Akula II is a 12,000 tonne class SSN and Arihant is a 6000 tonne class SSBN....I dont even see the slightest similarities in both the design...Perhaps they meant the propeller or something...

Remember the HDW 209 subs were built in Mazagon docks hence we already have built conventional subs.

it is 12 K 15 or 12 AGNI SLBM..not like u mentioned. Each missile tube dia is 2.4 M that can accomodate Agni III

Akula means Shark in Russian. And Ambassador means Nerpa as he must be aware of our media...

Nato name typhoon = russian name Akula (largest sub) Natoname Akula = russian name Shchuka( nerpa)

Well the Charlie class specifications and the ATV specifications are similar. But we dont know wether the Power is adequate. The Charlie class also has a 85 MW power plant.

No mate...those forum guys are crapping...The Scorpene is based on the first SSN design of France...That is why it can accommodate a reactor. If you have doubts you caneven read the brochure.

I would love to see a few Shkvals fired from our ATV...a Barrage of 4 Shkvals and the Chinese carrier becomes a submarine...

Its not about having a nuclear submarine. It is about having them operational. The Han class vessels have been mothballed and kept away by China for a long time...as the new jin class subs are coming the whole operational data must be regenerated and everything must be re-evaluated. This is the...

That is the ancient foxtrot class vessels....

I hope it enters sea trials soon. I would like to see the K-X be fired from Arihant ASAP...

Russians and French also have experience in making Diesel Electric subs but the Americans moved to nuclear power long back in 60s. We also intend in mixing up conventional and nuke subs. So the experience of French and Russians are more in the sub arena than the US. The french build smaller and...

I would rather choose the French and Russians ove the US any day. The French because their scorpenes can be mated with nuclear reactors.

I think our frigates can be called as destroyers. The size and firepower of our frigates are increasing by every order. 4k tonnes to 6k tonnes...wow...back to the topic...India is also planning an SSN I guess...seems the SSN will be the same size of the SSBN...just remove the ballistic missile...
