As we all know, currently India is the only country which despite not being a permanent UNSC member, is the only country other than USA, Russia, France, Britain and China that has a Nuclear Triad. Soon this achievement will be further advanced with the commissioning of INS Aridhaman, The 3rd Arihant Class Vessel and it’s updated version.

INS Aridhaman has achieved what none of it’s predecessors had, i.e 70% indigenous content.

This Submarine weighs around 7,000 Tons. It is powered by 83 MW pressurised water reactor from the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, this submarine can achieve speeds of 24 knots while submerged with reduced radar detection. With the contribution of various Companies like L&T and Tata Power, India has showcased it’s indigenous Sonars, Navigation and Fire Control sytems.

I think this is the way to go, combined with previous year approval to Construct two SSNs or Nuclear Attack Submarines for which around Rs 40,000 Cr were approved, this will seriously strengthen Indian Navy, In addition four more SSNs are planned.
