India’s first nuclear armed submarine-INS Arihant- is all set for full-fledged operations and is awaiting a formal induction in the fleet.
INS Arihant , which is the first of five nuke submarines, has passed all weapon launch and deep sea diving tests.
INS Arihant is equipped with K 15 (or BO-5) short range missiles with a range of over 700 km and the K 4 ballistic missile with a range of 3,500 km.
As per an ET report, experts were satisfied over the tests and said technically the submarine could be commissioned at any time.
Now, two more INS Arihant type submarines are in the making at the Ship Building Center (SBC) in Vishakhapatnam.
The Indian navy is also speeding up work on INS Varsha , which is a strategic naval base with underground pens on the Eastern Coast near Kakinada - where the nuclear assets would be based.
The Indian navy wants to build at least six SSNs in India that could cost more than Rs 90,000 crore.
