Colonel Bhat also pointed out that the colour of the missile changes from white to orange in the video. He added that speed of the missile, as seen in the video, is impossibly high.



Babur-3, the missile in question here, is said to be a submarine-launched version of Babur-2 land-based cruise missile and has a range of 450 kilometres. As Swarajya reported earlier, this test launch came soon after China expressed displeasure over India's decisions to test long range ballistic missiles. Last week, an op-ed in the Global Times, mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party warned India about the tests, saying China won't hesitate providing Pakistan the technology that it may need for development of long-range missiles.
