So I have been looking at what ships Navy has ordered already or currently building and how much tonnege will it add to navy. Here is what I found Submarine 2 more arihant class are building 7000*2 == 14000 tons. 3 S5 class SSBN == 13500*3== 40500tons. 6 SSN == 6000*6 == 36000 tons. 3 more...

We are going for massive naval buildup. Naval capital budget has doubled in just 4 yrs and growing faster than ever. Tonnege wise we are adding 3 SSBN 15K tonn each = 45k tons 5 fleet support 40k tonn each == 200k ton. Next vikrant class 50k So almost 3 lakh tonnes within 10-15 years...

Royal Navy is ahead of us in mostly auxiliary ships tonnege. We are adding 5 *40000 == 2lakh tons of fleet support ships. So we shall match them in this decade. Capabilities wise they have 6 SSN and 4 heavy SSBN. We are already building our own nuke subs. Elizabeth class with f35 will be...

Should be looking at navies by tonnege.

SSN are inherently superior to ssk. They are faster , have infinite range ( only limited by food) and have infinite endurance ( no need to surface frequently hence no detection). Japan only depends on ssk because they abhor anything nuclear and still they are trying to enhance endurance of...

And you think India China rivalry will be over in just one battle?? In just a decade?? Grow up.

I have been looking at their military and economy for much longer and deeper. Anyways to each his own

Likely!!! What kind of news in this?? Why even report without confirmation.

One of our enemy is bankrupt and can't even purchase flour and fuel forget about financing a full scale war. The other enemy has a population declining faster than anywhere else in absolute numbers. Will perhaps raise a dreaded army of old chinkies in adult diapers raiding over Himalayas 😂.

Sensible decision. They should abandon unobtanium p75i and order 6 more kalvari to continue production untill SSN start production then go only forward with SSN.

Just increasing budget to buy foreign imports only makes us even weaker against foreign Powers. This govt is judiciously putting money for indegenous projects. Lca mk2 , SSN , AMCA. These are the real sticks we will carry .

Am I ?? The land in contention among India and China is one of the most desolate place in the world. Lot's of Indian villages are empty at border because of migration. This has been reported in mainstream media too. This is despite Massive and growing population of India. So what happens to...

If we can't then you ought to wonder why are they not attacking us already?? Do they lack intelligence or perhaps they understand what they might face!!

There will be no such thing. While it is correct we have blundered in our military procurements our enemies have done even worse blunder over previous decades. Porkies have destroyed their economy while trying to maintain parity with India . Now they don't have money to even conduct regular...

Do not confuse birthing rights in peacetime with active war situations. It's one thing for Sri Lanka to host a chinese ship in peacetime and completely another to allows Lanka port to be used in active war against India that will invite an Indian attack on their port. Other then porkies no one...

We heard the same argument against aircraft carriers yet no one is stopping building to them and the size keeps on increasing too. Who knows what's tommorow holds. Battlefield is evolving too fast. All we can do is look at those trends and try to understand the logical rational behind them

Gotta look at the trend chinese have come up up with 13000 ton destroyer/ cruisers. American zumwalt was 15000 ton though design didn't work. Now japanes are mulling 20000 ton vessel. It won't be long before we too will have to look at much bigger ships with hundreds of vls.

Their old rich population doesn't want missile interception over its cities and hence push for sea based BMD.

Japanese are now planning two 20000 ton missile defence ship to take on chinese. Goes to show they are getting serious about China.
