Your Airhant is not sea worthy yet. are you sure about your claims and also if K series are not Russian missiles?

The SLBM program has been highly secretive. No one had any clue. Its 100% Indian Effort.

Regarding sea worthiness , well if you mean that has the Submarine Started Nuclear Patrols , no it hasn't yet.

But the vessel has successfully tested and integrated . Weapon Systems and is being used right now to test longer range SLBMs. When you see the next NAVERA warning in Bay of Bengal this year from now,and it would be Arihant test fireing the medium range SLBM.

What press release?

"
Rawalpindi - January 9, 2017:
Pakistan conducted its first successful test fire of Submarine Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM) Babur-3 having a range of 450 kilometers, from an undisclosed location in the Indian Ocean. The missile was fired from an underwater, mobile platform and hit its target with precise accuracy. Babur-3 is a sea-based variant of Ground Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) Babur-2, which was successfully tested earlier in December, last year.

Babur-3 SLCM incorporates state of the art technologies including underwater controlled propulsion and advanced guidance and navigation features, duly augmented by Global Navigation, Terrain and Scene Matching Systems. The missile features terrain hugging and sea skimming flight capabilities to evade hostile radars and air defenses, in addition to certain stealth technologies, in an emerging regional Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) environment.

Babur-3 SLCM in land-attack mode, is capable of delivering various types of payloads and will provide Pakistan with a Credible Second Strike Capability, augmenting deterrence. While the pursuit and now the successful attainment of a second strike capability by Pakistan represents a major scientific milestone, it is manifestation of the strategy of measured response to nuclear strategies and postures being adopted in Pakistan’s neighborhood.

The test was witnessed by the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, DG Strategic Plans Division (SPD) Lieutenant General Mazhar Jamil, Commander Naval Strategic Force Command (NSFC), senior officials, scientists and engineers from Scientific Strategic Organizations. The CJCSC and three services chiefs congratulated all the officials involved, on achieving this highly significant milestone. He also highlighted that successful test fire of SLCM also demonstrates confidence on our scientists and engineers in fostering the technological prowess, through indigenization and self-reliance. Pakistan eyes this hallmark development as a step towards reinforcing policy of credible minimum deterrence."

The ISPR press release says "mobile, underwater platform". Could've just said submarine? Is this to avoid any contractual infractions with the French?

It is a mobile underwater platform
For all intents and purposes that is pretty much all we need to know.

Unrelated, does anyone know the model of the Chinese submarine that was spotted in karachi?

 

[Director General]

Your Airhant is not sea worthy yet. are you sure about your claims and also if K series are not Russian missiles?

Arihant is fully operational now and commissioned.
