K5 MISSILE TEST FIRED

[OrionHunter]

Thats the gas turbine engine of a ship!!

Its not a missile launcher or anything like that.

Apologies!! This is the underwater pontoon/launcher....

It looks like that turbine though! The similarities are striking! Corrected! Thanks.

ET says it is K-5 and it's range is 1500 kms.

So, are they wrong on both the name (K-15) as well as the range... or is this really a missile different from K-15?

No its K-15 only K5 will be an SLBM version of AGNI-6 which is under development and regarding range its above 1500Km for a payload of 250KG and below, but officially for payload of 1000KG range is 700 Km

Its the K15 not K5, just the usual desi journalism.

K5 is the SLBM version of the Agni 5.

 

[The A-5]

Nope! That's the underwater pontoon/launcher! Not a gas turbine of a ship!!

...except that the K-15 launcher in this picture does not look anything like the one posted before.

The one you posted before IS the outer casing of a gas turbine engine. It doesn't have an opening like
this one does on top, go iron out the differences yourself.

I guess they messed it up with Shaurya missile, infact from the launch and trajectory it seemed more like Shaurya missile with 1500km range

Hard work pays off.

Shaurya is the land version of the K-15. This is the K-15.

It's K-5 or K-15?

India test fires medium range K-5 ballistic missile from underwater platform in Bay of Bengal

NEW DELHI: Moving a step closer to completing its nuclear triad, India today successfully test fired a ballistic missile, with a strike range of around 1500 kilometres, from an underwater platform in Bay of Bengal.

"The medium range K-5 ballistic missile was test fired successfully today from an underwater pontoon and all parameters of the test firing were met," DRDO chief V K Saraswat told PTI from the undisclosed test area.

Nuclear triad is the ability to fire nuclear-tipped missiles from land, air and sea.

Saraswat said that the development phase of the K-5 missile, which is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), was over and it was now ready for deployment on various platforms including the indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant which is under development.

I think Economic Times is wrong. It must be K-15 as reported by The Hindu

K-15 Missile test fired successfully - The Hindu

It's K-5 or K-15?

No, it's K-15. India hasn't even test fired K-4 yet(will soon). So I don't know how these journalist are so stupid to title it K-5.

India will reach this type of maturity in other areas in defense.

K4 has been test fired a long ago

 

[Water Car Engineer]

K4 has been test fired a long ago

No, it hasnt. It's gas boosters were tested under water. People keep saying that was the launch.

 

[Chanakyaa]

I Guess the best Logic as per the following Text :

Saraswat said that the development phase of the K-5 missile, which is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), was over and it was now ready for deployment on various platforms including the indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant which is under development.

Suggests, That K15 has been some how renamed as K5 ( Just a Wild Guess Though ).

No, it hasnt. It's gas boosters were tested under water. People keep saying that was the launch.

OMG!!! it has been test fired 2 times no!!! and its K4 mark1 i guess ....
