Range is only marginally affected by cruise altitude. 20 Km cruise is perhaps the lower limit (below that drag will reduce range significantly). 20-40 km altitude is the operating range.
As for more range by using different material, I think the missile works optimally with current confign and the performance is already UBER, why bother? for larger range & payload the K4 kicks in. I love K15 with its current 1800 - 2100 km range.

i know the performance of this Missile is already exceeding expectations but if tomorrow some one wants to better its range...because science gets better as days pass and scientists has no satisfaction of what he achieves...so plz tell me the effects of composites on both stages.
