India’s Navy successfully test-fired the 3,500-km-range K-4 ballistic missile from the nuclear submarine INS Arighaat on Wednesday. This test validates India’s second-strike capability, strengthening its nuclear deterrence. INS Arighaat, inducted in August 2024, is one of two submarines in the Indian Navy equipped to fire ballistic missiles, alongside INS Arihant. Further tests are planned to refine the missile system. A third nuclear submarine is under development and expected to join the fleet next year. This test marks a significant step in enhancing India's maritime strategic defense capabilities.
