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.
