Finally the submarine program is back on track.

We need nuke subs ASAP, whatever the cost

We need nuke subs ASAP, whatever the cost

Plans are afoot. SLBM deterrent is really the only forward for an assured second strike capability.

As mentioned in other PN thread, the following is the most practical choice...

PN ought to concentrate on Chinese SSKs that are in development phase based on the 039C (4k tonnes) class design with VLS (like South Korean SSKs).

There are unsubstantiated rumours that the Chinese are developing mini reactor of this type.

It would be ideal if PN went that approach & 8 such AIP-SSKs (N) with VLS would extensively enhance PN capabilities & refrain from having to make significant investments in SSNs to counter IN's SSN threat.

Further, Hangor & Augusta fleet will complement this type while PN is also in talks with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for their S800/1000 Shallow water SSK based on U212/4 design to replace midget subs.

so what does that mean for Nukes 2nd strike capability?

Twin silos, or quad silo boomer?

Twin silos, or quad silo boomer?

Under closed curtains few know. A vessel based on the Type 094 model would be great.

The PN is already doing much of this, but however do you mean that Pakistan's second strike should be secured through SLCM system?

 

[War Lord]

Definitely need more than 8 lol

16 would have been better.

By the time Pakistan has 8 subs India will have 20+, 2-6 of which'll be nuke subs.
