First Pic of INS Arihant

[Adux]

That satellite imagery has been debunked in many a forums for nearly 2 years now. It is not the Arihant.

INS Arihant is 364' long. This one above is around 250' long. This vessel cannot be Arihant. I also tend to agree with Armand2REP. The picture below is probably photo-shopped by some fake-turd!
Sharp eyes, Armand2REP; just like a real КГБ agent.

off topic but i want to ask how can original dimension/length can be determined form original/any pics/image

Recognize from Picture!!

Identify the two subs in this map!! Its a map of Vizag dry dock..

Not off topic at all.

Size

The size of an object is one of the most distinguishing characteristics and one of the more important elements of interpretation. Most commonly, length, width and perimeter are measured. To be able to do this successfully, it is necessary to know the scale of the photo. Measuring the size of an unknown object allows the interpreter to rule out possible alternatives. It has proved to be helpful to measure the size of a few well-known objects to give a comparison to the unknown-object. For example, field dimensions of major sports like soccer, football, and baseball are standard throughout the world. If objects like this are visible in the image, it is possible to determine the size of the unknown object by simply comparing the two.

Re: Where is the submarine in question? Zooming in, 6,5,4.

We were searching for in the Red Circle while the Arihant was berthed snugly in the Green Circle all along...

Surely India wasn't making a nuke sub under open skies.

Is this Me or the SUB in front (white nose) is smaller when compared to the one behind (maroon Strip)

That ain't Arihant

 

[Dinesh_Kumar]

i did a quick "monkey measurement" with my fingers, and both Subs are same size, despite the angle of the pic which fools us to think one sub is bigger. Monkey measurement ki jai ! Yusuf is right, Arihant will be only be seen when the powers that be decide that we are ready. I havent even seen a scale model, which Naval HQ usually puts out for display. Only speculation that it looks like a smaller Russian SSBN, with a hump on its back.

[The Fox]

infact I used a scale to measure the length n the length I different

 

[lovehiba1]

The below photographs r kilo class subs..even d pic wid arihant banner is also a kilo class as u watch carefully it hass windshil on top..a nuclear sub is big nd it cant be docked so near..pic of arihant is available on google..search carefully

 

[Eastman]

possibly the first out of dockyard picture of Arihant

 

[tarunraju]

It is next to Port Main Rd. To the right of Andhra Petro Chem.

That's Vizag.

 

[Illusive]

Is it possible India is also developing an SSN, looking at the size its highly unlikely to be SSN let alone a SSBN though.

Hmmm...

@pmaitra @Kunal Biswas

Looks like the same one...

The only difference I think I can make out is the slight hump behind the conning tower ??

 

[Eastman]

Possibly India will ''join another elite club'' of One nation who have build a nuclear sumbarine before a conventional one

 

[arnabmit]

I think it's still there in the old pic, but not apparent due to camera angle.

lets wait some more time for a more revealing picture of the submarine
