India to test new submarine-launched hypersonic ballistic missile

Each K-6 will have a length of 12 metres, a diameter of two metres, a range of around 8,000 kilometres, a top speed of Mach 7.5, and multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, which would enable a single missile armed with either conventional or nuclear warheads to be used against multiple targets.

According to Indian media, the K-6 missile's capabilities will surpass those of the BrahMos cruise missiles and the K-4 and K-5 SLBMs.
