Mostly pop out test and may be one half range test when Prithvi was tested.Is there any leaked information on the K4 test? What range was it tested for?

Tested for 1750km or 200km (basically half of K4 range or half of Prithvi range)?Mostly pop out test and may be one half range test when Prithvi was tested.
first part is state secret.Tested for 1750km or 200km (basically half of K4 range or half of Prithvi range)?
Having Prithvi is paying off in multiple ways :thumb:
In a dramatic breakthrough in its nuclear offensive capability, India has successfully tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) with an eventual range of 3,500 km. Tested secretly off Visakhapatnam in January this year, the 10-m long and 1.3-m wide missile emerged from a pontoon submerged 50 m underwater and breached the surface. Painted black and white so that it can be distinguished in water, it has passed a critical parameter

A second firing, to be conducted off Visakhapatnam within two months, will revalidate a critical parameter-the ability of a 20-tonne projectile to withstand 50 kg of water pressure and eject from a submerged launcher before engaging its rocket booster.

DRDO officials say that the K-4 will be ready for induction before the end of the decade. This is because most technologies, including the sophisticated guidance packages, were already perfected while developing the shorter range K-15 SLBM.

the land version of k-4 would be an ideal choice for india's very own long range carrier killer.
k-4 and agni 3 though comparable in range are completely different.agni 3 is an older generation missile of about 48 ton weight and is the primary workhorse of sfc and is a product of asl lab.k-4 is about 17 ton weight new generation submarine based missile and is a product of rci lab.as far as chinese carrier killer is concerned it has been tested on ship based old platforms and is regarded by global military community as a big threat to aircraft carriers.even iran is claiming to have a carrier killer missile in its arsenal and many countries will follow soon.i am saying that k-4 can be modified in a long range anti ship role if the need arise.Land version of the K-4 is called Agni III (range wise). China's carrier killer is a propaganda tool. Currently no country has the technology to develop a BM with 2m CEP.
Hi, ballistic missiles cannot perform anti ship role since this role requires mid course correction (a ship is not a stationary target) and terminal seeker. That is why all anti ship missiles have generally two modes of guidance, an INS or GPS based guidance which may be aided by data guidance allowing for mid course correction, plus a terminal guidance for end game (active radar homing in case of Brahmos). Ballistic missile don't come with terminal seekers since they are meant to target stationary systems.the land version of k-4 would be an ideal choice for india's very own long range carrier killer.
yes,k4 and A3 are different.some told me that K4 and A3 SL are two different projects. Can someone confirm that ?
A3 SL (Submarine Launch)yes,k4 and A3 are different.
A3 SL?
there is no sub launched missle in A-family.A3 SL (Submarine Launch)
there is no sub launched missle in A-family.
Sir, this is just speculation, not an authentic source.
someday you will know that it is not speculation.Sir, this is just speculation, not an authentic source.
Maybe, but it doesn't make any sense. K-4 is much more technologically advanced than the AIII. When both has the same range, then why go for a relatively backward missile when we already have a relatively much more advanced missile?someday you will know that it is not speculation.
Land version of k4 is shaurya?Land version of the K-4 is called Agni III (range wise). China's carrier killer is a propaganda tool. Currently no country has the technology to develop a BM with 2m CEP.
Imo agni SLBM mirv will come once the MIRV'D land version is tested?there is no sub launched missle in A-family.
I think, Shaurya is land version of k-15 SagarikaLand version of k4 is shaurya?
Land version of K-15 is Shaurya.Land version of k4 is shaurya?
