Not sure if you really understand what you are suggesting. Asking someone else to do the test for you won't reduce the international pressure on you. Instead, by doing that, you are not only to deal with your part of pressure but you are going to pay for the pressure that North Korea is going to...

So, you admit: it is not India design, right?

That is not a simple scaling down the hull! It is scaling down almost every component, from the reactor core to pipeline, etc. That means new materials, new sensors and new design.

Obviously, your own government doesn't think so. The help was so great that they need the ambassador to attend the ceremony to express their appreciation. So? India is doing all this by herself?

When you got Russian naval design team and their then ambassador attending the launch ceremony of Arihant in Jul 2009, you know how the answer.

Because our friend - Ayushraj has no idea what method will be required to improve missile accuracy. Unfortunately, even the most advanced inertial guidance system can't provide 200m level CEP, ICBM will need other tech assistance to reach that level. Basically, there are 3 key factors deciding...

Wow, that is a new theory. 1. If you talk about the thrust of rocket, no it doesn't affect the accuracy; 2. The thrust vectoring tech on the BUS? Every ICBM has it; 3. In the the critical stage that affect accuracy - re-entry, the re-entry vehicle doesn't have it. No, except India media, no one...

No, she hasn't. So far, India only got one Arihant in service, the Arighat is still just commissioned not in service yet. All tests of K-4 were launched from under-water platform instead of the submarine. So, the K-4 is not operationalized until today. For any country with less than 1000...

The simple fact is, Chinese tested their BMD missile in 2010 and Agni-5 tested in 2012 for first time. So, based on your logic, should I say: India decided to develop longer range and higher speed Agni-5 because she worried about Chinese BMD? Said by who? Oh, yes, Indians.

Chinese has been targeted by >120 world most advanced and deadly SLBM - trident ii d5 missiles for decades. Do you think they will lose their sleep because India's K series missiles?

The so called K-5/6s is still on the paper.

How can India understate the tonnage when you get so many foreign companies and government organizations involved. And for what? Understating couple of hundreds ton is meaningless. Over 1000 tones, that is really hard and waste of money to play that trick. People can easily figure it out by...

Please leave your ego out of this discussion. Every weapon system has been tested thoroughly by the highly skilled scientists and experienced military officers before entering service. But every weapon system has encountered kinds of issues in the operation, no matter it is Chinese, American...

Submarine is a complex weapon system, nuclear submarine is an even bigger challenge. As you point out most of its blocks/components are designed by experienced Russian scientists, but these people are used to design submarines for Russian navy, Russian tactics in Russia's ocean environment...

INS Arihant was the first ever nuclear submarine built by India, certainly there are lot of things that India navy and shipbuilding industry can learn from its operation. Naturally, they will use these experiences to improve the design and building of the following ships. So, 8 years is quite...

That depends the negotiation between India and Russia.

That is why I said - "With the same conditions". When we compare 2 different things, we have to put them in the same circumstance. Otherwise, it is meaningless. Yes, but SSN can go slower too. And oppose to what you believe, in most of time, SSN is sail at the same speed as the enemy's SSBN...

1. The Arihant class could hardly be called SSBN. 2. its technology is based on Russian Akula-class submarine. 3. It is hard to believe that Indian ship building industry can match the level of Russian in her first try.

Not necessarily right. 1. SSN is generally required to hunt the enemy's SSBN within the area well protected by enemy's anti-submarine force. 2. SSBN can sail with very low cruising speed, SSN however has to run at relatively higher speed for hunting. 3. SSBN is generally larger than SSN, which...

Really? Some of US navy experts didn't agree with you 10 years ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/hisutton/2019/11/24/latest-chinese-submarines-catching-up-with-us-navy/#569d6d70298c Quote:"Ten years ago the latest Chinese attack submarines were considered to be as quiet as the latest Russian...
