The Strategic Significance of INS Varia: India's Underwater Nuclear Deterrent
The unveiling of INS Varia, India’s new underground nuclear submarine base, marks a notable advancement in the nation's naval capabilities. With a staggering investment of $3.7 billion, this base is ingeniously built into a rocky cliff, designed to withstand nuclear attacks while facilitating secret docking for submarines. As India expands its fleet of nuclear submarines, INS Varia is poised to play a critical role in the country's nuclear deterrence strategy, particularly in the context of rising tensions with China.
