Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016
I am unable to determine from my naked eye if the waterline is higher, but not sure if 4 BMs will cause a visible change to a sub's waterline mark. You're probably right. 17t x 4 = 68t. Arihant's displacement when surfaced is apparently 6000t. I'll assume you are right. Does it even look like the s...

Radar guided BVRAAMs need to switch their radars on for the end game.. The technology where an AWACS allows a silent shoot all the way hasn't come online yet.
