India enters elite club with launch of nuclear submarine
India joins a select group of five nations who possess the capability to build a nuclear powered submarine. INS Arihant is a ballistic missile submarine armed with twelve K-15 missiles, each capable of carrying a 500-kg nuclear warhead to a target 750-km away.
India expressed appreciation to Russia for its "consistent and invaluable cooperation," which "symbolizes the close strategic partnership that we enjoy with Russia." The Indian government is fully committed to ensuring the defence of national interests and the protection of its territorial integrity.
IMO: 'Education, education and education' is what does this. This sub was built in India, by Indians. Another 1500 universities is what India needs now. A lot more has already been done, for example in phone, internet and computer services, and much more needs to be done to become a true post-post industrial society.
