India’s undersea deterrent had so far revolved around the K-15 ballistic missile, built with significant help from Russia. [color="#4b0082"]The K-15 was to equip the INS Arihant, India’s lone nuclear-powered submarine, which is being constructed in Visakhapatnam. But now, after rigorous underwater testing, the Shaurya could be the mainstay of Arihant’s arsenal.[/color] [/quote]



In the last few days, from teh press reports it appears that DRDO is now saying K-15 project was different from Sagarika/Shourya missile project. The only other possibility alternative to Ballistic Missile based Shourya/Sagarika would be the sub launched CM project that was reportedly a 1000 km range missile.



OTOH after the first public Shourya launch 1.5 year ago DRDO has reported it to be the K-15.
