The Indian Navy achieved a major success by successfully testing the K-4 ballistic missile on Wednesday. It is worth noting that this test of the K-4 missile was conducted from the nuclear submarine INS Arighat, which recently joined the Navy. The Strategic Forces Command operates the nuclear submarine INS Arighat.

Its range is 3500 km of the K-4 ballistic missile. It will immensely enhance the strength of the Navy. INS Arighat can be equipped with 12 K-15, four K-4, and 30 torpedoes at a time. This was the first time that a successful test of a K-4 ballistic missile from a submarine had taken place. The Indian Navy had successfully tested the K-4 ballistic missile.

According to media reports, this test is important in terms of India's nuclear capability and now India has become capable of launching a long-range nuclear attack from the sea. With the Navy successfully testing the K-4 ballistic missile, most of China's area has come within the range of nuclear weapons. The Navy had tested this missile in the Bay of Bengal. India's first nuclear submarine INS Arihant has K-15 missiles, but their range is only 750 kilometers. Now, after the successful test of the K-4 missile from INS Arighat, India's strength against China has increased.
