Launched in Nov 2021, it follows INS Arihant, of this class. The submarine displaces 6,000-tons with a length of 110 metres and a breadth of 11 metres. They are designed to carry K4 and K15 submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
The name Arighaat means, "The Destroyer of the Enemy". (The name of the class of naval ships and submarines is generally the name of the first ship built of the same design).
A nuclear triad is a three-layered military force structure that consists of nuclear bombs and missiles that can be launched from land, water and air. The land-based inter-continental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and strategic bombers are components of the triad.
Indian Navy's tryst with nuclear-powered submarines began in Jan 1988 with a nuclear attack submarine, INS Chakra, leased from the then USSR. Meanwhile, the Indian Navy's Advanced Technology Vessel project was taking shape in the 1990s. It fructified with INS Arihant getting inducted in Aug 2016.
It is expected to serve as a deterrent for the Chinese Navy's increasing forays into the Indian Ocean Region.
