India today sucessfully test fired sucessfully K-15,a SLBM(submarine launched ballistic missile) from a pontoon launcher off Vizag (Vishakhapatnam).
The misslie can carry nuclear warheads and can strike an enemy target 700km away. This gives India the most reliable nuclear deterence,so far available with only the elite five: US,UK,Russia,France,China.
The missile will be integrated to 3 indigeneous nuclear submarines being built at Vizag under Advance Technology Vehicle(ATV).

UK aint in the elite 5!!
UK’s long range balastic missile and bomber capabilities have been curbed by their own economic stench. Their last long range bombers were decommissioned in the year they fought the infamous falkland wars. Hence they’r nowhere near achieving nuclear triad.
Now france is focused on air deployment and SLBMs but not surface to surface balastics. Hence france too has only a conventional fail-deadly or second strike.
But Israel quiet possible. Their deterance from land and air world has acknowledged, no lets say wary off. now with the emmese german help over submarines they have the elite class of submarines for underwater cruise missile launches.
they cant be far behind in nuclear capability either
anyways hurray India, Zindabad……..
way to go!!!

Even i wasnt sure of whether UK is in the SLBM club or not.Before posting this i thought it isnt butsome places referred that it does have.
See Wiki article on SLBM,there its mentioned that UK does have SLBM.Not authentic though, still.
