Not true. One our program didnt start when we had the Charlie class with us. It was a SSN not to mention diving planes is a dead give away

There are multiple news items available, if anything the usual Indian modus operandi has been to deliberately reduce the range for public consumption. Good Example is Agni series. check out the warhead weight.

Shaurya's range with payload is 700 Km, the Agni SLBM is supposedly 3500 KM with a 2000kg warhead.

If we are lobbing nukes at China? Do you think we would care, would China?

Oh NO it cant be, It is the SHANG CLASS Type 093 http://www.china-defense-mashup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/navy9.jpg Look it got dive planes on the sail, it has those long slits on the hull with retrofitted Ballistic Cells! Also it is 110m long 11m wide

Oh my Lord in Heaven, Strike Now, Strike Now with Thunder and Lightening and Save us from this Idiot.

Oh Wow! Brilliant Chicom analysis, It has Dive Planes on its sail, Oh yes it is the retired Yankee Class. Son, Quiet Down and Learn.

But TS Subramanium, India's premier Defence Journalist specifically quotes 80MWe, and also come to think of it, this is an SSBN, as long as it can achieve a credible Silent speed it is ok, We dont need 40knots for a SSBN

That is one fat bitch

So I have been correct on two things, Design is a new one, and does not have any Existing Submarine influence, and reactor produces 190Mwt

Why should they? As you know the Government will not back down on the name, Heck it is ill-luck according to naval traditions

My point is he used NATO name instead of the Russian name PS: Thanks for the info

So I was right after all about the Nuclear Reactor, According to the Russian Ambassador it is a modified Russian SSN, ie with a VLS tubes for BM's.

Like it or not, The Schuka is more famously known around the world by the NATO givenname Akula, Dont blame the Russian Ambassador calling it by the NATO name for our benefit.

You'r data's are wrong. Schuka-B SSN Displacement :12000(NATO:Akula-2) and Akula SSBN:Displacement: 24,000(NATO:Tyhoon)

Prada, There is huge time of more than a decade 1985-1998, During which we were trying to build our own Nuke Reactor at the said 85MW whatever reactor, now a decade after 1998-2009, and with DIRECT Russian help, if we still think we were doing the same reactor as the initial period of...

I am off the firm belief, considering the time lines, it is a Russian 190Mwt powerplant which is the same as in a Akula -2

Prasun Sengupta can go suck an egg for all I care. Idiot.

You are forgetting it is a steam engine that propels a Nuke Sub. You dont know that number, all we know it is going to be a higher number than a SSN. Look at the Thermal Efficieny, That sub will be a tech prototype and nothing else, if this above was the case, then what was the need of...
