INS Arighat: The country’s second nuclear submarine INS Arighat is coming to increase the strength of the Navy, know how dangerous it is

INS Arighat is joining the Navy

Along with INS Arihant, now INS Arighat will be stronger with the joining of the Navy. INS Arihant is in full action in 2018. This move will strengthen the country’s ‘nuclear triad’. Nuclear triad means the ability to launch nuclear attack from land, air and sea. According to sources, INS Arighat is similar to INS Arihant in size, length and weight. However, it is capable of carrying more K-15 missiles. The new nuclear submarine is more capable, efficient and stealthy.

The country’s second nuclear submarine

Both INS Arihant and INS Arighat are powered by 83 MW light water reactors. The small nuclear reactors inside them give them the ability to stay submerged for months. This is different from conventional submarines, which have to surface every two days to charge their batteries. India’s real strength will be seen when the third SSBN (nuclear-armed nuclear submarine) joins the Navy next year. This 7,000-tonne submarine will be named INS Aridaman.
