    Indian nuclear submarines

    Its still unclear if the program is going to be financed from the Navy's CAPEX allocation or by the PMO directly similar to the Arihant program. If its going to be financed from the Navy's CAPEX, which is highly unlikely, given the enormous costs of this program and Navy's other commitments, CCS...

    I think its still too early to tell, the Project 75A or 77 is a classified program with very little to no public information. You have to also take into consideration the long construction timelines associated with projects as complex as building SSN and SSBN. Currently, only SBC has the...

    It isn't reduced to 3 subs dammit, the new proposal is to build 3 nuclear attack subs in Phase-1 followed by another 3 which will get approval at a later date. The 3 follow-on subs will feature several technological improvements over the first 3 boats.

    They can be modified as a cruise missile carrier(SSGN), but that's about it. The 83MW reactor will not be enough to power a SSN with similar displacement as the INS Arihant which needs to make quick dashes in and out of the battlezone, chase down hostile SSBN and SSN, gather intel and get the...

    SSBNs are funed by the PMO, they have practically unlimited money

    Indian nuclear submarines

    Makes sense for the SSN construction to be in full swing since the approval of construction of these 6 SSN was given in Feb 2015. Also, the original ATV programme was conceived to build a fleet of SSN and was changed into building a fleet of SSBN after the Pokhran nuclear tests, so the plans and...

    Guys, I wanted a clarification, as you all know, INS Chakra(K-152) has been returned to Russia. So is it a temporary return where a Russian shipyard to rectify all the issues plauging the boat or a permanent return where the sub will be repaired and put into active Russian Navy service. It does...

    Unlikely, its far too small for our needs and the Indian Navy will basically have to once again undergo the training process. On the other hand, it is likely that Indian Navy will lease one additional Akula class SSN for a total of 2 SSN on lease till P75A subs are delivered

    I had a question regarding Brazilian SSN programme, the lead boat of the class is to be outfitted with a 48MW PWR on a sub displacing 6000 tons. Isn't that a bit underpowered since the French Rubis class which weigh only 2500tons are powered by the same reactor

    Members of the other defense forum, Strategic Front say that development of CLWR-B2, a 190MW reactor is complete as per documents released by BARC and that they are currently underway with the fabrication process
