인도가 2024년 8월 취역한 아리한트급 SSBN 2번함 INS 아리가트함에서 11월 27일 K-4 SLBM 시험발사에 성공했다고 합니다. 

K-4는 탄두중량 1톤, 사정거리 3,500km로 핵탄두 탑재가 가능합니다.

India has conducted a successful test of its nuclear-capable K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from the recently commissioned INS Arighaat, a nuclear-powered submarine.  

In preparation of this test, a public area warning and NOTAM was issued for an intermediate-range missile test over a 3,490km flight corridor in the Bay of Bengal, reported The Times of India. 

Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation, the K-4 missile is capable of carrying a 1-tonne (t) payload up to a range of 3,500km, reported Defence News.  

This marks the first test of the K-4 missile from a submarine, following a previous unsuccessful trial in December 2019 due to technical problems.  

The missile, which is 10 metres (m) long and weighs 20t, has been tested at least five times in recent years from submersible platforms, demonstrating its capabilities over nearly its full range, people familiar with the matter told the Press Trust of India. 

INS Arighaat, the second Arihant-class submarine, was commissioned into the Indian Navy in August 2024 at Visakhapatnam, with Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh in attendance.  

It is capable of carrying K-4 missiles, in contrast to its predecessors. 

The construction of INS Arighaat involved advanced design and manufacturing technology, detailed research and development, and the use of special materials and complex engineering. 

The submarine features indigenous systems and equipment, conceptualised, designed, manufactured, and integrated by Indian scientists, industry, and naval personnel.  

Earlier in November 2024, India and Japan signed a memorandum of implementation for the co-development of the Unified Complex Radio Antenna (UNICORN) mast.  

This mast, featuring integrated communication systems, is designed for installation on Indian Navy ships, enhancing the stealth characteristics of naval platforms.

인도 뉴스를 보니 일반 SLBM처럼 위로 올라가네요. 저 사진은 K-4가 아니라 다른 미사일 사진인 것 같습니다. 외형도 20톤급 SLBM 같지가 않고..
