All information about Indian nuclear submarines are fake to confuse enemies and GOI, defence ministry, DRDO, and all people involved have done a very commendable job. Not even mighty US know what exactly is the status of our nuclear submarines and weapons. This is the top requirement for effective deterrence. Good to see India has achieved it.
Only fanboys will think so. India is heavily relying on French/Russian for her submarine and nuclear re-actor technologies. There are still quite a lot key parts of nuclear/conventional submarine are imported from both countries. When these 2 countries know, basically all your enemies and potential enemies know exactly which level you are.
None gives nuclear reactor technology to India. Most parts are indigenous with minor import for generic goods. So, it is possible to hide
Kshitij, you are wrong here...
For conventional Scorpene French help has been sought, so not related to INS Arihant class for which Russian help was taken here too Reactor is Indian and Russian help was sought for integration and propulsion, here too Russia and India both play vital roles in hiding their assets by operating similar subs which confuses enemies whether it's Russian or Indian sub..................
You know, reactor is not the only thing that nuclear submarine have, there are a lot of other sub-systems inside which are shared or similar to conventional submarine. According to the paper in the below, there were only 30% of components can be made in India locally in 2017. Where do you think India gets that 70%?
Russia will do her best to hide her own secret buts in terms of India's, don't bet on it.
Lcafanvboy ji how much time does it take to build 1 arihant(8 silo) class sumbarine.
Should not be more than 5 years, If we have 2 berths then expect 2 every 5 years so 2.5 years/sub...... Now if you calculate from 2009 it is 8&1/2 years we have 3 in water with 4th in pipeline expected to be in water by early 2019.... 10 years 4 subs..............
Then what is INS Arihant?...............
it's a ballistic submarine
INS Arihant is basically SSN converted into SSBN Basically an Indian Jugaad. So it is actually a multi role Submarine. When Actual SSBNs INS Avinash class with 16 silos will start coming out INS Arihant will be converted into SSN................
I agree with this assessment and I think the silos will be converted to Brahmos.
Bhramos + Nirbhay .............................................................................
70 percent Indian made and 30 percent imported from Russia. That's why it's a tech D and INS Arighat or Aridhaman is the real deal which will have more Indian components.
