   The development of armaments is interesting. Nations develop armaments, according to how they view the external challenges, and their own requirements, according to their perceived challenges. In World war 2, the British and German forces were fighting the same war, but German armaments were seen to be far superior to British armaments. The Russian medium tank, during the same war was the most superior product of the war. The German submarine, at the end of the war, was the most advanced.
   The Russians were most challenged in land warfare during the Second World War. The Germans, had an inadequate navy, and they tried to compensate both in the quality and quantity of their submarines. Perhaps, the level of the challenge perceived, gives rise to an attempt to adequately address it. The American forces were never challenged industrially during World War 2. The challenges to the armaments industry, were perhaps not great. Their fighter airplanes, and bombers were world class, and the designs of their aircraft carriers were the best, but were not very innovative. They just improved, on earlier concepts. The American war industry was not required to innovate to have a decisive advantage on the battlefield, in air, or at sea. The German juggernaut was competitive, because of it's more destructive capability in the act of war. Some nations try to be more destructive in one aspect of war, or another. The Germans tried to be destructive in all aspects, and how to maximize military impact all round, was what was the underlying motive of 'Blitzkrieg', and the submarine 'Wolf Packs'. Where the Germans failed, was in their bombing campaign of Operation Sea Lion. Their military doctrine emphasized close quarter combat with the enemy. When bombing from great heights, they were not sure of the efficacy of their attacks. They had no clue as to the devastation they had wrecked, to the true extent, perhaps. The bombers of the German Luftwaffe lost Germany the war for Britain.

   We are in the 21st century, where majuor naval power of the world posses nuclear subs then why are we concentrating our buys on kilo class @ amur class subs?These subs are considered obsolete nowadays.
   We must concentrate on nuclear subs which can serve longer.More Arihants should be devoloped & made.

   There really is no need for India to pursue the acquirement of nuclear submarines there are many advantages to a diesel electric submarine over a nuclear
   
   - When a kilo class is running on electric it is the most quietest sub out there as a nuclear submarines reactor coolant pumps will still be working and if you know what to listen for you can spot it.
   Again since the kilo is by default silent on electric you don't need to incorporate very expensive and advanced stealth constructions to absorb noise like in american subs. For India to try and make or acquire any nuclear submarines other than american ones would be foolish and america is not going to give us their best weapon.
   
   - the kilo is smaller and thus much more manuverable and is able to detect targets at 3-4 times the distance before it is spotted itself it is specifically designated a sub hunter.
   
   - The problem with diesel electric subs arises from the fact that the batteries only last for a period of time after that it has to be recharged using the diesel engine leaving it quite vunerable. Nuclear submarines can go many months without surfacing basically they go as far as their food lasts lol. But the distance was required for america because bascially they wanted to patrol the whole world our immediate threat is pakistan and they are close by for a quick attack
   and defence the kilos are more than enuogh because they dont have to travel far
   
   In my opinion instead of wasting money on nuclear submarines noe India should improve technolgies inside the sub like passive and active sonar, torpedoes that allow us to detect and eliminate targets better than the enemy.
