To make the Indian Rocket Force more powerful, DRDO may soon conduct a new missile test in the Bay of Bengal. It has not been revealed what type of missile this will be. But according to the details in the X handles, this test could be conducted around Visakhapatnam.
Since there is a naval base there, there is a possibility of the submarine-launched cruise missile (SLCM) being tested. Or K-15 Sagarika. One reason behind this is the NOTAM of 1730 km. That means DRDO issues NOTAM before conducting the test. This means that no ships or planes will go to sea between October 27 and 30.

Shortly before, on November 16, DRDO had test-fired a hypersonic missile. Whose range was 1500 kilometers. Therefore, there is a possibility that considering the range of NOTAM and the launch from the Visakhapatnam naval base, this test is of a medium-range missile.
Production of the Pralay missile increased, its deployment will take place soon
It is a missile with solid propellant. Which kills at a distance of 150 to 500 kilometers. The speed of the cataclysm is 1200 km/h. Which can be increased to 2000 km/h. That is, when falling on the target from the air, its speed increases. China has this type of Dongfeng-12 missile. While Pakistan has Ghaznavi, M-11 (obtained from China) and Shaheen missiles.

The question is which missile will be tested this time…
SLCM… This missile was also secretly tested in February last year. Two more variants are being manufactured. Land attack cruise missile (LACM) and anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM). It is actually an improved variant of the Nirbhay missile. Of which no name has been given at the moment.
The range of the SLCM is 500 km. It achieved a range of 402 km during the test carried out in February. Its length is 5.6 meters. Its weight with warhead is 975 kg. Reach the target by navigating with the help of Indian navigation system, GPS. It has an RF seeker installed.
Deadly speed of 864 km/h, ability to fool radar
The specialty of these missiles will be that when they leave their launcher their wings will open. If it is built on the Nirbhay missile platform, then the speed of this missile can be between 864 and 1000 km/h. A warhead weighing 200 to 300 kg can be installed on it.
SLCM has the ability to skim the sea and adapt to the terrain. That means this missile can dodge radar by flying lightly over sea water and land. This is a situation where it is very difficult to disable it by pointing it.

Two types of warheads can be installed, their deployment on these submarines is possible.
Two types of warheads, that is, weapons, can be installed on it. The first explosion of precision. It can blow up bunkers and strategic targets. Second burst in the air that has the power to blow up things with weak layers. SLCM will be deployed on Kalvari, Sindhughosh and Project-75I class submarines.
The Indian government is going to induct a large number of Nirbhay cruise missiles for the three armies. The Nirbhay missile has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. It’s heavy. Its weight is about 1450 kg. The length is 6 meters.

The second missile is… K-15 Sagarika, that is, death coming out of the sea.
The K-15 Sagarika missile, one of India’s nuclear missiles, has a range of 750 to 1,500 km. The Indian Army has two variants. First ground-launched missile. The second is fired from a submarine. Apart from this, two variants are being manufactured. Currently it is only used by the Indian Navy. Its speed makes it extremely lethal. It moves towards the enemy at a speed of 9260 km/h. Its weight is 6 to 7 tons. The length is 33 feet and the diameter is 2.4 feet.
