The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman view India's S5 SSBN programme as a stabilising strategic development that strengthens New Delhi's long-term maritime deterrence. They see India's expanding undersea nuclear capability as supporting regional stability and securing key maritime trade routes. India's growing naval strength is also expected to enhance the security of vital energy and shipping corridors across the Indian Ocean. Gulf nations are likely to deepen defence and maritime cooperation with India while maintaining a balanced regional approach. The S5 SSBN programme further reinforces India's position as a leading maritime power in the Indo-Pacific.
