Indian Missile News And Discussion

[Bharat_2009]

1. K 15 with BGRV

2. K4 with BGRV

3. K5 SLBM or BGRV??



so, Arihant Class will be armed with K4s and K15s BGRVs





Next 3 nuke subs will be armed with K5 SLBM or BGRV ?? May be for longer range we need SLBMs??



I thought 2017 was wrongly reported for K5s but it looks like Advanced K4 Hypersonic Boost Glide missile can keep Pandas under control and it might even become a China specific missile.



We don't have to worry for now, about arming the missiles with MIRVs (to avoid interception) , since K4 Hypersonic Boost Glide Missile can do the job with a Heavy payload and 200 kilotons yield.



It all comes down to how many K4 missiles can arm Arihant? If they can fit in 2 x K4s in each launch tube, it would be awesome. 8 x K4s per Arihant nuke sub can do the job. I hope the real diameter of K4 is around 1 or 1.1 m.
