Proof?

I doubt it's true. Deterrence patrol means active nuclear warheads. I don't see those being tested anywhere.

Please also say a silent prayer and thank those brave sons of country who man this magnificent boat.
Also let us not forget those faceless and silent nuclear engineers, scientists and ship builders who persevered for decades amidst sanctions and denial, to bring us this moment of great pride and honor.
To modify lines of USAF General:
If Arihant doesn't have to fire a single missile ever in retaliation, its very purpose would be met.

This would be suitable for Indian Navy

The official news. I thought in 2016 the actual 'deterrence patrol' was being undertaken

Navy confirms that both K-4 & K-15 were fired during the patrol which lasted nearly 3 months.

Second country in Asia to deploy nukes onboard Submarines.

Incorrect. No nukes were tested. And K-15s? Are they even being used now? LOL

@TACDE_IAF The actual deterrence patrol was carried out back in Nov 2016, when the Arabian Sea was tested by INS Arihant!

Proof?

Really? A nuclear test?

Next in line is Arihant-S. Waiting to be launched soon for sea trial.

Already undergoing. Reportedly 12 VLS tubes

In 5 years we have not sunk it yet. So, a great going? It has been carrying out patrols for the better part of 02 years already.
