Arunji,
Agree with ur clarification on NOTAMs. Still, the wording in India today includes the possibility of just a surface breaking test rather than one where everything incl. BGRV was tested for some flight trajectory, right ? This is still ambiguous unless there is further confirmation. Of course, Uncle could have chosen to stay silent on this test even after (likely) detection. All in all, good news.
Isnt 2017 too long for K-4 given that K-15 went from first test to serial production in 4 years ? Or is 2017 for the 6000 km SLBM ? BK says the 6000 km SLBMwll be available by 2015...whom to believe ?
Looks more and more like "haathi ke daant khaane ke aur dikhaane ke aur" as far as strat. prog. is concerned...
