#2 There will be a test SLBM launch from the Arihant submarine n a few months.
The 3000 km range SLBM has already been tested from a submersible pontoon.

The canister means the Indians are abandoning their recessed deterrent strategy. Currently the civilian Atomic Energy agency manufactures and stockpiles the warheads. They are only released to the military and mated in emergencies. These canisters will require the warhead to be mated to missile prior to insertion into the canister. The Indians will be relying on PALs to secure these ready to fire weapons in the custody of the military's strategic forces command, which has been practice firing missiles quite regularly.
