Ignore the above
Did some cross checking and it seems the article could be K15 because it is similar to the new shaurya round

India’s K4 ballistic missile, range 3500km, reported test fired was more accrurate than Chinese missiles. Nonsense. 2 points. K4 uses strap down (on air frame) inertial navigation with ring laser gyro - inaccurate over 2000km. Then PLA using AI for accuracy - intelligence ( )

AI bug has really got Pravin Sawhney these days..
Yes... They haven't shown the ignition of the main motor..
As if PLA had given him a personal demonstration about their missiles. Oh man there's a licking limit
This guy Needs a A COLONOSCOPY
to see what exactly is his problem with
Every Indian effort
He uses technical jargon to impress people
The thing is that even if we are behind China
Technologically , the Best people who know
And understand the Gaps and Deficiencies and their implications are DRDO and the forces
He is not a Scientist , only a critic
Definition of AI is vast. What was considered earlier as AI is now considered as statistics.
Ground mapping , target acquisition and reducing the error is a part of statistic and AI. Because mathematics used is pure stats and implementation is AI model.
Good lord! AI has become such a magic word that people throw it around like nothing.
Does this old fart understand anything about AI ?? Freaking Chinese pimp !!
AI based navigation for ballistic missiles huh
Moron overdid himself and ended up as a bigger moron
Waste of time even commenting on such garbage
Don't give prostitutes on hire relevance.
Anyways celestial sensors are carried on certain drdo missiles in additional to the usual INS. Basically it is astro inertial navigation system . Pics are available of isro equivalents like star sensors etc.

Even the Americans don't have AI based nav for their ballistic missiles . Open source info indicates efforts towards the same but, no headway . They use combination of celestial sensors and INS.
And the AI peddler should be ased if the Chinese artillery guns possess INS and then lecture others.
The artillery which the pok.... are buying don't have it , while dhanush and atags have it.

Even pinaka has INS , it uses french land INS .
DRDO is working on a land version, and possibly on submarine version
It is the single most expensive component in both artillery and mbrl.
One reason why Chinese are able to see the same at dirt prices.
May be small role of AI in rectifying accuracy? But I think there is still a long way to go. Not everything can be called as AI it can come under stats as well If I am not wrong?
Building a nuclear sub is not child's play. After 1998 India was put under sanctions so imagine the work done by engineers , scientists, and intelligence to gather technology and experiment it re design it. Babuo ne leaders ke sath mil kar baja di thi sabki. And this all development happened with all the resistance, without any extra money sanctioned. Rest were busy looting the nation, through axis bank, yes bank, and kotak and all. There were surely many plans to sabotage it as well and this is the reasons all those involved in the program their identities were not given out even to the highest level.
Thanks to those people who did not come under influence of money, power and promotion and silently worked independently for the country. They are the real heroes of our country.
Navy sailor dies in accident onboard under-construction nuclear submarine
A navy sailor has died in an accident onboard one of Indian Navy's under-construction nuclear submarines. Considering the secrecy of the project, the Navy has not divulged the name of the submarine.
The Incident happened at Navy's Vizag-based eastern naval command ship building centre jetty on April 1.
Four Arihant class nuclear submarines are based at Vizag, while the first submarine INS Arihant was commissioned in August 2016. In 2017, the second boat of the Arihant class—the bigger, improved and better-armed INS Arighat—was launched and presently undergoing sea-trials. Remaining two submarines of the class are under construction. Naval sources expect that all four Arihant class submarines can be commissioned by 2023.
According to naval sources, 26-year-old sailor Paramajit Singh was on duty when accident happened in the boat.
"An incident of material failure happened onboard at Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. A sailor was grievously injured and taken to hospital. subsequently, he succumbed to the injuries," said a naval official. Later on, his body was handed over to the family. Since he died while performing duty, he was given full military honour funeral at his home town.
Meanwhile, a Board of Inquiry has been ordered by the Navy to investigate the cause of the incident.
Arihant class submarine, the nuclear-powered submarines with ballistic nuclear missiles (SSBNs), are meant for deterrence with its long legs. Naval experts believe that SSBNs are not meant for fighting wars, but to prevent wars and we need to have at least four of such submarines to have a 24x7 deterrence. However, India's plan to build six SSNs (attack submarine) with a displacement capacity of 6,000 tonnes is underway.
In 2017, dedicating the boat to the nation as a Diwali gift, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said: “Arihant is an open warning to enemies of India and enemies of peace” and a “fitting response to nuclear blackmail”. With that, India joined another club where the same big five— the US, Russia, Britain, France and China—have been sitting.
INS Arihant, an SSBN category submarine, is both nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed. She is armed with 750km range K15 Sagarika nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. In future, she will get 3,500km (intermediate range) K4 ballistic missiles.
Three of its sister ships of same class are getting ready in the Navy’s secret yard at Visakhapatnam as follow-on ships. And all of which will move around the depths of the waters close to China’s and Pakistan’s coast.
Navy’s fleet of attack submarines, all diesel-powered, has dwindled from an awesome 21 in the 1980s to just 14 at present. Worse still, at least half of the 15 available boats are old and creaking, and undergoing mid-life upgrade. It means India has just seven-eight submarines that are battle-ready at any given time, against 65 of the Chinese navy.
Ideally, the Navy needs at least 24 submarines to meet its 30-year submarine building plan, which was approved by the cabinet committee on security in 1999, months after the Kargil conflict. The plan was to induct 12 diesel subs by 2012 and another 12 submarines by 2030, but repeated delays forced the Navy to rejig the plan.
Now, the plan is to have 18 diesel-powered submarines and six SSNs. The SSNs will be constructed in Visakhapatnam. Meanwhile, to develop skills and drills for operating SSNs, the Navy has got one Akula-class SSN on lease from Russia.

@hellbent remember the recently found hydrodynamic model of the probable S-5 class SSBN ? VP Naidu tweeted the photo. It seems somebody made a rough sketch out of that model for the Wikipage on the S-5 :
From the sketch it is pretty good looking actually. The BM hump shoulder doesn't seem like a eyesore from this angle.

Does it have a watermark? If not, hurry up & pls do the needful.
