Not to be outdone in the saber rattling, India sneers at other countries, and will soon test the sweetest of all missiles - submarine ballistics with nuclear capability.

The missile, named K-15, has a top range of 700 kilometres (438 miles).
If the test is successful, India will be capable of launching missiles from air, land, ships and submarines, and it will join an elite group that includes the United States, Russia, France and China, experts said.
The announcement comes two months after India's chief military scientist M. Natarajan said that New Delhi would test a ballistic missile with a range of 6,000 kilometres (3,800 miles) in 2008.
Prahlada said the K-15 missile, following its experimental launch, will be "integrated" with a nuclear-powered submarine that India is building.
He also said DRDO scientists would carry out another test of the 4,000-kilometre (2,480 miles) range Agni-III ballistic missile, which could hit targets deep inside China.
