Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2

once the Arihant goes for sea trial....how much time one can assume it will take for a K - 15 to be actually test fired from it....
any idea.....also will the K-4 development take into consideration that it could be fit into Arihant or it may require future variants of
nuke subs to be deployed.....
