Six new nuclear attack submarines

[PoKeMon]

But 6 SSBNs seems like an overkill.

Considering 4 SLBM with 6 K range each, 24 nuke ready missiles are not an overkill.

It is not over kill they are needed, to make sure no one dare to attack Indian interests !

For the naysayers , INS Arihant in sea trials ,

I dont think it's overkill. Personally, 3SSBN for China and 1 for pakistan while rest 2 are in service. (cycle continues ?)

Count conventional + nuclear a close to 25 submarines? That's just not gonna happen.

But 6 SSBNs seems like an overkill.

3 will be on patrol at any given point of time. 2 will be in port undergoing maintenance. 1 will be standby. This will be peace time deployment.

Pakistan will have earlier then 15 years

I guess it's the Navy's doctrine drawn out from the threat perception, operational requirement. .three huge seas to monitor, 7000+ km coast line, thousands of islands..even 25 is a small number and most likely is bare minimum.

We would need a 18 submarine fleet (mixture of Conventional and Nuke) for our western fleet. So that they are all alone capable to take on Pakistan Navy.

And another 24 for eastern fleet to take care of Andamans, Indian Ocean , Chinese in Indian ocean and some visits to our friends in SCS.

You dont even have one, while have operated one in the 80s... Not to mention the one which we are operating now: INS Chakra

I dont see why not. Indians just dream big and do nothing.....every single of their projects are failures.

Modernization project of the Indian Navy:

We cant have 6SSBN +6SSN+6 75I at the same time . The question is which we are going to cancel. We dont have that much money. Remember rafale deal . All these projects cant run simultaneously

With six new nuclear attack submarines, India officially opens up on its undersea aspirations | idrw.org

4 SSBN's (Arihant Class) & 6 SSN's - That's what the Cabinet committee on security (CCS) has approved till date - rest are still being planned like those 10,000 tonne SSBN's - no approval from the government yet.

There are sources which say India will build 5 SSBNs, first 3 Arihant Class and rest 2 will be bigger.

It will we done over next 10-20 years where we would have enough money to fund them. We must also increase the rate in which more submarines to be inducted.

The Russian Made Kilo Class Subs would be retiring by next 20 years .
