Thanks for clarifying the report, Arun ji.



BTW, I read through your article [url="http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/SRR/Volume13/sanjay.html"]Evaluating India's Land Based Missile Deterrent[/url]. It was a definite crash course on the state of Indian missile technology. That apart, three of my important takeaways were:



(1) "...many skeptical analysts had a tendency to downplay India’s abilities in the missile field. It is unfortunate that these tendencies still continue, in some Western circles at any rate to this day, in spite of evidence to the contrary,"



(2) "No missile actually needs to be tested to full range. It is possible to lift or depress the trajectory of the missile to simulate a longer range"



(3) "The Agni is unlike long-range missiles developed by western countries, where the RV is purely a passive ballistic load whose accuracy depends on the launching vehicle’s exact insertion into the desired sub-orbital trajectory ... Agni-RV Mk-2 is more advanced than western RVs, for it embodies propulsion, navigation and control all the way to the target."



What is the latest on the Agni Terminal Guidance System vis-vis the Chinese/Korean system used by Pakistan?
