India Test-Fires Nuclear-Capable Missile




OK.. Next article is a news in India. On Wednesday, 12th November 2008,India test-fired a nuclear-capable missile from land launcher in eastern India. Visit this if you wish to know: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,450550,00.html.


According to the article, a ballistic missile k-15 was launched from a submarine with a range up to 435 miles. Chandipur in eastern Orissa state is a site of test launcher in which nearly 700 miles southeast of New Delhi.


My personal opinion about this article is that since India is still in conflicts with Pakistan, both countries made, process, upgrade and test their creation like rockets or missiles for preparation in rivalry of Pakistan. They also compete each other for technologies. I believed that it may be a war among them since the India has upgraded a lot, e.g. The The Agni 3, in contrast, is India's longest-range missile, designed to reach 1,900 miles putting China's major cities well into range, as well as targets deep in the Middle East.
