Israel has SLBMs in some of their boats. I’m sure Iran has been fully informed of this.
Doesn’t the UK have Trident SLBMs?
I hope the Royal Navy has some plan to keep the invaders from getting access to them.
Yet another sterling example of leftist establishment "journalism".
Yes they do. IIRC, those Trident II Missiles are cycled out, stored, and repaired in the USA. So I guess you could technically call them US Missiles, but the UK does possess Nuclear Equipped Ballistic Missile Submarines.
Newsweak needs an editor.

Brits have the Vanguard class SSBN.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin-class_submarine
Israeli Dolphins have nuclear tipped cruise missiles.
America needs to strengthen ties with India. Trump visit?
Maybe India wants to get back at the Brits for colonialism.
I hope they take care of it better then the last sub they had.

Doubtful. They haven’t even conquered clean water yet; even in a river they consider “Holy”.
Imagine the smell inside the sub with all that currie....
LOL. We were at Disney one year and we got on the tram to go back to the entrance. It was pretty busy so we grabbed whatever seat we could get. I wasn’t paying attention as we got going as I had a stroller and bags of obligatory chachkie purchases. Suddenly, it hit me in the smells really hard. An entire family about three rows ahead of us with the wind blowing straight through them onto all of us poor souls behind them. Grandparents, parents, kids. Ugh. As fast as those trams go, it wasn’t nearly fast enough.
Really poor article.
The UK has had American boomers/nuclear submarines and missiles for a long time, like about 22 years.
“Nuclear weapons and the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

By the time it entered service in 1982 it had cost approx £1bn. The final Polaris/Chevaline patrol took place in 1996.
India seems to be advancing in high tech faster than they are in low tech.
I think you’re picking at nits, the story is about INDIA’s military not those incompetent backstabbing Brits.
That is one of the funniest articles I have read in a long time.
Newsweak idiot.
Britain has the Vanguard class - 4 nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines. Although they have a range a lot longer than 400 miles.
“those incompetent backstabbing Brits.”
That would be the US’s closest most reliable ally in the past 100 years right?
Oh wait, the US has a better friend than the Brits? I must have missed them.
Lol!
Yes, the same folks who colluded with the Obama administration to interfere with our election, are trying to bring down the Trump Presidency and are in the process of screwing up their own exit from the EU.
Those guys...
