| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Submarine launched cruise missiles offer a deadly and standoff strike capability to India’s existing and planned fleet of diesel and nuclear submarines. Armed with conventional warheads, three distinct types will be in operation on Indian Navy submarines, both old and new. Submarine launched cruise missiles are not only expensive to procure, store and maintain, they are also expensive and time consuming to design and develop. Development of follow-on types for cruise missiles currently in service is already underway. The game-changer for India will, of course, be the submarine launched version of the Brahmos. |
