New Delhi (NVI): In another shot in the arm For Indian Navy, the K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile was successfully test-fired off the coast of Visakhapatnam for second time this week.

The feat could be seen as a major milestone to augment India’s naval prowess. With today’s test, India has further strengthened its capability to hit enemy targets from submarines.

Developed by DRDO, the missile which has a range of 3,500 km can bring almost all parts of Pakistan and several areas of China within its reach.

The missile is being developed by the DRDO to be integrated with India’s Arihant class nuclear submarine.

K-4 is one of the two underwater missiles that are being developed by India for its submarine force.
