India successfully tests nuclear-capable K-4 missile, Pakistan in panic

In this special edition of Battle Cry, Gaurav Sawant discusses the strategic implications of India’s second successful K-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile test. The programme highlights the panic in Rawalpindi, with Brigadier Zaheer Kazmi, Advisor at Pakistan's Strategic Plans Division, conceding that the test is a massive boost to India's sea-based triad. Vice Admiral (Retd) Sanjay Mahendru and Senior Journalist Sandeep Unnithan join the broadcast to explain how the K-4 enhances India's reach, allowing targeting from the Bay of Bengal and ensuring continuous at-sea deterrence. The discussion also explores Pakistan's fears of a doctrinal shift following 'Operation Sindoor' and the inability of the Pakistan Navy to counter India's modernised fleet.
