India quietly launched its fourth nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine at Ship Building Center in Visakhapatnam this week to strength its nuclear deterrence against its adversaries, reported Hindustan Times on Tueday.
Although the Modi government is tight-lipped on nuclear deterrence, the fourth SSBN, codenamed S4*, was launched on October 16, a day after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated Very Low Frequency Naval Station in Damagundam forest area of Vikarabad district in Telangana for command, control and communications with strategic assets of the Indian Navy.
While the first of its class INS Arihant carries 750 km range K-15 nuclear missiles, its successors are all upgrades of the previous ones and carry only K-4 ballistic missiles. The focus of the Narendra Modi government on sea-based submarine deterrence against powerful adversaries such as China is based on the fact that aircraft-carriers are vulnerable to long-range PLA missiles like Dong Feng-21 and Dong Feng-26 and could be sitting ducks in worst-case scenarios. It is for this very reason that the government has given priority to nuclear attack and ballistic missile submarines over the third aircraft-carrier for the Indian Navy.
