Indian SLBM Perfected


May 15,
2008:  India announced that it had
perfected the technology for launching  ballistic missiles from a submerged submarine.
The seven ton K15 Sagarika SLBM (Sea Launched Ballistic Missile) has been
successfully tested three times, using an improvised underwater silo. The
Sagarika has a 750 kilometer range, and a 
half ton payload, which is sufficient to handle a nuclear warhead.  India is developing a nuclear submarine, and
one capable of carrying Sagarika won't be available for 5-10 years.
