India bragged about its HSTDV back in 2007.
Indians are again TALKING about their beloved HSTDV after the news that China has conducted a test of its HGV(a member of a huge hypersonic family that is under simultaneous developments and engineering prototypings
)。
Do more,talk less。
Fact is that India has been transparent about its programme .
We know exact specifications of HSTDV to be tested ...what about China
Besides mere statement do we have anything more to trust ?
Do we know what were the specifications of this Hypersonic vehicle that China tested ...what was the flight duration etc ...
None .
We have been open and vocal about what we are doing ...
and given our priorities and constrains we are doing good job ...
we are not in race with anyone ....
and as it was forecasted we are going to test the system this year ....
agreed that like most of Indian programmes this has been bit delayed but what big deal about it ?
India is a democratic country and has free space ....that's why the news keep coming ...
That doesn't mean India is just boasting ...
without capacity and capability we would not have had mastered technologies that only select group of nations possess ... !
It is true that this news has surfaced at time when china tested its system and it is quite obvious that this should happen ...so what exactly you are offended of ???
India has showed ....
India talked about Mars mission and it did launch mission within record time of 15 months ...
If as you paint , India had been good enough only in talking we could not have achieved what we have so far ...
India is a democratic country and each and everything under the sun is discussed and subjected to scrutiny ....people like you who have grown in totalitarian system where government controls the media and discussion can't understand why Indians 'talk' or 'discuss' more .... !!!
