K 4 SLBM : Indian Aerospace/Defense News

[IADnews]

So how many planned 3 or 4 at least?

3 Planned, 2 Under Construction already and 1 in Seal trials

I suppose and i am not sure mind you that

1. Full payload 1000kg means its carrying conventional payload
2. Reduced payload 180kg hence greater range means its carrying nuclear payload

Not sure but i think this is the explanation

So we can launch conventional strikes over half of Pakistan and nuclear strike over the complete territory using K-15 SLBM

Ok Thanks Sir...........But 180Kg will be enough or not...I mean K4 Mark 1 has a warhead payload of 2.5 Tonnes.............

Any idea when K-15 will be test fired from the submarine?

WE won't be firing conventional play load with K 4 or K 15 . As it will be taking as Nuclear launch by China or pakistan .

@IADnews K-4 SLBM's normal range is 4000 Km...........let me add one more thing range of K-15 is 1500 Km and not 750 Km as some authors suggest, 4 and 15 indicates their strike range.

for your CGI effort.

It's quite a rumour going around . But am not sure .

Cool man. I was not in India. Great to know. But 3500 km with 2.5 T ? Is it wrong info ? Because it's 20 kg rocket It can be used instead of Agni5 if it's true . @griffin
