India's nuclear warheads have increased to 190. This expansion is part of a modernization effort. Global nuclear powers are upgrading their arsenals. Asia faces rising tensions and strategic competition. India's nuclear strategy focuses on China and Pakistan. New delivery systems and sea-based deterrents are being developed. The global arms control framework is weakening.

In a dramatic display of military strategy, Operation Sindoor witnessed India targeting Pakistani airbases and intercepting their missiles, ultimately facilitating a quick resolution. This incident emphasizes the delicate nuclear dynamics between India and Pakistan, two nations holding nearly equivalent stockpiles. Despite their varied approaches to weapon usage, both countries utilize a nuclear triad, essential for their deterrence capabilities.

India and Pakistan possess nearly identical nuclear arsenals, yet their doctrines diverge significantly. India adheres to 'No First Use' and aims for a minimum deterrent, while Pakistan's 'Full Spectrum Deterrence' counters India's conventional strength. India is expanding its nuclear triad, focusing on survivability and reach, while Pakistan emphasises tactical nuclear weapons and flexible options, raising escalation risks.

National Technology Day in India is a tribute to the groundbreaking 1998 Pokhran nuclear tests, symbolizing the nation's incredible journey in technological innovation. With a sophisticated nuclear triad now established, India stands tall with 172 warheads managed by the Strategic Forces Command, integrating air, land, and sea capabilities for unmatched security against any adversarial threats.

India significantly bolstered its maritime defense with the commissioning of INS Aridaman, its third indigenous nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. This strategic induction enhances the nation's nuclear triad capabilities. Additionally, the frigate Taragiri, a testament to 'Make in India' and advanced shipbuilding, was also inducted, boosting naval combat readiness and operational might.

The Navy is all gung-ho about the country’s first indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant, declaring it will soon head for sea trials.

ins arihant’s 750km and 3,500km missiles may be somewhat dwarfed by SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles) with ranges of well over 5,000km with the US, Russia and China, but the completion of the nuclear-triad is critical for a country like India, which has a clearly declared policy of “no first-use” of nuclear weapons.

With the indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant set to be launched for sea trials in few weeks, India will soon complete its nuclear triad.

Even as the indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant gets ready for sea trials, the country’s first underwater ballistic missile "successfully" completed its trials.

India's naval might is significantly bolstered today with the commissioning of INS Aridaman, a 7,000-ton nuclear-powered submarine. This advanced vessel, larger than its predecessors, enhances India's sea-based nuclear deterrent with a greater missile payload and improved stealth capabilities. INS Aridaman is a crucial step towards achieving continuous at-sea deterrence.

India has consciously moved towards countries like Israel, France, UK and US for its military needs to ensure that "not all its eggs are in Russian basket''.

Describing the launch of India's indigenous aircraft carrier and Japan's biggest warship since World War II as a threat to China, a report in the state-run media today alleged some countries are backing New Delhi to balance Beijing's power.

India's indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant successfully tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on Friday. The missile was tested to a predetermined range and impacted the target area in the Bay of Bengal with "very high accuracy", the defence ministry said.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday congratulated scientists and defence personnel on the reactor on India's first nuclear submarine ins arihant going critical, calling it a "giant stride" in the progress of the country's indigenous technological capabilities.

The country’s first indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant tested the waters on Monday with Union defence minister Manohar Parrikar flagging of its first sea trials from the Eastern Naval Command (ENC) base here.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday announced the country's first indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant successfully completed its "first deterrence patrol", which signifies the underwater predator has undertaken its maiden long-range mission with "live" nuclear-tipped missiles.

India will take a big step towards achieving a credible nuclear weapon triad in February when its first indigenous nuclear submarine ins arihant begins sea trials off Visakhapatnam.
