Yantar's building these for the Russian Navy too, and they aren't exactly good with delays..... Going elsewhere might have been a better choice.

Oh FFS......

Sustainable exports are key to economic success. Good luck India. Without the License Raj India could have been China twenty years earlier.

To think she was laid down in 1944....

The Saturn V moon rocket weighed 3000 tons and could put 100 into low earth orbit (around 200 km up, not to be confused with GEO (around 35000 km), which is used for GPS and communication satellites because at that orbit a satellite will stay stationary over its part of the Earth's surface.

Isn't it a little late down there? ;)

BLUES TAKE FA CUP!

Still, the "intercontinental"" in ICBM implies true intercontinental range - like Europe to America or America to Asia. The Agni V doesn't cut it.

Here's an example - The R-7 Semyorka, the first ever ICBM., intrduced in the early 60s. It's liquid fueled and takes a long time to ready, unlike India's solid missiles, but has more than twice the range of the Agni V and can hit the USA from Russia, something no Indian missile can do.

You should ask the Indians of Singapore how much they were appreciated by the Japanese regime. The Japanese were unbelievably cruel towards civillians, not to mention starting an aggressive war allied with a genocidal maniac. You fought for a good cause and were granted independence almost...

To be a superpower you need either a large army and a grip on half a continent (The Soviet Union), a vast Empire with an unbeatable navy and outposts on every continent (The UK, and it was a true superpower only until around the 1890s) or the same but with bases rather than colonies (the USA)...

Indians can vote in competitive elections, freely petition their government to address grievances, run media organizations with minimal censorship and access the Internet freely. I'm actually a big fan of Chinese civilization and think China missed a big opportunity in 1898 to modernize and...

Best women on the planet, except maybe the Nordics.

Any bronies here? They don't seem to have moved beyond Poland yet.

A guy is waiting for a green light in his car. Suddenly, someone raps on his window and pokes his head in. "I'm sorry, but we need your help. A terrorist group have kidnapped the Prime Minister and say they will burn him alive with petrol unless they have a million dollars in a week.", he...

I wonder if you can find cognates in other Indo-European languages. It might actually be related to "roar".

Maybe you should stop hating each other...I'm from the Balkans, where xenophobia against Turks and Gypsies is normal, and it doesn't have to be this way. You could do better if you were friends, just like we and Turkey. We're all human, after all.

You should try to develop your own missile in the S-300 class....it would really help against long range targets.

Next we'll have guns firing guns :D

I hope you can start working on a much larger space programme... still great news.
