India test fires long range N-missile launched from under sea | Business Standard

In a significant step towards completing the nuclear triad available with a few nations, India has successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable ballistic missile launched from an underwater platform with a range of over 2,000 kms.

The missile, which can be launched from submarines, was test-fired yesterday in the Bay of Bengal and all parameters weremet, Defence Ministry sources said.

This is the longest range missile in the underwater category to have been developed by India.

The submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) is being readied for deployment on various platforms including the around 6,000-tonne indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant which will soon be ready for sea trials, sources said.

Date : Apr 23 2014

Missile : Akash SAM

Location: Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, Odisha.

Test Frequency: User trials

Performance :

After twin successes in February, the sophisticated surface-to-air missile missed the ‘missed-distance’ proximity. It was the missile’s first trial of the three-trial series. Defence sources said the missile was launched from the launching complex-III of the ITR at Chandipur-on-sea around 2.43 pm. Prior to firing of the missile, a pilot-less target aircraft (PTA) was flown from the launching complex-II around 2.30 pm.

“The missile was to destroy the PTA at an altitude of nearly 2 km as per the pre-designated coordination. But the mission failed as the weapon could not destroy the target. Though it attained the desired altitude, it failed to pass through missed-distance proximity,” said an official from the launching complex.


Result: Mixed results(Failure)
