As per media reports, India is all set to test fire two Strategically important missile systems from its arsenal . Second launch of Agni-V is scheduled for next month, after it was first test fired in April last year and created massive buzz in political and military circles all over the world. Agni-V launch propelled India into Elite nuclear club, Club where countries not only possess Nuclear weapons but also such long range missiles systems to deliver nukes to their intended target deep in enemy territory. Second test will be validating reliability and repeatability of the previous test for stabilizing the performance of sub-systems. DRDO is already working to development of Canister version of Agni-V, which will be tested by late 2014; Canister variant of the missile will enable higher flexibility in launching and speedy firing from any location on a road. DRDO has planned total 3 tests, before user trials of the missile starts and enters production by late 2015. Another Game changer missile officially making its debut will be 3,500 km range K-4 submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM); K-4 launch is also scheduled to have its first publicly acknowledged test launch from a submerged pontoon off the Visakhapatnam coast also in September. next months test of K-4 most likely will be final development trial or one of any developmental trials of the missile, since it has been long rumoured that first test firing of K-4 might have taken place way back in 2010 itself. K-4 will be game changer for India in many ways, not only it will complete Indias third leg of the nuclear deterrent (air and ground-launched weapons being the other two) and will also be ideal invulnerable second strike weapon stated in the nuclear doctrine. K-4 even with reduced payload will be able to hit from Bay of Bengal into deeper Chinese cities while staying far away from coast waters of china. Posted in India
