• The Indian Navy, on thursday, successfully conducted the maiden firing of an Anti-Ship missile from the first of the indigenously built Kalvari class submarines, during a test firing in the Arabian Sea.
• The missile successfully hit a surface target at extended ranges during the trial firing, held this morning.
• This missile launch is a significant milestone, not only for the Kalvari, which is the first in a series of Scorpene class submarines being built in India, but also in enhancing the Indian Navy’s sub-surface warfare capability.
• All six Kalvari class submarines being built in India will be equipped with this anti-ship missile, which has a proven record in combat.
• These missiles will provide the submarines the ability to neutralise surface threats at extended ranges.
