5 things you need to know about K-15, India's underwater ballistic missile

Moving a step closer to completing its nuclear triad, India today successfully test fired its K-15 ballistic missile from an underwater platform in Bay of Bengal. Nuclear triad is the ability to fire nuclear-tipped missiles from land, air and sea. [caption id=“attachment_604167” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Representative image. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/missile11.jpg) Representative image. Reuters[/caption] Here are a few things you should know about K-15: *The medium range ballistic missile has a strike range of around 1500 kilometres. * It is a submarine-launched ballistic missile capable of being launched from some submarines. Modern variants usually deliver multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles each of which carries a nuclear warhead and allows a single launched missile to strike several targets. *K-15 is part of the family of underwater missiles being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation for the Indian strategic forces’ underwater platforms. *This missile will help India to achieve the capability of launching nuclear warheads from underwater facilities. *US, France, Russia and China are the only other countries that have this type of missile capability.
