The missile, which can be launched from submarines, was test-fired yesterday in the Bay of Bengal and all parameters were met, Defence Ministry sources said.
This is the longest range missile in the underwater category to have been developed by India. With this development, India has developed the capability of launching long-range nuclear-capable missile from surface, air and underwater…….
