im highly skeptical of this.
i think india is covering up something that went wrong, sinochallenger's picture proves something went wrong.
it launched but i highly doubt it achieved its objective.
i think indian government is hiding the truth of this launch due to the humiliation of the commonwealth games disaster so india cannot afford another global embarrassment.
indians are known to boast about things, so i will wait until all members of the veto power UNSC confirms the missile objective was successful and it didnt veer off course as there have been reports about that.
