K4 loadout on Arihant boat.

Also, the Virginia class says hello.

This is and will remain the world's best SSN, especially as newer blocks come online - each featuring design differences such as the Virginia Payload Module and a new Horseshoe shaped sonar instead of the traditional spherical-water backed shape. Also, considering certain mechanical differences, such as engine design, as well as tactics and doctrine - patrol versus ambush attacks, Soryu quieting systems will not be as effective on an SSN as they are on an SSK. Why would Soryu's engine help an Indian SSN? How would its anechoic tiles perform on a fast moving patrol sub - like an ocean going SSN, versus an ambush hunter like an SSK? Too many unanswered questions needing to be answered first before making any grandiose claims about being the "most feared."
Let's hold off on the "most feared" moniker. Nothing a women hates more than premature excitement.
Two points, first can't jump to 180 mw in so much less time without compromising on overall aspect. Second 8 k4 slbm will be deployed on 2nd Arihant class sub onward.
Very first post of this thread is the source apart from the detail given in Wikipedia. If one remember correctly. It was finance ministry insistence which let to placing of double number of VLS units in the SUB. IN considered first four boats demonstrater only. So in 2008 P Chidambaram put his foot on this to make sure further boats get more teeth. Same happened in Kolkata class destroyer also if anybody would try to see through. Anyway it is one of most secret project in India and multiple sources are hard to come. Hope you understand. Thank you.
3414 km is the distance from bay of Bengal to Beijing , i checked it......
cool na????
Yes. That too thanks to P Chidambaram insistence for releasing the funds.
Even by that logic K15 isn't enough to cover all Pakistan theoretically. So we option there. Second point even a hundred km range missile armed with nuke bomb offers deterrence, forget about 3500 km range K4. More longer range, more standoff range one gets. China isn't at a stage where they can sweep even 2000 km away from the mainland fully with ASW forces. So we are opening new options which will keep Chinese engaged in finding loopholes in the system. It's like a cat and mouse game where no body wins in the end. Thank you.
