New Delhi: India successfully test-fired the K-4 ballistic missile, a 3,500 kilometre range nuclear capable missile that can be launched from a submarine.
The test of missile was conducted off the Vizag coast in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday.
With this feat, India has moved one more step towards the induction of this ballistic missile on the INS Arihant class of nuclear submarines.
The missile was developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The three-metre-tall missile carries a nuclear warhead of over one tonne with a circular error probability far lower than that of Chinese ballistic missiles.
