After reading more about Arihant. The equivalent of US version of Arihand is USS Halibut built in 1959.. India is about 50 years behind the US in submarine technology .
Firstly,
You should Read Even More and Be Very Sure of your Info...Before Saying Something about a Machine that is Yet Behind the Doors and Mere speculations are made for the same ( That Applies to the "Sources where you read" more and more about Arihant.. regarding its Desgn, Weapons etc. )
YOU NEED TO IMPROVE ON DEDUCTION AND READING SKILLs .. Let me tell You WHY ..
#1. Indian Agencies Have NOT made any Public Announcement about the specs of the Boat , We dont know the reactor specs, the sonar specs, etc. etc.
If i say JXX is 50 Years behind PAKFA .... a sound Mind will certinaly Say... "You Need the Specs of Both Machines in Hand to Make a Suitable Comparision. How can You say JXX is 100 Years or 1000 Years Behind when u downt even know about the specs of a single bolt of that machine ! "
How Can u Compare Arihant to Ohio or Any Subamrine Class when u Know NOTING about it ?
#2. More Over, You Missed To Read THIS ::
July 31, 2009, (Sawf News) - Outgoing Russian ambassador, Vyacheslav Trubnikov, says India's recently launched nuclear powered submarine – INS Arihant – is an Akula class submarine.
In an interview published in the Business Standard Trubinikov is quoted as saying:
"I watched the launch of India's first nuclear submarine at Vishakapatnam on July 26, and do you know about the design of this submarine? It is the Akula."
"So where was the Indian submarine designed and built?" he was asked.
"Here in India!" he responded.
Past analysis - based on the dimensions (112 m length, 10 m beam), displacement (6,000 tons) and reactor output (85 MWe) of Arihant – have led analysts to report that it is based on the Charlie II submarine that India leased from 1988-91.
Name: Akula
Operators: Soviet Navy Ensign Soviet Navy
Russian Navy Ensign Russian Navy
Preceded by: Sierra class
Succeeded by: Graney class, Severodvinsk Class (in development)
In service: 1986
So Mate, If Its an Akula its The Most Sophisticated SSN , In Operation Since 1985 , Outside US on Par with the Los Angeles Class.
You Will Agree that a Russian Ambassador Knows Far More Than You and Me about India and Her Relations, Which have Led to the Succes of Arihant.
This Also Breaks Your Myth That Arihant is 50 Years Behind in Technology.
Infact if Indeed it is the Akula, on contrary to your statement it might turn out to be BETTER than Chinese Subs in Its Class ! ; Ofcourse It will be PreMature to make any similar Conclusions until we get confirmed specs of the Boat.
Secondly,
As You Just Stated..
15-20 years behind the US. 15 years ago, the US had started inducting Ohio class subs. Are you saying that arihant is equivalent of an earlier Ohio class nuclear subs.
You Must be knowing... The Equivalent of SSBN Ohio Class Subs.... Russia Has the Borei and the Typhoon Class...
Just Like MKI is the F22 Raptor in South Asian Skies, YES, The INS Arihant is Equal to Ohio Class Sub in Asia.
Do Make a NOTE that Arihant is SSBN Not an SSN, which means No need to use the "Counter" ... This Sub DOES NOT HAVE TO FACE ANOTHER SUB .. ITs Role is to Be Hidden and Deliver NUkes.
The Sub will stay Dormant.. Silently and If ordered will Atack with the 3500 KM Range SLBM Agni III or the 1500 KM ( 500 Kg Payload ), Shaurya Quazi Ballistic Missile.
Since China/Pakistan Have No Typhoon , Arihant Doesnt Need to be Ohio.
