Apologies accepted Didact !!! Who ever Indian for ever is
looks like he got banned .
Anyways people are missing a point on Arihant here the displacofement 6000T is not submerged displacement for example Akula ssn is 12000T submerged but it's actual displacement is 8000T only . So S3 S4 S4* will be utilised to its full potential . And S4* is a surprise for me . Never knew we had 4 SSBN Bro .
It's a Master Stroke by this Modi-fied strategic planning . Man I must saw this will propel India into a multi dimension force . Border mischievous has to be done with caution because looks like new defensive against our neighbours is to go offensive . THAT SUMS it all.
So here is our fleet . If my speculation is true . We will go for 3/4 more Scorpenes by next two years . And as I belive P75I won't just stop with just 6 SSK . Because as of now our Mod planning to have 2 private shipyards toped in for initial 6 P75I along with PSU. 1+1+4 . 4 for our experienced PSU . Since 1 submarine is mere waste of money to invest in these private shipyards needs another 3+3 as follow on just to stay away from loss . In fact recent reports suggest that private players not happy with dividing 6 sub orders . Sighting of loss due to large investment needed to create a supply line to produce world's most advances stealth submarines . And there for 4 each for 3 shipyards will reduce the time as well . HUGE TWIST will be if Japanese sell their SORYU SSK . Producing 12 or even 6 will keep Chinese PLAN out of IOR for the next 20 years at least . But bits more unlikely . As Japanese are using this submarine as there super weapon against Large PLAN as a power packed surprised package . Even Australians are begging for this Submarines for very long time now. If Big 3 India Japan Australia operate SORYU ...... Well end of Bullying in SCS & IOR.
So IN will operate 12 nuclear submarines + 6 ( or +3/4) deadly Scorpenes + 6 bigger SSK ( may be 6 more as I mentioned) + 14 old and upgraded submarines of Russians and Germany . 24 new submarines planned and cleared for in
TIME TO PUT THINGS IN PLACE !!! TIME TO RAISE .
