K5 MISSILE TEST FIRED

[Skull and Bones]

K 5 or K 15 ?

Janne ke liye dekhte rahiye, Shansani.

 

[Capt.Popeye]

The submarine isnt ready yet..
They can have a few more tests of Kali missile.

Mr. Junior T.T. don't indulge in always just firing "blanks"!
The SLBM has already been tested from a submerged pontoon earlier. Don't need a sub for doing that if you 'think about it'.
Kali is no missile btw, its just a Lasered PITA.

Nahi yaar..
Aaj sunday hai,aur mai thora bore ho raha hoon..
Just pulling your leg..
Ok no more traulin

I can understand... been there done that... got a few infractions with a smile too!!

Shouldnt it be the K-15 ?

Because I remember VKS saying after the previous launch that one more launch is remaining before the missile is operationalized.

According to DRDO chief V.K. Saraswat, the missile is ready for deployment in platforms including nuclear submarine INS Arihant, which is under development in India.

It's K-15 not the K-5

India successfully test-fires underwater missile
27 January 2013
By Y. Mallikarjun, T. S. Subramanian India on Sunday successfully test-fired the underwater ballistic missile, K-15 (code- named B05), off the Visakhapatnam coast, marking en end to a series of developmental trials. In its twelfth flight trial, the 10-metre tall Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) lifted off from a pontoon, rose to an altitude of 20 km and reached a distance of about 700 km as it splashed down in the waters of the Bay of Bengal near the pre- designated target point. According to scientific advisor to the Defence Minister V.K. Saraswat, the missile was tested for its full range of 700 km and the mission met all its objectives. He said the impact accuracy of the medium range strategic missile was in single digit. With the completion of developmental trials, the process of integrating K-15 missile with INS Arihant, the indigenously-built nuclear submarine, will begin soon. As many as 12 nuclear-tipped missiles, each weighing six tonnes will be integrated with Arihant, which will be powered by an 80 MWt (thermal) reactor that uses enriched uranium as fuel and light water as coolant and moderator. India is only the fifth country to have such a missile -- the other four are the United States, Russia, France and China. Meanwhile the reactor has been integrated with the submarine and it was expected to go critical in May/ June 2013. Once that was done, the harbour trials will begin. Besides Arihant, three other nuclear-powered submarines were being constructed -- one at Visakhapatnam and two at Vadodara. India is also developing K-4 missile with a range of 3,000 km.

So this one isnt a re-entry missile and altitude of 20 km isnt enough for deploying MIRV either,so single warhead.

May be they are doing 'step by step' testing..
Right now testing the vertical launch system and some missile perimeters...not the full capability.

The article says that a total of four arihant class subs are being constructed. Is this true? I thought it was three of these, and then three improved versions later.

Anyway this is the culmination of "project sagarika". Acuracy of ten metres at a distance of 700 kms is very impressive, especially since we are talking of nuclear missiles. So each Arihant will carry 12 of these - that's 12 cities that can be nuked in retaliation. At least two arihant class subs can be on deterrent patrol 24/7/365, since we will are already building four of these, with improved versions to follow.

Now for the K-4.

I think it's K15 as per the timing. We are not aware about K 5 though.

K15 is a QBM and cannot be MIRVed because of small diameter .

According to this wiki image Krait-5 missile has a range of 1400 km and payload 450 kilos.

This is K15 missile . Has a range of 700km for 1 ton payload.

Kali missile ? ... K series is named after Kalam.

Or 'K' as in KICK-A$$?
