A nuclear-powered submarine can remain under water for a long duration while
Diesel-fired submarine has to rise to the surface every day to eject carbon-dioxide

A nuclear-powered submarine is a much more complex platform than any other vessel and India building one on its own is a great achievement. This is the unanimous assessment of officials, be they from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Department of Atomic Energy or the Indian Navy.

What enhances the scale of the achievement is that INS Arihant, Indias nuclear-powered submarine, will be fitted with Indias own K-15 ballistic missiles that can be launched from under water. The K-15 missiles, which are already under production, can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads. They have a range of 700 km. They are 10.4 metres tall and weigh 6.3 tonnes each.

This is a very big capability, a DRDO official said. It means we can launch missiles with nuclear warheads from ground, drop nuclear bombs from air and also fire them now from under water.

A nuclear-powered submarine bestowed on India the status of a nation possessing a blue-water navy because the boat can travel far and wide.

While the Navy designed INS Arihant, the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) built the mini-nuclear reactor that powers the submarine, the DRDO developed the K-15 missiles. The K-15 missiles have been test-fired several times from submerged pontoons off the coast of Visakhapatnam. A missile emerging from the water without losing its fire was a technology in itself

In a nuclear-energy system used in a submarine, there is no emission of carbon-dioxide. It is a clean form of energy, a DRDO official explained. The turbine operating on enriched uranium in INS Arihant is a clean system. But a diesel-generator emits carbon-dioxide. You cannot discharge it into the water. So the submarine has to be brought up to the surface every day to eject the carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere.

  • We are Ahead towards our Goal

  • @LaliSJamwal dude...the ARYAN INVASION THEORY is proven false. this submarine is a HINDU submarine. 

  • Hey guys Chinese bluff they have no nuclear propelled submarines. This is an Aryan submarine (most Indians in all our regions belong to the Aryan Race). Indians also thank her Russian brothers for all the help and support.

  • hehe ! porkis, who have proud of stolen junk russian weapons of 1979 & donated missiles by chinkis & north korea are not barking anymore here. the day porki will have any nuclear submarine, India will have 100,s of nuclear submarine & almost all arms of our defence forces fully nuclear armed.

  • Nice video..keep developing my darling motherland "INDIA".......don't worry bout enemeis I am here to protect you

    INS ARIHANT

  • Nice video..keep developing my darling motherland "INDIA".......don't worry bout enemeis I am here to protect you INS ARIHANT

  • @1greatdude and what d fuck do U need them for? i dont remember any country since japan in 1940s to carry out any major attack against u? y do u spend 700billion on military whereas u could use them for other purposes. india was attacked by pakistan as recently as 11 yrs ago, and it is no secret that the govt agengies there sponsor terrorism in india. so it justifies india's bid to have its borders more secured than before and ward off potential threats to the nations security

  • Never forget most Indians belong to the Aryan Race and the Aryan Race came from this region, no power can change this history. Most of us eat pig but never cow. Our Muslim brothers in india never eat pork and the Hindus never beef that is secular democratic India. Harmony.

  • @pragvansh

    No we didnot attack and regime changed mutherfucker Saddam and the sandniggers talibans due of "strategic advantages". we attacked out of self-defense because the former was an unrependent as well as unpredictable piece of shit who commited mass murders to his neighbors AND his own people, and because the latter were aides and abetters to the cocksucker bin laden.

    Now my question to u is in your mind who may attack India and why? And, what the fuck u need nukes and carriers for?

  • @1greatdude i dont care whom u included in ur "peace speech", i just care about things related to india. when did i say i wanted to kill pakistanis? in fact i have a dozen of pakistani frnds! i just said that india has the right to defend itself if it is attacked and the submarine is a part of the defense system! its as simple as that! why r u trying to make things complex?
