Two Largest Countries Target Each Other for Annihilation

Who cares anyway?
It's just a missile made by brown people
targeting brown people....

India on Sunday test-fired its longest-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile, the Agni III, which can hit targets deep within China, a senior defense ministry official said.

The missile, whose name means fire, has a range of more than 3,000 km, and was launched from Wheeler island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa, the official, who did not wish to be named, told Reuters.

The test was successful, he added.

Analysts say the successful test pushed India into a new phase in its long-term nuclear defense strategy.

"This means that India has entered an altogether different league of nations, a new club," Rahul Bedi, India correspondent of Jane's Defense Weekly, told Reuters.

"We can now reach large parts of northern China making our deterrence capacity stronger. Also, when a country is able to develop a missile which can travel 3,500 km, it is not difficult to make something that can go 5,000 km.

Why would India need Nuke Missiles?

Sun Jul 09, 2006 14:40

Not just China
but US backed Pakistan
US (accidentally gave Nukes to) Iran
Maybe Saudi Arabia in the Future
and lets not forget about Russia and Israel
the region is getting crowded with Nukes

...and oh yeah, the US of A
(with a massive bomber base at Diego Garcia
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Garcia ]
that is currently used to drop death from the skies on both afghanistan and iraq)

Key to all of the above's history is a man named AQ Khan

No serious debate about the Iranian Nukes is complete without mentioning his name
{ yet his name goes virtually unknown.... }
