#3 Maybe it's me. But that missile doesn't have the usual conformation of a SLBM, where the vertical is precious, and more room given to the wide. Dunno. Maybe it's the scale.

#5 The Arihant's 4 tubes are subdivided to hold 3 K-15 missiles.
The subdivision structure can be removed to fit the K-4 missile which is a much fatter beast.
