China's nuclear submarine building facilities expansion leaves India concerned, one facility can make 7 nuclear-powered submarines simultaneously​

Updated Sep 07, 2021 | 23:01 IS

New Delhi: The huge expansion of China's nuclear submarine building facilities has the world, and also India, concerned.

The Huludao Shipyard, once the Bohai Shipyard in Liaoning Province has more than tripled in size and is now capable of making 7 nuclear-powered submarines simultaneously.

The original construction area was about 300,000 sq metres, but it is now three times the size. So, instead of being able to make 2 submarines simultaneously, it can make 7.

As a result, the expansion of the Chinese nuclear submarine fleet is likely in the near future. Currently, the Chinese Navy has 13 nuclear-powered attack submarines or SSNs and SSBNs or nuclear-powered ballistic submarines. The Chinese Navy has 1 Xia class, 6 Jin-class and 6 Shang class submarines. This is estimated to grow to 36 nuclear-powered submarines in 15 years. There could be 12 SSBNs, which carry long-range missiles and 24 SSNs.

The new submarines could be bigger and more capable. The Tang class vessels can carry 24 submarine launched ballistic missiles as opposed to 12 by the current ones. The Sui class vessels at 8000 tonnes will be bigger than the Shang class ones.

India has begun manufacturing the Arihant-class nuclear powered submarines and leasing nuclear-powered attack submarines from Russia. Nuclear-powered submarines have more capability than other submaines, though both are necessary. The chief of defence staff, General Bipin Rawat, has already spoken out about having more submarines, especially conventional submarines, pointing out that previous Indian Navy chiefs had often spoken about bolstering the submarine fleet.

If you would've known how it works,you would've been crying in corner and worrying about your noisy submarine.
It has largest range when it comes to hitting subs.
China's navy is good on paper,no experience in real time warfare.

Of course, what Indian made is always the best. US and China are scared of unrivaled Indian military power so much.

As usual wumaos lack technical knowledge as usual you might be scratching your head thinking what to respond.
Smart asw does makes Chinese subs useless and Ior becomes a graveyard for them,the fact is US,Russia tried similar system and failed while India succeeded,you can cry.
Max range of chinese torpedo capable of hitting india subs might be 60km,we have 600km this is called innovation hope you know that,copy pasting articles won't give you knowledge.

So much for stealth ... these Subs have been regularly tracked and monitored by IN too...


There is a reason why india have invested in 18 no;s of P - 8 Poseidon . they are best submarine hunters platforms at the moment..the capabilities will be further enhanced by order of 24 no's of MH 60 sea hawks... if i remember correctly, 3 are already delivered to IN ..

Don't forget We already have the sea-bed lined with surveillance sensors.

History and common sense tells us a sustainable military might can only be achieved by the backing of rubust economy and comprehensive industrial and manufacturing capabilities, India, with its tiny GDP only a small fraction of China's and no decent industries , can only resort to bragging to beat China.

China is a paper tiger and everyone knows,you don't need to match your enemies industrial capacity or economy to beat it,if today war brokes out China would suffer humiliating defeat due to geography favoring India and Indian forces being more experienced by defeating chinese puppet Pakistan.
PLAAF cannot hit indian bases and carry more load due to high altitude,PLA mountain warfare is not at par with indian counterpart.
Your army is joke and has changed it's commander multiple times due to failure in countering IA.

Lol, do you think anyone will believe this crap other than Indians themselves? I guess Nehur used to believe the same.

You can't counter it,say it simply.
Everyone knows that high altitude bases is a major problem for PLAAF to strike against India,you don't even know that,just another wumao who is fed by propaganda.

Haha. Who is everyone? At least our airforce regularly exercise in high altitude terrains and adjust our equipment accordingly. unless your Indian airforce, just sit on the groud bragging.

Keep coping,your airforce's aircraft cannot fly with full load and hit indian installations due to their airbases at high altitudes,exercise means nothing because you never simulate such attacks by crossing territory.
Your real challenge will be high altitude once you do it in real time(actual wartime)

Lol, why we need to hit Indian installation now? even our rocket artillery can cover New Delhi from the border region. PLA doesn't have to attack now, we have much more money and resources, we can easily bankrupt you by keeping you on your toes all along the border region and that's what we are doing for now. it's good to be rich , well equipped and comfortably supplied, isn't it?
