PM Modi’s INS Arihant Message Today Was For Pakistan, Not China

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Armed with up to a dozen nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, India’s INS Arihant is said to have completed its first nuclear deterrent patrol last week in the Indian Ocean. Making the announcement today, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the patrol as a ‘fitting message’ to those who indulge in ‘nuclear blackmail’. India’s first nuclear ballistic missile submarine Arihant entered service with the country’s nuclear command in August 2016.

While Modi’s words today have been interpreted to be pointed at China and Pakistan, the Arihant’s weapon load suggests the deterrent patrol completed last week could only really have been pointed at Pakistan. The reason: the Arihant currently sails with the 750 km range K-15 (officially codenamed B05) ballistic missile. The missiles began field tests from the Bay of Bengal in early 2013:

The Arihant’s true strategic strength will come from the far more capable K4 ballistic missile, still under test, which will sport a range in excess of 3,500 km. It is the K4 that puts several parts of China within Arihant’s nuclear reach. The ‘K’ in both missiles was chosen to honour former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam, a pioneering rocket scientist. The K family of missiles was first revealed in 2010 by journalist Sandeep Unnithan in INDIA TODAY magazine.

In 2010, Livefist scooped the first official photograph of INS Arihant at the Shipbuilding Centre in Visakhapatnam. Over the years, more images of the submarine have emerged from harbour and sea trials:

The Arihant is the first of a slew of nuclear submarines planned as part of an elaborate phased program. Livefist documented the plan in detail here.

LOL you don't scare us with these toys anymore. We have them too and if we don't we will get them. The Indians should know that by now.

It is funny Indians should scream nuclear blackmail when they are chest-thumping with nuclear tipped submarines.

Any report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute on these developments or are the hypocritical lectures only reserved for Pakistan?

Habitual of Indians to box above their weight as soon as they test something.
Just remember to close the hatch before opening your curry hole.

First of All Babur 3 is not yet operational and Pakistan has not carried out any detterent patrol with Subs armed with Babur.

Secondly Indian has 12 submarines capable of carrying cruise missiles.

Most importantly nuclear cruise missile are regarded as far more inferior for second strike compared to SLBMs. Which is why all major powers use SLBMs.

Big deal hot shot, how many times say have the Chinese subs been running circles around you, did you hear any nonsense from them but you creatures often crawl out of your skin.
