Congrats to scientists on producing the most potent missile. I am not sure what capabilites it has. But 290Kms is quite short range.
I remember that, when they first started the project, it was told that the missle could be used in air,water and land.. All 3 in 1 missile. So, What capabilities wer tested? If Rediff publishes that one too, it would be great!
290 kms is very short range.. Countries r talking about inter-continental missiles that can cross atlantic and still attack.. With 290 kms, u can hit pak and srilanka only..

@Kannan, Some missiles needed to accuratly hit your house window & hit the TV correctly, those need not have to be that much distance. Some needed for city as a whole, that need not have that much precision. Yes, lot of countries have them, we also have them lately for our defensive purpose.

Dude we have agni which has a range of 3500 and this missile is not for its range its an interim short range missile with great speed and precesion.And since we have indegenios technology for space launch vechiles its not a difficult thing to develop an intercontinental missile but that is of no use to us as if now because our enemies are lyeing just besides us.

Sure deftly. We should. Thats why I put a "congrats" message above too.
Also, I am really skeptic about how much DRDO has actually done.
Knowing how un-professional Indians are, and how in-efficient and talent-startved DRDO is, I really dont want to pat their backs, unless they actually deserve it. THats y, I come across as a harsh man.
I work for an IT concern and I really see how Indians are "shameless cheats", "cowards" and they just do NOT explore and find out truths.
This lack of explorative mind in Indians is what bothers me. Our guys dont dream at all because they just happen not to believe in their own will power in achieving it.
Successful completion of any scientific project gives me pleasure, and if will be related to our countries own interest, that will proud me. So many many congratulation to the joint scientific community......
Great work done..........we are proud on you. It is great achiovement for india. India shining.................India shining.................India shining.................India shining.................

We want to shine like others too. We want to shine like others too. We want shine like others too.
Congratulations to the Indian and Russian Scientist for this achievement. I hope many such joint operations would be possible with growing relationship between India and erstwhile soviet block Russia. Thanks, Umesh

"There is no missile in the world with such capacities, precision, speed and power." Really...? Wow. Hope one day India will be at the top.

We already in the top in that category, then why another question again? Not one day, we already in second top in some category too, that you & me know, don't tell the secret outside.

Well, We colloborate with others too. That is what my point is. Congrats DRDO & of course to Russians too.
All mother of invention is necessity, who created necessity? Also, for destroying Pakistan or giving disturbance to other neighbors, we don't need any more research, what ever we have is enough. But it is not about giving disturbance, it is about defending ourselves better so that an aggressor, thinks twice even to think about an aggression.
