Those are some seriously impressive pics of SLBMs being launched from India's nuclear submarines, man!

This is a serious capability to have. It further implies that, entire arsenal could be emptied within a matter of minutes! It would be cool if DRDO release a video of salvo firing of K-4 from S2/S3 vessel. This capability coupled with continuous at sea deterrent means India will have a very credible leg of sea-based deterrence in place.

Totally agree! A salvo launch demonstration would definitely be a game changer in showcasing India's sea-based deterrent. The K-4’s range and precision, when combined with a second-strike capability, would make any adversary think twice. Plus, with the continuous at-sea deterrent, it adds another layer of survivability to our nuclear triad. We just need to make sure the operational tempo and maintenance of these assets stay top-notch, so that deterrence remains credible year-round. A video would definitely hype that up, but we also gotta keep some cards close, right?

To me
This looks part of a training exercise
India built 36 K15 Missiles which were initially meant to equippe INS Arihant and Arighaat,

Now with Arighaat coming equipped with Longer range K4 Missiles, it seams that Indian Navy will likely fire 12-18 K15s for training purposes over the next 12 years
With only 32 units of K4 being ordered , and these missiles are to be loaded on INS Arighaat, INS Arhidaman and INS Ariharan , we are unlikely to see Salvo firing of K4
