Care to connect the dots for me?

I only have old times stories and no up to date story tellers.
Ppl here came up with different theories which all made sense but this is my theory and could sound like a conspiracy.
When Arighat was launched in a news article a sentence caught my interest that Arighat was being launched to clear space for next two SSBNs.
Now consider this.
1) SBC has enough space to build two submarines.
2) Arihant was launched in 2009 and the news was out that the second one is under construction.
3) only a fool would believe, if anyone says it takes 8 years to build a copy of Arihant (ie Arighat) that by itself was build in 7 years.
4) If SBC had enough space to accommodate two submarines and Arighat was one then it can accommodate No.2 also right? At a time when we don’t have enough space to build warships would IN keep a dock empty? If it’s not empty what was occupying it?
5) A quote is published in the news that Arighat is being launched to accommodate next two SSBNs. And ther was a gossip among forums that another submarine was already floating around the same time.
I got some news about enough steel being produced for more subs years ago. Very reliable.

Now put everything together.
Arihant And Arighat were sister ships in the first batch of submarines launched way before last year considering the gossip of the second sub floating around before 2017 in point 5.
Aridhaman Could be the first one in the second batch produced and the one that was launched 2months ago and its sister ship could be the 4th that is being launched in the next 18 months. And it would clear space for for the next batch. And all this considering SBC can accommodate only 2. I could me totally wrong but it’s my theory.

Disclaimer - I’m dislexic have hard time writing so I generally stick to 1-2 sentence answers, pls bare my grammar.
 
We will BANG the PORKIS :love:
Are we talking east or west ?
I haven't seen Aashish talk about operational matters.

Must be related to weapon capacity building ..

If a small gem can alter whole country.. I can only think of LSA/MSA.

Ps : I don't want it to be agreed or denied.

May month can taken as peak summer, we ll wait for it.
POK. Only chance of a conflict. It’s not a demarcated border any event wouldn’t turn into a long term war with minimal world condemnation. A controlled conflict. Good for election. Could be around a dam(my guess).

That's the problem . Everybody thinks it's going to be controlled. Unless you neutralise Pakistan's NWP , nothing can be controlled. Which is easier said than done .Once you do it, you don't need to control them . You do your thing and move out . This isn't an open and shut case by any yardstick .

There are platforms and systems for deference and then there are realistic preparations for war. This is effective and entire setup looks to me like geared up for the latter eventuality.
In case hostilities break out, will India go all out for calling the bluff (?) and strike first OR be a reactionary force with greater punch? What is your view on that?

Source-based news on Indian SSBN Program

1. 3 SSBN are confirmed with 1 more under the active mode of fitment.
2. Will see get the 4th within 18-24 months in water
3. Arihant and Arighat is more than 4 VLS cells (wont confirm the number but more than 4 for sure)
4. Aridhaman is more than 8 VLS cells as well (wont confirm the number but more than 8 for sure)
5. Couple of tests of K-15 from submarine launch done as well (you won't get the video ever or an official confirmation)
6. One test of a depressed trajectory K4 done as well (from the submarine - again no confirmation ever)
7. These tests are not ejection tests. Its a full-fledged operational test of the SLBM
8 . 4+ months long operational deployment of Arihant done multiple times in busy SLOCs too.

Next up is K5 or extended version of K4 test planned soon as well

Also another small gem is planned...

Will give all a single hint - Summer is going to get very hot... very very hot... A bluff will be called in open.. Either way if the gem goes through, the whole situation will change for our country forever..

:cool:

Oh boy! Are we annexing POK? Thats the only scenario which can change the country forever. Merely testing or brawling on the border can't do that. It has to be territory.

But then I'm just thinking out loud :)
 
You think parikrama will give this bit of news about taking back PoK ?

I am 100% sure that's not the case.
 
Any thing special? I didn't get it even now.
The news about Arihant being hard docked was a cover for the work being done on its sister ship or Aridhaman. Arihant was away on operational deployment while its sister ship waspretending to be Arihant in the dry docks. (My take on the issue)

It is Ram Mandir verdict which is coming in April. Kapil Sibal wanted it postponed. Then congress made 4 judges to revolt. But the verdict is coming. Ram Mandir will be built soon

Hahaha.

Was that the best you could come up with , windbag ??

Come on.Try again . There's still some time before dementia strikes.

I wonder whether it will be dementia or atherosclerosis that strikes first? Although, in Joe's case it seems dementia has a definite headstart...

Did arihant went out of commission for 10 months or is that also cannot be confirmed?:unsure:
That is the funny part

The Hindu is quoting every one's favourite navy source! with no official confirmation or denial from the Navy.

PKS mentions that it was fake news !

Best to relax!!!

Summer is going to get very hot... very very hot... A bluff will be called in open..

A "bluff;" meaning either Pakistan's nuclear bluff, or their bluff about shooting down drones in their airspace; perhaps even both.

I doubt denuking is even an option, too risky endeavor considering the political scenario this year. Over time heard gossips on this forum about its available options though.
