Indian Navy Successfully Tests K-4 Missile from INS Arighaat
The Indian Navy successfully tested the K-4 missile from its nuclear-powered submarine, INS Arighaat. This important test strengthens India’s defense and validates its second-strike capability.
The K-4 missile test is part of India’s plan to have a "second-strike" ability.
On Wednesday, the Indian Navy successfully tested the K-4 missile from its new nuclear-powered submarine, INS Arighaat.
This missile can travel 3,500 kilometers, which is a very long distance. The test is important for India because it helps strengthen the country’s defense.
The K-4 missile test is part of India’s plan to have a "second-strike" ability.
This means that if another country attacks India first, India can still respond with powerful weapons from its submarines. This makes it harder for anyone to attack the country
The Indian Navy will continue to test the K-4 missile to ensure it works properly.
INS Arighaat, along with another submarine, INS Arihant, are two of the Navy’s nuclear submarines that can launch these powerful missiles. These submarines help make India’s defense stronger by providing a backup plan.
INS Arighaat was added to the Indian Navy in August and is a very important part of the country’s defense system.
A third submarine is being built and is expected to join the Navy next year, making India’s defense even stronger.
