What!! Is this real??

Why is that we have never hurt of it or have any thread dedicated to it?? Or is it a completely a new missile???

The photos are still not clear. They could still be missiles fired by a fast attack boat.

the launch angle is too steep for a missile fired from a fast attack boat.

is it ASM  or  Land attack Ballistic missile ??

As seen here, the launch angle is too steep and the submarine underwater trail is perpendicular to the launch path.

I don't know what to make of this! Sub launched missiles are all vertical for what I know. The launch angle may signify that the missile canister is outside of the submarine and is an add-on package. But why would it launch 90 degree to the submarine ? I have no answers for that!

Catsoo,
I share your questions.  Subs can launch from vertical missile tubes or nearly horizontal torpedo tubes, the resulting launch angles.  Why then the low angle of launch seen in the video?  Hard to explain.

BTW,  when missiles are fired from subs, the angle is slightly less than 90 degrees.  Normally the sub tilts slightly about its longitudinal axis to prevent the missile from falling back onto the sub if the launch fails.  A few degrees of tilt is all that is needed.
