After Shourya ,now focus shifts to K-4 Missiles | idrw.org

After third successful launch of the hypersonic missile ” Shourya “, DRDO is all set to start production of the missiles . Shourya which is a land-variant of India’s K-15 missile which is a Submarine launched missile iscurrently been fitted into the Navy’s nuclear-powered submarine, Arihant.

While the development work of Shourya is almost over and the missile is all set to enter production , focus now has shifted to another Submarine launched missile which has been under development for a while . K-4 which will be a modified Agni-III ,with range of 3000 km and been in development for a while , will see renewed pace in its development .

DRDO has not confirmed or denied existence of K-4 missile in media , but sources have confirmed about its existence , while K-4 is still under development and first test will not be held soon , instead DRDO want to carry out further test of K-15 to validate test parameters for a under launched platform .

In past Indian navy had refused to loan a Diesel Kilo Class submarine to DRDO for modification and testing of K-15 missile due to shortage of submarines in Indian navy . but media reports indicate that DRDO secretly tested the missile from a submerged canister in 2006 period , but DRDO have never cleared this reports .

K-15 will be first armed on India’s Nuclear powered submarine INS Arihant , after it completes it harbor and deep sea level tests , plans are also in place to second diesel submarine line which India wants to manufacture and purchase for its Navy .

Another shoddy reporting...K-4 is not a modified Agni-3. Its a totally new series of Missiles...
Two series of BMs are being developed- K and Agni..

This IDRW is not any news site but a blog run by someone has very limited knowledge about defence. Just expanded what The Hindu report says.


Agni-3 is huge cannot be fitted into submarine.

I would say DRDo has done a good job by keeping k-15/4 a secret, at leats with lot of amobiguity...
A lot of issues will be clear after Arhant gets commissioned.

Yes...

I agree. Also the k series missiles had nothing to do with Agni series. Agni series is Saraswat's baby and K series is other program but because of Saraswat k series program is facing problems because it was agni that helped him reach the top but if someone builds a better missile his limelight will get overshadowed but armed forces like k series (k4/ k15 /Sagarika / Shaurya).

No it isn't Dr.Kalam's baby...Here k here defeinitely stands for Kalam but it was for paying the respect to this great scientist. K series is a new missile program.

Rite.

Wrong. There are some misinformation about this. let clear it...

Dr. Saraswat headed Prithvi development programmes in the 90s. After that he headed the BMD programme and now DRDO chief. He has nothing to do with Agni project. Agni missile development programme (Agni-TD, Agni-1 and Agni-2) was headed by R.N. Agarwal for long time. As he was the director of ASL, the lab responsible for Agni series. Now there are little info who spearheaded 'Kalam' series and which ab was responsible for that.

Above all Dr. Saraswat is the DRDO chief he cannot and will not stop or delay any project. And it is BMD programme and his leadership quality that led him to the top not Agni series.



Now on pls forget that wrong info spreaded by Sandip Unnithan.

As as angeldemon_007 mentioned it is not Kalam's baby, the name given in honor. Neither they are advanced than Agni series. They are different.

We will develop military till the extent of it gives shivers down the spine of India's enemy before even thinking of harming India in any way whatsoever forget about bulling or attacking us. :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil:
