Islamic Jihadists from Pakistan and Bangladesh planning to attack India’s nuke submarine fleet under construction?
It is called ATV – Advanced Technology vessel. It is the nuclear submarine completely indigenously built by India and to be commissioned by India before the end of the decade. But many think tanks believe that the development site at Visakhapatnam naval dockyard, where the basic submarine structure is being fabricated, and Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research at Kalpakkam, where the pressurized water reactor are being tested, are vulnerable to Islamic Jihadist attacks. The sleeping cells are plenty and they are watching the development of India’s fuke submarine fleets.
By 2010, India should have a fully-operational nuclear submarine of its own and by 2015 India may have a fleet of ten. The Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project to build a nuclear-powered, guided-missile attack submarine is now on track after years of technical glitches and design problems.
"The first functional ATV should be ready for trials by 2007-08. The technical problems, including fitting a miniaturized pressurized water reactor (PWR) and its containment vessel in the submarine’s hull, have more or less been sorted out," say top sources.
But the whole plan can be derailed and precious time lost if the sleeping cells of Jihadists all over India become operational, wake up and strike these facilities.
