Nice, but these would remain in the category of 'fancy toys' as NO Indian politician has the balls to give the green light to make use of them in case of another Mumbai type attack. Period!

 

[Varunastra]

No its Akula II

India Nuclear TRIAD is ready AFTER Nerpa (Akula class nuke Sub) arrives

TOI is full of crap. Nerpa is a SSN, it can't fire a ballistic missile. Nuclear triad will complete with the induction of Arihant...

Akula class nuke subs (remamed nerpa in india)

This K152 Nerpa is called INS Chakra with the Indian Navy and this will be used primarily for preparing submariners for the big guns(INS Arihant,INS Aridaman etc)!
The only CM's these will fire are the Klub class ones!

It can fire cruise missiles from the torpedo tubes.

The Akula Class carry up to 12 Granit submarine-launched cruise missiles. The missiles are fired from the 533mm torpedo launch tubes. Granit (Nato designation: SS-N-21 Sampson) has a range of about 3,000km and delivers a 200kt warhead.

It can fire cruise missiles only upto 300km bcoz of MCTR

 

[janon]

The Arihant class of SSBNs is what will complete our nuclear triad. Not the Akula-II, which is an attack sub, or SSN. NOT an SSBN. This was explicitly mentioned in the article posted in the other thread about this sub.

It can launch Ballistic missiles too.

Thats not what Russians says and if its true then its not a SSN...
Also i have a question, even if Nerpa can fire a ballistic missile, what difference does it makes ? Russia is not giving us a ballistic missile and we cannot fit any missile in the tubes of nerpa...either we make a missile which can be used in Nerpa or just use the cruise missile but that won't help India in completing the triads.

We have an option to buy it after its leasing period is over, and obviously our K-15 SLBMs will be compatible with Nerpa.

 

[Screambowl]

since it is reconstructed and repaired as per Indian standards, so it is possible to have ballistic missile storage and launch facility to do sagarika tests.

MCTR applies when you buy a missile off the shelf, not when you fit your own on a (leased) platform. Only question is can we fit our own with desired range?

 

[Tshering22]

As usual, TOIlet media has let us down again with pathetic journalism. Our nuclear triad isn't complete. Nerpa is leased to train the IN sailors in operating nuclear submarine for INS Arihant nuke submarines. I doubt a lease submarine could be ever effectively used in war.

However taking this opportunity, I'd say that to command a powerful triad we need a powerful and pro-nation government which this government is not. It has to either leave or be forced to leave.

It can launch Ballistic missiles too.
