'ICBM' test

Congratulations are in order for the scientists and everybody else who got the latest Agni off the ground for it's successful maiden kamikaze voyage. The benefits of mobility and accuracy (ring-laser gyros ftw!) cannot be overstated. The media reaction was a bit over the top...

The New Indian Express' headline yesterday had China in it, and not in the context of cuddly black-and-white bears. Even more bizarrely, the Hindu had, after the usual Chinese suspects, the city of Tehran shown in the envelope of the Agni V.

C. has, in its unassuming way, been doing business as usual - roads, rail, tanks, and missiles.
