Why the test is so important:
- India's nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (
SSBN ) programme is a closely guarded project and is a key element of India's nuclear deterrence capability. - INS Arihant was the first boat under the SSBN project, followed by
INS Arighat . - The defence ministry said a "robust, survivable and assured retaliatory" capability is in sync with the country's policy to have 'credible minimum deterrence' that underpins its 'no first use' commitment.
- "The successful user training launch of the SLBM by INS Arihant is significant to prove crew competency and validate the SSBN programme, a key element of India's nuclear deterrence capability," the defence ministry stated.
