Waht can I say?
Chinese engineers and scientists 40 plus hard working is not a patch on Indian big mouth.

I am not GSLV...I am GSLV Mk3

As always damned Indian communists are here to lick the boots of their Chinese masters
On Topic-How can we say Indian SSN/SSBNs are Superior to Chinese ones?
We doesnt even have much of specs of Arihant or K-4/K-5....
This thread is a retarded one.
Chinese are decade ahead of us as of know .
Their nuke subs are more matured than us but not as superior as considered to western or russian ones.
So to have successfull nuke sub program , we have to match the western subs in technology which sure will take decades.
But if we are going to make chinese subs as a benchmark , we are not going to reach anywhere.
OP Please! Arihant is not even seaworthy and will probably take another half decade before it is anywhere near operational preparedness!
Diesel-electric subs are always inherently quieter than nuclear ones. Thats a universal fact.
You've figured it the other way round, genius.

Ariahnt is based on Akula Class SSN so much so that many in international defense circle thought that India is focussing on SSN rather than SSBN. It's noise levels are in the range of Akula class.
And arihant has already completed her sea trials.. the reason active patrols of arihant is not mentioned is because the first one was always supposed to be a TD and used for training.. Ofcourse we are building the follow ons now !!
Didn't you see that AIP part?
I don't think Arihant is superior to Chinese SSBNs
its our first SSBN while latest Chinese SSBNs are complex, mature platforms and can launch JL 2 SLBM with 7,400 KM range
This was an extremely secret project to begin with. India started everything late from missiles to subs. China was launching ICBMs in late 1960s while India wanted to be welfare state thanks to Nehru. Fortunately 1962 and Chinese nuclear explosion was loud enough to wake up lazy *** Indians up. The gap was already huge in 1960s.
Now I don't know how China did it in 1980s, maybe China was lucky to have some western trained submarine designers or maybe designs were obtained from somewhere. India on the other hand sent 80+ engineers all over the world to study submarine designs while Charlie class was explored and used to train our people. Those people came back and designed our submarine. Now India is wide and clear about its ssbn/ssn plans.
5 Nuclear subs are reported to be under cons right now in India. 3 being Arihanth and 2 being bigger in size or speculated to be the follow on class whose cons was approved in 2008.

There are 4 (not 3) Arihants in construction (1 completed, 2nd one fitting out, and 3rd
and 4th ones undergoing hull fabrication by L&T) And there are 3 (with option for 3 more)
Avinash-class SSBNs in early stages of works right now. Total 7 SSBNs.
Its likely that after the 3 (or 6) Avinash-class subs are ready, IN may consider converting
all Arihants to SSGNs carrying 1,200-km ranged sub-launched version of Nirbhay or
LRCM cruise missiles.
The leasing of a 2nd Akula-II SSN (with option for buying at end of lease term, just like
the first one) is being seriously considered by IN top brass.
