    So, 3-4 SSBN of the Arihant class in the 6000 MT range displacement, and 10-12 SSGN of a larger class maybe in the 8000 MT range displacement. :shocked: Pretty impressive I must say! That would mean 12-16 SLIRBMs on deterrence petrol max. IMHO for effective deterrence there should be minimum...

    @Decklander ATV1-ATV4, all 4 Arihant Class would be dedicated SSBN with the 80Mw reactor? Follow on subs (Arihant follow-on Class, maybe ATV5 onwards) would be all SSN hunter-killers with the bigger 150Mw reactor or would they be a mix of SSN & SSBN?

    If SATS started last month, then it should be over by Aug. WATS will start only after that provided DRDO is ready with K-15. EoY 2013 looks promising for INS Arihant induction in IN, together with INS Aridhaman launch.
