New Delhi: China has reportedly sent a ship to spy on India’s missile experiment.
Last month, India successfully conducted a test launch of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from its indigenous INS Arihant nuclear ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), reinforcing its membership in a select group of countries with the highest level of strategic nuclear deterrence.
On October 14, the Indian Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced that the INS Arihant, which means “destroyer of enemies” in Sanskrit, successfully tested an SLBM, firing the missile at a predetermined range and impacting the designated target area at the Bay of Bengal with “very high accuracy,” The Indian Express reported.
“All operational and technological parameters of the weapon system have been validated,” said the Indian MoD in a press statement.
