submarine missile
India can test submarine-launched ballistic missiles between today and November 30. To this end, India issued a NOTAM, which gave information on missile tests with a range of 3,490 kilometers. The missile test will be conducted near the Bay of Bengal in Visakhapatnam. The model of the missile has not yet been revealed, but it may be K4 or K5.
The K5 and K4 missiles are submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) developed by India. These missiles can be launched from Indian Navy submarines. The K4 missile has a range of approximately 3,500 kilometers and is a medium-range ballistic missile. This missile is capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The K5 missile has a range of approximately 5,000 kilometers and is an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). The missile is also capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
Where are the K5 and K4 missiles manufactured?
The K5 and K4 missiles are developed by India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). These missiles cover half of China and all of Pakistan. This missile is also part of India’s nuclear programme. The development of the K5 submarine-launched ballistic missile took eight years.
As the world war crisis worsens, India continues to strengthen itself. In recent times, India has repeatedly test-launched such missiles, causing panic in neighboring countries, and China is most troubled by this.
Many missiles are being tested
Recently, DRDO tested its first long-range hypersonic missile. On November 16, DRDO successfully tested a long-range hypersonic missile at Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha. This hypersonic missile is designed for all three branches of the Indian Armed Forces. The missile has a payload range of more than 1,500 kilometers.
Earlier, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) conducted the first flight test of the Long Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM) with a range of over 1,000 kilometers at the Chandipur Integrated Test Range. The successful test was conducted off the coast of Odisha using a mobile articulated launcher. According to sources, the Indian Navy may possess about 200 indigenous long-range attack cruise missiles.
In this context, DRDO plans to conduct around 20 additional test flights to improve its performance, which will also include terminal homing through indigenous radio frequencies. This missile has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and has sea-skimming capabilities, which will bring a huge improvement to the strength of the Indian armed forces, especially the navy.
