Indian Nuclear Arsenal

India’s nuclear forces are managed under its Strategic Forces Command (SFC) and follow a "No First Use" policy while maintaining a credible second-strike capability. India’s nuclear deterrent relies on a combination of land-based missiles, submarine-launched systems, and air-delivered nuclear weapons, ensuring strategic stability. With continuous advancements in missile technology and MIRV capabilities, India’s deterrence posture remains robust.

The Agni-V is India's most advanced ICBM, capable of striking targets over 5,500 km away, covering the entire Asian continent and beyond. It features multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) and advanced navigation systems for high precision. As India’s longest-range strategic missile, it strengthens its nuclear deterrence against potential adversaries.

The K-4 is India’s latest SLBM, designed to be launched from the Arihant-class SSBNs for secure second-strike capability. With a range of over 3,500 km, it allows India to strike deep into enemy territory while ensuring survivability at sea. Its integration into India’s nuclear triad enhances deterrence by providing a hidden and retaliatory strike option.
