If there is a need for a floating silo ship, a deck loaded Sagarika/Shaurya with almost 1800K range and LTC aided Mk4/5 RV would be a better option. What do you think of a floating BM platform in general, especially with a K15/Shaurya missile which can have a BM or a Hypersonic CM mode of delivery?
Those will be next steps, nah? We are right now at the lower rungs of the BM ladder. Because of our geography (which is quite favorable, BTW) BM systems will be largely land based with the Second Strike capability being largely sea-based.
I do anticipate a part of the ABM system being sea-based. Consider this: LLTRs and other components on a semi-submersible in the Arabian Sea. Likely to happen. In addition to other sea-based platforms.
