News report

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

A while ago, I was told by a senior Indian member here, that NDTV was one of the most "reasonable" news outlets in India, along with "The Hindu".

So I did a quick search for some NDTV news clips about China, and I was treated to a barrage of "Fire-breathing Dragon" this, and "Fire-breathing Dragon" that.

After Agni V Chinese obsession about India is growing, now they have started searching for news videos. What next?

Next 2 years max, India will be out of bonds.

LOL, talk about obsession.

Let's check a third-party source then shall we?

New York Times - India Measures Itself Against a China That Doesn’t Notice

It seems to be a national obsession in India: measuring the country’s economic development against China’s yardstick

Indians, in fact, seem to talk endlessly about all things China, a neighbor with whom they have long had a prickly relationship, but which is also one of the few other economies that has had 8 percent or more annual growth in recent years.

Indian newspapers are filled with articles comparing the two countries. Indian executives refer to China as a template for development. Government officials cite Beijing, variously as a threat, partner or role model.

But if keeping up with the Wangs is India’s economic motive force, the rivalry seems to be largely one-sided.

Even outsiders can see the Indian obsession.

or labelling our missiles after other countries like the one below.

One media outlet labeled it that, not DRDO or the government. There is a big difference.

FORTY years later, and India still doesn't have either one of those things (even the above IRBM won't be inducted until 2015), yet you guys are still boasting so much.

Doesn't matter. India doesn't need that much range and it clearly stopped the range from covering Australia, other parts of Europe.

All it matters is that Agni V is 3 staged missile and it's war head can enter space then re-enter to hit its target. And will be MIRV capable. The scientist are confident that if they wanted to increase the range they could, but it's not their choice, but the government.

Agni V: China Killer

What the Indians don't realize... is that China had ICBM's with 10,000+ km range, back in the 1970's. And multiple-megaton nuclear warheads too.

does not matter when u made ur 10k missile, it can be 60's or 18th. century. What matters is what we have when we go for war if at all. As long as we have deterrent we are good. Agni V will give us that, plain and simple.

China felt threatened by USA, and even the Soviets. So that's why they wanted the range. India doesn't need that much range. Even Agni 3 is almost enough to cover any potential offender.

Agni V is a 3 staged rocket with re entry capability. And will have MIRV capability.

If the government wants the range to increase, DRDO will do it.

About the "China Killer" tell me when DRDO calls it that, because Indian media says a lot of things.

Can't China's anti-missile defense systems target and destroy the Agni-V?

LOL, it hasn't even been inducted yet (still several years away), and Indians are still boasting so much about it.

You maybe able to do 99% of time but 1% will make you think. Agni V helps us stop war, its a tool for peace.

So India is willing to exercise it's 1% chance of hitting China with the Agni-5? What deterrence is there in 1%?

It is not even a deterrent to conventional war, because India has a "no first use policy" (as does China).

Which means we can theoretically even go into a full-scale war without bringing nuclear weapons to the table.

Not that there is any real comparison. India's entire nuclear arsenal is only about 1 megaton in total, whereas one single Chinese nuke is 3-4 megatons alone. One Chinese nuke, has more destructive power than India's entire nuclear arsenal.

Like the Indian Naval Chief said, "India cannot match China by conventional or non-conventional means".

You're right, India should feel more threatened, so they'll increase the arsenal right?? Hope so.

It's been to soft.

Sometimes you need a fire under your ***.

We know it is not inducted and will take some years, but achievement is achievement. Had this was done by your friend you would have been busy congratulating.

Hypocrisy is only real thing in this world, everyone is a hypocrite.
