The Indian defence acquisition process was fraught with unacceptable and undue delays at all stages and most of the acquisition schemes result in foreclosure.

The India caste system was divided among the Brahmans, the Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.
The Indian indigenous arms industry was characterized by bizarrely protracted development cycles, measured in decades rather than years, which as often as not fail to ever result in an operational weapon. The Soviet system tended towards less sophiticated systems that were easier to produce and simplere to operate. American hardware was sophisticaed, the product of a system where cost over-runs and schedule delays are normal. Ĭountries have distinctive national styles of military technology. In all cases, however, the submarines were all "operational" rather than test assets. Contrary to other countries, the first efforts of France were directed into the building of a ballistic missile submarine. The "normal" program, that is, the programs of the USA, UK, and the Soviet Union, all followed a consistent pattern in which a nuclear powered attack submarine design was modified to carry long range strategic ballistic missiles. Just as China built socialism "with Chinese characteristics", India has built an atomic submarine "with Indian characteristics". The Arihant Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) was difficult to understand. Arihant - Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) - Boat
