India now nuclear capable at sea, land, air with INS Arihant test
India's first nuclear-powered submarine INS Arihant has completed its first deterrence patrol, PM Narendra Modi said on Monday. The submarine completes India's nuclear triad by adding sea-based strike capability to land and air-based delivery platforms. "INS Arihant will protect the 130 crore Indians... and its success gives a fitting response to those who indulge in nuclear blackmail," PM added.
