LIVE: India Bolsters Nuclear Triad, Launches Second Nuclear Submarine | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Tensions are escalating in the Indian Ocean as both India and China expand their naval presence in the region. The recent docking of Indian and Chinese warships in Sri Lanka underscores this growing competition. New Delhi, concerned about Beijing's increasing naval activity, has been bolstering its own maritime capabilities. A significant milestone in this effort was the launch of the INS Arighat, a nuclear-powered submarine. This vessel, equipped with nuclear missiles, can help in boosting India's nuclear deterrence capabilities and strengthens its position as a regional naval power. India aims to acquire 24 new submarines by 2030, including 18 conventional and 6 nuclear-powered submarines. This expansion will solidify New Delhi's position as a major naval player in the Indian Ocean region.
However, India faces a significant challenge in catching up to China's massive naval fleet. The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA) is the largest naval force in the world. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma brings you the full report.
