Dud missile
Sandeep Unnithan January 10, 2008

It was dubbed Baby Tomahawkski, a short-legged Russian version of the eponymous US cruise missiles. Fired from the torpedo tube of a submarine, it could fly over 300 km delivering a 400 kg warhead to a target with pin-point accuracy.
It would give the Indian Navy’s submarines capability to attack targets on land. Yet, the Kilo class submarine INS Sindhuvijay and the land-attack missiles it is equipped to fire have today joined aircraft carrier Vikramaditya as another bone of contention that India has with its largest defence supplier, Russia.
The navy recently refused to take the delivery of Sindhuvijay, which completed refit at the Zvyozdochka shipyard near St Petersburg after its missiles failed to find their targets.

I thought it was interesting as well but for it's size and the fact that a Kilo sub can launch it. Doesn't Iran has a few and China as well?
