India successfully develops SLBM for 'INS Arihant'

[The A-5]

I've heard a total of 14 such missiles can be carried by 1 Arihant

3 Arihants = 42 missiles

If it can carry 14 missiles it should have 14 silos ......

Arihant is said to have just 4 silos .......

pgreat news......

 

[The Deterrent]

Operational range 700 km @ 1,000 kg and 1,900 km @ 180 kg
For 700 KM it can apply 8 MIRV but I am not sure for 1900KM.

You cannot just shove in MIRVs like this on a Quasi-Ballistic Missile. The warhead section never re-enters the atmosphere and so the multiple warheads cannot be independently guided to separate targets. Besides, the diameter is too small (0.74 m) for Multiple Warheads on the same bus.

I don't believe that this range variation is practically possible for a missile like Shaurya/K-15, specially because its flight altitude is too low. It may work for other ballistic missiles.

It can carry 4 K-4 missiles or 12-14 K-15 missiles.
