India’s nuclear submarine to trigger arms race - Pakistan to maintain its minimum Deterrence
Pakistan has expressed concern over the induction of a nuclear submarine in the Indian Navy and said it will jeopardise the security paradigm of the entire region. ISPR spokesperson for the Pakistan Navy Commander Salman Ali said that Indian move would have far-reaching destabilising effects on the security environment not only of Pakistan but also of all the littoral states of Indian Ocean and beyond. He said the induction of 6000-tonne INS Arihant in the Indian Navy had the potential to trigger a nuclear arms race in the region and all littoral states, including Pakistan, would have to take appropriate safeguards. According to defence experts, the Indian nuclear submarine, the first of five planned, is powered by an 85-megawatt nuclear reactor and can reach 44 km an hour (24 knots) under water. It will be armed with torpedoes and ballistic missiles, and carry a crew of 95 men. Analysts say that the nuclear-powered submarine and the satellite launch vehicles planned by India have got a boost by the Indo-US nuclear deal. They believe that the Indian nuclear submarine capability will pose a serious threat to Pakistans brown water navy and in the years ahead will add to Indias capability to lay blockade and choke the flow of trade from the Gulf and via Suez Canal in the west and Strait of Malacca in the east.
