Some one told me the good old surgeon turned nuclear scientist on the venerable forum has lost his nuclear physics calculus skills (unless this is his real intelligence and someone was couching him on the nuclear weapons design and right Bum options for India. Like stitching back hymen of girl in his family who has lost virginity before marriage (this is his own words, he put on the venerable forum)
Surgeon Dr. Shiv a.k.a (new nuclear scientist) forgot to to use his brain to figure out that in the said 10 minutes the target land also travellign at 1600 kmph and moved further away 260 km !! If only Daktarr saab will recall his childhood story of carrot in front of the donkey moves forward, as the donkey walks forward to eat it. Donkey brain onleeee, good for piskology.<img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Recalling info for 4 decades ago - the earth rotates at 1600 kmph - and that would mean 260 Km extra flight (about 8 % extra free) towards the east for a 10 minute flight no?
