K-6 is an intercontinental submarine-launched ballistic missile under development by the Defence Research and Development Organisation of India . The missile has a planned range of more than 8000 Kilometres.
The development of the K-6 missile, with a range of 6,000 km, was initially reported in early 2017.
Admiral Arun Prakash wrote in 2018 that the missile range of the Arihant-class submarines is not sufficient to target potential adversaries of India ; a missile with a range of around 6,000-8,000 kilometres would be required for this task to be performed by a submarine patrolling in a "safe haven".
The K-6 is an intercontinental submarine-launched ballistic missile . It is a three-stage missile and is solid fuelled . It is planned to armed with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles and will have a range of around 8,000 to 12,000 kilometres with a three-tonne payload. It has a planned length of over 12 metres and a diameter of over 2 metres. It will be able carry both conventional and nuclear warheads .
