India's second nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, INS Arighat, has been commissioned into the Indian Navy at Visakhapatnam (29 August 2024), enhancing India's naval capabilities and strategic nuclear deterrence.
INS Arighat is expected to be equipped with K-15 ballistic missiles, which have a range of 750 kilometers, significantly strengthening the Indian Navy's arsenal.
The submarine, an upgraded version of INS Arihant, represents a major step forward in India's naval capabilities and strategic nuclear deterrence.
