Deep beneath the waters of the Bay of Bengal, something extraordinary just happened. India has successfully tested the K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile, a weapon that can travel an astonishing 3,500 kilometers. And it was fired from none other than INS Arighaat, India’s third nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. But this is more than just a missile launch—it’s a story of strategy, stealth, and scientific excellence.

INS Arighaat was commissioned last year and is a key pillar of India’s nuclear triad—the backbone of the country’s strategic defense. Unlike conventional submarines, this nuclear-powered giant can stay submerged for months, silently patrolling the deep, virtually invisible to the world above. And now, armed with the K-4 missile, it has transformed into a silent sentinel of India’s security.

00:00Deep beneath the waters of the Bay of Bengal, something extraordinary just happened. India
00:24India has successfully tested the K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile, a weapon that can travel
00:31in astonishing 3,500 kilometers. And it was fired from none other than INS Arigat, India's
00:39third nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. But this is more than just a missile launch.
00:45It's a story of strategy, stealth, and scientific excellence. INS Arigat was commissioned last
00:52year and is a key pillar of India's nuclear triad, the backbone of the country's strategic
00:58defense. Unlike conventional submarines, this nuclear-powered giant can stay submerged for
01:04months, silently patrolling the deep, virtually invisible to the world above. And now, armed
01:11with the K-4 missile, it has transformed into a silent sentinel of India's security. The
01:17K-4 missile is a crucial upgrade in India's arsenal. While the shorter-range K-15 Sagarika missile
01:24covers 750 kilometers, the K-4 can strike targets over 3,500 kilometers away, bridging the gap
01:32between existing missiles and future long-range submarine-launched systems. In other words,
01:38India can now hit long-range adversaries from deep beneath the ocean, completely undetected.
01:44This success didn't happen overnight. Years of planning, research, and rigorous testing went into
01:51this launch. Every calculation, every trial, every test in the Bay of Bengal was meticulously conducted.
01:58The goal? To ensure that India has a credible second strike capability, a cornerstone of nuclear
02:05deterrence. Simply put, even if land-based nuclear assets are targeted in a first strike, India can respond,
02:12ensuring total security. As the K-4 missile shot across the sky, reaching its full operational
02:19range, it wasn't just a test, it was a message to the world. A message that India's defense capabilities
02:26are not just growing, they are strategic, silent, and survivable. This is India asserting its readiness
02:33in a complex and competitive Indo-Pacific region. The submarine leg of India's nuclear triad is vital.
02:40Land-based missiles can be targeted, and air-based systems can be intercepted. But stealthy, nuclear-powered
02:47submarines like INS Arigat are incredibly hard to detect. They can patrol silently, strike from unexpected
02:55angles, and remain hidden for months, making them the ultimate deterrent. With this successful test,
03:02India has not only filled a crucial range gap in its missile arsenal, but has also sent a strategic signal
03:09to the world. Long-range adversaries must think twice. The K-4 strengthens India's defense posture
03:16across the Indo-Pacific, and ensures that the country's second-strike capability is rock-solid
03:22and highly survivable. The story of K-4 and INS Arigat is far from over. It's a story of vision,
03:30dedication, and national pride. A story that reflects India's rise as a major strategic power. With the
03:37undersea leg of the nuclear triad now stronger than ever, India has entered a new era of defense
03:43preparedness, one that is silent, deadly, and impossible to ignore. This was more than a missile test.
03:50This was India showing the world, we are ready, vigilant, and stronger than ever before.
