IDN TAKE: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF INS ARIHANT

[Zarvan]

With INS Arihant, India Can Now Launch Nuclear Missiles From Air, Land, And Sea.

Recently, with the commissioning of INS Arihant, India joined an elite of group of nations that have the capability to launch nuclear tipped weapons from Air, Land, and sea – reports said. India’s first indigenously built nuclear submarine was reportedly commissioned in secrecy by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August this year after it was declared ready for sea trails in February.

Ship Submersible Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) or SSBN's are those class of submarines which can lurk deep beneath the ocean making them virtually undetectable for months, they also carry nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. INS Arihant provides India with a second strike capability, or the capability to strike back after a nuclear attack from either Pakistan or China. It is noteworthy that Pakistan has a “first strike” policy, by which it can attack any country with its nuclear arsenal first, if necessary.

Besides INS Arihant, two other such subs are also being constructed, The Times of India reported. The construction of these began under the ATV (Advanced Technology Vessel) program launched “decades ago”. INS Aridhaman, the next of these naval vessels, is likely to be completed by 2018.

INS Arihant is powered by an 83 MW pressurized light water nuclear reactor. It will be armed with the K-15 Sagarika missiles with a range of 750 km. Later, the submarine will also be armed with the much longer range K-4 missiles, capable of striking targets at a distance of up to 3,500 km. The missiles are being developed by DRDO. India’s land-based Agni missiles and fighter-bombers have been able to launch nuclear missiles for some years now. Indian scientists must strive to make INS Arihant an operational SSB

A Resounding Message

Ties between India and Pakistan have nose-dived since the September 18 attack on an Indian Army base in the Uri sector. At Uri, the Pakistanis went a step too far. The accustomed routine of braggadocio, denial and threat followed the deaths of 19 Indian soldiers.
The time for talking and preaching had run aground. Prime Minister Modi prepared the ground for India’s eventual response with meticulous care. The time for action as a weapon of last resort had clearly arrived. The PM took counsel with his closest aides; he consulted the Army Chief and provided him with his brief. In the early hours of September 29, Indian Special Forces under the cover of darkness slipped deep across the Line of Control in Kashmir and took out eight terrorist bases in a superbly orchestrated operation without the loss of a single Indian life. The intelligence details given them were clinical and precise, it is also significant because for the first time the special operation forces used real-time visual feed from India's spy birds in space to carry out the strikes. The effect was devastating, the message resoundingly clear.

The Asian Voice editorial wrote, "Indian resolve and Indian power will have their own salutary effect on friends and foes alike. The image of a shambling giant unsure of itself, incessantly appealing to others for counsel will now be revised. India has served notice that there are limits to her forbearance. This includes the leaders of the separatist Kashmiri Hurriyat whose arrogance, hopefully for their sakes, will be tempered with a measure of realism and modesty. Those who value Indian friendship and have done so steadfastly in the past will invest added value to the relationship."

For the people of India, the lesson in resolute statecraft will have left an abiding impression. Prime Minister Modi, who took the final call deserves high praise for his courage and perspicacity; the Army and intelligence services are owed a deep debt of gratitude. Indian unity in diversity has passed a crucial test.

Additionally, INS Arihant adds another significant dimension and clout to India's ambitions to keep its two nuclear-powered adversaries at bay principally because the SSBN provides India the much needed second strike capability.

@Zarvan

Why are you posting indian propaganda over here.

No mate, it's completely indigenous. Design based upon Russian Akula-class submarines.

And FYI, Scorpene Submarine data leak actually happened at the hands of the French firm DCNS. Better they learn from their mistakes.

Based on Akula Class or Delta Class? I think from its design its based on Delta Class .

 

[Skull and Bones]

I thought Aridhaman is ready for sea trials.

Yes the effects were so devastating that Indian check post lit up like a Christmas tree and despite the huge so called spy birds available to Indian special forces, not one video or pic is there to back up the claims. Bravo. Sahi chutia banya hua ha Modi sarkar or Indian media na apni awaam ko.

well you claims to have TNW in nasar , you havr any pic/ video of TNW installed in nassar to backup yours claims?

do claim to have nuclear bombs, do you have any pic of your bombs to backup your claims? what if you bought 5 from china ready made n u ended those...

US also do not release its OBL oic/ video etc

 

[Ultima Thule]

Is there any Hanuman sub in making?

Just asking...

Don't insult their religion sir and respect others religions

 

[Green Ranger]

But can it be detected ??

 

[Skull and Bones]

But can it be detected ??

All subs can be detected. But this sub is made to operate far from enemy shores and ships.

 

[Snakebite]

But can it be detected ??

All subs can be detected but Nuclear subs are more noisy as compared to Diesel subs.

 

[Arsalan]

@ISI. @Robinhood Pandey @Skull and Bones
REFRAIN from posting flaming posts about religion and stop directing insults at others religions. ALL OF YOU.

Next time i wont stop at merely reporting and deleting the posts.

All others, when you see such posts, rather then quoting them and replying them, even with a sensible post like you did @ pakistanipower JUST REPORT THEM please. When you quote a troll post you make the job of MODs as the filth of the original troll post remain in you post and thus that too have to be handled. I hope you will understand.

All subs can be detected but Nuclear subs are more noisy as compared to Diesel subs.

I'm afraid it's the other way round. The diesel subs seem to be more quite while on battery as compared to Nuclear subs I guess. But while on power generators they make more noise it seems.

Moreover Nuclear subs can remain underwater for a pretty long time without surfacing unlike it's diesel counterparts.
