Its a serious tense situation with China (something like Cuban missile crisis). Ballistic Missiles are kept standby for launch, fighters with nuclear weapons are ready to fly anytime. entire military is deployed for conventional war.
INS Arihant is also ready to launch all its missiles from its deployed position to major cities like Beijing, Shangai etc.
Politicians decide to go with first strike. Arihant Crew or Captain is aware that China had already launched invasion into arunachal and despite being warnings is not withdrawing back. But international pressure on China is relentless and talks are still going for ceasefire and withdraw.
Arihant gets order to fire all its missiles at designated targets, codes are also sent to Captain. As they prepare the missiles, they get another message and just then communications broke down, message is interuppted due to problem with the equipment and worse they are under attack from Chinese SSN, the escorting INS XYZ SSN destroys the PLAN Sub but Arihant captain knows they are being hunted by chinese warships and submarines and they might be spotted some or the other time.
Now what should he do?
wait for equipment to be repaired and risk getting spotted by PLAN
or
launch all their missiles
