NEW DELHI, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- India advanced its nuclear capability, with scientists announcing it is the fifth nation to conduct a successful test of an undersea ballistic missile.

Sunday's Defense Research and Development Organization test of the nuclear-capable ballistic missile K-15, also called BO5, was conducted from an undisclosed undersea location in the Bay of Bengal, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

The test helped the country take another step toward achieving the so-called nuclear triad -- the ability to fire nuclear-tipped missiles from land, air and other reports said.

not first time nor the last ....

thoose that do not know their history are bound to repeat it .

Well I guess this means that the nuclear arms race in Asia is about to ramp up again.

The unfortunate thing is that (without fail) every time a country tests a nuclear-capable missile, the opposing neighbour/rival tests one that little bit better.

Watch for a show of brinkmanship by China next.

Much thanks for this. The whole warning to its citizens to build underground shelters is pretty scary stuff to me. Its new. Its not posturing like the other countries seem to do on a monthly basis. I take heed on this. I am telling others to bring in their tomatoe plants.

Knowing the Indians, it was prob solid gold

Indians LOVE gold!

Why is it ok for them to test missiles but not iran or north korea?

For the same reason why it's okay for a chef to have a knife but not Charles Manson.

I was thinking the same thing considering anyone who eats too much curry will get the B.O. (body oder) of five.

India been kicking some ass lately. I wonder if they're just doing it just to do it, or for some specific purpose.

apparently they are using curry powder in some of the hand grenades and stuff...

Not to mention Brahmos,best in Market.

"You should develop a hypersonic version of BrahMos which can be reused [...] meaning that the missile should be able to deliver its payload and return to base. This will help in maintaining our leadership in this arena."-India's Missile man and Former President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
