Battle Cry: India test fires K-4 missile from INS Arihant, sparks panic in Pakistan

In this special edition of Battle Cry, India Today's Gaurav Sawant discusses the strategic implications of India's second successful K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile test. The programme highlights the reaction from Pakistan, where Brigadier Zaheer Kazmi, Advisor at the Strategic Plans Division, conceded that the test is a 'massive boost' to India's sea-based deterrence.

The panel, including Vice Admiral Sanjay Mahendru (Retd), Commodore Praveen Rajpal (Retd), and Senior Journalist Sandeep Unnithan, analyses how the K-4 enhances India's nuclear triad, allowing targeting from the Bay of Bengal. The discussion also covers the impact of 'Operation Sindoor' and the shift in India's defence doctrine.
