Why India needs project 75 alpha when it has Arihant and Arighat 

Induction :

India has already invested in nuclear powered submarines like Arihant and Arighat. So, why is project 75 alpha necessary. This post explores the reason behind India's need for project 75 alpha, a nuclear powered attack submarine, in addition to Arihant and Arighat. 

Project 75 alpha :

🛑 Nuclear powered attack submarines. 

🛑Equipped with nuclear reactorsand advanced propulsion system. 

🛑 Designed for strategic and tactical operations. 

🛑 Will enhance India's nuclear deterrence and neval capabilities. 

Arighat / Arihant :

🛑 Nuclear powered ballestic missile submarines. 

🛑 Primarily use for strategic deterrence, nuclear second strike capability. 

🛑 Designed for stealth, endurance and survivability. 

🛑 Operate autonomously, remaining undetected for extended periods. 

Why India need project 75 alpha :

1) Diversifised nuclear deterrence :

Project 75 alpha provides a different nuclear deterrence capability compared to Arihant and Arighat, making it harder for adversaries to plan against India's nuclear capabilities. 

2) Enhancing India's blue - water capabilities :

This project strengthens India's ability to operate in open ocean, helps to protect India's economic interests and sea lanes 

3) nuclear triad :

India's aims to establish a nuclear triad (land, sea and air based nuclear capabilities) 

4) Indian Ocean region (IOR) security:

The IOR is critical for global trade and energy security. Project 75 alpha enhances India's ability to secure its interests and maintain regional stability, while Arighat and Arihant are for second strike capabilities.
